that my friend is what u call a real west coast banger! hot! u and the the homie T.H.X. have a similar vibe, and thats not a bad thing.
Yo that shit is a certified slap and bi coastal too… FM you bangin out
shit sound official i gotta peep the new setup homie…
Yo Altruwest! Just found you man. Great beats, very musical, very creative. I am learning, and I’m curious about how the keyboard and mpc are working together. Is Logic being used here? This looks like a really fun way to work and I wanna give it a try. God bless and much respect!
come through dude you know where Im at!
Thanks for the honest feedback, its appreciated. In this video I’m using software instruments but it is not Logic. I would like to keep the instrument library on hush
Im sequencing the Instruments with the MPC 2500 and have connected my Novation Remote SL directly to the MPC so that I can use it as my master midi controller. Its definitely a very fun way to work for me, and requires me to do a lot less looking at the computer.
That was nice… the changeup was raw, keep up the good work
man this shit hurts….so fucking tight man youre fingers rape that keyboard lol keep the vids comming love to see you make them bangers 1
Usuyally composed beats on youtube suck bigtime, but you proved otherwise. I am speechless. This is simply awesome. You gave me an inspiration to start composing myself.
If you have an instrumental album or something, let me know.
i would change some things but dnt worry id change every record ever made a bit lol soulful stuff, God Bless
This is the shit man you killed it with this one…i could listen to this all day keep it up
my man, u already know kid! When u gonna drop some more nuggets on us man lol, holdin out on us I know you over there working on super secret bruce wayne stuff but hook up the fanatics wit a lil loop or sumthin lol.
dayummm…man you crazy
Insanity…
This is straight FIRE my man!!!
Brah! Please tell me where I can buy this cuz this is the jam. I have heard this in my head all day and night since I first heard it. This shyt is a classic!!!
bruck lee
That Novation Remote 49SL is clean as fuck…I got one…
I wonder if he had his sounds playing through the MPC or if the sounds were in a DAW…Hard to tell..
oh man…nevermind, didnt see his racks, thats where he gettin those dope ass sounds from
Hey man, thanks for checking out the video, the sounds in this beat are coming 90% from Reason. I just did the sequencing on the MPC. The bass came from the SE-1 Analog Synthesizer. Thats pretty much it!
@Altruwest How do you hook up the MPC with Reason? I need a Midi interface right?
You definitely need a midi interface with so that you can send midi to Reason’s Midi Interface, from Reason you can assign each device to a midi channel on the specified midi interface. I think there are a few videos on youtube that show you step by step how to connect the MPC to Reason. Very dope combination.
yo i got a ????
is it easier to 2 make a beat on just reason 4 or the MPC2500??? like which makes the workflow easier
Did you ever release this brah? I would love to buy this on CD. This is like my theme music! I love this track! Props…again!
