Also Check my MPD32 live looping video.

This video was made with FL Studio 7 and the new AKAI MPD24 midi pad controller.

Been making beats and producing hip-hop a while now, Since before (good) software existed for making beats, since way before the MPD24. Since before youtube existed...

A while back I noticed there were hardly any videos on youtube showing the new AKAI MPD24 so I took a few hours to make this one. I wanted to come up with some kinda routine I could perform live if ever I had to play at a beat battle or show/event. It isn't perfect and I know that the pad scratching is kind of cheesy but it was a new trick I recently learned so I ended up using it in this little video. I'm a scratch DJ myself and prefer vinyl over this pad scratching ANY DAY but I was stoked on learning the trick so incorporated it into this little performance. So like I said, it's a cool little trick and nothing more. I know it's not as skillfull as real scratching. No need to state the obvious people.

This video was originally ment for other beatmakers and producers so they can see what the MPD24 can do. I never really thought much of it but then people started eating it up to my surprise. Hopefully it inspires some people. If you want to hear more music check my myspace page and downloads link. Got alot of tracks ands remixes...go check them out.
