GabeMillerMusic surprises us with his mad sampling skills, transforming a humble pedestrian signal into a beastly techno track using the MPC One. Dive into the world of big room EDM with tricks and tips that will have you crafting bangers in no time. Watch as he takes you on a journey from chaotic sound experimentation to sleek synth precision, all while keeping it groovy.
Kicking Off with a Signal
Our boy GabeMillerMusic kicks things off by capturing the sound of a pedestrian signal. Yup, the same beep that guides folks safely across the street now serves as the backbone for a thumping techno anthem. He starts slicing and dicing this sound on the MPC One, something he picked up right after a dance music event. It’s like snatching inspiration from the jaws of the ordinary and spinning it into gold.
"Funny enough, I actually recorded this on my way from a dance music event."
Building the Big Room
"Okay, so then for my next trick, I shall bring in a clap."
Now, Gabe’s not just about that one sound; he’s layering this track up like a boss. We’re talking tonal kicks, rumbling basslines, and synth stabs all meshed together to create the kind of big room EDM vibe that could make the walls of a club sweat. It’s not just throwing sounds at the wall and seeing what sticks; it’s about finding that perfect pocket where everything grooves together. And trust, it grooves harder than my first mixtape.
The Art of Simplification
After laying down the layers, Gabe goes back to basics—stripping down the track to unclutter his soundscape. He realizes his initial chaos was a bit too much and decides to dial it back for a cleaner, more dynamic sound. This dude has the wisdom to know less is sometimes more, and with a few critical tweaks, he finds those polished yet gritty sonic vibes that slap.
"After throwing around a bunch of bass and synth one shots, I ended up making something really busy and determined after the fact that it was too much."
Dialing in the Details
Sound design and mix tweaks are where Gabe really shines. Adjusting pitch bends, adding reverb, and fine-tuning transitions, he’s like a chef reducing a sauce to its essence. A little less of this, a little more of that, and voila—a track that hits just right. It’s the small moves that make the big differences, and Gabe handles them with precision.
An Invitation to Explore
"If you'd like some more MPC one either beatmaking or techno, I've got you covered with these videos up over here."
As the video wraps, Gabe isn’t just showing off; he’s inviting you to dip your toes into the MPC life. His enthusiasm for the versatility of the MPC One is contagious, suggesting that whether you’re into beatmaking or techno, there’s a world of possibilities waiting for you. Gabe signs off promising more content to keep those creative juices flowing.
