I love everything about this video. House on a MPC. Todd Terry, Kenny Dope, Louis Vega, Mood II Swing. Shuffling snares. The crossover of hip-hop and house in the 90s. 🔥
Class Mr. Conan! Please do more house stuff and other genres. I make lots of different stuff myself. Always learn something every visit to your channel, legend!!!
As kid I got into electronic music with the New Wave genre, then became a break dancer, I first got into Electro and Hip Hop in the mid 80's and marvelled and collected Hip Hop music. The electronic side, by the likes of Egyptian Lover, World Class Wrecking Crew, Newcleus, etc. I then went on to also DJ and went from DJing soul and Jazz Funk to House and Rave in the late 80's. After decades of being a DJ and collecting music, I have finally decided to make my own music and ordered and MPC One Plus. This was a fantastic and interesting video to watch and tips I will take onboard, thanks. Oh another great DJ and House music producer amongst the greats you mention is 'DJ Sneak', another a Snare Drum Riff King. Respect, peace and love!
It’s great hear you’re going to be making your own music man. You’ll have plenty of inspiration to draw from after all these years. Thank you for watching.
Nice mate! Nice to get a video to help try and branch out from boom bap. Boom bap is my favorite, but learning other genres only enhances skills. Thank you!.
Absolutely right. My Nice N Ripe records done some serious graft and are in a bit of a state TBF.... I really must get some replacements asap. Dansa records, Danny Taurus, Raze of PLeasure ...... OOOoF!
Murk/Liberty City were right up there for me too. DIY/Smokescreen sound systems were my House Music university & I am forever grateful. Loved the vid...... Thank you very much.
I'm using the Sand Pad in my latest sequence I started yesterday with a few tweaks to the decay and release to make it a bit more plucky to start behind a filter. I've gone D# Minor and she's dark as they come. Great content Conan loved the swing on hats tip that's epic for House. As always sterling content. 🙏
Just a heads up. Found the video on the homepage. I'm at work so I couldn't watch it right away. After manually searching for it in the videos tab of your channel it's not showing up. Shows up in the subscriptions though.
@@TheCratesMotel Sometimes it happens. I always thought it was "youtuber" conspiracy talk to get more engagement but it's true. But I checked again and now it's showing up like it's supposed to.
@@TheCratesMotel hey, I’m by no means in charge of what you post, but I would love more 90s deep house videos. Also your mixing videos are terrific, just what I’ve been looking for
theres nothing more satisfying than watching someone who's at the top of their game make something look so easy, any chance you could do a 140bpm rave breaks vid
That beat became very groovy , thanks man. That swing and the the acoustic kicks layerd on 909 is a great tip , its very subtle but goes a long way. I dont like to use hi hat loops from splice , then i would have the feeling i did not make the track 100% myself. Only way i use loops is to flip them or chop it like drums
Thank you for sharing youre knowlegde! Would be super interesting to See you Making a full house song start to finish. I think there is Not enough content about arranging and structuring Songs. I find its way More difficult than creating a nice loop.
@@TheCratesMotel appreciate the reply, I really am stuck between MPC Live II or the maschine+ I watched 8+ hours of reviews yesterday. What would you say is best for me if I want to make house music where I can play live and it's easy to edit and take a kick or chord out for example live like the DJs 1000 pioneer standalone sampler, the workflow that's easy to use and access and not too complicated to look at. I want something that helps with chord progressions that automatically tell me what's in key and the right scale. I had the Aki midi keyboard and I found it hard to link up channels and buttons etc from that the MPC software to pads etc and it scared me away from using it... you'd help me massively here thank you!
@@jaxhulme Hey mate, honestly I cannot speak for Maschine. I haven't used it since version 1 around 2012, so I have no idea how things are with it now. I can speak for the MPC though and I think it would be able to do anything you would want to do with it in standalone, especially for House music. Using Mutes etc is perfect fo live sets. It has the ability to work out keys etc and can help with chord progressions. I would imagine Maschine can do all of this as well, so I would think it probably mostly has to do with which one you prefer in terms of workflow and form factor. As I said, I haven't used Maschine in years, so it would be unfair for me to compare them and I am not the kind of person who compares something unless I have used it extensively. From a personal perspective, I have used the MPC for 35 years now and I love it, especially for House.
Do you build your whole production on the MPC or do you send it to a DAW once you’ve built the beat ? If so do you send the stems or what ? Thanks mate,this is a class video
To be honest, it depends. Sometimes I’ll do everything in the MPC, with the arrangement and then track out to my DAW. I might do a little mixing in the MPC, again it depends, but generally I will mix in my DAW. Most of the time I will write my drums in the MPC and everything else in my DAW. I have my MPC connected via MIDI to sync with my DAW but not in controller mode. It’s in standalone but synced to start and stop with my DAW. I only put it in controller mode to track out the multis. I sketch a lot in the MPC as well just to get myself away from a monitor, keyboard and mouse. Change the scenery, if you get what I mean. It helps my creativity.
Hey buddy, there is. Its ‘in the style of” but not identical. If you check my video on “Which EQ” in the MPC I go into more detail. Thank you for watching.
I’m not 100% mate because I’ve updated since then, but most likely 2.11 or 2.12. Going forward I will ensure I make a note of the firmware in the description for reference. Good shout.
Yeh I use 16T a lot myself. Todd Terry uses it tons. It sounds great. You get that nice shuffle swing. Great on hats and snares. The great thing about the MPC is that it is so easy to try 16T and if you don't like it, go back to 16.
Superb!!! Started off with a S2800 back in the early 90’s had a few releases, moved to a full software set up and the creativity just seemed to die…. Got my creative juices fired up again watching this!!! Think the MPC ONE + will be on the cards!!! Question…if you wanted to launch different sections of that beat you created, I guess you would need to record them across separate tracks…..?? More House content when you can!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👍🏻🫡

