In this first installment of recording with Glowing Ice you will be shown how to make a simple but effective way to make a very simple beat with the AKAI Professional XR-20 Drum Machine and the Korg Microkorg synthesizer.
It's just a drum machine.😂
Noooo it’s a live drum set, don’t you see it? 😂
The only reason I love it still is midi controller and doing random jams on battery power.
Otherwise I’d get something newer by now. I’m selling mine for $50
I got rejected thanks for the tips she might give me a chance in 2035. Cool vid.
I still love the xr20
Hi, good morning, I'm trying to connect an akai xr20 drum machine via midi to my strike multipad (I have 2), which I can't get it to work from the alesis. I don't know if it has another midi configuration or what to do and I've tried everything The strange thing is that I have other older drum machines and they work without problems when connected, I tried my 2 alesis and it doesn't work, after giving up I connected the akai to the alesis sample rack and it works too. my query should the strike multipad have another midi configuration? I feel a little disappointed I bought 2 alesis for shoot drum machine and I can't get them to work. Could you help me with that, greetings from Chile :)
Stopped in to see if an akai xr20 is worth the clearance price of $149. Ended up with a good laugh! Crab legs, no ladies legs. lol
Hahaha it’s a fun thing to mess around with for sure but knowing what I know now, this is the one and only drum machine I’ll ever buy. Enjoy the crab!
This is exactly what I was looking for ( Akai & KORG ..) It was Perfect for me. Great tutorial , honest music writing, Humble & informative . ..
I truly hope you have videos with the KORG VOLCAS - & the MiniNova
??
Thanks so much for the kind words and I’m happy it helped you. Sadly I have neither the Volcas or the mini nova. I have a pretty bare set up with music equipment. Mostly just microkorg synths and the xr20 like in this video are my go to’s, which I’m pretty knowledgeable on but that’s about it. Good luck on all things music!
In my experience the VOLCA series are pretty much toys unless you link everything right. Sort of like the Korg LittleBits I got for my ex who played synth. They are all fun, but don’t perform like larger equipment.
@@LaceChaser hey man. I've just got the volca bass and am quite impressed with the capabilities considering its size. I am new to synths but I can see the scope for recording already.
I am a recording and working guitarist of 20 years but asbi said...have no experience on synths so may be speaking absolute crap.
All jokes aside, i could hear that as like waiting room music in a video game or something
Thanks man, much appreciate it. I have made stuff for indie video games, sadly, those games have never seen the light of day. Bleh
this is actually a pretty awesome and entertaining video. This guy HAS TO BE a former or current pro DJ. btw, predating Korg Volcas, these 2 pieces gave you some really great sounds for the time period that sounded extremely professional without having to shell out more than a grand. It was my main setup as well for several years for beat making. whats awesome too is that you can line thru the Korg through the Akai or plug a mic into the Akai and forego a mixer. imo pretty dry sounding to be doing vocals out of, but it works.
Hahaha thanks, glad you enjoyed it. Been recording music since 2000 as a hobby. Starting in my teens and now in my 30’s. I make music as a solo artist now under the name “Glowing Ice”. So there’s that haha.
Oh I know, the microkorg when I first got it in 2006 made me feel like I had “made it”. Still love it, but now I record on a daw in my computer. It just speeds music production up so much I can bang out tracks more than I ever could this way.
That drum machine how it glows blue is just plain cool as well 😎
“Crab legs. Won 100 bucks at the casino. Now ya looking at ya girls legs. Not cracking em or eating em, just lookin…”
Just realized I found my way back to this video after seeing a comment I left a while back lmao
Tempo matches my comment number; nice
That was a horrible intro.
Obviously
Kinda horrible until the very end honestly. His voice and going on and on just ruins this one of a kind video unfortunately
No cowbell = no strange.
Random strange isn’t worthy of cowbell, they get default preset samples and like it.
Wtf😂😂 is this guy talking about lol
Love…passion….but mostly low grade music production
Loved the narration crab legs!!! Lol
Hahaha glad you did!
