CHOPPING SAMPLES JUST GOT BETTER! Yes sir

[quote="FrankWhite4Mayor"]I’ve benefited tremendously from your videos and knowledge sharing! Glad you’ve decided to keep that going. You’ll be hearing from me soon!

Thanks Frank! Big up! Peace.

Meaning if you have a stereo loop of a kick, hat, clap and a shaker this program Re-Groover will analyze the loop then break it into separate layers. This remines me of Explode with midi but now you can do this with audio. Get this you can regroove the pattern to something totally different. Or you can chop to one shots and replay a different pattern and export it. You can export from within the program but you have to have the Pro version to do that. You can play it out though into ypur DAW then export that way. This is crazy.

Guess why its hot? You can make kits in it also, just drag and drop the layer on to the pad section on the right. Keep what you want and don't want. I have loops where l wanted the separate sounds in the stereo track but couldn't get them because sounds are over lapping the sound l wanted.

I can bring in the drums into the MPC and get dumb!
It might work in the Akai software because its an instrument not an effect. Ima get the pro version in the morn. This is a game changer

That’s how the Motif chops drum loops.

What in the world happened?

Nobody has given me any money to buy an MPCX, I sold my MPC Live to help fund the X.

I'm still the man - I probably gave away too much too soon and have exhausted most of the interesting, non standard things to know about the Live and X.

When Akai releases an update with new features worth making videos for, you'll see how I exploit them and share them once again.

I find it laughable how people waste their time and energy even noticing how I'm supposedly no longer 'the man' and have gone down in their estimation just because my videos aren't as regular as they were. It was only last week I did a live video on a workaround for one of the most requested features (multi-timbral midi).

I have a life - anything could have happened, but because a lot of people want something for free and have no idea how much effort a lot of this takes, you just attribute it to me getting what I want and giving up - it's pathetic.

It is this kind of **** that may very well make me want to stop doing it. But that is not going to happen.

To date, I have received around $200 from very kind followers/subscribers who appreciate the amount of effort, time and money I have put into my channel to make it what it is.

I previously asked for people to become patrons on my Patreon account, but this model really didn't work for me and again, I've received around $80 dollars from that in total.

And whilst I'm very grateful for it, the YouTube ad revenue from my videos amounts to around $300.00 since starting my channel around 11 months ago.

So in total that's $580 - my monthly household expenditure far exceeds that as I have a family to think about.

I haven't been on holiday for nearly 3 years, albeit a short 4 day break in the UK last year where we stayed at a friends house. I went to Superbooth in Berlin this year but that was for work, I got free entry in exchange for helping an exhibitor, and paid for my own flight and accommodation. When I returned I spent 4 days editing all the footage and recordings of synths etc and once more gave my viewers free content to watch.

So if anyone thinks I'm sitting here in a massive pile of cash surrounded by thousands of pounds worth of equipment with my finger up my ass, you're very much mistaken.

So basically I've spent a hell of a lot more than I've earned. Additionally, people regularly leave questions asking me to make specific videos, and whilst I'm not always able to do this, many of my videos have been made for that reason - yet I'm met with this kind of lack of gratitude and resentment for merely asking for a small donation here and there.

Just so you know, I'm happy whatever, because my mindset is correct - say what you will.

You'll notice I'm very rarely, if at all negative in my videos and it is this alone that has contributed the most to me having a successful channel in a very short time, and it also has allowed me to progress with the MPC.

This post is the most negative I've been in a long while, and I'm disappointed in myself for even bothering to respond, but I need to get it off my chest.

I refuse to get caught up in energy wasting moaning and groaning. I'm a 44 year old with a different perspective on life than a 20 something wannabee producer whose issues extend to not having enough RAM.

I gave up a full time job two years ago to pursue my own business and control my own destiny. I live a simple life and any money donated to my channel has gone back in to it and living day to day- food, utility bills etc - plus I have a family to look after.

The reason I've accumulated nearly 4000 subscribers in less than a year is because I work my ass off and provide some of the best information available for the new generation of MPCs, plus tech support that even Akai themselves often can't provide.

Any gear you see in my videos has been donated to me by manufacturers in return for exposing their products to my subscribers for educational purposes.

