    yes agree 100% I actually stopped mixing and mastering my tracks in Ableton... I just found a way to do everything in the MPC (standalone and software) and I'm happier this way. I know some additional plugins could get me a cleaner sound but my mixing has improved so much just by not having to look at my pc screen during the process.

    I just cut a sample and loop it 3 times for 3 bars and then let sample play out from the 3rd bar to the 4th and it never really gets more complex then that. I might sometimes make several one minute beat loops using a different part of the sample and then add that all together.

    Sounds like a good approach. I normally jam around and then replicate the patterns I like within the hardware or just record the final piece as a one shot. But I'd like to experiment with the way you do it, I think it can sound more natural / improvised at times, although you need to spend more time in the daw re-listening to bits, glueing them together etc. Thanks for sharing!

      Whatever works for you, don't be forced into any ideological position on beatmaking, just be free and express yourself the way you want.

    That's a dope way man! When I record the complete beat i made on the mpc or on the sp404 or whatever is not a daw usually i record it on the sp404 with all the mute track and dynamics but I have to think about the arrangement before doing it and practice a lil bit cuz if i make a mistake or i don't like that record i have to try it again and again. Interesting approach man!

      Yeah that's what I do now, just relax and do it in a way that makes me not stress about the process.

    I like this approach, spent years not putting stuff out, because I thought it all had to be stemmed out and done properly! All the stuff I done on the fly was arranged better just wish I had spent more time mixing in my mpc. Do you use logics master clock and sync on the mpc so it’s easier to slice up in logic?
    Great video as usual!

      No I don't sync it, just a regular audio recording, but what you're saying makes sense and would help the process.

    We all do this differently sometimes I put it in the DAW most recently now in standalone arrangements,mix just a 2track then master in studio one

      I do a similar thing to him when recording My own synthesizer or other instrument, I just record Me playing around and jamming and then chop out what I like and then I'll make that into a track.

    You've earned a new subscriber lol. Question: how do you use these samples in your public releases? Do you pay for a license? Are they public domain/fair use? I also have a slew of records and love chopping them, but I'm reluctant to release them out of fear of the legal side of things.
