20+ years of making tracks and I've never used an MPC, but watching your workflow was an eye opener. Seems like a lot of fun! And I have to say, I love that you leave those "oh wait, I fucked up" moments in, AND show how to fix them. That's something essential that I think a lot of people leave out of their videos. I've known too many people that get discouraged when something weird happens and just throw their hands up rather than taking a deep breath and thinking about how to fix it.

Your “from scratch” takes never fail to fascinate me, mostly because I for myself find, um, basic techniques and tools I never got my head around. But watching you bringing it all together (and I love that you can laugh at the little glitches and mistakes) encourages me to dig into the “small” things. The basic stuff that you put in there so quickly and in an almost natural way motivates me to take a couple of steps back now and then and just learn/recall and become more familiar and comfortable it. It is always a pleasure to watch you creating these tracks! Thanks for sharing!

Love what you do, mate. Top job, as always.

I was never big into house music. But your page has opened my mind and I love every video. Great job dude. ❤

Thanks for making house music. I love it!!

Love your work, Ricky! I am sure a few MPC newbs are very grateful for this practical example.

Could watch this man make music for days 🙌

Hi Ricky, I'm a big fan of you and your content. Very grounded personality, calm appearance, great musician. Totally stands out from other youtubers.

Thank you for pushing MPC workflow to house/techno artists. Live II with the massive sampling, cv and two midi networks has been game changing for my writing.

Thank you for just being human on these videos. We appreciate that more than you know #InTheBeginningThereWas

Mad respect for your fluency on all the gear you use in your videos. I can only imagine how much time and dedication it takes to get that comfortable with all this technology. Definitely feel that it's my biggest hurdle with making more music...learning and being able to harness the technology. Been working with the MPC One for a couple weeks now and your video shows me what can be possible with some dedication and persistence. Thanks for the inspiration!

I love the workflow bro! Keeps me inspired

Love all your videos!

Been Ricky Tinez video binging since Sun. This is vibe

thanks for showing me tracklib, that is a game changer and the dopest idea ever, and this house beat is sick

Love the warm lighting in this video. Man if I never hear another hand clap I'd be happy.

Great video mate. Lovely groove

Thanksman for this vid. Love you man. As you said: "Share the Love!"

Wow I wish you had a MPC masterclass your workflow looks so seamless! you've definitely set a standard for me to aspire to

Love it.

Love your work on Novation Peak, your Sequential synth, the Eurorack exploits, the Oberheim Xpander etc etc... But Akai is where your real talent comes to life: the Music (yes - with a capital) you create on any MPC is just way better than on any other piece you play or have played.

Yo Ricky really enjoyed the tutorial. Just bought the Live 2 and then went on vacation, but I'm excited to dive in fully when I get home! I was curious, would you consider making a video about exploring breakout controller options for live performance (i.e. keyboard, faders, pads for mutes on other on/off settings, assigning to plugin parameters, x/y, pitch shifting certain sample). Seems like there's so much potential there. Also, I'm curious if you have any experience with faderfox products. Keep doin your thang! Always inspiring. Best, Dan

Jo Ricky, first thanks for all your videos, I really enjoy them. Your vids inspired me to try out working more with samples, and I'm having a blast. But I'm having a hard time understanding all the licensing stuff that comes with samples. I don't know about others, but I would love a "post mortem"/"x time with" with tracklib video. You could talk about how it's working out for you and maybe how you handle releasing music that uses those samples.

Great video! You got the SP404 Mk. ii in yet?

Hey man. This is super helpful. I’m going to take the plunge into MPC One-land this week after mostly using an iPad and some hardware synths. I’m looking for a way to have a dedicated recording station instead of my iPad doing double duty... as well an iPad. It was either an MPC One or a Blackbox. But based on your review of that I’m going with the MPC. Great to see your workflow. I’m curious what “other gear” you are referring too when you comment on the old school way of pattern programming the MPC excels at in comparison to modern pattern programming. Be nice to see a video on how you play it “contemporary”.

Ricky do u or have u ever made trance or happy hardcore on an MPC I would like to get one for hip-hop production but I also like to make hardcore and trance what would the MPC be like for that style?

"sit through another 4 bars of me doing a simple kick drum" ... *rim shot* ;-D

pro tip: tune everything down to -6db. pro tip: use the PARA EQ effect on kick drums. go to the 2nd page and turn the high all the way down, or to your taste. go to the first page, then turn the low hertz of the kick up. this equals fat kick drums. your kick was clipping because of the filter you used in program edit.

Can you start releasing the tracks you make on the videos? It’s a whole different level dancing to a track you watched being made.
