- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 13 มิ.ย. 2024
- A video about how to get a real AKAI MPC workflow inside of FL Studio using the MPC Beats software! Its a free software available on Windows and MacOSX and work in all DAWS as a VST. However, you can only use it once inside of your DAW (and I'll show you ways around that limitation). Now you can get those hard hitting drums, Flawless sample chopping features, and free sounds to work with losing FL Studio amazing piano roll.

This video is 7 different tutorials with time stamps. I forgot about one thing. You can send multiple outs to FL Studios mixer. Meaning you can do whatever you want in the MPC beats software, use Fruity Loops piano roll for whatever, and still track out your beats in the FL mixer.
btw shout out to Doswell beat! He said to warp all the pads at the same time go to the drop down tab that have the pad label and select all and then hit warp. And then make sure you hit the drop down again and go back to current
@@AveMcree doswell so cool... Laid back cat...
Its a little weird but you can also use midi out on fl to control each program in mpc beats software too. You can assign each program to a midi channel and port. That way you can still use the FL piano roll.
Hey Ave
First thanks for all of your videos very helpful and motivating for me, already learn a lot from here. I bought your fl file for mpk mini mk3. It works flawlessly with FL but when I'm trying to use it mpc beats as plugin in FL the pads are not working, it tries to trigger fl channel rack in the background. Any tips on this please? Thanks
I am trying to figure out how to send separate kicks, hats, snares from MPB directly to the FL Studio Mixer. Is that what you mean? If so, could you please elaborate? It is literally the only question I have left.
This video is just what I needed. No more FPC lol. Can't believe Akai put this out for free.
I just want to thank you for putting these videos together, I started producing on an MPC in 1998, my father got me an MPC 2000 as a graduation gift and I made so many good songs on it, I upgraded to a 2500 and gradually moved on to producing in DAWs, and did some really great music in them and will continue to use them, but this software is amazing, my father just turned me on to it, the quantitization feels just like the old school MPCs and the work flows very similar, and integrates well with DAWs. I really hope Akai keeps this software up-to-date and continues to add features, and doesn't abandon us.
Thats dope cool ass dad
Ave, It's been a long time since anyone has commented on your Tuts. Let me say that I enjoy your commitment to teaching folks about MC BEATS. Thanks man..
That’s why I love this brother!
He keeps it real!!!!
This is wat metro been doing!
He was making his beats in mpc then put them in fl studio.
Next I want you to bust murda beats as well!
You can actually just click the little export audio button in the UI and then just drag it as a wave right onto the playlist. No exporting to folder required.
I see a lot of tutorials videos of people saving to desktop when its just as simple as clicking the button in top right and dragging it to the daw lol
Keep up the good work Ave. I'm probably one of the only cats on here that's even more old school than you, been at it since about 1984. My first drum machine type device was the Korg KPR-77, and DAWs didn't exist back then. It was either two reel to reel machines, or eventually a four or eight track machine and a mess of synths (I did also have an Ensoniq Mirage sample which made me the ultimate guy to talk to round town.) Just want to say thanks and let you know that there are some of us old geezers out here watching too. Every few years, there is a new way of doing things and a completely new work flow (um gettin to old or this.) You know I'm right. I have a real appreciation for this one that you posted since I have no experience with the newer MPC software. Now just a quick geezer note, an OG call. Back in 1986 I think, but don't quote me, Roger Linn was still pushing Linn Drums, and at that time, they were the Bomb! Couldn't afford that though. My drum machine had bell sounds for cymbals. They don't know how lucky they are to have things the way they are today. Accessible, and relatively cheap. In this case free! Thanks again man. Just subscribed to your channel and will be back again to check in on what you'e doing. Keep up the good work!
To warp all the pads at the same time go to the drop down tab that have the pad label and select all and then hit warp. And then make sure you hit the drop down again and go back to current 👍🏾🙏🏾the video is dope bro good stuff 🔥🔥
Thank you for that! Greatly appreciate it
You tha man!
Great video Ave...Aye Yo Doz..is it possible to just drag the midi or audio to Fl and get the same result?
where is that drop down tab? 😇
Mannnnnnnnnnn you make my day with these videos,And you are right about the all MPC heads with grey hair!!!I'm one of em..I use pretty much everything you use but MPC just keeps me coming back and they have just improved Software wise.Thanks for all the tutorials and videos King...Nuff Respect 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
so glad i found this video. i spent hours trying to find out how to map my akai mpk mini 3 drum pads to the channel rack, but to no avail. this is such a better way to go about my workflow. hella thanks. ✨🚀
This video is point on PERFECTLY demonstrated and explained the way that this mpc software works with FL studio is amazing SHOUT out many blessings to you for sharing your experience and knowledge with the World thank God for people like you
I just want to say this was the first time I've seen one of your videos but man I love it like like you got right to the point everything looks like pretty straight forward you know easy to follow them directions and you just doing a good job man for real for real I've subscribed and everything I'm going to be checking out more
I just downloaded MPC BEATS 🎧 I FREAKING LOVE THIS! I’m bringing another dimension to the chop shop! I’m a huge MPC fan for decades!
