Hey, good advise and good take on gear acquisition syndrome. Many of us suffers from it. I'm goint to say only this: Product on this video or the alternatives like trrs splitters(mic and headphone) or headphone buddy are mono. So for example you can not back up po33 with these adapters. For recording stereo or backing up whatever on po33 on the go, you will need either cheap and small audio interface(like Behringer U-Control UCA222) of some kind of portable recorder(like Tascam DR-05X or zoom h1n). I learned the hard way.
This is a burst of fresh air on my UA-cam feed, which, like yours, has become a non-stop and borderline addictive series of advertisements for the newest tiny groovebox. I appreciate the reframing you offer--to focus on the music itself, while purchasing things that will serve creativity, without entirely renouncing our consumerist consensus of reality. Thank you!

Great video. My wife looked over while the octopus was riding the unicycle and started laughing at me "wtf are you watching?" I appreciate your point and agree with it. Love what you got.
Buy notebooks and pencils. Big or small, thick or thin, fancy or cheap. Those are some of the best gear for everything because sometimes you just need to write or draw to design what you want to do with the fancy gear; even cheap note papers are useful as a tracing paper, even Bic pens are great sketching instruments. And as a collecting hobby, it's cheap, and all the tools do the job, it's just a matter of what flavor you're feeling like.
I feel mostly the same but here's my perspective. To share some context, I was in a rock band with some friends during high school years and loved it. After graduation (and life!) we all moved away and stop playing together. I kept trying to make music on my own (on several DAWs) but never really felt the same fun. I could write a melody on a piano roll, program drums, etc. but even when the song was okayish to my ears, it lacked the fun part of rehearsing/jamming. I once bought a midi controller so I could have learned to play the keyboard and jam along my tracks but it was'nt really as engaging. So what you describe as your first step on the MPC, I think I felt it when discovering the KO 33 and going dawless. It brought the fun back. And then as the novelty slowly but steadily fade away, it was back to "work" and a bit less fun. I went to the phase where, watching a lot of videos showcasing other gear (SC500, Stylophone Gen X-1 and Beat, PO28 in my case), I went and bought these. So I mostly agree with the Gear Acquisition Syndrome part but I think it's okay if sometimes a new piece of gear can light back the fire or guide someone towards a new direction. And now I hope I found the middle ground : I do my best to use what I already own and I authorize myself to buy gear that will reduce friction to make music or have more fun doing it. Nothing that complexifies my setup or create extra step to start! And I guess that may be kinda the point you're making by recommanding a piece of gear like the one at the end. Sorry for the long story (and poor english) but since you adressed the problem, I wanted to share a bit of thoughts and advice too ;) Thank you for your videos, they're really cool!
thank you for sharing your thoughts and story, i think everything is good as long as your having fun expressing yourself. Also for me there are some pieces of gear that i can just "sink into" and completly forget the world around me while i use them - and then they get back in the drawer and i don't use them for a couple of months - i think tldr i wanna say: it's not the buying part that makes you happy - it's the creative process ! and anything that allows you to be creative is good :-)
Great content. I'm totally agree and your $2's advice it's the one some people really need. But the same people are probably sad that this video is not about "new fancy shiny synths" (like you said)! Just great content with good infos and good editing.
Protip: if you have a focusrite scarlet solo you can use it with your phone as well. at least with a samsung galaxy. I would think any usb powered interface will work. Of course its not as portable, but when I do found sound recording with koala I use the focusrite with my condenser mic, so I need the 48 volts phantom power.
USB -C Hub with USB-A ports. Allows me to plug in a variety of midi controllers and other peripherals to my phone and tablet. Also, a cheap rubber pencil grip works well for improving my experience with EMR styli for drawing tablets.
This is neat and I appreciate the motivation behind not sharing a link but I'll say I've bought a few of these USB-C to audio adapters and many of them are really crap lol. I'd happily pay $5 for one that actually works instead of gambling on 3 for $1 until one works. If you got one that works great and is cheap you should just share it!
Hey the brand im using is called "Sabrent" and it works with my google pixel 5 phone, laptop and tablet (with micro usb to USB c Adapter) - sadly i cannot confirm for any other devices. I have a "Roland Go:Mixer" that has multiple stereo/mono audio ins aswell as a function for monitoring the input signal on the headphones out. They sell them used on mercari for ~4000 yen or 30 dollars I guess - if you want a little bit more stable device (its also small but not "super small" - maybe Palm size)
Roland go mixer is awesome. I use it daily. I had the standard version, but then I got pro version because you can use phantom power on Pro as well as use it as a standalone mixer without the phone.
Guitar picks. After I invested in getting a big pack of my absolute favorite guitar picks, the ones that feel good when playing ANY guitar, EVERY guitar was fun to play, more comfortable, and thus more inspiring. Small comforts over expensive gear. I think the same could be said for a certain type of strap, or a special piano bench or drum seat that just feels right. There are accessories that make all the difference in the world and elevate your experience on every level of the things you already own.
Getting a variety pack of pick shapes and thicknesses also helps for when you start getting bored and lack inspiration. They make a small difference but are just different enough to make things engaging again.
For your home setup, if you already have a soundcard, just use a usb c to b cable to connect it to your phone instead of your computer. This way you can record and even film your performance with good sound quality. Make sure you chose a cable that's long enough though, if you want to use the camera.
i thought this was a very insightful video and i agree that yt has pretty much become an advertising platform these days i had the same thing with buying guitars. i actually stopped playing guitar as it got too out of control
Great vid! I also picked up an MPC500 recently, and It's now the main machine I make music with. I even sold other "better" gear because I stopped using it and realized that I don't need it!
Wow, a lot of toxic comments in here. I thiught the video has a good message. The images are fantastic. I assume you record the video with your phone. What do you use to edit? I am getting interested in making videos, but wanting to keep it simple and cheap.
6 min in he finally tells you. I'm giving you a thumbs up boss because that thing IS awesome I'm probably gonna go buy one but it shouldn't take you 6 minutes to get to the point. I think what you had to say in the first 6 minutes was interesting! Loved hearing that stuff... but it didn't really need to be said considering the title of the video. Still! Enjoyed the video.
That's cool, I have some lovely analogue headphones that my new phone won't recognise. Even using it for that would be cool, but being able to connect other elements to and from my phone would be a game changer for gathering samples. Thank you.
That is a fantastic gadget! I have always tried to record into my computer and I have needed (or felt like I needed) a lot of equipment to make that happen. But, seeing how this makes it easy to record video with input sound on a phone is inspiring me to give it a try!

