Let's do this, and other of your Videos in German and Croatian/Serbian too! What do you think about it? Let's do this together in German and I can do it then on my own (but also in your/our name or how ever).
Your DnB MPC videos are really going to step up my game. I've been struggling to get past noob status but you really show details that other RUclipsrs don't (starting to think they don't even know they just are making ads)
Great video. Starting to make my first dnb tracks and found your process super helpful!!!
The view on the filter/amp envelope page is so much better here than it is now!
Thanks Tubedigga. You’ve taught me loads about my mpc live
Just found your channel, just got a MPC X plus i'm an old school, Jungle/drum n bass was my days so appreciate you for doing this, as most tutorials if not all only
cover Hip hop & R&B.
Im in UK south Croydon
will probably check out your 1 on 1 stuff through skype once I've setup my MPC.
Respect bro.
A solution I found for sample selection headaches is to play a track I like and select samples that I think could work in that track. In the end I have a kit that works!
Really enjoyed this TubeDigga!! Love watching your workflow and approach to everything!
Some really good techniques here!!
We are lucky to have such a dope producer here on RUclips putting out quality content like this!
Thank you!!! Looking forward to part 2!!!
This is the most helpful video I have found to make DnB on an MPC! Thank you!!!!
Oh my God I found you. This is proper instruction from a DIGGA making molto Slap beats! I’ve been looking for the person. You are it! Money to folllow.
I just checked my PayPal to see if I could find your email address so I could thank you but it wasn’t there. Glad you left a comment so I can thank you here instead. Really appreciate your generosity Carl, and glad you like my content. Peace!
That’s it.. I’ve just purchased an MPC X.. been trying my hand at jungle and dnb for over a decade and I hate how non-musical the mouse/screen aspect of electronic music can be.. the hands-on approach of the MPC looks so satisfying
How'd it go?
Give us a 2 year update infinite. X
This series is top stuff. Thank you.
👊
Great video and channel. The side-stick you are thinking about is called a grace-note/s. Little intricate rolls, single hits or drags played on the snare quietly. Side stick is where you hold one stick on to the snare head and the other stick is used to play the other stick, so you get the wood sound from the sticks and a bit of volume from the drum resonance and snare.
Yes I usually refer to
the 16th note snares as ghost notes. I do most of my videos on the fly so I occasionally use incorrect terms. I think
I’ve even referred to them as paradiddles before too 🧐
Totally cracked me up with that (sort of) Wilhelm scream "when you pull(ed) your finger off"
And damn! Already the few tutorials/walkthroughs for the MPC from you, were every time/consistently the best I could find on the subject I was looking for answers for.
Now I find out you're a sucker for D'nB/Jungle, like me. And why I even took to learning to use this amazing MPC thingy..
This part one of the serie has me for the better part of it completely torn between "I need to finish this video first, hold... hold.." - and "fuck yeah, I need to fire that thing up and get to work".
And that's after almost two months of feverishly grinding it out with that thing, exploring and learning, now for days on end finding myself in a terrible rut, not getting anywhere with anything. Boy how things can come around!
So a big thank you Tubedigga!
Showing us how to get rid of that damn 'click' at the end of the bass note was life changing brah! Thanks so much!
Thank you for teaching me some things!!!
this is so nice i'm gonna SUBSCRIBE twice . . . .
I'm in the market to get the MPC Key 6, How different might the work flow I'm seeing here in this video be, compared to the MPC Key, or are they more or less the same? Also the overall parameter tweaking on here, will this be the same on the newer MPC Key, or might the key lack some the abilities you're demonstrating here?
The workflow will be different (or at least influenced by) due to the physical differences between the machine, but the OS/firmware is exactly the same.
I love the distortion you showed there, works very well on techno kicks :)
Really helpful video. Thanks bro.
this format is great... just watching you use the MPC and seeing your flow, I’m learning stuff :) keep it up!
Man this so needed thanks 🙏🏾
Hey quick question! When I assign a sub to a new track just as you did, when I go back to the main page I have no audio but the vu meter spikes as if there's something there. In sample edit I do get audio playing the sub sample. I'm on sequence 1, track 2, program 003. Track 2 is set to key group. All the pads are lit yellow/red. I had this issue once 6 years ago when I had my prior mpc and can't remember how to correct it. I believe it's something simple!
@@ultrajayme I think I understand what you mean. If you have a track with a particular program assigned that you’ve programmed notes for (triggering that program), any other tracks which have that same program assigned will show activity. It’s showing you that program is being triggered somewhere in your project, which is helpful from a polyphony point of view. This is assuming you mean the meter on the main page channel strip which shows midi activity. It’s not a VU meter, it’s midi velocity (I think). Unless you have the MPC x and you’re talking about the actual VU meter to the right of the screen.
great tutorial, thanks for sharing these details lessons, but the "pull my finger off" bit really caught me off guard thanks for the ROFL and rewind giggle
Hey Meister Tdigga… so I’ve followed your amen master class… which is the first time I’ve edited a break like that before… how do I layer breaks without introducing phase issues? Probably a stupid question… I’ve used the mpc for a long old while but have only ever used 1 sequence one drum prog and just made lots of tracks to then use the pad mutes to then record segments to a daw… I know insert eye roll emoji here… I still get span out by the multiple programs thing…. I don’t want to use key groups or internal midi… any tips would be greatly accepted or what tutorials I should follow… nhs work payed for your tutorials so you’ll know who I am…. Hope you are most splendid dude… also I’m equally span out by the filing system… I just create an entire new tune each time I switch on so don’t have a filing system of banks of sounds… complete Luddite 🤦♂️
If layering two different breaks, to completely avoid phase issues it’s best to chop both breaks into the smallest size possible (usually/ideally 16th notes to include ghost notes/kicks/snares/rolls) and reconstruct them on the grid. That way you know they will both line up. If you don’t, there’s more chance they won’t perfectly line up due to small timing inconsistencies. If layering two or more of the same break, you’ll only get phase issues (as in phasing) if they are exactly the same pitch. So it depends on if you mean phase as in out of sync/misalignment or phasing as in two identical breaks creating that ‘phaser’ type of effect.
