Would love to see the difference between the dry signal and the sound after being processed on that lovely equipment! Keep it up with this awesome content ;)
Thanks Ave, records are always a great way to listen to music. And just that connection to the artist that we got back in the days of no internet, I gotta preserve that.
@@devondetroit2529 I used to run my Ambient tracks through just a Cheap VCR player with a blank tape that I got from Goodwill. This was years ago and don’t remember exactly how I recorded onto it
A video on your record collection woud be great, particularly showing stuff you listen to without the intent to sample, just to chill. As always, great videos!
Great video! Loved the tour! Have you looked at the Juno 106/60? Really warm sounds and fits perfectly to your style imo. It can be a little expensive though. Thanks for the content as always!
So glad you got the Argon8! Would be nice to see a comparison of your beats pre mastered and then mastered with your process. Thanks for another great video
Great tour! I appreciate the detail and process flow you provide about each piece. Btw, I got that same small keyboard you got in the background! There is some unique sounds coming out of that! You always got the dope vids!
Thank you for the tour if the studio, hermano. Loved the studio! When are you going to post the video of the "J Dilla beat making process?" Thank you again for the the tour. God Bless you!
I’ve taken time off of my studio but I Love the Tegelar Audio gears… I highly recommend not to get caught up in gear… I’m over $100K in on my studio and it is just a hobby…
first of all. really appreciate your content! thanks a lot man, youre doing an amazing job. concerning this video: when you where talking about the transient shaper function of your compressor. I was really waiting to see the thing and to see what kind of different "shaping" options it offers. when the camera went into zoom modus I really had to laugh hard, cause I am german and it just gives you three different options which are german words for different kind of metal stuff, metal elements. im not even sure what the right english term for that is. but yeah I like the terms they are using for those settings. and again: thanks a lot for your content, keep it up!
and one other thing: do you use the Heritage Audio M/S EQ pre-MPC or only in your mixdown? cause Im always thinking about how far you can shape, say a sample from a jazz record before you flip it. also thinking of multiband compression and stuff. trying to use those samples like you would use multi track recordings but i never really put time into this.
Awesome as always. Great Setup! How do you feel about MPC One as a starter MPC? Seems like a steal at $600. Bought a 2000XL, but sold it a week later-couldnt deal with the small screen and the slow 15 year old interface to get a simple sample done - so I decided it wouldnt be worth my time. I have Sp-404sx, 303, 555, love them all, and the workflow is a breeze.
Are going to do one of your process? From sample to mixing (with exporting and troubleshooting)? I know you have a lot of beatmaking videos,but I'm very curious about the next steps,like DAWs or programs used after making the beat in the MPC or any other device. Thanks and keep it up
2 yr old video but my biggest tip is don't get too focused on the gear and start making music. I know very well how easy it is to fall in the "gear trap".
I love mine. Feels like it's made out of spare parts of a battleship. It's stury & heavy. Great keybed. If I want another synth I'll just get the module and midi control them with the argon8x. If you have an Argon8 I recommend getting a Strymon Nightsky (it sounds like a million bucks)
Hello. Its a kind of weird i would choose a setup similar to yours. I have seen two o three of your videos, and would see more. I like hardware for me are 'chiches' o pieces of decoration and to use. I like anyway computers, having screens to work. I was making since 14 with machinew but stopped at 22, i got sick, then i comeback with a guitar, yeah im going to take some pieces from your setup. Good work i enjoy it a lot. Keep going.
@@mpchead Yeah, I only watched videos of it, but love the sound. 8 voices is tough - but people are making beats w it, so there has to be a good workflow. Maybe I'll just use Decapitator on tracks. It's a lot cheaper than $1,500 lol.
@@mpchead Cool cool I’m Investing into a SSL fusion and I’m running everything into lol Even my oldest beats off my mpc 2500 just running into a old digi 003 into Protools sounded way more full and fatter than how I do now exporting my stems from the x into pro tools… I tell people all the time it’s a difference and a preference.Most kids don’t give a rats ass but I do I love fatness and warmth in my production… Btw you dope dope bro I enjoy it watching your videos…
Marlow, I appreciate the tour of your studio. I’ve been watching your recent content and noticed that you’re also using the MPC Live 2. How does the Live 2 play a role with your music creation? I’m thinking of either getting the MPC X or the Live 2 but leaning more towards the Live 2 because of the portability. Do you plan to stick with the Live 2? Thanks again for the knowledge and the music.
Yes at this point I prefer the Live 2. The portability is such an amazing thing. The X as tones of control but the Qlinks don't work sometimes, it is really annoying. The X has more I/O but you can hook up an external usb interface to the live and have more I/O.
Thanks as well I have the X and been really thirsting for the live the X is amazing but I just can’t be comfortable for hours always reaching for controls I’m thinking I’ll prefer the interaction of it being in my lap
Yes I don't have those anymore, I wasn't using them. The Live and the monitors are sitting next to the window with my laptop. Not so much part of the beatmaking process now, that's why I didn't include them.
The sound of the X is great its just sterile. Too clean. But you can think its like a clean canvas you can add color to it as mutch as you like. You cant take color away though like old samplers have if you need a cleaner sound.
Marlow I'm new to all this. I told you before I have a Isla S2400 on the way. Where do i start with the Analogue rack you've got going. I would like to add drive and compression and warmth and all but haven't a clue where to start. Cheers.
@@mpchead boa dica. Eu uso pincel mas é como dizes, sai de um lado vai para outro. Então faço o hack com aspirador, ao mesmo tempo das pinceladas no pó tb aspiro 😅 vou investir no duster 🙏👊🏼 recebi o mail do "come home" está a caminho 🔥🔥🔥
@@mpchead Thank Marlow! I do have one more question! Do you ever get any kickback from TH-cam when you sample vinyl in your videos? Copyrights or anything?
Dude keep that argon! I have one too. Just listen to the sine wave as a sub it's so tight deep and defined. Also tip just mix 2 osc together using a standard saw/square/sine for the body of the sound and use a wavetable on the 2nd to define a unique top end which you can't get from standard waves. I have next to my ms20 and it really holds it's own as a warm powerful synth. You won't find much better in digital. Keep the fuck out of it.
Also the sub sine is amazing on the Modal skulpt as well, just watch the beginning of the sonic state review here on youtube. Its one of the first things he tests

