Let's attempt to make a beat using these devices! MPC One Plus, Arturia MiniLab 3, BOSS Loopstation

By Paul Perez

In late 2024 and early 2025, I spent three months at home due to a work injury. During this time, I bought an MPC One Plus, an Arturia Minilab 3 keyboard, and an RC-505 MK II Loopstation, among other equipment. Why did I choose music production? It’s a creative outlet I had experimented with before.

At home with my hurt foot. December 2024.

I was inspired by Marc Rebillet, a musician known for his improvisational performances, and I enjoyed watching his livestreams on YouTube. He performed in public on various streets in New York, and I found it very entertaining. I thought to myself, "That’s so cool! I can do that." While I’m not particularly interested in performing outdoors, I wanted to create music spontaneously. This motivated me to find equipment similar to what he uses in his videos.

I’ve been practicing on and off since early this year, and this is the first video I’ve published where I’m putting some of that knowledge into practice.

Here's my beatmaking video.

Fantastic Four: First Steps-Out of the Theater Quick Review

Jason and I give our quick review of Fantastic Four: First Steps. We both gave it a rating of 7.9/10 . We praise the movie’s stunning production design, visuals (especially Galactus and The Thing), and soundtrack. Pedro Pascal stood out as Reed Richards, and the Silver Surfer was a highlight. While the film lacked some character depth and suspense, we still considered it the best Marvel movie of the year so far — surpassing Brave New World and Thunderbolts. There were two post-credit scenes: one worthwhile, one forgettable. Here's our out of the theater review A longer podcast spoiler review is coming soon.

Weapons Movie Review-Was it better than Barbarian?

YouTube Video Weapons by Zach Cregger was a solid horror film, especially for fans of face mutilation and suspense. While the twist didn’t fully land for me, the movie picked up after a slow start and became quite engaging. I really enjoyed the eerie electronic score during tense moments and thought the cast was strong—The characters and actors playing Gladys and Alex were standout performances. The multi-perspective storytelling around 17 missing kids added depth, and I liked how it wrapped up. Not as strong as Barbarian , but still a very good film—I'd give it a 7.5 out of 10. Please post your thoughts, comments, down below. Find more of my movie reviews here.