Yo needed this my guy you had all the answers i needed on merging MPC with FL thank you brother much appreciated 👊🏻👊🏻🔥🔥🔥
Ave Mcree you have always been so helpful over the years, thank you bro🙏🙏
I’m like a quarter way through this vid and it seems this is the vst I’ve been look for in regards to live looping/sampling 👀
+1 for where the fuck has a straightforward cheap/free MPC VST been all my life.
Had to come back to this video now that I know how to use the mpc software. Super helpful as always.
Man I was just watching a hit boy interview and he uses mpc with fl studio it’s super fun . And that vintage presents like mpc 3000 sounds 🔥🔥. The drums sound and hit better. MPC with fl is unmatched
Legendary video. Thank you for this bro!!! huge help
Learning a lot from this thanks much appreciated
Dude you just put a ever bigger love for this in me!!!!
Been making some fire Techno tracks in this. Thanks for expanding on MPC Beats man.
I’m need to the mpc beats vst and this video was really helpful. 🔥🔥💯💪🏿
This is nice really needed this
So dope, thanks so much for sharing!
yo MPC as a vst is awkward, could never get use to it before lol but your steps helped me out, respect🙏🏾
My pleasure
Thank you so much brother, this was very helpful.
Maaaan! You helped me finally crack the code bro! I appreciate it!
Definitely dope thank you for the information 🙏🏾
Man thanks so much this is what I was looking for in FL and didnt know it existed. Thanks so much. Used to doing it analog and tryna get my main sampler digital because vintage ones keep breaking haha
to follow you step by step from beginning to end on this vid. . . .ive enjoyed using this along with FL. so Sir massive thanks for this vid and also ive saved this vid too :D
Were you able to see the midi in the Chanel rack
I remember hearing about this free daw/vst from you and at first I didn't know what I would need it for but then when I figured out that it can be used as a vst I realized that this is literally perfect for me to have structure to my workflow while inside fl studio, fl is very open and I feel like fl studio gives u lots of freedom ease of use but it's necessary to be able to structure your workflow into things like loops and layers of sounds and then make beats from there rather than just mindlessly experimenting in fl studio which I usually do and that can mean I lose focus on my beats overtime 😃 thanks so much Mcree for introducing this and other free vsts to me they are lifesavers for producers
Just to say I love your vids showing free software 🙌🏾 I got the Vahalla plugins.
Tipc Productions Val-holla
Great vid AVE and U are so right about the history and the culture of Hip Hop production bruh! Started out with am Emax keyboard and cakewalk on a 5 1/2 inch floppy 😂
I watch learn and make music I leave the tutorials to those that are grate at doing what they do basically I stay in my own lane which is making my music still thanks much appreciated keep doing a grate job 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽🔥🔥🔥🔥
thanks
extremely helpful video thank you!
Man Ave, I've been watching you for a couple of years. Every since you got MPC One, I've been looking at Akai. Yeah, I have Native Instruments, but I had to bust out and get the MPD226 this week. It's not the MPC One, but the software and those pads....damn!!!!
muchas gracias , con dos videos tuyos que e visto e aprendido bastante , saludos desde colombia
Solid video bro, very informative. Definitely going to add MPC Beats to my FL workflow. Peace!
my pleasure.. Glad to help
Thank you for the REALNESS
Very big thx for ur tips, we will try it now :)
Is this what I been waiting for ?
aww damn.... thats a game changer for fl studio... big ups on the video
Beat is 🔥
That was 🎯. 👑🔑🎓🌍
THANK YOU! 🙏🏾🙌🏾
I’m old school 🏫 myself. AKAI 💯 I graduated from high school in 1987. I remember my 1st drum 🥁 machine, Roland MC 505 and then the 626, the 707, etc. MPC 2000 and the XL.
Love fl+mpc
That beat in the background is hot af.
Export the stems is a great idea you can do as many tracks as you want as long as the exports measure up with the tempo
you killed it bruh seefu thank you
long time no see... Thanks for dropping by
Good audio quality😄
Another cool way is to build the song in the MPC Beats plugin the export each track then important as stems back into the playlist 😉
How is the swing in MPC Beats? Does it have the bounce and if so how to use it. dope video bro.
