So my wife let me get a Roland P-6 for Christmas and its an amazing little beatmaking/groovebox device. I like it a lot, and I take it to work with me everyday now. It came with the case for the AIRA devices, and its easy to throw into my backpack and keep it pushing. I can pull it out on my lunch break and connect it to my phone via USB-C and pull down samples from my Google Drive and sample them into the P-6. It works very well and it is a lot of fun to use.
I actually took it to the neighborhood Starbucks and a guy started talking to me about it. He told me that he collects older model MPCs and we exchanged Instagrams. I have a couple of cool beats going on my P-6 now, but I need to find the time to work on it more often. It’s hard when you’re tired after work and just want to rest at home. I’d love to just be a content creator on Youtube and make good money that way.
My Youtube channel is not monetized yet, so my videos don’t earn me any money at all. I need to find the time to work on my thumbnails, and make my videos have a better polish and shine to them than they do right now. I want to engage the audience, and make them WANT to watch my videos when it comes into their feed. I was thinking that maybe focusing on the P-6 in a series of videos would help me do that.
The P-6 isn’t as “talked about” as the modern MPCs or SP 404 mk2 from Roland. Sure people like sunwarper post videos about it from time to time, but if I did a dedicated series of me making music on it, maybe it could get me some more traction and help my channel grow some more. I think doing different series on certain devices would help my channel and get me more views. We’ll see if I can find the time and energy to do so, but hopefully I can. Anyways, til next time!
