    Dear Ave,
    I think there is nothing you need to explain for.
    Your work is always shown reflected and professional.
    Thanks to your work, I have fun with my Versalab mv-1 and the oxygene-Keyboard since about three weeks, and I love this kit (I went for the 49 keys).
    Wishing you all the best and thank you again for your passionate and professional work.

    Hey DJ Ave, you've put in the work and Akai recognizes that. I'm sure they sent the MPC X SE to mainstream producers too, but obviously you and a selecte number of other content creaters were sent one based on your consistency in generating quality content that has caused the MPC awareness/ community to grow tremendously. Big-ups to you for addressing the discgruntledness, but to those of us that didn't reeally get into the muck and mire, we get it, but it wasn't necessary. Keep doing what you do, you are appreciated.

He holds back all the info I know he knows, just to get the kickback from this company. You're honest, you have your passion into this before the youtube $$ ..for as little as they are, right? Your payoff is knowing you're speaking what you really think, and because of that your offering a lot a good advice to us. Kep up the great work man.

    Hey Ave, dig your videos. Maybe what people ain’t really sayin is times are tough right now. Rents are high, food and gas prices are high and the average punter can’t really afford the likes of the new MPC. I havé à bit of gear at home like Maschine Mk3 and MPC Studio, mixing in Ableton. I’m a singer songwriter so for me these gadgets are amazing because it’s like having a whole funk rnb band in my home. I guess like any product put out by the big brands, you have to weigh up if 1) you can afford it and 2)do you really need it. I pretty much have all I need to make songs. Now it’s down to my creativity and talents to make it. Good luck to all creators out there, keep making music but only buy what you can afford!!

Thank you for that. I own Nine different MPC's all purchased since MPC Beats was released, Akai (in My Opinion) Should do more for People like you (w/o broadcasting it) because I know they know how much revenue they receive due to your continent !!

    I have been watching this whole Akai/E A Ski/Andy Mack/Insight thing unfold for the past week and change. Everybody has their good and valid points. I just watched the E A Ski vid that this vid addresses, and I did take note that E A is clearly reacting to a comment you left about him from one of the many vids on this controversy. I was wondering if you were aware of that? Maybe a reach out to E A would be good, to clarify the tone of that comment.
    I, for one, have never felt you were a shill, and I have seen you-multiple times-call out companies for their products, including Akai. All these bad feelings are unfortunate. Hopefully soon we can all feel better about this whole thing.

My videos personally never meant to divide anyone either. I just felt like it is not for me at that price point- and not needed by myself, I have the key 61 (hey there was this same kind of thing last year when everyone was getting on about it's the same as an MPC with a keyboard). You gotta do what you gotta do - and you love what you love. I have bought things that I love - and they may not be everyone else's cup of tea (as they say).
    You have always been a respectful dude - and I would never call you fake, and I feel like I know you well enough to speak on your authenticity. I mean how many influencer's / youtubers have you ever known that straight up called you and tried to help you work through an issue - just to be a friend??
    I can say Ave is a legit good person and he has always given his thoughts for you to make a better decision. Even with his own products Ive never felt like he was pushing us (his viewers) to do or buy anything.
    In the end - you know what's right for you - don't let negativity fuel your fire. Let your conscience, your research, and your needs be your guide.

      What you mean by upgrade the sound? Do you have a MPC X SE? Have u played with the Air-Flavor Pro, Air- LoFi plugin Air- Compressor & Air- Limiter plugin on the MPC X SE? U can get the MPC X SE to hit harder and sound warmer than all those vintage MPCs. The 3000, 2000xl and the 4000 all had effects inside them that producers used to make those MPCs sound good. They didn’t mix those sounds dry inside those vintage machines. They all added compression to those drums before they exported them out. Now why it’s a bad thing for us to use effects on the MPC X SE for it to sound good also? The MPC X SE sounds phenomenal. An I had all those vintage MPCs 3000, 2000xl, 4000, 1000, 2500 and the MPC studio and this new MPC X SE is the best. U can make anything sound how u want it to sound with all those awesome effects on the MPC X SE

Whereas the dry sound of an MPC One is the same dry sound of an MPC X SE, X, Live II, and 61 Key. Yet they are priced significantly different. Due to varied i/o's, buttons, memory, and other non-sound bs. That isnt OP's opinion or mine. That is a fact. WTF you said doesnt negate that fact. So wtf was the point?

