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...

I've been trying to track down an inexpensive MPC myself for a few months now.

 

If anyone has any help/suggestions I'd appreciate it.

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.

i like the pink guitar in the back ground. nice to see mike is experimenting with different colours. :P

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. :P

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.