Proper intro speech. Subscribed lol
Thanks for the tutorial. Tried making dnb 20 years ago, but was sounding like s**t. One of these nights i will try your ideas
Awesome! Thanks and I really appreciate the time you spent on this.
I know this is a bit old but the word you're looking for is actually ghost note not side stick! 😊
OMG, thank you for this video, nice insight into making my beats better. currently they sound so flat and "BASIC"
I was wondering if you’re thinking of making an updated version of this or a paid course with the new (or any upcoming) firmware?
I already have a Masterclass available and although it contains some great information, it also needs updating. I do this free for any existing customers, so what you get now will only increase over time. I am holding off until 3.0 because I don’t want to make a load of content and it end up being outdated soon after. But as said the current course has plenty of useful material and I’ll have to increase the current price at some point.
@@TUBEDIGGA I appreciate the reply. I have already purchased one of your single course lessons, and plan on getting the full masterclass version soon. It makes sense to hold off until 3.0. Either way, this tutorial has tons of information as it is, so I’m glad you’ve left it up as I’m now comfortable enough to follow along through the whole thing. Thanks again!
Just found your channel, awesome tutorial thank you so much!
Sick tune great tutorial sir🔥
Wow real knowledge here, I will watch more tutorials of you.. Do make some techno too?
Yes sometimes. I have a techno video coming soon but for Maschine Plus. But I’ll do an MPC one at some point as well.
@@TUBEDIGGA would be great to see :)
Dude, I bought an MPC Live 2 a couple weeks ago without having any idea how to make beats; just knew I wanted to learn and really dig the portability of the Live 2. However, it didn’t take long to realize I was in over my head. This video was awesome and has convinced me to purchase your Akai MPC MasterClass. Only question I have though; do the videos go into step by step detail for the beginner?
Yes! Been looking for something like this.
did drum and bass artists use mpcs to make music back in the day too ? ? , artists like dilinja or Goldie etc ? ?it's So dope to have teachings on dnb and boom bap etc . , ,
I don’t think Goldie did, as far as I know he had his vision and mostly directed engineers and producers and I imagine most of them used computers. Possibly Dillinja but I’ve never heard that he was an MPC user. I think Roni Size or Krust may have used an MPC back in the day and others but I don’t know who exactly.
When you scroll through samples they play automatically but when I do it I have to manually play each , what scorcey is this ?
Thanks for the vids , big help man
There’s a button at the bottom of the browser labelled AUDITION, see it to AUTO. You can also adjust the preview duration in the PREFERENCES > GENERAL menu
@@TUBEDIGGA thanks so much , great info 👌😎😎😎
Great tutorial! How do you get the custom effects? In my MPC One I have only what I got out of the box from AIR and Akai...
What custom effects?
Thanks bro!
I think what you probably meant by little snare rolls when talking about side sticks are "ghost"/"grace" notes. Regarding the MPC as a daw, is there any significant recording latency - e.g. if recording a guitar whilst listening to playback. I don't mean from onboard effects processing which would be an issue with 'puter daw plugins anyway, but just recording the output from a guitar Amp sim into audio-in? I've always wanted one of these boxes - even before I knew what they did - and would like to escape the computer and mouse. Your one sequence workflow vid was very enticing. :)
Robert Brown Yes you’re right they’re ghost notes where the stick is bouncing off the skin, I’ve got in to a bad habit of calling them rolls, side sticks and even paradiddles! Not good! Regarding latency, no significant difference as far as I’ve experienced.
@@TUBEDIGGA OK, thanks.
Man, how many years of experience to be able to finger drum a jungle dnb pattern in seconds?
For those as skilless as I am, I took the time to slow this down and rewatch a zillion times... it's:
B H S H / H B H S / B H S B / H B H S
It sure looks like you did that by feel, brother. I am going to spend weeks just getting this pattern down pat... hopefully develop some feel of my own and be able to change it up.
Thank you
29:13 pure old school vibe👌
Nice vid explaining 👍🏻 do u know why my mpc isn’t playing out loud
You'd have to give me a lot more detail, it could be a many different things
@@TUBEDIGGA just no sound atall is comming out of it can only hear with headphones
@@lewisshipley9415 Sorry lewis but again, that is too vague - I can't troubleshoot an issue like that from such basic information. You'll need to check all your connections, track routings, mutes, volume knobs etc
Great love it
Brilliant!
Can I put a bass before the drum?
What do you mean?
Are you part MPC?...Now I need a Rave more than I did before.
lol! best comment bonus = +100 charisma and you get +10XP's
Nice :)
Ghost note!
Master 🔥T🔥
Part 3?
Coming today, been super busy with other stuff and got held up editing
Ghost beat ‘ sticken
kushty :)
stop giving out secrets
Why?
Tube Digga we don’t want them to no 😄
@@XBASS247 Who's we? Unless this is a joke? This is knowledge, my knowledge, not secrets, and knowledge is for sharing, unless you want to be a hypocrite whilst using the internet. I'm sat here completely comfortable that I can still make good tunes regardless of whether someone else can. I'm not intimidated by other producers and I'm not concerned with what they do, only what I can. And that's not ignorance, it's self confidence. I've shown some much better techniques in other videos and have no qualms about other people using them, they aren't me and the net result of them using my techniques doesn't make me concerned that I'll be surpassed somehow.
@@TUBEDIGGA 👍😎
