Owned my mpc studio for a few days now and this is by far the best guide I've seen! There's a ton of useful information in this video and I will certainly double and triple back to master what you have taught. Amazing job!
I am glad to say that I am not the only one feeling that the better work process is to have the filters placed on later during the song making process . This equipment has made it so much easier to accomplish thank you accurate and thank you for your excellent video.
I can't find any useful videos on how to actually use the Touch Strip FX and how to apply them. I can make entire beats without using the touch strip because I don't know how it works. I'd love a video on that!
Hey, quick question. When you went into the step sequencer how do you allow the step sequencer to go past 1 bar? As well as the yellow grid isn’t showing for me so a little confused. Thanks though!
Hi, once FX are inserted into channels and some parameters have been assigned to Q links, pad number + touch strip, is it possible to jump from any MPC window to a given FX to modify the parameter just using the controller? Thank you.
@@producerdata It’s a good instructional video. Logic Pro X has more sounds that all of these devices and their software. I lived in Brazil, and Logic literally has every Brazilian drum and instrument under the sun for samba. I plug my Push 2 into Logic, and it populates all 64 pads with the various Brazilian or Latin drums or keys. This is a nice device though. I’ve got the MPC One. I need the MPC Live II.
awesome video the only problem is that im old asf and they say your never old to learn new stuff well this is one of them. So, I feel I've got a limited time to learn I'm not new to this but stopped everything of beat production and rap when i was 20 years old so i kind of feel old lol thanks for this video one of the best out there... I am now 27 and feel like I lost a lot I would like to go live with anyone commenting in here and learn together just to pass time.
I hope you are NOT serious? 27yrs is old! Maybe if you were trying to be pop star or whatever- the Major labels like younger to make as much money off of you as possible throughout the years..But, to make music and release music, write songs for others, etc- YOU ARE NOT TOO OLD! If you do some research you'll find that most...if not all songwriters behind the scenes and those songs everyone's favorite artists sing- come from "OLD" writers. Get yourself together and start making music, you can learn as you go. If you don't believe in yourself, nobody will take you serious. BTW I'm a 42 yr old Songwriter/Lyricist and Producer.
Yes u would need a interface though but technically it might be easier with utube just to get a addon in Firefox that downloads utube audio or one on your phone
Firstly I am new to this so be gentle! This is probably a stupid question but I purchased an MPC one yesterday which comes with MPC 2.0 can I control the MPC 2.0 the same as this does from the MPC one or do I need to buy the MPC Studio? I haven't rigged anything up yet as I am waiting on my new Laptop to turn up all help much appreciated. 👍😁
the mpc you are referring to is a standalone unit, you do not need a pc to even use it as the DAW is built in. If you are serious I would watch actual MPC One reviews and videos instead of MPC Studio II videos
A great deal of its capabilities aren't made the most of in Ableton, we'd recommend a workflow that uses the MPC software in conjunction with Ableton as we show in the video in order to get the most out of it!
Cubase has a MIDI Devicr setup page for custom configuration of practically any MIDI Controller. There's also the concept of *MIDI Learn* most Digital Audio Workstations are capable of doing.
When I'm exploring samples/programs in the browser window, I can't hear the sample unless I load it in a pad even when I have the "play" button activated in the browser. Any suggestions on how to fix that?
Why you cannot navigate step sequencer from MPC like other MPC's (standalone) ? Why you need to click with mouse on Bar + and Bar -? Srsly I feel like throwing this to a trash now...after unpacking.
Can you control the FPC with it inside FL? Or just load 3rd party samples on it? And can you access the sounds in the MPC software and play them with a conventional MIDI keyboard?
I found this machine very hard to organize an entire livest. You guys are thinking the same? Its workflow it's not so good for live situation, I think it does a good work in the studio
I really like your video, but I don't recommend the French translation because on the one hand, it prevents you from viewing the manipulations and, on the other hand, it's absolutely distorted. I guess you didn't realize it, but the translation uses horrible words that don't mean anything. If I just read the text I might wonder what subject you are talking about. It's abherent so if you can't find a better translator it would be better to abstain.
@@MS7.7 I can tell you have no experience MPC's This is a rip-off and going backwards fot279$ Ican get thw MPC STUDIO 1 and make a beat with the computer monitor turned off.The mk2 for the same price can only do 30 40 percent Monitor has to be on..For all that I'd rather get the MPD 232 for 15o$ and still works better..
@@larrytan73 You are correct. It's my first and I have MPK mini mk III. I was looking into other MPCs but idk man for a beginner I don't have a problem maybe later on I will find it's limitations by myself which is better way for myself to actually learn. You guys with alot of experience knows what's up so you don't even need to bother about these new devices. But I will consider your choice.

