So drums are strictly sample only? Or we can use others, but drums are needed from the sample too?

I have nothing better to do at the moment besides over-analyze LOL.

Hey Kappneffect! It should be fun and some kind of task so if you want to you can layer own drums to your fresh chops out of the sample. Congratz chilln, hope your fine with samples and theme?!

Hello all!!

This is my first beat with the MPC Ren. Some might hear it and think it is unfinished and I would agree but I am still learning how to use it.

I thought I would enter this beat in to the Beat Battle since I used the samples that were provided. The samples were great!!

Pretty solid start. I'd try playing with some highs over the bassline sample...good shit though!

Thank you!! Any advice is appreciated. I just needed to understand how it all works. Chopping drums up and making a beat was pretty straight forward. The hard part for me was adding a sample as a melody and then adding a drum beat over that.

Once I figured out Song Mode and Sequences...that helped. I am sure if you guys that have a lot more experience with the Ren and the software saw how I did things you would tell me there is much better ways of doing things. I am quite sure the process I follow is clunky but time and practice will help iron that out. I am so happy to take part in these beat battles. I have received a lot of guidance from pk1 so now that I can crawl I need to keep practicing so that I can eventually stand up.

But any advice is welcomed and much appreciated!!

Blessings!!
