    In a beatmaking slump. Any advice?

    @BiggChev Dope posts, very detailed! I agree that just setting aside the time to do it is very important. It can be applied to working out every day, or just working on a beat. Right now I'm working on just getting some drums down, but other days I just listen for samples and when I find...

    In a beatmaking slump. Any advice?

    I've been in a slump too, but for me I think it's more than just the music because I feel burnt out from just tech in general. What I've been doing lately is just trying something, like just making a drum track and messing around with that, rather than looking to make an entire beat. But I...

    Akai MPC X

    That's always been my impression of it. I never got the Ren because I had Maschine at the time, but the X looks similar. It's a nice layout overall. If anyone here has an MPC X and is bored with it, just give it to me so I can give it a good home!

    Akai MPC X

    Congrats! I tried out the MPC One and it was cool but I didn't realize from the pictures that the pads are not full size. It was fun using the touchscreen but I found it to be a bit hard to press certain items. But I would love to try the X with a bigger screen and workspace. It must be fun as hell.

    What's going on with the beat process in these videos?

    I remember when I used to use Ableton and I ended up sort of doing the same thing where I would pencil in and then copy+paste, but then I found it to be too much of a routine. That's why I switched to an MPC so I could be more hands-on and focus on the music rather than the software.

    What's going on with the beat process in these videos?

    I want to start by saying that I'm not shitting on these videos or their beats. Instead, I'm just wondering what's going on. Check out these videos: Now I know that the whole point of these videos is to do a speed-run to see how fast they can make a beat. But what I noticed (and the reason...
