  • Back with another video. The MPC Key 37 Is out! Even though I already own the Key 61 & MPC One- I still felt like the Key 37 would be a great addition to my collection and give me the same feel of the Key 61 without taking up a lot of space. Today I will show how I stay inspired and the method I use to overcome Creators Block/ Beat Block. So, hangout and let's explore this awesome technic together!

I know you'll never run it of ideas with vocals. Thank you for the shout-out, my bro. It's really great that I can show you a different approach to being inspired.

    Brah... that gas be real sometimes so you had me rolling on that intro. But after visiting the amazing Thomann Music Store here in Germany and putting my hands on it, I can see why. Not only do the keys feel really surprisingly good, they also have excellent key travel in my opinion, that excelled over a few other nearby keyboards that I compared it to.
    Also dig how you designed and wrapped your chords, bassline and drums around the acapella like a turtleneck sweater with practical theory to boot.
    That is how you do bro and you made it look easy. Keep doing what you do IMB.

      Its really sad that most beat makers today don’t believe it’s useful or necessary. Hopefully this video shows the other side.
      Appreciate you taking the time to stop by - you always leave sincere and powerful comments 🙏🏾. Working on the next key 37 video, still tryin to visualize it all in my head before committing it to camera 🎥
      I think i will use another acapella and maybe go a bit deeper, on how to use the scale and chord chart!

    The plugin issue appears to be a registration delay. Devices show up as registered but, it takes a minute for Akai…Air Music…and whomever else is part of the software/plugin company. Once the device is put in the “Inmusic System” (not just Akai)…the plugins eventually show up.

    • @IMakeBeats
      @IMakeBeats  4 місяці тому

      Thx 🙏🏾 for stopping by and sharing your input. Appreciate that. But how long of a delay do they need? I purchased my MPC KEY 61 -2 yrs ago! The registration should have taken effect by now dont u think? Lol

      @@IMakeBeats It took about 18 hours after I registered my 37 for all my previous registered instrument plugins to eventually show up. After doing some digging. and asking around...8-48 hours seems to be the delay. That makes sense if the offices are in other timezones. My homeboy in Germany got his the same day as me (in Houston) and his plugins showed up in 10 hours (he registered at night when the business offices are closed) and his stuff popped up at 9am the next morning. When mine popped up it was 11 am in his timezone (during business ours over there). When people try to register on Friday's in the states...it usually takes around 2 days for their plugins to show up (Monday morning overseas during their business hours). I really think it is a timezone and manual authenticator issue.

    Do you plan on keeping all the same devices? Especially with the mpc one being just like the mpc keys 37. I have heard other UA-camrs saying they are having issues with plugins. It's that new licensing system. It's just not right. I'm having issues with presets I purchase a few weeks ago that I still don't have access to yet on my force. I have shed off quite a few items from my studio that I just wasn't using. Trying to get down to just the things I am honestly using. It's hard when something cool drops and it's just different enough to be useful.

    • @IMakeBeats

      Being that i owned the X, and still have the One and Key 61 - i can say the Key 37 is more than an Mpc One. Its the best of parts of both the 61 and the Mpc One!
