I LOVE your music first and foremost. That you do it all on the MPC is both inspiring and a reminder that I do not need new gear, I should just use what I have (which is already too much!)
Thank you for taking the time to write that, it means a lot! 🙏 And yeah, I think we all need that reminder that it's about the time you spend with your gear that makes the difference, not the amount of gear you own (in fact, to me, there is an inverse correlation between my productivity and the amount of gear I own!). I'm just the same though and I'm currently looking at the Minifreak Stellar or a proper midi keyboard. The former I really don't need, but the latter I could justify because I miss playing on real keys. But it's still just GAS isn't it. 😂
Traded my SP404Mk2 for an MPC One+ today. I specifically looked for your guys' videos as inspiration because I loved your first MPC video so much a few months back. Really excited to get the most out of this thing.
@@remyvegamedia Hey, I really appreciate you taking the time to write that, thank you! And wow, that is an amazing trade if you ask me. You'll have so much fun with the MPC! We have a couple of more MPC jams that are already recorded, one will go out next week. And then we have about ten more in the pipeline. We just can't stop making music on the MPC. Review "vs Push 3" also coming up before the end of the year. 🙏 Have a great weekend!
@@sinewaymusic Dope! I'm really looking forward to all of that. Especially interested in the comparison to Push 3! I think some day I'll get a Push 3, but the price is just too high haha. Super hyped to get back on the MPC. I look forward to seeing/hearing what you put out!
@@FunkyHP Really appreciate it! The synth engines are fantastic and I used to think they were not. I'm liking the MPC more the more we use it. Thanks for listening!
I love the Air Delay Pro, it can generate some really unique effects. The Jura is still on my shopping list, it's quite expensive though. As for the Air Soft Clipper, if you watch the reviews there's actually quite some debate about what it uniquely does.
Appreciate your input on this! And I largely agree. Air Delay Pro really surprised me, it has turned delays into a form of creative expression all of a sudden. The auto-clear really helped with the lead in this song, and the wobble/modulation is what contributed to the lo-fi vibe of the intro/outtro. The Jura is our favorite synth at the moment. It just sounds so darn good and the built-in reverb is simply amazing. I agree it's not a bargain but the amount of time we spend with it easily justifies the price tag to me at least because it made me stop complaining about what the MPC was lacking. It sometimes goes on sale so perhaps you could hold out until Black Friday or something? But if you are buying it sooner, we'd obviously love it if you used *our* affiliate link and not someone else's. 😘😂🙏 About the Soft Clipper, I really like that it gives me a visual of the in/out levels and that it just sounds so smooth at a reasonable drive level. I feel the Diode Clip colors the sound more. But it's splitting hairs and I agree this isn't a plugin you necessarily *need*. But it's interestingly the one paid plugin we use the most to keep peaks in check. It has made our mixes better and is in large part what made it possible for us to mix this song entirely on the MPC. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts on this and for listening to our music!
Thanks John! That's the beauty of this workflow with the MPC: you don't need an external recorder. What we do is we have the overall song structure defined already (as in which sequence/pattern to play and how many times they play) using Song Mode. This is very similar to the process on the Syntakt. We then use the "convert song to sequence" command to create one longer sequence. That is then the base plate on which we jam over. The next step is to hit Over Dub and arm automation and then hit Play Start. From there on, anything you do will get recorded into this new sequence: pads you hit live, knobs you twist (be sure to use Project mode for the q-links so you can define what each of the 4x4 knobs do), and tracks and pads you mute/unmute. Once you are done jamming, you just press Stop and now you have a sequence that you can play back with all the things you did recorded as automation lanes. You could even record an audio track while doing this if, say, you had an external synth that you were also jamming on. Since the MPC has an audio interface with two stereo in pairs, you could even hook up two devices if you wanted to. We're not that advanced and I personally enjoy working with just one piece of gear at a time. Hope this explains it!
@@mmacult5336 Hey, appreciate the feedback! You're probably right, but we wanted to have some contrast to the otherwise cinematic feeling. I'm tempted to give your suggestion a try now, though. 😊
I hope you make a living from music, because this is simply perfect! 🥰
@@primarqo Wow, thanks a lot! But unfortunately no, at least not yet. 😊 🙏❤️
@@sinewaymusic I wish you the best of luck in making it happen and continuing to create beautiful music! 🤗
@@primarqo Thank you! Maybe one day. 😊 🌟

Great for showcasing MPC
@@nicholasbalette6354 Appreciate it! 🙏
top , no words. best mpc video ever. Vangelis would be proud of this piece
Wow, thank you for that compliment!! ❤️
Love the composition and how the intro and outtro tie it all together. Well done!
@@triphopper21 Thanks for listening to it until the end! ❤️
Amazing. Thank you for sharing.
@@MarcusEDM Thank you, really appreciate the feedback! 🙏🌟
This is my favorite music you made the start and the ending is so good with the violin and I like how it's so strong 5/5
Love you! ❤
very cinematic sounding - brilliant - MPC can cover all sorts of genre.
@@cresshead Thank you! Indeed, it's incredibly versatile. And lots of fun I'd add!
This is fire. Beautifully shot too. 👏👏
@@eternal-tremolo Appreciate it, thanks! 🙏
Fantastic! This jam is a perfect showcase of what could be done on the MPC platform with it’s multiple synth engines. Great work, man!!!!
@@FunkyHP Really appreciate it! The synth engines are fantastic and I used to think they were not. I'm liking the MPC more the more we use it. Thanks for listening!
🔥🔥🔥
@@SergeyCoder Thanks!! 🌟
Great to see someone using their MPC like me for live synthesis. Well played on the location too 🙏
@@ONDAmpc The synthesis side of the MPC just keeps getting better and better. The Jura synth filled a huge gap for us and it's a joy to use. 😊
@@sinewaymusic Mini-D changed my perspective. You on IG? My tutorials and Vibes are on my main account this is for lurking 😂
3:10 is my favorite part
🙏❤️❤️

Great, if you want, take a trip to my area too
@@MrFabiusynth Thanks! What area would that be? 😊
Fantastic track! How did you record it? I need to use external recorder when playing live.

@@sinewaymusic oh wow, never thought about recording automation for an entire project. Thanks! Appreciate the detailed reply as well. Kudos!
i would change the drumkit for more cinematic and less ,,urban drum,, sounds. would fit better