Thank you. I learned a lot. 👍 You can press " Play Start " instead of "
You should be a teacher in one these Colleges, or Universities;You are a great Teacher!
Thank You for the Detailed explanations.
I concur. I've seen a few other videos looking for an easy to understand tutorial and this is it!

that "double stop" made my day 🤣🤣
Bro, thank you for the tutorial. I just received my MPC board, and i can't wait to start creating.
Love how you can make fun of yourself and still get the job done! Great Job
Tip of the hat to the editor on this vid, great stuff
Very good, very informative and straight to the point 🙂
Dope video man, thanks for the tips.
This is so useful! thank you so much
i'm still deciding between mpc and mascine mikro... i'm pending to mpc because i had a akai mini before . But great video thanks
Awesome tutorial! 😊 Subbed! 😊 I just ordered this controller so looking forward to try it out. 😊
Just got mine today. 🎉
Great tutorial
How easy does this jook up with reason and or N.I
switching between the bars with controller would be very nice.
Ty saving this . Just bought one of these SUPER CHEAP. This is gonna be helpful
Best tutorial well explained ❤ Cheers 🇵🇱🤜🤛
I use this with Ableton more than MPC..maybe I should try it
well done great video lots of tips thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Just bought this this week. Can you acutally sample from an external source?
Great vid …but how can I use with an iPad Pro please . ? Thankyoy
Thank you for this great tutorial
Thank you for this video..I ask you if this Akai works easily with Ableton live 12..thanks in advance

Watch at 49 minute mark for touchstrip, or even better watch the whole video.
Amazing detail
gonna get on!
Does the MPC studio works as a midi controller? If so what are the limitations and features when used as midi controller?
Great video btw, appreciate all the knowledge!
this is a great, informative, and hilarious video - thanks!
Great work ❤
Awesome!!! Thank you very much!!
Thank you 4 this!!!
Yes!
Great Video, thanks a lot 😊
Glad to help 😄
Very informative and entertaining 👏
I want to connect a midi controller (Alesis) to the program, can I do that?
yes
Really informative! Thanks so much 😎

Does it automatically quantitze? Havent set mine up yet
Will this work at all in Logic Pro x?
Nice 🔥🔥

You rock!
2:28 Can't figure out how to change it from one bar to four bars. I think it has to do with some kind of feature that's called doubling bars,
its easy its in the seq, settings just dub or half it
double tapp !!!

I absolutely love how corny this video was while actually teaching me how to use the device! Gave me some good laughs lol
lmao when he layers the kicks.... YEAAAAHHHH BOYYYY

It wasn’t corny.

What kind of computer are u using
Can this control Ableton? Drum Racks?
Hope someone can help me with the next doubt:
Can I sample stuff from TH-cam or Spotify using this MPC ?
Yes u would need a interface though but technically it might be easier with utube just to get a addon in Firefox that downloads utube audio or one on your phone
use youtube to mp3 converter and then drag in to mpc software

I believe there’s a controller mode that allows you to do that
@@EZ-nc8fr Thank you there is 😃🙏
@@nottjonforest No problem ✌️. I would suggest to check out Ave McCree’s channel for tips and tricks on how to use the MPC.
@@EZ-nc8fr Thak you kindly will do.🙏
New at this
can it control 3rd party soft synths without using the mpc software? i want to use it as an external; controller for other drum software.
no
Can this work with ableton?
A great deal of its capabilities aren't made the most of in Ableton, we'd recommend a workflow that uses the MPC software in conjunction with Ableton as we show in the video in order to get the most out of it!
yes as an instrument
The step sequencer mode on this controller is useless without a bar change button
Hi, can I use Touch Slider to record controller data into my DAW? (i.e. record expresion data to control dynamics of String sounds?) Thx
Cubase has a MIDI Devicr setup page for custom configuration of practically any MIDI Controller.
There's also the concept of *MIDI Learn* most Digital Audio Workstations are capable of doing.
when i use the akai mpk 261 and i want the MPC Studio also, do i connect the mpc studio in the mpk 261 ? thx BM
Just connect both devices to your computer via their USB connections :)
@@GetintheMix ..thx..🙃
how does it work with Ableton? please tell me it does :(
as an instrument
When I'm exploring samples/programs in the browser window, I can't hear the sample unless I load it in a pad even when I have the "play" button activated in the browser. Any suggestions on how to fix that?
Nevermind, tracked it down!

notice how they didn't respond ? This is trash but dont take my word!
yes you can
HHAH forgot to say about practicing 1.5 hrs a day to master timing and beat pads for 3 weeks.
