My guy, you have no idea how many videos I've seen to learn step by step how to make a beat with my MPC... Seriously, hands down the BEST tutorial 👏🏾 🙌🏾 👌🏾 I've seen! Thank you so much! I know the update changed some things but at least i know where to press to get it going! I've been so lost, then i saw the light from your video 😂! Thank you my guy!
Thank you Ave! I just got my mpc 61 delivered yesterday. I have been out of the music scene for almost 30 years and go back to when the AkaiX7000 was my controlling keyboard and sampler. thank you for this valuable tutorial. Your insight is great and you are obviously very knowledgeable. Peace and blessing brother!
Ave just got the 61 key I was waiting for the 37 key so I got impatient and gave in on the 61 key and I’m glad that I did . Thank you for your content and God Bless brother
Ave thanks for the video, will you be releasing the Akai 61 Mpc key Vs Fantom you filmed. Please also post your videos in the akai 61 mpc key group on face book.
Now I finally understand where the 16 level feature is good for, this wasn't clear from the manual for me. So with that you can record easy and precise dynamics in your beats. Thanks for demonstrating!
Hello Ave. I had previously sent you a problem I encountered with my mpc 61 not bouncing to audio or bouncing to sample. I contacted akai and they open a ticket for me. This was about a week and a half ago. Today they emailed me that they have fixed this issue with a upgrade 2.11.7. Havent been up to my lab to install this but thought you might want to know. thanks for all you do my friend!
Opened it up. Updated it. Registered it. Not even 3 minutes and 54 seconds and I think I'm going to sell it and let yall stick to making the beats. You make it look good and simple though😂. Enjoy❤❤❤
I was being a big old baby. I grabbed that MPC bible and started studying. It is coming along well. We all learn differently and the step by step from square one is what I needed.🎉🎉🎉
Hey Ave, Thanks for the time you put into the videos. I have 3 questions, 1. How long are the the Master course videos? 2.If someone owned the Live and Key 61 which master course would you recommend? 3. Can you sample and chop directly to the keys like you could on the ASR10 and the Triton, not using pads, if so would you put up a quick video? Thanks
Bruh, your MPC Vids are the best...can you do another vid showcasing the Key 61 using those Soul Chord Progressions with ya boy (Ripchord) for this MPC Please?
Wha up Ave Mcree.....I am on the fence about an MPC....I'm sick of computer issues and updates and compatibility and DAWs.....I have a question for you Brother Man - as aa MPC Newbie - should I get the Keys 61 or wait for the new MPCs coming out this year?
The MPC61 is my first "keyboard" that isn't a DGX or basic midi controller. When my Akai showed up, it was my first MPC experience ever and I was a little over my head. I finally made my first beat(s) in a series of "a-ha" moments and have become addicted. I still have a ton to learn, but this video got me up and running and alleviated a lot of confusion. Thanks!
Hi, Can I use this synthesizer as a MIDI controller, that is, to assign functions to the softsinthes that I have installed on my computer through the faders and knobs?
Ave how are you? I have a question concerning the Key 61. Since we only have 8 tracks for instruments, can i connect the Tascam Model 12 to increase the track count?
I’m 10 minutes in where he’s explaining the Q link buttons in the envelope window. Why are my Q link buttons not functioning at all here? Even the config button doesn’t scroll through the different parts of the window. They’re not broke, it’s like they’re all turned off. ?
Bro I want to ask a question remember back in a day Ensoniq ASR 10 how come companies like MPC Yamaha companies don’t revamp that type of keyboard I’m just asking
@@AveMcree Have you ever thought about that type of idea for the ensoniq keyboard if a company can actually revamp that type of keyboard it would be off the chain
So you basically paying for sounds and new buttons with keys🎹 🤷🏾♂️🙅🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️The X is still the better choice for the money. Good information though 🤙🏾
@@AveMcree I agree Ave. However, let me say I love Akai but I hate being spoon fed technology when we all know plug-ins are really the future. In addition, why not fix the looper first? I’d buy another unit all together if they just did that. I have almost all the MPC’s and JJOS 2 still has just as much current technology and some stuff the current MPC still doesn’t have. I just can’t wait till they open the floodgates for plug-ins developer’s to make plug-ins then it’s a wrap everyone is buying it. They would make the whole industry have to do the same-thing to compete. Oh and yeah, fix the looper the current one this nonfunctional for live performance you have to stop the looper to switch tracks. That defeats the point of a looper. It’s supposed to record seamlessly allowing you switch tracks live and record different instruments. Who buying a looper that’s marketed not to switch tracks seamlessly without stopping it first?
Unc Ave Mcree I had a problem on my MPC 62 key . How do I fix this? I saved a lot of projects do I have to put everything on a flash drive? I don’t know, but this is what happened. ERROR SAVING MPC PROJECT /media/az01-internal-sd/MPC Documents/Projects/Albert.xpj

