Great vid ! Great analogy of the gun and the bullets and the mpc is a weapon. And I think music is therapy no doubt for all us music makers & producers.
S/O to my homie Overlor. he use to school me & my homie Fmajor at Guitar Center back in the day when we where new producer in the game. I think we was one of the few producers that he accepted using software before it became super mainstream... MizfitzSoundz
Overtime I learned to make things more simpler by adding by subtracting. Its a never ending battle being a gearslut. There is many ways to skin a cat but if you are thinking of better ways while you are skinning it you may never bald him out
@Amerikaten Great advice...I subtract by selling gear to add gear...lol!! I guess if money was no object I would have a Hip Hop Museum with all the gear that was influential in hip hop culture.
You look like a kid waitin for Christmas! Lovin it... Don't sleep on that MV though. Found your chanel recently because of it, and I really like what you do with it.
Akai made the Renaissance is the MPC 5000 with buttons and color of the MPC 3000. I believe they know people love the 3000, so they are trying to copy it. But they left out one BIG factor; they left out Roger Linn. If they had any since, they would have called him and made him a part of this new MPC. Akai without Roger Linn equals a flop! I don't think they even have the software correct, yet.
@mpc4000king Roger Linn is still trying to get his Linn Drum 2 perfected and he has been away from Akai so long don't think he would have had any interest. The MPC3000 was the last machine I know of by Akai he had any involvement in. Akai Did go to FORAT and picked his brain(He even helped with some of the design and button lay out I believe) as well as a bunch of producers that have used the MPC's over the years so I think they are going in the right Direction.
@OverlorBeats Totally agree. Correct, Roger Linn created the 3000, then he left AKAI. Can't wait to see the LinnDrum 2. Roger knows the SOUND. Having said that, I'm curious to hear the quality of the audio converters in the Ren. Also, since there are the "Sample Edit" and "Sample" buttons there, I really hope a USB drive can be connected and used to sample and edit to/from, without the need of the computer. They should be able to do this. If that's the case I might buy it.
@OverlorBeats Oh, AND I really hope the Ren has the awesome pitch control and quality that the 3000 had to really pitch down samples to get some funky shit. The 3000's quality really kept the sound together when it was pitched down (or up) all the way. This was a feature I used and loved a lot... It's about the converters to get good sound in, first and foremost.
Appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts about this new product. I have some questions for you if you don't mind helping a fellow producer out. I know you know the MPC inside and out from your knowledge base on this subject. I think we can collab on a project and make something hot! Hit me up on twitter if you interested. @Arijinalbeat
@arijinaljinal No doubt I would love to hear some of your stuff. I will be openiing a twitter account soon. I have one for my production team but want to set up my own. Be patient with a brother don't hit all of the social media that hard but stay in touch and let me know what you have in mind.
Yo, I thoroughly enjoyed your take on the MPC State of mind and production. You see this exactly as it is, and you're right, some people will get it, some people won't. You are definitely a gearslut. I had to subscribe. I might have to do a response vid.
I agree thank you. I left a (maybe) too long of a comment in one of the videos in response to the negativity. Yes some things we want might be missing and it may seem redundant to some but this is a different beast and a dope product! We'll know when we get our hands on it.
@MrNodoz Looking at the Namm Videos I am really excited, if Akai came up with this years ago Roland would have never taken there shine & Maschine would seem like a knock off. Now it looks like they are playing catch up & they are doing a great job @ it thus far. The Fact that they teamed up with "Forat" & Veteran MPC users to come up with the layout and functionality says a lot. They care about there core users & want to make it right. Thank you Akai you are on the right track!!
@OverlorBeats Mos def they are a bit tardy and thats the quick game with technology companies are playing. Anyone who is a gear junkie like us will be anxious regardless! Peace
@OverlorBeats akai never really had major vision ofter the xl... they kind of just coasted .... they never really had the vision to do what the mv or maschine did. I was so sad when the 5k finally came out. I have to say though when I put my hands on the ren at namm this year... I was impressed. will it be maschine? no... will it be an old mpc? no... is it a new tool. yup and thats a good thing.
( and coming from a dude with an MPC 1000 , Maschine , and more ) i like only like hardware that can give me sumthing i cant already get , so the new MPC's are just not for me .
but my Kp3 for example there is no virtual software that can replace my kp3 its magic .n theres nothing in the digital world that can create feedback tones like my analog mixer. DO NOT SLEEP on the IPAD and things like groove Machine ,ipads BLEND well with ANY Studio !!
@OverlorBeats Yea the kaoss pad 3 , its sick( tha new kaoss pad quad is a step down , that's why its cheaper) and the ipad's are Crazy a lot of people dont know you can hook up any usb audio/midi interface , so you wanna midi sync it or control it with your external gear like trigger sounds with your mpc no problem .. or you can put control the ipad from your pc's mouse and keyboard ..n last but not least the sounds and music apps are crazy ( like anything u can imagine dope)
i agree with you man.. different daws and hardware bring out different flavor to your music. all of them have pros and cons but they all are useful. thats why i tell people to try to learn new stuff with music.. dont be stuck on one thing forever. atleast take the time to learn new things cause it expands your growth. good vid
making beats is my therapy too bro!! let me keep it real with u homie, i would have been shot dead or locked up in prison bro!! where i'm from it's not easy gang shootings /drug dealing / police shootings etc the list goes on .. a couple of weeks ago this dude i knew got shot in the face!! damn sh%t was horrible :( Enough of my sad stories lol.. if the price of the Akai MPCRenaisance is not to hot, i'll buy it, i wanted the mpc 2500 but i like using my software so i think the Renais will do.
@bigmanwhitesaint Hey BigMan know I understand...truly. Coming from what has been called "BodyBag Murderland" Home of the "Wire" and "B-More (Careful)". It is a great way to get all of that out and focus on possiblties rather than get swallowed up by the street. I love where I am from but I don't embrace it for the B.S. but love that it made me want more and strong enough to go after it and not take No for answer if its my dream. Stay Up Fam & Holla Anytime!!
Good stuff bruh. I feel you on the therapy too. I have to get my session time in almost daily. Most peeps who take their music serious, eventually end up with (Gear-Acquisition-Syndrome aka GAS). Myself, I call it gear-hoarding. Once it drops, peeps will switch to a "how does it work" mode anyways. Keep doing your thing bruh.
Yea im staring to use cubase and reason alot more myself .But im really stuck on the mpc the mpcr should change things for me as well.Good vid.P9(PEACE)
Yeah, I don't know about the Renaissance, but my interest is in the Slimeline Studio! Now all this is hinging on price, so the Renaissance may have a chance with me. I do like the size of the Slimeline, so I'm gonna wait on Maschine so I can see all the feature set make a decision after that. And the MV you ask? Oh, that's like rock n' roll & hip hop, it's here to STAY! It's about to be a fight with NI & Akai with the Slimeline, Mikro, & Maschine! Great rant bruh!
@Sinosure It would definitely have to be the MPCR for me. I want all the hook ups and connections. Slimline looks like just a controller no audio outs so if you got just that you are using the outs and ins from your interface just like maschine. So the MPCR it is.
@OverlorBeats Now when the street price hits & if I can get my paper up, then yeah, I'll get the MPCR too instead! For now though, I have to see how it all falls! I DO want an MPC in my set up again though! (I used to have the 200XL) My first love, the MV will still see much play though!
@ooProduction They are out there between $399 and $799 ... if your asking if I am gettting rid of mine probably not a lot of sentimental value...the first piece I got when I decided to start making beats again...also it has some issues but I can still work it very well.
