My Hardware Workflow: How I Start Every Song on My Album

In this first episode of Album Mode, I take you through my entire hardware workflow and explain why the Akai MPC 2000 is the brain of my studio. I break down how all of my synths are routed, why I’m using three different MPCs in my setup, and then put the workflow to the test by starting a brand new track from scratch while walking you through my creative process. If you’re into music production, hardware samplers, synths, and seeing what it really takes to build an album from the first idea all the way to vinyl, subscribe and follow the journey.
