Technical questions for the MPC2000xl and the MPC2000
By oraziodelcore Mon Sep 22, 2003 12:35 pm
what`s producers,crate diggers,dj`s and studio technitians? !!

I just wonder if any of you guys have any suggestions regarding sequencing?

I have this beat on my mpc allready finished that I want to do an instrumental track with ,
but I just cant organize the sequence..

I usually sequnce a track after an vokal so the vokal allways desides where the hook comes in,where it goes out but how to organize if its an instr track?

Seems like youd be the best judge of this...feel for the change up's...I dont think there is a standard unless you want it to sound predictable than bring sounds in after ever 8-16 bars to build it up.Just my 2 cnts.

Personally, first, I play with the "mute track" function (or the "next sequence" function if you work with several sequences) to feel how the variations sound the best. Afterwards, if not already done, I make a different sequence for each variation and then organise them with the "song" mode. finally, you can convert the whole song into a single sequence and make some little final changes that will break sometimes the repetitive aspect of the beat.

IF I UNDERSTOOD YOU CORRECT YOUR QUESTION CORRECTLY YOUR ASKING FOR ADVICE ON SONG FORMATING.

ALRIGHT, INTRO (OPTIONAL) 4 BARS
STEP 1 16 BARS VERSE
" " 2 8 BARS HOOK
" " 3 16 BARS VERSE
" " 4 BRIDGE/HOOK (SUIT TO YOUR FEEL) 8-16 BARS
" " 5 16 BARS VERSE
" " 6 OUTRO OPTIONAL 4-8BARS

NOTHING OFFICIAL BUT THE GENERAL IDEA, ALTHOUGH IT WILL WORK MORE THAN NOT.
