virusx360 Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 Mike has updated his blog with a post on his MPC, but he's included a video you can view here as well. "A few of you have asked about my process when it comes to making beats. I don't really have a "process," but I currently have been doing a lot on my MPC, so I figured I'd throw a little demo together. I tend to try to combine gear to get a cool sound. In this one, all the gear I used was pretty basic and reasonably-priced; simple stuff you can buy at Guitar Center or whatever. Enjoy. PS: I'm growing my hair out. I know it looks awesome right now. I think it's exactly the same haircut I had in elementary school." Astat mentioned in a comment that "MPCs were used for a lot of the sample-based stuff on Hybrid Theory and Meteora actually, they just moved away from that somewhat on Minutes to Midnight. I remember Mike mentioning once that the majority of My December was written/recorded on an MPC." Cool! I think he could do a lot of amazing instrumental stuff with it... Quote
LPPRJKT4 Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 Whoa Mike's room is the same color as mine!! I feel special lol. Quote

rsw2010 Posted November 12, 2009 Posted November 12, 2009 wow, kinda epic. I may have had a "HT flashback" while he was playing that thing. Quote
Aiman Posted November 12, 2009 Posted November 12, 2009 I hope Mike makes more of these "raw" unedited videos. Don't get me wrong, I love LPTV, but it's cool to see Mike do this kinda stuff. Quote
AusNeil Posted November 12, 2009 Posted November 12, 2009 i like the pink guitar in the back ground. nice to see mike is experimenting with different colours. Quote
Astat Posted November 12, 2009 Posted November 12, 2009 i like the pink guitar in the back ground. nice to see mike is experimenting with different colours. That's the Hello Kitty guitar he played on From the Inside at Weenie Roast in 2007. I also spy his orange PRS, a black Les Paul, and a white Strat. Quote

kidOhri Posted November 12, 2009 Posted November 12, 2009 i've always loved this huge painting mike has there in his studio... and since i'm learning lots of recording/audio stuff at college, now, i find myself sitting starry-eyed in front of the pc everytime i see all this amazing stuff! Quote

1996_LP Posted November 12, 2009 Posted November 12, 2009 Thats awesome, I hope to see more vids like this in the future Reminds me of the live version of "Valentines Day" hehe Quote
Michelbeats Posted November 12, 2009 Posted November 12, 2009 MPC's rullezz Cool to see Mike gettin' down on the MPC I'm rockin' the MPD24 Quote
JanekZech Posted November 12, 2009 Posted November 12, 2009 Wow, some sick stuff. Although I don't really see how some people can compare this to My December and Hybrid Theory. IMO it sounds more like it could be from the new album. Quote
gtrnowak4tkd Posted November 12, 2009 Posted November 12, 2009 from the way mike was describing the new album as hardcore tecno this is what it sounds like. It sounds totally like techno almost reminds me of Rammstein a bit lol. Quote
Astat Posted November 12, 2009 Posted November 12, 2009 Sounds more like the intro to Unconditional by The Bravery than anything else, to me. Quote
