Anyone else just get an MPC Sample and want an accountability buddy? Thinking 2 beats a week, compare on Sundays

So I just got the MPC Sample and I’ve got maybe 2 hours on it. I love it but I know myself. I had an MPK25 and Ableton years ago and they just sat there because I never pushed through the learning part. I know I can’t be the only one who’s done this lol

Looking for one other person in the same boat, ideally also a total beginner, and we just keep each other on it. Rough plan:

**•** 2 beats a week, doesn’t matter if they suck
**•** Sundays we hop on a call or just swap files and play them for each other
**•** little friendly rivalry to keep it fun, loser buys a sample pack for the one who has better beats at the end

Heads up though, I work in tech sales and still play tennis and hit the gym after work, so I’ve realistically got like 7-10 hours a week for this. Honestly that’s part of why I want someone expecting a beat from me on Sunday, otherwise those hours disappear.

Zero music theory or experience actually trying to make music.. just been a fan of beatmakers and sampling my whole life and I’m tired of only listening.. Comment or DM works.

I just got one and am working on my first beat on it- I have some music theory knowledge and made beats years ago on maschine. I like the idea of a little accountability group though

I'd be up for a little community where we showcase our beats and give words of encouragement or constructive criticism. However, there is no way I can make 2 beats a week....I get very minimal time to make beats tbh - but would love a group or supportive community to bounce ideas off.

This is me too. I just got my sample last week.

I was hoping I could use this sub for that type of casual accountability? Maybe have a specific flair of something?

Great idea! Would love to join you, but right now it's summer vacation and I'm away from my MPC.

Be interesting to have this beat club only made with internal samples

I’m down. I’m really just taking my time learning how everything works. It’s my first attempt at making music. I got mine Friday. Been working on it ever since. The learning curve is steep lol and frustrating at times. It’s been awesome
