Can someone give me a run down of the gear he’s using , beat sounds pretty good
He got a live feel to his music . I can dig it . That board looks like a mackie , not sure . That keyboard is interesting to me but I gotta get one lol
That breakdown at the end was tough. Good shit
From hearing dudes story he’s been around for a minute. Which is a plus if you ask me. He got skills too, that beat was fire. He was rocking that 2500 like a live drum set. Does anyone know what keyboard that is?
cra-zyyyyyyyyyy
That beat was ill. Loved the drums…had a live feeling to it.@ Tony Traxx….he was using a MPC 2500. Just messin with u 🙂
dopeness. strait up. goes for all dat maspyke isht too. THE GONG SHOW!
o he’s using reaper to run his mpc 2500 the vst he’s using is additive drums speakers Behringer TRUTH keyboard is easytype in bulit in mouse
the last beat was way out of key, but the chops on th first beat were nice and was dude drinking wine coolers ?
yes they were wine coolers which is some kiddy shit lol
Smirnoff cases of wine coolers were given to him for free. He has mad free cases of em in the studio. Rod prefers rum (ask him). Think what you want too.. Alcohol is alcohol. lol.
haaaahaaa he beat me lol i dont fuck with anything brown
what kind of keyboard and mixing board was he using ?
Can’t really tell. It’s a controller with 88 weighted keys, but other than that, I can’t say…
Update! I’m sure it’s the Yamah KX8 USB keyboard! I looked at the function keys very close, pulled it up on Yamaha’s site. I’m sure that’s it Tony!
looks like a mackie kinda hard to tell the keyboard is a no name just google keyboard with built in mouse
the board is a Tascam m-3700
cool thanks
SO its not only me who couldnt GET the 1000
i hated that shit pads are shitty like he said he’s telling the truth i just hated the process so i have ableton and reason
Yeah now THIS is a dope vid/post. Peace
Ill ish… big up to Roddy Rod. Been a supporter since the Maspyke days. Salute!
one of the best video posts on here in a minute
low budget!
Low budget is what Hip Hop is about
probably the best video post up on this site. It was shot well, informative and entertaining. Respect to the entire process.
thank you. I appreciate it. Got more videos coming.
Nice video. Dude seems very talented thought I never heard his name before this post.
No doubt, Gadget, keep it up!! Your vids are top of the line..
this go hard! i make beats just like that with this! http://su.pr/2vdxBS
I find that hard to believe…you can sample with that?
dude, “tre.” Is that you acting a fool to that beat in the video for your product? You look like MC Serch’s nerdy little cousin, not that there’s anything wrong with that, but you’re trying to sell a “urban” product after all.
The pads could be an issue on the older MPC1000. But the functionality of the MPC2500 can be achieved on the 1000 using JJOS.
My preference is NI Maschine, Ableton and my Piano.
Dope!!
the fever in ya eye!
Nice shit my man….Who can I speak with regards to doing a video…..I’m am trying to network with as many go getters as I can…..
