Hi Guys

i am looking for some inspiration and help to improve my skills with my mpc live 2, and it would be great if you could share links and videos with follow along beat making... like here is a small sample pack and with that we are going to make this beat, follow me along... that would be great, in my research it was really quite hard and unsuccessfull to find any of that kind...

Not a video but if you specifically want tutorials that provide you with all the actual samples and resources you need to follow along, then this is exactly what I do in every tutorial in my MPC Bible course:

You don't none of that advanced crap. You need to just jump in & start making beats!

You won't be great at first & that OK. Just have fun & don't overload yourself with too much advanced info & be sitting there over-thinking art & not making anything.

:twisted: Holy hell man, you got the MPC Bible what else do you really need?
Get to work & start jamming!

Bye!

i often sit in front of my mpc and my head is empty and i quit, follow along doing a already existing song and rebuild it would be some kind of enjoyment and keeping your focus on the mpc. just like repainting bob ross paintings in tv or similar follow along stuff...

So you brought an kinda expensive piece of gear with all kinds cool stuff to mess with & you sit there with a empty head & this is after you've read the MPC Bible, just to quit with without even trying to make something.

Why did you buy this? :hmmm:

Thanks, will check tubedigga

And to explain again, i would like to have something like those old magazines where you get some pieces every week and in the end you have a dinosaur model built by yourself…

I find it quite comforting to follow along existing music and rebuilt it myself, without the need to be „creative“ as a must

I enjoyed the phucc outta that game.

Vol.2 the one with Funk Master Flex doing the intro is what started off with back in 2002. I've been recently wanting to it get again just to know how good it really was since I absolutely didn't nothin' about making beats back then so I know I missed a bunch of cool stuff & I would like to just sample some them sounds. Didn't like using the console controller the make melodies & never brought the MIDI keyboard they made for it, which if I had, I most likely would've used it for a lot longer than I did. I got the DR202 9 months later & never used it again especially 9 months later when I got the SP505 a PSR77. Good fukkin times!

Back around 2007, 2008, or 2009 the X Box 360 had a similar program (forgot the name) as part of their support of the homebrew community. That had a tracker-like interface that was a joy to use. I also hacked my original PSP back in the day (around that time) to run homebrew software such as PSP Rhythm 8.0 (by PulseCode), a GameBoy 8-bit soundchip music program, and a third music creation program (Little GPTracker IIRC).
