    i noticed you use alesis vi25 pads on another video... comparing to akai 218, what could you say about them?

    • @FATCAP
      @FATCAP  4 роки тому +1

      They are very different, akai pads are more sensitive. It has pros and cons but, at the end, I would choose akai pads. And thank you very much!

      Lowfi dari you can turn its velocity up so that no matter how hard you hit it it’ll still be loud, it’s a setting on your DAW and it can work on any midi

    What advice would you be able to give a noob that's just starting out beat making when it comes to finger drumming and where to begin learning how to to do it? Like the 101 starting point to build from?

    • @FATCAP
      @FATCAP  7 років тому +2

      Well, that's a great question hahaha
      First of all, the best thing you can do about finger drumming is practising. Watch some tutorials about basic rythms and tricks and then practice. Even if you dont have the controller (AKAI, maschine, whatever), you must practice rythms with your fingers. If you do that, you will notice the improvements very soon.
      In terms of beatmaking I consider myself a noob too. Watch tutorials, performances and the more important thing: listen to the best beatmakers: J Dilla, Madlib, Riddle... That gives you a perspective. Also, it's fundamental to listen to original samples (from 60's, 70's, 80's...)
      Thats all I can tell you, I hope I have been helpful !
      Keep in touch

    • @Brokeninc
      @Brokeninc 7 років тому

      Thank you! The finger drumming know how is mostly what's holding me back. Noob huh? I like what you are doing. I find it very impressive.

    • @FATCAP
      @FATCAP  7 років тому +2

      Yeah, it requires a lot of practice... In a kind of way it's like playing the piano. Don't give it up.Thank you so much! I will upload more videos like this

    How do you actually record your own beat? Just got my AKAI MPD218. Brand new to it, and I'm literally lost in actually knowing the software.

    • @FATCAP
      @FATCAP  5 років тому

      I did it with an external recorder:

      You can use ableton or an internal recorder, but for me its easier in the other way

      katoxori 89 chopping on ableton live is very intuitive. maschine software too. however I usually do it on fl studio because Ive been using it a few years and I work faster
