[NLundergroundmusic]

Hey man.... Nice stuff! How about the drums that your using is it from that synth?

Grtz. from Holland

[kashcino1]

mdl is so well organized

[ylucktv]

WERE CAN I GET THIS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG???? LOL

[kajikCZ]

What sound card do you use?

[TehSaone]

where u get your drum packs brother?

[mylesp]

i have a double pop filter where its basically layered twice with fabric. what do you like better the metal or fabric pop filter? i heard metal gives a unwanted noise. something like a whistling noise. is that true?

[Nukkro]

i have that mouse, the side buttons come in handy

[MrTheNova]

ur drums AMAZING! like how the hell do u get them like that? just heavy kicks and reverb? if u made a tutorial on diffrent styles, and effects on ur drums to get cool thing happening that would be amazing

[lev3lent]

What's the deal mdl? I notice you picked up that Presonus Monitor Station, I love mine. Completes the studio. Good job man, word up.

[eLSismo413]

wat my vids too

[AyePaul]

AYE, DIS SHIT SUX!

[larry89]

reminds me of the sessions i do at my crib.. lol just havin fun

[TomyCroSound]

is that reflection filter realy works?!

[RedFlowBeats]

yo im 14 years old and need some tips,

did you followed piano,drum and guitar lessons?

how old where you when you started?

[jskillz206]

marc johnson's your neighbor? ha. nice.

[davdcl499]

Man, this shit is boring........ I just lied. Good shit. Peep the Bevis & Butthead laugh @ 1:45.

[Zokimaster]

Your phones, look as ATH M-50 (Audio-Technica). I have them too. They are amazing for sub-bass. But for microscoping of sound (mids and highs, reverb, etc.) I still prefer much more my 20-25 years old Sennheiser HD 250 Linear.

Btw., I remember your videos from few years ago. I'm glad I "found" you again and that you are doing VERY well.

[MrTeddyBeatz]

Can you upload the full version?

[JonBondamic]

Hey MdL, i like the rap stuff! But dude i produce a lot of R&B, I've been told we have a similar sound when it comes to that. How did you break into the game so young? Much respect!

[OllieMcguigan1992]

so glad your back man, so inspiring! In fact, I'm going to make a beat right now!!

[MrVyoung2005]

Check out davincibeatz(.)com

[BigStacks18]

hey mdl i respect u as a producer ur the reason i started using cubase 5. i value your opinion as well jus uploaded a video of my new studio set up i would love if u could critique it and tell me ur opinion plz would really appreciate it!

[darkmeat05]

Good to see you do another video with Spill. Another step to the top. 

[davdcl499]

So glad you're back making music. I was about ready to strangle Stephen Jerzak if I heard his voice again.

[Theoonlineofficial]

Sick mate, always love your vids, what drum VST's do you use?

[SicNastyProductions]

@MdlProductions Just wondering, what's the hardware piece that you have next to the orange hard drive? It looks like a mixing type of hardware... is it?

[oOoInStInCtoOo]

really dope it has that eyedea (RIP) and abilities style to it

[KevinFirm]

The rock part 's great. But he shouldn't read the lyrics than rather learn them by heart, it's always more intense if you learn them instead of reading, it's like in auditions, the guys who reads the lines never get the parts.

But still great work

[lievik33]

im really interested about ur drums packs... not only in this beat but at all... they sound really great! I really appreciate your work... i hope there will be more songs,more videos and some next mixtape/album like sega genesis!

Merry Xmas and happy new year 2011.

[ipiddydafool2]

Good to see ya again MDL.Still sounding good.What size monitor do you have(if you don't mind me asking)

[AlphaMelee]

So did I hear somethin about Spill gettin a deal?

[musicmusician503]

I like that right there.

[SmokedOutTV]

LOL at all u kids trying to be like mdl with "productions" at the end of ur names.... Learn to be original stop copying other people.

[TheKidProductions]

Hey Mdl long time no see. Anyways I see you've gotten alot of new gear and soundproofing up on the walls, I also noticed you were in a different room where are you recording now and what new gear do you have?

[MrCassanovaProductio]

THIS IS DOPE AS USUAL MDL!!!GOOD WORK!BUT I GOT A FEW QUESTIONS FOR YOU.WHAT TYPE OF COMPUTER DO YOU USE AND WHAT S THE OS SYSTEM N IT?I WANT SOMETHING SIMILAR

[BMI07]

lol at the random siren...hot beats tho....why it seem like he tryna rap like drake???

[spitem1]

where do u get ur samples?

[ShawtyVez3]

MdL whats up!!! When recording lyrics with the Reflection filter do you notice a difference from when you use to record in your closet/booth? Does using the Reflection filter still sound good when recording vocals in an open room?