As a brand new MPC user I've scoured TH-cam for helpful videos. This one right here is in my top 3. THANK YOU ! ! ! ! !

Did you sell or do you still have the mpc.
This was helpful. Thank you.
AVE MANNNN THAT BEATS DOPE!!! PLEASE KEEP IT
Excellent!
Hi Ave, great video very helpful, Can you tell me as a guitarist mainly can the MPC 61 automate key and chord progressions automatically?
Hey Ave, Thanks for the time you put into the videos. I have 3 questions,
1. How long are the the Master course videos?
2.If someone owned the Live and Key 61 which master course would you recommend?
3. Can you sample and chop directly to the keys like you could on the ASR10 and the Triton, not using pads, if so would you put up a quick video? Thanks
Capital V-neck with the Taco meat. My boi living his life😂 much love had to come crack on ya big brother

Great Video Ave!

So helplul. Thanks a lot👍
Great lesson and good teacher. Thanks!
Appreciate your time
nice track making examples always👍
Excellent video.. thank you!
How do I find the key of a sample that's in one of the drum kits. ..please help and bruh I really appreciate all your videos. Your on point. Thank you
How do you write touch strip automation?

Hey Ave, Have you heard of the Expressive E Osmose 49-key Polyphonic Synthesizer and MIDI Controller?
When you are in the main screen how do you get back to the sound to further edit it?
Thanks
How long is the MPC 61 instructional video course for sale in terms of minutes?
Thanks 🙏
Great stuff! Would like a bit about instrument/ mic (audio?) recording workflow!
Wanna plug in my guitar!
Hi, Can I use this synthesizer as a MIDI controller, that is, to assign functions to the softsinthes that I have installed on my computer through the faders and knobs?
Just load whatever sounds you have on your computer into the MPC.
This MPC can do everything the computer can do.
So when I want post a finished product how do we export it??? I use MPC2 and or Maschine.
Is it better buy than Roland Fantom 0?
Ave how are you? I have a question concerning the Key 61. Since we only have 8 tracks for instruments, can i connect the Tascam Model 12 to increase the track count?
Yes
I’m 10 minutes in where he’s explaining the Q link buttons in the envelope window. Why are my Q link buttons not functioning at all here? Even the config button doesn’t scroll through the different parts of the window. They’re not broke, it’s like they’re all turned off. ?
Eyy.. Desde España
If they produce a 25 key version, lookout!!
Bro that would look stupid lol ijs
They already have, it's called the MPC one with the lpk25 combo.
@@thenet3d definitely not the same experience
@@AveMcree Probably. Guess I'll just have to build my own version!
@@thenet3d Why not make it an all-in-one somehow?
Bro I want to ask a question remember back in a day Ensoniq ASR 10 how come companies like MPC Yamaha companies don’t revamp that type of keyboard I’m just asking
Licensing issues
@@AveMcree Oh OK I understand but it seem like if they can found out a way to revamp that type of keyboard it’ll be amazing
@@AveMcree Have you ever thought about that type of idea for the ensoniq keyboard if a company can actually revamp that type of keyboard it would be off the chain
@@AveMcree Thank you so much for your input brother I greatly appreciate you I watch you all the time laugh out loud
How do I save my beats because I lost 2 of them
did you be able to use it with FL Studio?
Using keyboard ctrl
Jaime parks studio thanks
MY COLOR BLOCKS NOT LIGHTNG UO WHEN I HIT THE PAD
Probably broken. Trade it in for a Casio CT-636.
you use the mpc 61 as you use all of them its the same software
So you basically paying for sounds and new buttons with keys🎹 🤷🏾♂️🙅🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️The X is still the better choice for the money. Good information though 🤙🏾
Hooking up a keyboard to the X doesn’t yield the same results.