Tbh, FL Studio's swing feature is pretty spot on.
One thing I never see mentioned, if you click on the cogwheel on the top of the MPC vst plugin, goto 2nd tab "VST WRAPPER SETTINGS" then Processing tab then click automap outputs or select each stereo out listed to a track on your FL Mixer... then you can route per Pad or Programme to the separate outputs and use FL's mixer and plugins directly and well from there you can do all sorts resample track out etc straight into FL from your MPC Device.
Lets goooo thanks!
AKAI really dropped it NICE when they released MPC Beats.
awesome video thank you for the great information i want to buy the mpc retro will this work with the retro or which mpc do you prefer im a first time buyer
Yo Ave I think I noticed something this morning while I was working. When you warp a slice and see you that lil “120Bpm” light up, I think you’re supposed to input the og bpm of the sample to get it to true time stretch. I may be way wrong though, just something I noticed.
Awesome👍. Pls make more mpc beats tutorials. Do u prefer mpc workflow than maschine? Thanks
New here thank you for your videos very helpful
Absolutely amazing job THANK YOU for this useful video and software link PLUS the training on how to use it this video is FIRE!!!
I pulled up mpc beats in reaper as a vst only because mpc beats don't see my Xpand2 vst which I love so I use it in Reaper #GODMODE
Reaper is undefeated 🔥🤘🏿
Aight ave I'll download this...since I dont have serato sample this could be my go to sampler...learned how to make beats on mpc60 so this will be nostalgic for me lol
I mean it's free
I got to say it. MACHINE is trippin right now. With this software they gonna have to make a move or get out of town. Lol I just downloaded it and already learning some stuff . Thanks Ave .
Excellent Video.!!!
Can I do this in the Fl Studio 12?
Peace.
Blessings for the knowledge and wisdom! Does the mpc 4000 work with this software?
Most important can upload a beat from the mpc 4000 and use this software to make changes to it as well as track out and save it.
That last part so true I will probably do some investing into akai buy a product or 2 from them over the next year or 2 I have bought a few products of akia already so basically I understand using akia products to make my music and show case it is me do me still buying there products is me giving support for the company to stay in business 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Why you spell it like that ?
@@EARART my keyboard correction has it own mind lol thanks tho much appreciated
@@88keyz haha
THE REAL STUFF
@Ave Mcree great video.. How did you get the Mpc to record directly into Fl?? I use the Mpc X and want to play my drums and chord progressions directly into Fl.. How did you set it up to record directly from your Mpc into Fl? I want to record directly into Fl without drag n drop.. or rendering out to WAV.. Thanks for your help and content..
How do you route each pad to it's own mixer track in FL STudio?
I like how it automatically chops for you. Maybe FL Studio does that too, but I'm new to it all. One question though. I seen the sp1200 come up. Did that come free to?
Good stuff! Thanks for sharing this. What's the difference between MPC Beats and MPC Software? I see that one is free and these costs $200. hope you can help me out. Thanks! Keep up the good work
The MPC was made the year I was born The significance and importance of such machine My first time ever using a MPC was the 2000 XL One never forgets the feel and touch of the pads the knobs the workflow of it this is why I love Akai because they have stuck with the same formula and have adapted with time A lot of companies have come and gone since akai's inception even some of the major players like Roland cannot compete with Akai I'm sorry Don't get me wrong Roland has some good shit but akai has it another company I would say that's up there with Akai is Korg with there trition series working with both is very lovely
Man this thing Kicking my Ass! I can't seem too get past the Introduction! Everytime I try too drag a sample too a pad It doesn't show up
Ave, what expansion packs come with MPC Beats?
man this helped me alot! im very used to fruity im glad i can use the mpc software with it!!! but why didnt u exported the mpc plugin as pattern? wouldnt it be easier - its faster u dont have to pull them into fl afterwards also no hdd space used
whats the differenc between mpc beats and mpc2.0 im planning on getting a touch not sure wich one i should use...
How do you activate the pads?
Today project is have my phone next to me following step by step this video with fl and studio one lol 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽😂😆😃🤣😆
Hello, i have a question, that runs in fl studio 12? because when i try scan it in plugins section that not appears, if u can help me, thank you. Good video
Yo Ave, how would you do it in reverse, take fl studio into MPC 2.8 software, I have it active, just need to understand how to get all of the other channels routed?
I just started the video, but does the time stretch/pitch algorithm try to emulate the MPC? Or is there any hardware emulation? I remember seeing something like that in an Akai plugin like this, but it was the paid software.