I asked cause I don't have enough space to make an actual booth.

[MdLProductions]

@ShawtyVez3 Yeah it works great as long as the room is relatively dead.

[ShawtyVez3]

@MdLProductions Thanks that was a very quick response. Lol! What kind of mic do you guys use? I was was thinking of getting the Blue Bluebird or the Sterling ST59.

[ROJMUSIK]

@MdLProductions wats up mdl. so what advise would you give an upcoming producer for example me lol. how u get inspired. and how do you start your beats? do you make them by how your feeling or do u just here sounds in your head lol what is it that makes u create good musik .. let us know md!!! i can honestly say producing is my god damn life =] i want to live frm it one day just like u fam lol

[MrSalmon88]

yo mdl nice track im glad you finally put out another video everyone knows you got more serious stuff goin on but you got you fans dude !

[mylesmayhem17]

[M7Tracks]

whats the name of the audio interface??? 0:27

[TimayProductions]

Nice! Always liked Spills style.. And your older videos are helping me a lot. What's the update on your new setup? Got your own pad?

[AFullPlateProduction]

first off, stoked to see ya back, second, what happened to the old studio, is this your new studio? third, I noticed the Mac but more importantly I think I saw an apogee ensemble??? dope set up! also, that beat was hot and spill killed it, great job and the high pitch laugh was hilarious!

[mattrozak]

hey man, just want to say you've been a huge inspiration for me. in the past year ive gone from knowing nada bout producing music to winning production awards such as the ableton summer music challenge with my home studio. keep it up man, ive got a lot of respect for you.

[strkmusic]

mdl's cursing now? next video the studio will be full of marijauna smoke lol. respect to the mc for the krs-1 reference.

[Barefoot67]

great to see a niew video from you. Have you switched to Mac Pro, thought I saw one next to the PC?

If you would do a video on mastering one time it would be great, think a lot of people would be interested in that!

[teacee]

Glad to see you back lil homie, but keep the food of the keyboard man!!!! lol

[avrahamk10]

wow sick drum sounds

what kit / VSTi is it?

[Yahuzi]

omg, mdl ur back :D sick as always

[Sargejerz]

Another Great Video. I've been doing music all my life ( 32 years old ) and your videos are always Very inspirational. Keep'em coming. Not trying to plug but my artist Moufful needs to get signed and work with you. Check him out if you get a chance. Search Moufful

[MdLProductions]

Still on PC but have both.

[ally365]

[dariya13]

[dvsn23]

[dariusmines]

MDL IS THAT A MAC SIR???

[adogg5899]

MDL.. You're On MAC now??

[matt040287]

Nice work MdL and Spill. Sounds killer. Do you mind sharing how you got the distortion on the vocals? I figure probably a simple distortion plugin (or hardware) without going overboard on it. Not that I think I will ever do something similar, but it may be a technique some of us could experiment with in many aspects of production.

[SmokedOutTV]

it would be kool if u can update us on mixing instruments and some quick mastering techniques. Thanks and keep it up i been watching all ur vids.

[djhep1232]

Yooooo What Kind Of 88 is that?

[lechevarria89]

everytime I watch one of your videos I get inspired to make a beat.

[Halloranisy5]

did you move and set up a new studio?

[MrSmithLIVE]

Glad to see you back at work!

[claudia09baby]

[MakeItFunkyProds]

Cool video. Very entertaining. The rapper's style reminds me of Jay Z. Nice to see something from you using less virtual instruments. Loved the drum parts! Peace!

~Vince

[MdLProductions]

@MakeItFunkyProds Thanks Vince, always appreciate your feedback.

[HipHopRally]

@MakeItFunkyProds

[SmokedOutTV]

[aClassBeats]

daaaam did you ever go to music school or did you like learn form home and on line books n stuff

[MdLProductions]

@aClassBeats I've learned by self-teaching and practice with some inspiring people along the way- and I'm not done.

[aClassBeats]

@MdLProductions thnaks keep doing your thing

For virtual instrumentals what do you thinks better Cubase or Nuendo

[tinktwiceman]

This was dope. Yo MDL, if you don't mind, what mic were you using in this video? The track came out nice, and the drumming on the keyboard was dope.

[pppeeeppee]

What took you so god damn long to come out with another video

[BlackSoultan]

Didn't like the feel of the keys.. right ;-)

[MdLProductions]

@ShynAwkward I still stand behind the MPK 49 as a quality mid-size board, but just I felt I needed an 88 key controller moving forward.

[polobarca9]

[Aluarth]

It has been a while man, you even cutted your hair. :P
