Really nice beat! Never really seen the MPC up close and personal in beat making. Nice to see videos like this. Look forward to more...and with the SP555!
Hey man, I use my iPhone XR to film all my videos. I do also have a gopro that I've used a bit in the past - might start using that more in the future as well
Yo man hard to say really. Maschine do some nice gear thats quite affordable and links nicely with your computer which is good for starting out. I'd say just go with what you like the look of, do a bit of research around it and see if it works for you! Theres youtube vids for everything now so its pretty easy to get an idea of how something works before buying. Hope that helps!
Good idea man yeah i've been thinking about how I can do it, maybe use my gopro on the screen or just film a separate little piece of footage when I want to talk about the screen! Thanks
Dope ! I always wanted an MPC 2kxl. Thought about getting one instead of the push 2 but ended up going push 2 since it connects with my PC / Ableton. How do you find the workflow compared to the SP? Was it cumbersome to learn ? Definitely still have my eyes on these. Excited to see more MPC vids !
Yeah fair man, i've got a push 1 but I hardly use it to be honest. I already know my way around the mpc so it was pretty quick to learn although there are a few things I'm still scratching my head on. Will need to have a skim through the manual!
Hey man I just got an og 404 and the 2KXL, hopefully you can help me figure something out. It looks like you have 1/4th adapters in the Stereo Out of the MPC with an RCA going into the SP 404 Line In, is that correct? I want to start sampling from my turntable but I don't have that fancy one you use with the built-in preamp, so I'm guessing I'd probably need to get a DJ mixer to bring the records up to line level at the very least? Would you sample into the 404 first or the MPC? I feel like sequencing would be easier on the MPC and then you'd use the 404 to add FX before sending it back through the MPC.
Yeah your turntable will need an amp otherwise you wont get a good signal. I make my beat on the 2000XL then use the outputs to go into the back of the SP yeah, you need external source button lit as well. You could do it the otherway around as well as you sample into the MPC so that it has FX already on the samples and then just build the beat on that!
@@spvidz Don't mention it bro, I hooked into ur vids since i heard ur bill evans sampling video. Im a hiphop producer too and ur work is very inspiring. Thx 4 those priceless beats.
@@spvidz sweet man, pleased for you! I kopped a 404SX a couple of days back, only one I could find in the UK so just getting to grips with that. 2KXL is the next venture!
@@spvidz I think the sd kit is quite expensive man, you can only read upto 1gb with the cf card even with 2, 4 or 8gb cards. I use the SanDisk ultra 1.0 and its really reliable now. not sure if it will be different with sd cards. you also need the 1.2 operating system installed first before swapping out the floppy drive.
Fair man, so valid points there! Maybe the CF card is the way to go then, ive already got a few as well. Had seen you have to update the software as well yeah
sorry man really not sure what you mean? I tend to decide on a tempo before I get the samples then work the sample/chops to fit - sometimes I need to adjust a bit but can usually get things to work.

@@spvidz i meant when you find a sample as discover the tempo do you save as it before using it in a program. For example; if I find the bpm of a sample in the sequence and it plays perfectly after i just chopped it would it be good to save the new tempo as it is, if you understand what I am saying?
Was having a play with it over the weekend, I find the workflow incredibly slow but I will try and get some more content out around it. I would like to do more 'how to's' on this machine for sure!
From the 404 to the MPC do you mean? You can use it for drums and for samples too then record them into the MPC for sequencing. Yeah the floppy discs aren’t great. Might upgrade to SD at some point
"Yo, guys! Welc-"
*punches like button*
Ma man! 🙌🙌🙌
Wow!! Your 2000XL looks factory brand new. The combination with the SP404 seems to be a winning one. Looking forward to more videos
Yeah man definitely got a good one. Its immaculate! Thanks for watching
Amazing vid! Loved the beat. My sp404sx arrived today. Im beeing up all night playing with it!
Nice man. Yeah it’s super addictive. Hope you get to grips with it quick 👌
Really nice beat! Never really seen the MPC up close and personal in beat making. Nice to see videos like this. Look forward to more...and with the SP555!
Nice one man! Plenty more coming for sure. 555 will be next up 👍
SUNDAYNIGHTCOFFEE!!
Great context as usual. Excited about this 2000XL series really looking forward to it.
Nice one man appreciate it. I'm looking forward to it as well!
nice work sir
Yo VSB! Thanks for watching :)
First off love the new drum machine always a classic and it was great to see. Was wonder what lens your using in your vids, thanks in advance
Hey man, I use my iPhone XR to film all my videos. I do also have a gopro that I've used a bit in the past - might start using that more in the future as well
@@spvidz it's true when they say when you have a vision nothin will stop you this proves that. You did a fire job and continue thanks bro stay up
@@chasetheconnect8252 Appreciate that man thanks a lot!
Damn! Can't wait for some more mpcvidz!!!
Definitely plenty more coming! Thanks for watching man :)
Awesome !!! Simple and dope man. Excited for more of your MP and Sp combo work
Also, a wide angle attachment lens might solve your issue
Cheers man yeah can't wait to make more content already! Thanks for watching
Great to See You on the MPC2000xl so soon after the purchase. Love the kick! I plan on dropping a basic MC-808 how to sample video soon too.
Cheers man! Hope the video goes well
Nice video bro! so good to see thoose two samplers working together
Nice one man! Yeah can't wait to keep working with these two and see what they can do! Thanks for watching
So good man! Boom Bap!! Love this man!
Appreciate it man thank you!
Sounds awesome man! Keep rockin that 2kXL - that an the 404 is my favorite combo!!
Cheers man yeah these two are a killer combo for sure. Looking forward to making more beats. Thanks for watching
Bro I love these explanation videos
Awesome man. Good to know. Thanks for watching!
Its so fucking cool to see the mpc2000xl and sp404sx combo. I bought both the machines few months ago and don't regret it at all.
Nice man yeah that’s the first time I’ve set them up together - can’t wait to get making more beats with them!
That drum loop reminds me of “Nas is Like”
Ah yeah definitely man yeah, very similar vibe! Thanks for watching :)
Dope beat and setup!! Saying up for some hardware, what beat machines would you recommend for someone starting out ?
Yo man hard to say really. Maschine do some nice gear thats quite affordable and links nicely with your computer which is good for starting out.

