BUILDING A SONG using Song Mode MPC ONE LIVE X and sequence workflow

#mpcone #mpcbeatmakingvideo #mpclive2

Here is a video going over how i build sample based beat using the mpc one different sequences as i use variation with my beat production. If you want to know how to use song mode on mpc one this video will help out, Every boombap sample beat will have a different workflow on the mpc but this workflow with song mode and building sequences is my favorite is i get in a beatblock. In this mpc one tutorial the two focuses i am going over is sequences and song mode to better structure your beats in the mpc one standalone workflow so i hope this is helpful.

Just came across ths video in a search. A year later it is still giving value to the community. Thank you!!!

I cook the beat up in standalone. I do a simple arrangement in song mode then export the stems into Logic. In the daw I arrange and mix the final beat. I use to swear by song mode in the MPC but nowadays I like to linear view in the daw. I edit a lot faster that way.

Dope ass video. Not only showing the technicals of using the sampler, but essentially offering a solution for creating more variation in beats as well. 10/10

Malo, This was a great video! Your detailing each step for taking the sequences and putting the together to make a song was one of the only places that I was able to find out how this is done So thanks again and keep up your great work!

I'd like to thank you alot you've got me to bring my mpc out my closet and actually dig into learning it after a couple years of dust build up

You’ve got a really brilliant approach to delivering these tutorials. Seriously man, I’ve learned so much from you. As to your question - I’m an all-in stand-alone guy. I started my DAW-less approach with a couple of Volcas and the Circuit Tracks then the Rhythm. At the time I was also learning to use Logic. But, I work on a computer all day, so I really wanted less screen time. Enjoyed my setup but it felt very limiting. Lusted after the MPC One then pulled the trigger in March. Still learning, but my word, I love it. It’s the centrepiece now. Got a pair of studio monitors this week and now have a setup I really like.

I watch all your videos Malo. Big fan. Much love from Scotland. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

This helped me out tremendously, I just recently brought a MPC X. And didn’t know how to sequence. But I do now. Thanks for the help.💯💪🏽

This video right here is hella valuable for me going from song mode to grid editor changes everything. The variations in sequences are gonna be a madting!!!! I’m a serial looper who’s trying to transform into actual songs.

My workflow is mainly standalone but also at times hybrid with MPC Beats in controller mode.

Esto es lo que estaba buscando, siempre me quedaba solo en una secuencia y no sabia como hacer mas partes. Voy a intentarlo!

Playing sequence 5, seeing the timeline, inspired me to hear an instrument playing over it, like a trumpet sample for example. This sequence trick is very simple but extremely useful, it helps to create fills, add shots, new tracks etc. Brilliant cool as video.

I can see how the mpc is designed for such a workflow. This inspires me to tap into that a little more creatively. Its should be said two bar beats are can be layered and un layerd to overcome boredom, but then again some 2 bar or 4bar loops are so dope w/ a dope emcee like benny the butcher and you can't get enough of it.
When using the MPC (which becoming more often these days), i use the stand alone for the creation and sound of the box then export to sd card into a daw for more arrangement and little extras and mixingn and mastering. However, on occasion I will go do everything in stand alone, mix as well and go straight in from the mpc in real time, hit the daw record, giving a live feel performance. Sometimes the stand alone sound can not be dulpicated, even with mpc2 software, in my opinion of course.

Bro, you have no idea how much you help. I was literally trying to figure out how to copy a sequence and I came on YouTube and went straight to your channel and searched and you answered all my questions. Salute to you! BTW, you always have some sick samples.

I quit making beats when I switched from my MPC 2500 and outboard gear to Logic and Reason in a MacBook. Over the past 4 years I have gotten back into accumulating outboard gear and have gone back to making beats 100% DAWless.

[GeeDunkin]

Firstly, that is a dope ass beat!! This is exactly the tutorial I’ve been looking for. I’ve owned samplers before but mainly create on a PC. Just ordered the MPC One and have been trying to get my head around workflow for sequencing/ arranging etc. Liked and subbed 👊

[thedemegawd]

Yesssir I do everything in standalone mixing mastering included works so far👌, thanks for the videos bro I've been watching you for a minute now. Keep it up

[moniak]

All in standalone! no computer! and the result is great. This machine is awesome! Many thanks for the video! very great as usual!

[milescaines]

Fantastic. Not long had the MPC, went from Cubase to dawless. This really helps. Such an amazing machine

[jaysiemens]

These videos couldn’t be more helpful. So we’ll made abs edited aswell. Thank you for your time!

[MS-]

Wow Malo the song mode on the new MPCs is dope and, much more usable than on previous generations of MPCs. As always another great video.

[frazierboi]

Man the way you explain how to do things really helps me because your not being over technical and you just get straight to it thank you
