    The difference between you and other you tube MPC tutors is that I can tell you’re actually a musician that has developed techniques over years of use. Other guys are just making generic tutorials, just to put out content, but they don’t actually make music, so they don’t have any original ideas. Thanks for this workflow tip. It’s very helpful.

    Oh yes, the one sequence workflow was the key to produce better stuff. Especially using analog gear with external effects. The trasition between the sequences was very oft frustrating and sounds boring. The one sequence workflow gave me back the control over my projects. First I define a comfortable long sequence length. Than it is very helpful to use the start and end point setting in the sequence setting. You can loop there like the multi sequence workflow without losing the overview over the whole project. It is sometimes a little bit tricky in the beginning but worth it. Thank you for sharing.

    Peace Tube Digga. Good contents. May i add two very helpful tips to this?
    1. Using the Qlink is a great way to move through steps especially when working in one sequence (1st Q LINK, Second knob from the top)
    touching the blue bar locator can be a little awkward, maybe cuz i got big fingers lol.
    2.I think its much better to use the automation to mute and unmute stuff rather than deleting.Which is also very easy on the grid edit page.i say this because if you change your ming on some part you have the option to quickly put back what you muted. much more flexible
    hope you get where im coming from.

      Definitely agree on the use of mute, although you don't need to use the automation feature, just overdub and use the Mute grid to choose your tracks as you play. A nice use of live production.
      Good to start with everything muted to... So you can build up the the track instead of removing things.

    I just bought one of these and I have to say that it has kind of a steep logistical learning curve. That is, it's fairly easy to learn what everything does, but it's much harder to learn how to get to all of those things quickly and efficiently. If you just want to make some music, that's a drag. This is a really helpful video. Thanks for making it.

    • @TUBEDIGGA
      @TUBEDIGGA  Год назад +2

      It does fall into place fairly quickly, I'd say it's an exponential learning curve meaning the initial first few weeks/couple of months may be steep but once you get one thing that ties into another and so on, things ramp up fairly quickly as long as you stick at it and enjoy the process. Don't be too precious about the music you make, make mistakes, experiment and refine your workflow as you progress. Email me if you're really struggling and interested in lessons which will accelerate your learning. tubedigga@gmail.com

  • @omenjh

    I had been thinking of a way to work like this lately. I have come to a hybrid way of working where I use your method but still flash out a few sequences first. This works for more complex dnb songs. I would maybe work out 3-4 variations of bass leads for the main chorus / verses on different sequences ( mutes if needed ). Write an 8 bar intro with everything sound I want in it.
    I will then put these into song mode using the intro sequence for as how many bars I want for an intro, then use the 3-4 different sequences for as long as I want for the drop, then use the intro again for the breakdown part, and then do the same for second drop etc etc. Once I have a lose structure I convert to one sequence and work like you do above, taking out stuff, adding stuff and doing turn arounds etc

    You can do a lot more with automation when your whole track is in one sequence as well. I purposely convert my song mode songs to a sequence because of this. I may give this a try but I feel like it would take me more time for the way I work. I only use one sound per program per track.

  • @hvhvgitaar
    @hvhvgitaar Год назад

    Thanks for the video. Interesting approach. I suppose it would work if the entire piece is basically a set of variations of the same pattern, with occasional mutes and variations in effects. That’s what contemporary dance music is of course, so the MPC makes it easy to produce repetitive music,
    However I don’t see it working for songs, because they typically have 5 to 8 quite different sections (intro, verse, chorus, bridges, outro , alternative versions of verse patterns), each with a quite different rhythm pattern, baseline, chords, vocals. You would need a DAW or something like the Force or Maschine, where you can build and arrange a song from its different sections and record audio (vocals, guitar etc) across the full timeline.

    • @TUBEDIGGA
      @TUBEDIGGA  Год назад

      It’s personal preference really, there’s no rules. For example, I personally always keep all my drums in the same program and programmed on the same track. That way I can see all the notes in one view and it makes editing much quicker. So if you were to do that, you could manage your banks in multiple ways. One way is to just use one entire program for all your sounds. You could assign all your kicks to Bank A, all your snares to Bank B and all your hats to Bank C for example. Or all your drums to Bank A, sound effects to Bank B, and vocals to Bank C etc. It’s good to think ahead with these things and be organised because often you’ll get 2/3rds of the way into a complex project and it’s easy to get lost or overwhelmed with all the assets you have to manage.

    Good explanation. But for me the next method of recording on my MPC is with the usb 32 channel output to a mixer and record off live each channel in a separate Daw like Ableton. The main reason I am keeping the MPC is the playability and jaming and sampling. quite frankly it really really sucks for song arrangement and all that jamming fee goes out the window. The song mode and sequencing on MPC is terrible, there isn't even a way to erase a sequence in the Next Sequence window. Once sequence is a way round this but its very slow and zero jamming feel.

  • @mizar002
    @mizar002 6 месяцев назад

    I don't like multi sequence workflow either, but I struggled with this one sequence workflow without solving some problems: With a single sequence you can't create track loops, and it will be extremely hard to modify a drum/plugin track of 1/2 bars repeated when you already have a 128 bars sequence setup.
    I wanted to point out also that in your workflow you can also make the drum start without erasing, but simply with volume or mute automation. In this way, if you change your mind, you can alter the start point or intermediate points when you want to stop the drums without having to rewrite the notes on the track.

