MPC Beatmaking
The video below on MPC Beatmaking is short and to the point. It takes you all the way from starting your beat to mastering and putting the finishing touches of your masterpiece.
The Akia MPC series is a great sampler and drum machine and you can get lots of feel in your tracks because the device is very hands on.
The best way I have found to learn MPC skills is to jump on YouTube and watch about 100 tutes that people post every day. If you do this a lot you will start to make some wicked beats and then a few top producers might even make you an offer!