Do you think you’ll do a lot of processing in the SP and moving that processed material into the 2KXL? Dope beat by the way
Yeah i'll definitely do lots of 'pre-processing' with the SP and then sequence in the XL! Thanks for watching man glad you liked the beat
Love your videos man. Just a tip though, it'd be nice if the screen on the MPC was flattened so we could see it on camera. Keep these coming!
Good idea man yeah i've been thinking about how I can do it, maybe use my gopro on the screen or just film a separate little piece of footage when I want to talk about the screen! Thanks
Those samples are fire 🔥🔥 damn
Thanks man, appreciate it! Love downpitching on the MPC!

Next to the banks there is a track mute button, you'll find it quicker than manually turning on/off tracks
Ah nice one man, still trying to get back in the flow of the MPC! Will look out for it next time! thanks for the tip
@@spvidz No worries, good luck with it, 2KXL are so good
where did you get the mpc 2000xl, i want to buy it but i don't know where 😕
I got it off eBay
How the EFF did you get one of these in the UK? I've been searching for months 💔 sick vid, as usual!
Thanks man! Yeah got lucky. There were a couple on eBay and I bid quite a lot for this one as it looked in good condition. Definitely been worth it 👍
@@spvidz sweet man, pleased for you! I kopped a 404SX a couple of days back, only one I could find in the UK so just getting to grips with that. 2KXL is the next venture!
@@bhavthaker nice one man! yeah the SX is becoming more rare now the A has come out.
m exact collaboration-Respect bro
Nice one man thanks for watching
More 2kxl videos🙏🏼
Definitely more coming man!
how do you route the xl to the roland
Just a phono cable out the back of the MPC and into the SP
SPVIDZ!!
Does that mpc have velocity sensitive pads ?
It does yeah
You'll be needing a cf reader man, you can get the startech in the UK, cost me £25.
Nice one man, any reason for getting CF and not SD?
@@spvidz I think the sd kit is quite expensive man, you can only read upto 1gb with the cf card even with 2, 4 or 8gb cards. I use the SanDisk ultra 1.0 and its really reliable now. not sure if it will be different with sd cards. you also need the 1.2 operating system installed first before swapping out the floppy drive.

That 2000xl is in absolutely cherry condish 😎🍒
Yeah man really happy with it, looks amazing! Thanks for watching
I know it's nowhere near as cool but this makes me want to break my MPC 500 back out.
don't worry about that man, get it out and lay down some heat!
To quote someone else the 2000XL is like an old trusty truck and the 500 is more like a motorcycle. Go and zip through the traffic lol
I guess I gotta buy an MPC2000xl, too xD
haha do it! Thanks for watching man
bro put more of the songs you produce, without explanation the videos are good but I think if u just posted the beats
you man you mean just post the beats on their own? I tend to stick to soundcloud etc for that but if people wanna see it I can do that too man yeah!
spvidz for the people man 🙏🏼
Love the beat yo, my 2000xl will be here next week so we’re in this together 😂😂
Haha Appreciate that man and that’s awesome! Happy best making 🔥
Hey when you find a sample tempo in the sequence do you set the tempo to new?
sorry man really not sure what you mean? I tend to decide on a tempo before I get the samples then work the sample/chops to fit - sometimes I need to adjust a bit but can usually get things to work.

🔥🔥🔥
Thanks for watching man!
Damn the mp is something else! where'd you cop it?
Yeah man so happy with it! Got it off ebay (UK)
spvidz I’m UK based as well! Did you have to use an adapter or was it a UK plug as well?
Ah nice man. it didn't come with a power supply that was the only downside so I'm just using a kettle plug i had lying around :)
spicey
Cheers man!
Grimy
Nice one. Thanks for watching!
more 2000xl videos!! just got mine the other day and have been scratching my head on where to begin or what to do
Was having a play with it over the weekend, I find the workflow incredibly slow but I will try and get some more content out around it. I would like to do more 'how to's' on this machine for sure!
do you ever sample drums from your 404? i really want to get one but the idea of floppy disks stresses me out hahah
From the 404 to the MPC do you mean? You can use it for drums and for samples too then record them into the MPC for sequencing. Yeah the floppy discs aren’t great. Might upgrade to SD at some point