    Ave Mcree. I did buy the MPC X SE myself. I am extremely happy with the MPC X SE. I have been speaking out about the new MPCs and what we have gained. Yes definitely AKAI could improve them. I have owned older MPCs 3000 and 2000. Who cares. All of the MPCs are great and have there own place. Also not everyone only makes rap and hiphop music with MPCs. I have been making music since 1980s. I have recorded and been part of albums in several genres. The newer MPCs are wonderful tools for putting together ideas, songs, beats, rhythms, vocals, field recordings and layered samples.
    AVE, I totally think that you have put in the work and the time as a content creater.. I feel like there are some people getting really bent out of shape because they think AKAI should follow their orders. Well they are not the only artists making music with Akai instruments including the MPCs. Sure I do believe AKAI definitely could give a little more for the money in both better converters and RAM, 8GB would have been right sized. But I say try to find another sampler that offers as much as MPC as a standalone device, in my opinion you will not find one. I love the MPC X SE. I have no regrets.

      @EverettDudgeon138 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      "Also not everyone only makes rap and hiphop music with MPCs." I think his is a point that a lot of people are missing. The MPC was developed as a songwriting tool for the home based musician, much like how the original Linndrum was. Same with any drum machine or sequencer or sampler or workstation really. The idea that a tool is exclusive to only a specific genre of music or type of artist is completely ignorant.
      I mostly got positive feedback on my work with the ISLA S2400 but I did get a few "You don't do beats, you shouldn't have this." or "You're using it wrong." The hell?

    Should not have to explain yourself. Regardless of how hyped a product is we as the consumer still need to do our research. My first MPC is the One and your vids helped for me and surely for others. My first sampler was a ZOOM Sampletrack ST-224 and a TASCAM multitrack tape recorder a long time ago then went to FL Studio. Like others are saying, do you and don't worry about what others say.

    TBH, saying that someone is just "mad coz they didn't get sent an MPC X SE" pretty much says it all - it's like you think it's all about getting free stuff and anyone that doesn't is somehow lesser, even when the "mad" person has been making actual records since the golden era and isn't even in the "influencer" game. It's literally the same machine in a different case (that harkens back to when Akai was actually Akai) that you had the task of hyping up. That's shilling.
    "Hardware" isn't harware anymore.

    When Iamsight posted his initial MPC X SE video I commented on it that it was just a blatant Akai commercial. We got into a discussion and it ended up on my part that in the end, it’s perfectly fine by me to be a tool of the industry but you’ve got to be transparent and honest about it. And this is my point, some of these content creators seem to forget about that sometimes.
    Which is where I think E-A-Ski actually has a point. And mind you, I disagree with him on this whole discussion about MPC's sound quality, although I appreciate he brought it up.

Or We can cheat the listeners and the youth AND TELL THEM this is the best sound. IT WOULD BE SO SIMPLE IF YOU SAY ....This MPC is Good, BUT IN NO WAY DOES IT SOUND BETTER Than a REAL MPC. Period. FYI: That way AKAI WILL get it self together and make a real MPC instead of MILKING THE COMMUNITY SELLING FOOLS GOLD.

    I think both sides are entitled to their opinion. Sound is subjective and I don't have any issue with people disagreeing, just don't make it personal.
    With that being said, content creators have a responsibility to clearly imform people they are sponsored...that is a requirement. Then people can make their own decision if it is a commercial or honest feedback.

  • @DannyBeigal
    @DannyBeigal ปีที่แล้ว

    I think the expectation of the MPC X-SE was hyped up, with the leaks and the rumors and the 3.0 talk that it fell flat on what it ended up being.
    As far as the sound discussion. Hopefully Akai is hearing the community and can give us a future MPC with access to the gritty warm sounds of the boom bap era with also the cleaner sound of today as that would truly satisfy the community of MPC consumers.
    One thing I can appreciate through all the talk going on right now is that all beatmakers on TH-cam (who choose the weigh-in on the subject) are talking a lot about their journeys/experiences and who they are more than they normally share with viewers.
    For instance, I didn’t know that Ave came back within the recent years after not having an MPC since the 2000XL. That’s sort of like me… except for me it was the 2000, not the XL.

    I think this is a tempest in a teapot.
    Older MPCs have a sound characteristic of the electronics available in the day. Newer MPCs have a sound characteristic of the electronics available now. Newer devices sound cleaner (more neutral) than the older ones. You can bit crush, FX, pedal, or offline FX, the new machines to sound like the old ones if you’re so motivated to do so.
    The same situation exists for keyboards and synths past and present.

    I watched Ski's video, and He basically is telling you that you have not had hit records so there for know your place and stick to being a youtuber. He says He loves youtubers like Bolo but they haven't had mainstream success. Now on that spicific comment that includes Bolo, Ski is incorrect because Bolo has had mainstream success, a few platinum records. Ofcourse that dont comper to Ski's hit records but still its mainstream success. As for Akai giving TH-cam content creators the MPC X vs Those producers who have had hit records using a MPC well Akai is just focusing on TH-cam because it's a great way to advertise there products to normal people.
