    It’s for me, for my own pleasure. Quite cool isn’t it? 🎬🦸🏼‍♀️
    Counting the days for my gear to arrive and in the min time I consume all the technical knowledge I can. You provide it so good and understandable. Great 🪁. Wish my luck and have a beautiful day/ Maria Hjortfalk 🪁🇸🇪🕵🏻‍♀️

    Thanks for showing us how to use the Oxygen Pro, there is definitely a lack of M-Audio Oxygen Pro tutorial and demo videos on UA-cam. Your instruction is clear and concise. I am using Studio One with Oxygen Pro 49, there is almost no videos about this combination.

    Nice! I just learned how to copy bars in MPC Beats. Haha. You right-click the sequence section, and you can double, and so forth. This is what I came here for. I didn't really know how to do this, from what I remember since using this software since late 2022. Now, I just want to learn how to use the looper page. People don't really explain that much. I'm trying to make loops like regular loopers do. Shalom. :3

    Awesome as usual Doug. Fingers crossed that you're going to do more how-to's on MPC beats. I use Studio One normally but MPC really puts the focus on providing a quick and easy workspace for making beats... while still keeping so many features that a professional daw should have! Cheers mate!!

    Nice demonstration of MPC beats. Would you show us how to build a more complex song, with a chorus and verse, maybe even an intro and extro. Some thing melodic and even show how the Mini-pro can generate the chords to back the melody? Eventually I want to create backing tracks that I can Triger the various sections of an instrumental song with my e-drum kit by assigning midi Triger note or CC's from my e-drum pads to MPC beats. Thank you.

    • @DSoundman
      @DSoundman  2 роки тому +1

      Thanks! You should be able to use the fundamentals in this video to build your full beat in a shorter number of bars and then extend the length of your sequence to a full length song and use the track mutes to create your intro, verse, chorus, etc. Using chord mode is a good idea! I will give some thought to a more complex how to video!

    Hi Doug, thank you for this wonderful video. However I am having trouble in producing sounds using keys in mpc beats. It seems I am not able to get the proper settings to be able to use my keys to play along with the pads. Currently it is just mapping the sounds to pad. Do you know what settings change I should be doing in order to play using both pads and keys?

    Hey Douglas on your oxygen pro mini can you select a different scale aside from the usual major/minor? I see you can access harmonic minor and other exotic scales in your video explaining the smart scale feature but on your chord mode tutorial it looked like it only gave you the choice for major/minor.