Man! I really love your collection. Makes me want to step my game up big time!
Thanks Ave, records are always a great way to listen to music. And just that connection to the artist that we got back in the days of no internet, I gotta preserve that.
Paradise!!
Yes :) it's taking shape
VHS is underrated it’s like a beefy cassette sound, nice set up
@@devondetroit2529 I used to run my Ambient tracks through just a Cheap VCR player with a blank tape that I got from Goodwill. This was years ago and don’t remember exactly how I recorded onto it
love that you stick with analog, the sound is warm
Yes, definitely more videos about processing, eq, compressor and all cable management, etc. Thanks, this was a nice video.
I think you should do a talk on what vinyl records you have used the mosts.
video came out as soon as i got a studio. thanks for the insight my g!
Nice tour and setup M 🔥 keep up the awesome work! 👊🏻
Thanks Bro 👊🏼
I feel nostalgic when I see an mpc
Very dope Marlow! It will be dope to see how your studio progresses over the years.
Yeah, I am curious to know my future me
Nice and simple setup. Perfect
A video on your record collection woud be great, particularly showing stuff you listen to without the intent to sample, just to chill. As always, great videos!
Thanks for the ideas, will do it in the future
Please give us a very extensive demo of the heritage symph eq!! 🙏🙏🙏
I'm very curious to hear how it sounds!!
Loved it! I use a Soundcraft Signature analog mixer which acts as a front end to my Mpc. Same idea as the Heat... it adds analog flavor.
Thanks for this tour, it's very interesting to see houw you "think" the sound of your music through different equipment.
A classic vibe!
Dope studio g ⚙️
I really like your Studio and the gear you have. I work dawlesss and i appreciate it , that i'm not alone😊.
Kool setup I have a lot of parts in my studio I'll be uploading soon
Keep em coming
Great video! Loved the tour! Have you looked at the Juno 106/60? Really warm sounds and fits perfectly to your style imo. It can be a little expensive though. Thanks for the content as always!
Juno sounds great, it would fit really well in my sound
Thanks!
Going in on the dusters! Good content G
don't trust these cheap brands, go for the real deal 😂
So glad you got the Argon8! Would be nice to see a comparison of your beats pre mastered and then mastered with your process. Thanks for another great video
I thought about doing a video about that, maybe!
@@mpchead yes do it !
Nice tip with the Elektron!
love your content man
Thanks Andy, appreciate it
Great video man !!! LONG LIVE BOOM BAP !!!
Thanks for the tour man!!
Great tour! I appreciate the detail and process flow you provide about each piece. Btw, I got that same small keyboard you got in the background! There is some unique sounds coming out of that! You always got the dope vids!
I love old keyboards, always dope sounds to find and sample.
Nice setup very kool
Nice! My set up is super minimal but one thing I lack is a brain.
:D
Thank you for the tour if the studio, hermano. Loved the studio! When are you going to post the video of the "J Dilla beat making process?" Thank you again for the the tour. God Bless you!
I didn't upload it because I idiotically deleted it by mistake, along with a bunch of stuff I had on my desktop. sorry
@@mpchead That's alright, hermano. Things like that happen. Bendiciones!
Very nice, man. Cool that you got the Argon, I recently got their Cobalt 8 which I’m learning and loving so far.
Great vid
Thanks for this video
Killer studio
🙏🏼
Great tour man, allot of dope stuff i wish i had. Bless
Awesome stuff dude 👍🏻
I’ve taken time off of my studio but I Love the Tegelar Audio gears… I highly recommend not to get caught up in gear… I’m over $100K in on my studio and it is just a hobby…
I'll try to keep my setup at a minimum, I am happy where it is right now. Thanks
You just motivated me, to get more gear, Im 40k in. Its my hobby and I love it.

