    Reintroducing Myself - Got an MPK Mini!!

    Heyyo - back again... relatively new to beat-making (~six months). I've been all virtual/software up 'til Saturday, when I got my MPK Mini III (all black edition)!! Working with MPC Beats/2 primed me for the hardware, so I had a running start. Most of what I make comes out as neosoul or soulful...

    Help A Sista Out

    Ayyyeeee!! Noice. I have the all black one in my Amazon wishlist. Haven't pulled the trigger because I think I'd like to invest in a bigger keyboard. I'm all virtual right now - MPC 2. Did it come with MPC Beats? I do all my drums/percussion in MPC 2 and instruments elsewhere. I started with...

    Help A Sista Out

    This is so interesting. (And I just realized I'm replying to older threads - sorry, I'm new.) I found myself trying to write songs but insisted I didn't want to make beats... until I watched this DJ/producer make this crazy beat on IG Live using an MPC 2000 and a turntable a couple of months...

    Off Topic I Just Want to Make Beats All Day

I already have a profession that allows flexibility in my schedule, but I've lost my passion for most of the work. Music excites me. It's a catch-22 because I need to do the work to...

    @OGBama Thank you for sharing this site. I recently decided to explore my musical talents seriously. I'd been writing simple songs, but just started making beats (JOY). I'm still assembling my production toolbox (software/hardware). I played a musical instrument MANY years ago so I am relearning...

    Pretty much. Started as something fun/creative using royalty free tracks, but the licensing can get complicated. Someone asked me to send them a song to play in a live stream and I didn't because I didn't have total ownership. It probably would have been ok, but if I ever want to distribute...

    Atypical NY-based producer here - female + older than most. I'm an east coast 90s hip-hop head and I just started making my own beats to write songs. When I sing (I *try* lol) it tends to sound like jazz and Broadway tunes. That, with hip-hop. :rolleyes: Hopefully this is a friendlier community...
