virusx360 Posted November 11, 2009 Share 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...

Aiman Posted November 12, 2009 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astat Posted November 12, 2009 Share 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.

JanekZech Posted November 12, 2009 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtrnowak4tkd Posted November 12, 2009 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astat Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Sounds more like the intro to Unconditional by The Bravery than anything else, to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