M literally so high right now
I have a question about the drum machine I have this drum machine and I wanna know can you connect this drum machine to a audio mixer and what are the tools to use it with the audio mixer ?
I’m sure you could as long as you have an instrument cable to plug both together. I’ve never tried it but it could definitely be workable. So an instrument cable would be needed and in order to actually hear it, you’d have to either plug your headphones into the mixer or plug a cable from the mixer into whatever system you have with speakers.
@@IndustrialIndustriesWorldRadio I have a microphone cord and it can go into the audio mixer and my system
@@hazemcdanill8336 you’ll need an instrument cable with the 1/4 inch jacks on each end for it to work. At least that’s my idea. A decent cable can run from 10-20 bucks at guitar center or any music shop. Amazon would probably be where I’d go.
Yes it’s very possible and easy. You can use either instrument as a midi controller as well. Look into midi for beginners and you will be set in no time.
Nice.
you sound like Mark Rebellet at the end 😂 18:32 Crab Legs & a hundred bucks !!!
You’d love the old stuff I used to record 😂
If this video was cut to the last 60 seconds I would bet decent cash that the likes would increase heavily.
I have both of those and this is the only video I found, but was looking for midi advice.
Definitely skip the 15 minutes of talking about things you enjoy I’d say. But, the ending was pretty chill. Definitely no hate. Just some constructive criticism my friend.
Might check out some of your other videos to see if there’s anything recent. If you have recording or MIDI videos that would be great.
I did this video from a perspective of a creative standpoint. It got a lot of dislikes because people want the tech info and that’s it which I understand but it is what it is.
Thank you for the understanding words and I appreciate the info!
Take care
@@IndustrialIndustriesWorldRadio Yeah man it was a good honest video. I can understand that. Like I said, no hate. I was honestly surprised to find a video with the only 2 electronic devices I have lol I hope the video gets some more likes along with your others. Good luck and keep jamming!
@@LaceChaser thanks bro, rock on 🤘🏻
Dudeman... I saw it. The whole image painted in my head. You are the king.
Sweet dude, next level inter-dimensional stuff right there! Thanks brah!
Thank you ! For enjoying it. i meant it.
Thanks allot I really do believe in having & a life that's worth living. Having a wife who is willing to share and work together towards making each other happy, even when I ask to much of her. I will be sure to keep things fair and I do try to give back as much as I ask of her, which at times has been allot being a musician can be some what greedy at times.
Like when you gotta have that new synth, the one that you didn't really need so badly the one you sold all the furniture, plus the washer & dryer to get.
No Im kidding but I have seen it happen, these guys should have been used car salesmen.
They sure know how to work & close those closest to them. Its Not cool at all.
Be as good to those who
love you, as you've been to yourself. No I take that back be better to them, they deserve more ! For being so supportive of us, damn old Musicians.
Came for the XR-20, stayed for the commentary. Hilarious bro! And on a real note, it was helpful to see you come up with ideas in real time and just play around.
Hahaha awesome! Thank you! Glad to see some people appreciated what I was trying to do with this video. 😁
does it have latin percussions?
Yes it does. Idk why nobody answered you. There are multiple Latin beats.
@@LaceChaser thanks
Can u sample with it?
I think you can, I’ve never done it but as you can load samples in from an SD card with it I don’t see why you couldn’t.
@@IndustrialIndustriesWorldRadio No! This drum machine has no sampling capabilities!
silky smooth even
😂😂
@@IndustrialIndustriesWorldRadio Thanks for sharing though - the first 3/4 of this tutorial are super helpful - one of the best videos on this beat machine
No problem, glad it helped. Some people think I only put it up for them to dislike it. Oh well, like or dislike, it all still drives up the engagement on the videos😂
To much talk and did not say one thing worth hearing ! Figure out what you are doing then film it.
Yes boss, so sorry boss, next time I’ll do better. 😂