To be fair: It's a nice video style, but it's just not the content you're promised in the title and the beginning of the video. So from this point of expectation: Pure filler content.
Yeah, but wholesome clickbait. It's free advice, not free advice in exchange for a small cut of conversions generated by 1 in 650 views of a $2000 synth.
True,but this is not professional audio gear- if you want a better Option for recording smthg on the go the Roland:Go mixer has multiple inputs, headphone out (also for monitoring) and adjustable levels, its pretty tiny as well and offers great value - but it doesn't fit in your pants pocket and is like 7000 yen instead of 300
Last cheap musical gear which I use with great success (with a band!) looks like this: cheap MIDI controller, USB to go cable, old donated tablet running Caustic 3. Works great.
this is interesting. i'm a little disappointed that you didn't show what you did with it.. i know exactly what i will try to do when i get my hands on a soundcard like that. i'm gonna start using caustic again. yay thanks for the video even though it felt like an intro. i await more cheapsoundcard content.
That "ninja star" audio splitter is great for midi/sync clock multiplying. I also have this audio/mic to usb adapter but it works strange - sometimes it do or doesn't... it is just random, there is also some noise in background. For Volca Modular i use simple breadbord with cheap electronic components (attenuators, switches, etc). It is great for signal routing alone.
Breadboard for Volca Modular is genius, its the same form factor jumper wires - i hava a box of electronic components Frim an abandoned arduino project somewhere and will give it a try

Great conversational post, thanks!

@@hubertmuller6157 Let me tell you a story about how I got interested in electronic music. It all started way back when, back in the days when CDs were still a thing and MP3 players were the latest craze. I remember stumbling upon this obscure electronic track while browsing through some old music forums, and let me tell you, it was like nothing I'd ever heard before. The beat was so infectious, so hypnotic, it just pulled me in and refused to let go. From that moment on, I was hooked. I started diving deeper and deeper into the world of electronic music, exploring everything from house to techno to ambient and beyond. It was like peeling back layers of an onion, each new track revealing a whole new dimension of sound and texture. I spent hours upon hours scouring record stores and online forums, hunting down rare vinyl releases and obscure digital downloads. But it wasn't just about the music itself, oh no. It was about the culture, the community, the whole ethos of electronic music. I remember going to my first rave, stepping into that dimly lit warehouse with its throbbing basslines and swirling lights, and feeling like I'd found my tribe. People from all walks of life, coming together to dance and connect and lose themselves in the music. It was beautiful, man, just beautiful. And then there were the artists, the visionaries pushing the boundaries of what was possible with sound. I'm talking about the pioneers like Kraftwerk and Giorgio Moroder, laying the groundwork for a whole new genre of music. And then there were the modern-day innovators, the Aphex Twins and Boards of Canadas of the world, taking electronic music to places I never even knew existed. But you know what really gets me about electronic music? It's the way it can evoke such powerful emotions without saying a single word. I mean, you listen to a track like "Windowlicker" by Aphex Twin, and it's like you're being transported to another dimension, where the rules of reality no longer apply. It's transcendent, man, like a religious experience. So why am I telling you this? Well, after that long explanation you'll probably understand how I felt watching the video.
Finding new inspiration, knowledge and serendipities with older gear is a great state of mind. Nice video and sweet editing!
You were describing GAS, or Gear Acquisition Syndrome, and yes we all go through that. XD

I remember stumbling upon this obscure electronic track while browsing through some old music forums, and let me tell you, it was like nothing I'd ever heard before. The beat was so infectious, so hypnotic, it just pulled me in and refused to let go. From that moment on, I was hooked. I started diving deeper and deeper into the world of electronic music, exploring everything from house to techno to ambient and beyond. It was like peeling back layers of an onion, each new track revealing a whole new dimension of sound and texture. I spent hours upon hours scouring record stores and online forums, hunting down rare vinyl releases and obscure digital downloads. But it wasn't just about the music itself, oh no. It was about the culture, the community, the whole ethos of electronic music. I remember going to my first rave, stepping into that dimly lit warehouse with its throbbing basslines and swirling lights, and feeling like I'd found my tribe. People from all walks of life, coming together to dance and connect and lose themselves in the music. It was beautiful, man, just beautiful. And then there were the artists, the visionaries pushing the boundaries of what was possible with sound. I'm talking about the pioneers like Kraftwerk and Giorgio Moroder, laying the groundwork for a whole new genre of music. And then there were the modern-day innovators, the Aphex Twins and Boards of Canadas of the world, taking electronic music to places I never even knew existed. But you know what really gets me about electronic music? It's the way it can evoke such powerful emotions without saying a single word. I mean, you listen to a track like "Windowlicker" by Aphex Twin, and it's like you're being transported to another dimension, where the rules of reality no longer apply. It's transcendent, man, like a religious experience. So why am I telling you this? Well, after that long explanation you'll probably understand how I felt watching the video.
