Sounds to me like you guys are haters...Why dont you guys post your lil punk ass setups and put me to shame...Ill post up another pic from another angle...thats nothing...Ill even put up a video...Dont trip...You guys hide behind your lame ass comments all day but where are your beats at? Where is the picture of yall setup at? Notice in the 1st 2 pics that the walls are green and white...notice in the next picture my MPC is stacked over the Motif...Dont hate on me because my setup is more elegant than yours.

"Dunce" who the hell says Dunce anymore...You sound very feeble minded...Its funny how people try to lead these so called perfect lives on the internet but me when I put myself out there I get chastized...Get yourself right before you go off making dumbfounded comments.

Ill actually give it to you, there doesnt look like a difference but I set my shit up in the same manner I had it setup at my old house...I just didnt have enough room to put it in the configuration that I like it in because I have a balcony now and my bed is bigger...I think youre just mad because Mr. Rolex lives a better lifestyle than you do.

Don't get discouraged..for a person who doesnt know shit about the equipment you're using..you don't sound bad.

Lamp gave you the best advice though..Keep making beats..the only way to really perfect you craft on the MP is from continuous heavy usage of it, and experimenting with the functions.

I see the potential..There's no right way, or wrong way to do this. Music is all about theory. Just find your musical theory thru experimentation. Like Lamp was telling you.

Look at YouTube producers like Disko Dave, Boon Dock, and Supreme. Those cats are beasts on the MPC and they give a little insight to their producing techniques.

If you feel like making beats isn't fun anymore. You just hit a "Producer's Wall". Step away from it for awhile and use that time to study music theory or something.

Stay focused and dedicated...there's something there to work with.

Thanks bro...I appreciate it...Yeah I just cooled it down for a min...I need to really take some classes and learn the theory of music making, its not that I cant make beats, Ive been making beats since I was 15...This is nothing, Its just that I want to actually know what Im doing instead of hopping on the MPC and going through the motions and just making a beat, I want to know that when I change the time signature, I know how to apply that into my composition or layering drums to get the desired effect, but thanks for giving that little boost of confidence that I needed FAMO!