Really nice setup M!
Off your video i have just bought The Heat a Compressor and an Equalizer.
Damn, a great DAWless setup!! You lost me with the Heritage gear! 🤣 🙏🏽
Dope setup 🔥
good demo
Would be nice to hear some before/after examples with your Elektron Heat
I have a bit here th-cam.com/video/tmTGlFZXwGA/w-d-xo.html but I'll do another in the future with all the analog gear.
Bro, your XL looks pristine 👀 👌
the buttons are a bit fukd up, have to clean them up.
Dope studio! I always thought, that you had mpc x connected to your laptop/PC. Cheers!
Sometimes I connect it to do some work but it usually is standalone for beatmaking
😤 my dream room
Awesome gear!
Thanks 🙏🏼

I think it is the best priced mpc, does everything you need, definitely recommend for everyone.

There's nothing, just a Limiter in Logic to push the audio up a bit more.
@@mpchead wow... was gonna ask this same thing. Cool!
2 yr old video but my biggest tip is don't get too focused on the gear and start making music. I know very well how easy it is to fall in the "gear trap".
Very true
The Modal Argon is a beast...Don't sell bro you'll regret it. The wavetable modulations and Fx quality are worth it alone
It's staying
I love mine. Feels like it's made out of spare parts of a battleship. It's stury & heavy. Great keybed. If I want another synth I'll just get the module and midi control them with the argon8x. If you have an Argon8 I recommend getting a Strymon Nightsky (it sounds like a million bucks)
Have you done a sound design tutorial for subtractive synthesis? I need that 🤔😏
No yet no but I might not be the best at that, plenty of great synth channels on youtube
Awesome studio tour, I love the hat 😉
Fits nice, it is a good looking hat
cool studio... the beat at 3:50... Is the sample from the game Disco Elysium?? The trumpet...
That's Otis Redding
@@mpchead thanks... it's so close...

Cool studio! 🙌
I mostly work with headphones, but I have my Adam t7v next to my laptop.
Nice studio set up bro, what happen to the Akai Force?
I traded it for the Analog Heat
I like 👍

Plan on adding the Isla 2400?
Not really, but everyone says it sounds great and so maybe, but only 8 voice polyphony always makes me rethink it.
@@mpchead Yeah, I only watched videos of it, but love the sound. 8 voices is tough - but people are making beats w it, so there has to be a good workflow. Maybe I'll just use Decapitator on tracks. It's a lot cheaper than $1,500 lol.
Can you tell what audio monitors you use, if any? Thanks for the vid, will look into setup improvement thanks to you 🔥
I have the Adam T7V
Lmao, dust brush is the most important piece of the studio xD I need to get one too (using cloth right now), hate when my gear is dusty. Peace!
😂 You have to, a must have in any studio
Dope laboratory
So you don’t use a computer at all to mix or master?I love that
Keep them coming bro
Everything is done in the Mpc and outboard gear. The only thing is a limiter in Logic where I record my beats to.
@@mpchead Cool cool I’m
Investing into a SSL fusion and I’m running everything into lol
Even my oldest beats off my mpc 2500 just running into a old digi 003 into Protools sounded way more full and fatter than how I do now exporting my stems from the x into pro tools…
I tell people all the time it’s a difference and a preference.Most kids don’t give a rats ass but I do I love fatness and warmth in my production…
Btw you dope dope bro I enjoy it watching your videos…
Hey was up Marlow love your channel but do you knw how to make a drum fill on the mpc one or x ?
I don't do much drum fills tbh
why you don't make beatmaking videos using your mpc500 ?
I don't have one, the one I had was borrowed from a friend.

good vid tho so u got rid of he force, touch and the sp404? also thought u was gonna include the live and the studio monitors
Yes I don't have those anymore, I wasn't using them. The Live and the monitors are sitting next to the window with my laptop. Not so much part of the beatmaking process now, that's why I didn't include them.
would be good to see a vid on how the different outboard alters the sound of the beat as it goes into to each unit
was just about to write the same thing
What happened to the mpc live2?
Still in the studio, still working with it.
Have you still got the Mpc Touch ? I have the Matrix on VHS if you want to sample it.
I need to get that, Matrix has so many samples. I don't have the touch anymore.
I saw one on eBay from Portugal and thought of you, lol.
Are you the broth from Snare Jordan?
The sound of the X is great its just sterile. Too clean. But you can think its like a clean canvas you can add color to it as mutch as you like. You cant take color away though like old samplers have if you need a cleaner sound.

You know the new mpc machines the x one and live stand-alone can totally kill a daw Anyone
Where is your computer? Don’t you use any daw to master records?
I record into logic and just use a limiter to push the audio up a bit more nothing else, everything gets done outside.
@@mpchead Can the MPC X master your tracks also?
what did you do to the sp404?
Taking a break from it for a bit.
Obviously you get alot of your samples mainly from vinyl..how do you go about clearing samples to release your beats to go on spotify etc..
That's a heated question.
Your studio is great bro I love everything about it. 🙏
