They told me this thing was a toy. I'm glad I didn't listen... There's an art to pulling samples from completely different records and making them work together that I had almost forgotten, but this machine is helping me remember. It's such a creative high when you make them work together so smoothly that it sounds like they were intended to be put together, but the listener has no idea. Some days the records fall into your lap to make it happen, other days they don't. The samples came together on this one. Let me know what y'all think of this one. Keep going! . . . #akaimpcsample #boombaphiphop #beatmaker #boombap

One of my favorite parts of making beats are those time periods where you start making a bunch of weird shit for weeks, but don’t even realize it until you revisit the beats a couple months later like damn

My third book, "What a Night: A Book About the Worst Shows of My Career," is finally back in stock after being out of print for several years. This book is about the worst shows of my career, with each chapter telling a bugged out or funny story about a different city in my long history as a touring artist. If you're a fan of hip-hop books, want to hear some never told before tour stories, and need a good laugh--this book's for you. You can order now from weightless.net/shop and if you want it signed just put that in the special instructions box. WORD! . . . #musicindustry #musicbusiness #beatmakerlife #beatmaker

@printmatic “How you gonna make a song with one track?” Well, open audio track, solo snare, open another audio track, solo high hat, open another one, solo kick, ect,ect, easy work.

@printmatic @darealdibiase This is true. It’s a language.. if you speak the language, you don’t gotta read a dozen manuals. You already got it.

@printmatic I agree with you 10000%. As a fan of hip hop first, I wanted something that I could understand out of the box. It might just be 1 track but you have 16 banks to do any/everything… save/export/next beat. I figured this is the closest I could get to dungeon family production.

@printmatic Same thing with a pianist and piano a guitarist and guitars. However there's a reason high level musicians chose high level instruments.

Here's my fourth beat on the MPC Sample. Let me know what y'all think. I've realized that since I've had this machine, I don't really turn it off. I listen to some records (either before I go to bed or when I wake up), sample a couple of things that sound interesting, and then I go about my day. Every few hours I pop back in and mess around with one of the samples, but I never turn the machine off. Part of that is because I just like being able to instantly hop back in, but the other part is that due to the limitations of the machine I have to actually THINK about what I'm about to do with the samples before I do it. I never have a plan when I make a beat on Ableton because the program can literally do anything, so I can go with the flow more. That's not really the case with the MPC Sample and it's making me be a little more strategic about what I sample and how I choose to flip it. This particular sample just sounded mean as hell, so I had to hook it up. I love finding these kinds of samples. WORD . . . #ableton #boombap #akaimpcsample #musicbusiness

@printmatic Thanks for sharing, I like the overall progression of the sample and has a solid mix of beats, the horn/string sounds reversed which gets my attention but sounds off in some way, your creativity continues to amaze me

I have some travel planned the next couple of months, so I picked up this carrying case for the MPC Sample. To be clear, this case is not designed specifically for the MPC Sample, but it does fit it very well and has some space and pockets left over for your cables as well. To be clear, I do not know the seller, nor do I get paid anything from this, but I figured I would pass it along for all of my MPC Sample owners who may be thinking about traveling with it. Without a travel case, I would be concerned about the knobs or screen getting damaged. You can get it from Amazon for $35; just search for "Luxtude Electronic Organizer Travel Case Large" and it should pop up. Hope this helps.