    • @TUBEDIGGA
      @TUBEDIGGA  6 месяцев назад

      I don’t dislike multiple sequences. I just prefer to use a one sequence workflow. Both of your examples (repeating 1/2 bars and reinstating any erased notes) can be easily remedied by using the functions in the sequence edit menu, by choosing note ranges and copying them to other positions in the timeline. Unless I misunderstood what you meant about track loops. Using a one sequence workflow doesn’t mean you can’t use an additional sequence for a loop, you can have that alongside the main one sequence. Or use a clip track, or resample a section and loop it separately. But yes, automation is one solution. I personally prefer to destructively edit as it forces me to make decisions and commit so I can move on instead of getting caught up with choices and options.

    I think I remember seeing another way which is very similar to what you demonstrated. but you take the main sequence of the song like you did, duplicate the sequences name them (intro, verse,verse2,chorus, etc), make all the changes to each sequence, them merge them all back together again as 1 full song sequence. An I THINK that option was in the song mode with the convert to sequence button after you put your sequences in order. So its very similar except it breaks it all up to mange each part of the seq then brings it all together again to modify the entire song.

      I’m always thinking of ram and keeping it at a minimum - by flattening the pad I’m creating a new shorter sample to keep the ram usage low. It’s a habit and also good practice, even if you’re not using a lot of samples or large samples. It also helps to save storage space when saving projects. I’m always on top of my housekeeping in the MPC for these reasons and also to avoid potential crashes which I find occur when ram usage is high.

      It also makes sense to just build your whole song in one sequence, because after you do all that work making multiple sequences and add them in song mode, it converts it all into one sequence anyway right. Thanks again.

      @@TUBEDIGGA sorry to be a bother, another thing thats happening is i convert to sequence and everything plays fine now. But only after i export as a mixdown, the same sequence i exported then suddenly plays my bassline out of tune. I check the exported file and it also plays the bassline out of tune. Im using a midi keyboard to play the bassline. In the sequence thats out of tune, if i turn the keyboards pitchwheel once it kicks it back in tune. But even when i try and export again, it throws it back out of tune? Im at a loss.

    Great video! I really like the idea of this approach. Are midi notes chased / followed? Say for example, you start playback from bar 8 and have long notes (samples) that start on bar 4 and which carry on through bar 8 and beyond? And what if that note on bar 4 was only a short note but had a long delay echo or reverb tail that went past bar 8, would you hear that tail if starting playback from bar 8? I hope this question makes sense! It seems that for the approach outlined in this video it would be ideal to start playback from any point in the song and not have any note that preceeded that point cut off. Cheers.

    • @TUBEDIGGA
      @TUBEDIGGA  2 года назад

      Samples triggered via midi won’t be heard if the play head is beyond their start point. They need to be triggered to be heard. From memory I think the MPC5000 had the option to play a sample even if the play head had passed the note. With the new MPCs this can only be done with samples
      on audio tracks.

    Certainly an interesting workflow, but have you ever tried with 128 bars or more? MPC really struggles and the device becomes nearly useless in grid mode. When I hit pads, sometimes it takes up to 5 seconds to select all notes... so I guess I stick to the song mode ;)

    • @TUBEDIGGA
      @TUBEDIGGA  3 года назад

      A lot of people complain that they create 4 bars or so and don’t know how to develop an idea further. This workflow let’s you use that loop as your main idea but spread it out so you can get inspired to add more elements and have room to work. It’s not just practical, there’s probably a psychological aspect to it, knowing you have more space to make changes.

    Excellent video.
    If you are using the same instrumentation from song to song is it possible to use sequence 2, 3.....etc to also hold complete songs and in this way have a whole set in one project. This would save time in waiting for projects to load. Anyone know any reason not to do this??

    • @TUBEDIGGA
      @TUBEDIGGA  2 года назад +1

      That’s completely fine and what this video is all about but the main consideration would be RAM memory as usual. However, drum programs allow for so much manipulation of samples per pad that you could simply reuse the same set of samples for each sequence (song).

    Tell me if this is possible: 1. Can you make each sequence and infinite Loop? That would eliminate the need to specify the length. 2. Then assign each infinite loop to a pad? 3. Then record yourself "padding" as you please? That seems like a less stressful process. Can this be done?

    • @TUBEDIGGA
      @TUBEDIGGA  2 года назад

      Sequences loop by default, the sequence length still needs to be set to loop. You can’t assign a sequence loop to a pad, only a sample but even then a workaround is required (of which there are a couple) to infinitely loop a sample. I have videos on here that show that or I can show you these tricks and more via zoom lessons. I also have a Masterclass course which explains terminology and processes so they don’t get confusing. Course links and my email are in the description if you need my personal guidance 👍

      Wes Darling The One has less in terms of auxiliary outputs, USB and midi ports and also the Live 2 has a speaker and is fully portable as it can run off the battery. You can also fit an SSD inside which you can’t do with the One. If you need all those extra things then get the Live Mk2. I got the One because it was enough for me, although part of me wishes I’d got the Live 2 because of the SSD bay. But it’s no biggie.

    • @TUBEDIGGA
      @TUBEDIGGA  Год назад

      I work this way because I always have. Back in the 90s all I had was a workstation with a very small screen and no ‘timeline’ - just bar values from 1 to 300 for example. It made more sense to me to plot my music along one timeline instead of several small timelines. It also meant any automation I wrote was uninterrupted and smoothly flowed which it wouldn’t if using multiple sequences/ patterns stitched together or played sequentially. I personally don’t like having separate sequences because I feel detached from any sequence I’m not currently working in. But that’s just me, and in my world it won’t be null and void - I have the Force and don’t use the arranger too much. It works well for the Force but I won’t stop using this workflow for MPC if / when it has the arranger.