The time warping algorithm in the MPC software is different (and better ) then the standalone version (meaning the actually hardware unit). It's based after the Elastic algorithm (used in plugins/software like Serato Sample, Melodyne, Ableton Live, etc.)
I did not watch the full video but I will later can I just use my midi keyboard to trigger the pads ? Gonna go crazy with this all night 🔥😁
Yes
None related but shout out to Ave in the frontlines going at these vultures heads always respect..✊🏾
lol aaaaaaaaye
Hey man, how can i remap mpc pads in the mpc plugin?
Oh question HOW do you add vst effects TO the drums inside MPC BEATS?
Ave, please help me. I am a total novice wanting to make boom bap hip hop beat. I am not a musician so I will be 1000% reliant on sampling. I am trying to keep my costs down. I am thinking about the Akai MPC Studio II but there's something else I saw for less called the Akai MPD 218. Will the MPD 218 work seamlessly with FL Studio? In your opinion, what is easier to learn FL or the Akai MPC software. Please help me. Thank you so much and Merry Christmas to you.
yo i installed it but my i dont have mpc live i use ATOM from presonus and my pads do not match my mpc beats pads how do i match it up..can u tell me or make a video how to do so..thankx
Is it possible to drag and drop as a wave from the mpc beats to the fl studio?
Nice video!!! I tried to find a solution for a long time how I can use my MPC in fl studio thank you!
Yes but I didn't figure it out until someone told me about it in the comment section lol.
I have the Akai mpk mini 3 and when I put MPC beats VST and fruity loops my pads aren't working is there a reason why or a way to make them work I checked they're all synced up but for some reason none of my pads are registering
i don,t know nothing however i do have a akai force and the akai MPK MINI also the mpc beats program. right now my mini when i hit a pad it does not have the same sound as the pads on the screen, please help.
Thumbs up 👍 gang we here
thank you so much
How to did you get the software to record into fl studio? My set up didn't automatically do it. In fact, my hardware does register as a midi when I use the VST.
What up man! I want to use MPC2500 as a controller but 16 levels only work for velocity but not tune with MPC Beats. Live sample chopping doesn’t seem to be working with 2500 and MPC Beats (pads do not respond while in CHOP mode). Everything works fine with a midi controller (MPK Mini). Also have to use mouse/cursor to change pads if using MPC2500 as it won’t change when hitting the pad while working on samples in sample edit and switching between pads. Is there a way to get this working or that’s just the way it is with this MPC as it’s an older unit and might not be able to send/receive all information between the machine and software? Peace
This is sooo dope. Never got in to the mpc world but I do see the benefits of the workflow. Quick question tho. Do I need a mpc or can I use other controllers?
If I'm not mistaking you can use any controller... The mapping is weird on non akai hardware tho I think...
Akai has that mpk mini II ... It come with MPC essentials and a few expansions.. it's around 100 ducketts
Avery Price thanks for the info. Just got a new midi controller so I don’t want to get another one but man I’m tempted lol
Yo bro plz respond I have the MPC live as a plugin on FL Studio 20 but for some reason I can’t drag n drop drum sounds from FL Studio on to my MPC I see everyone’s video opening up MPC plugin grab a sound and drop it on a pad what am I doing wrong?????
So how can I get fl Studio kicks and snares into those mpc pads? Cause when I drag them over they load but don't play. But other kits I load myself will play.
How did you get live chop to work while using the MPC beats software as a VST? It doesn't work for me when I use my MPD226.
FPC is good that more to stop clutter... For free this program is good but FL does everything that MPC program does... So no need for it in that sense. Used to HATE FPC but in the end it was one of the tools that ended up using a lot. FPC/Edison great combo of tools and save so much time with drums. Excellent tool.
I still need you guys input on MPC vs Native Instruments Maschine. I'm going to make a purchase in the next coming weeks. Thinking about purchasing MPC One
I'll put it to you this way. I had a Maschine for 3 years and after trying the MPC Beats software with just the mpk mini, I ended up uninstalling maschine.
@@slpwlk5990 I bought an Mini MK3 today and two expansions. I can't wait until it comes. I'm definitely not in a hurry to make any beats for now until it comes. It controls MPC Beats perfectly. I'll use that time to watch videos on TH-cam. I'll be getting MPC One within a month brotha.
@@Sol_Keez Aye dope man! You'll have fun with it for sure.
How do i put mpc beats into fl studio bro? vause when i go to manage plugins and scan etc mpc beats pops up with "status error" ? how do i fix that ?
