    Absolutely loving this series. Can i make a request for a possible future video ? ... could really do with some guidance re setting the individual track volumes/levels optimumly so that whats hitting the master output is best placed to utilise the mastering type plugins for maximum clean volume on master channel.

    Great video. The cool thing about so many people being able to post unmastered music is that we've come to adapt to an lower quality mixes so that even with just the MPC/Force built-in FX could be used to make bangers...if you got skills like that. I haven't really messed with it, but you I think you could use the Randomization feature in the Drum Program editor to emulate movement like you on the shaker sample using the Auto-Pan FX

    @@Noise-Conductor I do sell them lol. Not drum packs as such. I sell really rare open breaks that I’ve made into three minute loops. I have thought about drum packs but I’d want them to be special and stand out from the usual packs on sale. They also take a lot of time to put together if they’re done properly. It’s definitely something to consider at some point.

    Hey man, thank you for watching. It will work for all drums to be honest with refinements. I will be doing some videos on mixing House music in the MPC. Despite Hip Hop being my first love from the 80s, I have predominantly been a House Music producer since the late 80s, and most of my clients are House Music labels and producers, so I will definitely be giving it some time in the MPC.

    Nice work! You really know those internal plugins inside out. The only thing, to my ears I think the kick was a bit too squashed. I preferred the attack of the original. Loved the spring reverb on the snare and clao though!

    Yes of course I agree. In these demonstrations I have to go overboard a little otherwise it’s not possible for people to hear the effect. I would never compress a kick that much normally. The spring in the clap was overcooked as well. Thanks for watching.