Yes of course. Too many to name.
Class is in. Thanks for sharing. This guy is the real deal.

You’re welcome dude. Yeh Hip Hop is my roots, but I love my house. I like to think I program House in a Hip Hop way.
Grant Nelson was an absolute wizard at this kind of thing. One of my biggest influences for house drums.

Excellent. This is just what I needed!!
Thanks dude
the man delivered!!! fair play!!!

Hell yeah. I love making house music on my mpc. I gotta get more comfortable with arranging on the MPC though. I still like writing house loops though
Thanks for watching dude. 🙏🏼

This makes me want to get the MPC out of the closet again! ❤
DO it dude. I stopped using the MPC from 2004 until 2022. I am so glad I picked it up again.
@@TheCratesMotel has only been a few months for me 🤣
Top draw!
Thanks dude
I don’t have a mpc but great tips on how you create house tunes! Thanks for this
You’re welcome dude. A lot of the techniques here can obviously be translated to DAWs and other sequencing hardware.
I'm a hiphop guy but just made a house sequence on the mpc I like to layer my 909 with an acoustic kick too
Yeh man. Acoustic kick over a 909 is probably on every track I’ve ever released. It’s the way.
We need more videos mate 🙌🏼 maybe building a loop and then showing your workflow of taking it out of the loop into a structured track 🙏🏼
Hey dude, yes noted. I’ve just been nutty busy with mastering for clients. Definitely aiming to do more videos as described. Thank you for watching.
Excellent post, big ups to the early 90’s
🙏🏼🙏🏼
bro I can't tell off of 2 videos that im gonna love your channel! keep it up man so many good tips

it would be the breakbeat/breaks programming side of it more than anything @@TheCratesMotel 🤞
Ah ok. I am just not used to having the BPM so fast haha. Yeh I will be doing a few videos on breaks etc definitely @@originaljungle

So sick! Thanks for the wisdom 🧠🙏