Again, this is not easy to come by and required me to write emails upon emails and get on the phone time and time again and establish relationships with marketing departments and prove I can help them, just so I can experience products I otherwise would not be able to afford.

Regarding the MPC5000, I sold that back in early 2017 to fund the MPC Live, as far as I can remember any videos featuring the 5K were made or uploaded prior to me owning the X and possibly the Live.

I shouldn't have to justify any of this to you or anyone else, but it baffles me that people have an issue when YouTubers providing a lot of free content that takes time, effort and their own money/resources, get criticised for asking for a small amount of cash to support what they are doing.

I've given away some real secrets and great tips to help users get the most out of their MPCs and other gear.

And you'll notice in my videos when I do ask for a donation, I state very clearly it can be any amount of their choice, or nothing at all.

A word of advice - if you resent giving money to people who are essentially giving you something for free, you yourself will find it hard to come by financial success. It's an energetic exchange. The more negative relationship you have with money, the less you'll have, and this is a prime example of it. If you don't want to donate, just move on, don't resent being asked.

Motif separates drum patterns like the program l showed?
If so that's dope.

So sad to to see, some people are never grateful and just expect everything for free.. still, the bottom line is arseholes only know how to spout shit...

This is relating to Heavie's comment/assumption regarding me going silent once I got enough donations to fund the X.

I've made plenty of videos since, just less regular - there's only so much I can provide given the current features.

This was directed at him or anyone else who seems to think I got people to give me money but have done nothing to deserve it.

Ridiculous attitude to take towards someone who has provided tons of FREE info.

Just don't sweat the small stuff. Lots of people look up to your vids, best to keep it moving and be humble in the process. Hate is a poison of destruction, don't let it obstruct your path.

And can we chill with Tubedigga's quote, I read it once, I don't need to read it 19 more times. Reach out with one of these @.

@Tubedigga

If you like to making videos, make them. If you don't feel like making them, don't make them. It all depends on what is your goal for releasing these videos. If people paid you, great! If people gave you money to get a machine, great. If people donated to you for providing video tutorials, great. Do you and don't look back.

P.S. I watched one of your beat making video, and I'm going to say this. You have to stop revealing the samples my man. You are going against the code.

I was trying to see who dissed Tube. This thread was dead and he dropped the load. Dude helps a lot l seen a few of his vids and they are great. He puts in work just like Tutor they have love for whst they do. Gets my respect.

Oh ok. Man you help MPC users and dudes do tha? Wow. I didnt know someone said that. Tube keep doing you. Imo hell you should of gotten some dough for the amount of work you put in. Respectively!

Someone donate an X to me and if people didn't like it l would say "F*** You" and keep it pushin!

Don't sweat it 'Digga…over the comment of one person.
Also, that's today's climate…if you're gone for a little while, to some ppl you don't exist anymore.
I guess that's why so many artists are trying to do content and music on the regular, which isn't always good.

Stop giving it away for free, many do not respect or appreciate kindness. Also people want their hand held through the entire process. One of mentor told me, if you can't figure out how to use the machine, you don't deserve to use the machine.

You got me thinkin.......... I try to be understanding to some people that ask simple questions...... maybe they aren't that intelligent...... just because they're not that smart or maybe they're overwhelmed, it doesn't mean they don't deserve to play. BUT....... I don't know, I don't think it has to do with intelligence, it has to do with the love. My brother is not smart for example.... he's my best friend, love him to death, but yea, not much up there. Yet he has no problem workin his machines. Never even looked at a beat making forum. But he's passionate about it & does it because it's fun, because he loves it. When he wants to know how to do something he figures it out. When I first had a drum machine in front of me I was hooked. I just banged on the pads, what does this do? Twist a knob, what does this do? I read forums & manuals when at work, soaking up as much knowledge as I could because I love it. I enjoy learning about it.

If you're doin this because you love it..... because you're passionate about it...... you don't mind doin some research because you WANT to know. Not because you HAVE to know in order to make a dope beat.

I could be wrong..... any stupid mutha *&^% out there can correct me if I am

Fanu you're right. The attention span must be super short for a lot then.
