It really is! I never messed with SP too much but that will eventually be on my list. The tascam 4 track cassette Is what I started on when I was a kid. I look at it the same way vocals get cut. If you record vocals straight into an interface will sound ok then recording into a real pre amp, compressor and all. With drum machines it’s the same way. The more things I can use to color the sound the better. 🥁🥁🥁🥁
Awesome video man! I really like your approach. I find it minimalistic and straightforward. I often get lost with too many options in ableton and spend more time deciding which vst i want to use than actually making music. Keep the good work bro, greetings from Spain
Thanks man! I find that the more simple things are at reach the quicker we can get our ideas out. The one thing I love about old samplers are the limitations and because of that it really simplifies a lot of my ideas. 🙌🏽🙌🏽
This is an awesome vid/tutorial. Many takeaways from this. You opened some doors for me bro. I have a Yamaha MG-12 mixer and a Yamaha ES keyboard along with my MPC 2500. I’m gonna try this fam.
Thanks for tunin in! Mixers def can tie all the gear together depending what you want to gain out of it. If you want to see more let me know and I’ll create something within that topic.
I run my mpc into a tascam multi track record as the extra mastering effects dynamics eq ect makes a big difference iv got a little mixer but i never use it the multitrack is dope i could record each track seprate into the multitrack and have different tracks on different
Yea the tascam has a lot of routing options and it does sound really good. The compressors sound pretty snappy on snares. Recording into the tascam is convenient when you want to work outside the box.
I had an mpc 1,000 mpc 2,000 and mpc 2000xl going into a Yamaha analog mixer going into Ableton and an mpk 88 . Now mpk249 Tascam model 16 epiphone casino epiphone SG fender tele orange Crush amp and Marshall code amp and line 6 500xl HD. And zoom r 8 and zoom r20. Everything ends up in ableton though still.
Lookin forward to this one, recently got myself a mix wiz 3 for the 16 direct outs, running the asr w expander and 2kxl through it. Got my notepad ready! Got a ferrofish pulse w 16 in and out foruntately so dont have to worry about running all the ins at once for multi tracking. ASR Tricks would be the sauce if you can manage some time for it. Thats the one machine where every forum etc requires way back machine and dead links to really get info on. Even the majority of the good asr machine videos just show a lot of capabilities of the machine rather then someone who actually uses it on a daily basis and with the asr you have 900 ways to get to the same destination so that process can hit a lightbulb seeing someone elses method.
I use ableton mostly now with my push but I still have my 300 my ensoniq eps and all my sound modules u never get rid of anything when it comes to studio equipment
Your beat is NOT shit, lol. I recorded my first album (back in the 90s) almost exclusively on the ASR 10. At the time I found it quite clunky to work with (that sequencer is shite) but, looking back, it had a great sound. And we bounced the tracks to tape, which really helped as well. I do miss the sound and physical control of the ASR and pine after it. On a different note, it looks like the MPC and ASR combo is a really good one. Thanks for an awesome vid, so good to see a producer doing most of their work outside of the box. I think it really gives the music a totally different feel
Yea the sequencer in the ASR isn’t the best but that’s what makes the machine so different and great. The MPC and ASR is a dope combo. It makes it so much easier to chop samples on the ASR than the MPC. Either machine is great as standalone. It really has been a part of my sound for years. Making beats in the DAW just doesn’t sound the same to me.
@@evoproducer Yeah man I totally get that. I think I lost a lot of creativity when I sort of ended up doing music only in the box. I am on a mission to get back to doing beats on hardware. Your vid is a good inspiration for that, thank you. And yeah, just from I have heard on this video, you have a great sound.
I really regret selling mine back then,I had Bought it in 94 saved up to buy it at Mannys Music In NYC. best piece of gear.I paired it with a SP1200 a sick combo.
Nice video bro. I just copped a Tascam Model 12 about 3 weeks ago for the 8 outs of my MPC 5000. I have watched many videos about the mixer. To my understanding, it isn’t possible to print the mixes from the Tascam straight to DAW. Only to SD recording on the unit itself. Unless you found a hack? Lol. I have asked many users of the M12 and was told everything only tracks into DAW dry. Either way, loving the classic setup. That’s peace!
The model 12 is a beast and has so many routing capabilities. I believe there are settings that will allow you to capture the mix pre or post comp, eq, and all that. I have been using the SD feature a lot lately. End of each week I have been dumping the stems into pro tools and then arranging the beat in there.
@@evoproducer Most definitely! Haven’t had much time to dig into it yet. Meantime I have been watching many tutorials on the unit. That thing is a beast. I just wish it was Analog+digital. But I look forward to trying a new workflow tracking inside the mixer and having fun with it. I just hope the sound is still fat verses going into DAW. Gonna tap in tonight finally. Peace! Love your setup too. ASR/MPXL combo is a Monster!
If needed I will bounce to pro tools and keep building. Everything is synced so while pro tools plays my asr and mp will follow the midi clock. Hope that helps.
Nice
🙌🏽🙌🏽 appreciate it
I remember working with the sp1200 and tracking it on a 4 track cassette it was insane how good the sound was

I think you have a very fire set up and I can’t wait to see more.
I appreciate the support and thank you for tunin in! New cook up drops this Sunday!
Awesome video bro!!. You are dope man

i just hook my model 12 up .i love it . hook up on my mpc live 2 . got juno ds on my mpc live 2. you are dope
The Tascam is dope because you can route the board so many diff ways.
@@evoproducer exactly 💯 have you ever used it recorder & what you think. It like back in the days
Yea I’ve messed with it a few times. Now I run each channel through my Apollo so I can tweak it more with Apollo neve unison preamps

love the set up bro. fire 🔥

Dope, Let me know what you think 🙌🏽
@@evoproducerdope video, the mixer setting for the main outs was great idea. Helps to leave a neutral reference too I think so def taking that!
@NinoTritone def! Just a spare channel lol

Damn! You gotta get another one! And SP1200 def a killer combo! Esp for the effects
More asr videos please !!
Will do! 🙌🏽 anything specific you want me to talk about the ASR?

Man imagine having a MPC 2000XL in 1992 paired with a Ensoniq ASR-10... 🤯🤩🤯
The classic Kanye setup 🙌🏽🙌🏽 though he was pairing it with the 2000 as well but basically same machine 🥁🥁🥁
@@evoproducer Yeah I have a MPC 2K myself.
@illreel5169 beautiful machines 🥁🥁
Back in 92 producers probably paired up the ASR with the MPC 60
@JEFFMAN90 they pretty much paired it with any MP. Any combo is powerful 🙌🏽
That PAUSE moment was craaaazy 😂😂😂 good vid tho
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I feel it deff add a roundness to the sound of the gain stagin is done right.
What happens/how do you manage when you need more than 8 tracks?
If needed I will bounce to pro tools and keep building. Everything is synced so while pro tools plays my asr and mp will follow the midi clock. Hope that helps.
@ Thats whats up. Thank you.
