Just wanna say I’ve had my Live 2 Retro for a year now, started watching your videos 2 days ago and I’m already feeling more comfortable with it than I ever have since buying it, I was close to giving up because it’s a huge learning curve for me but you got me back on the right track 💪🏾 keep it up bro 💯
Man, you have no idea how deep this hits and I wanna say thank you for taking the time out of your day just to hang out with me and watch these videos and also share your feedback. As one of my inspiration‘s, to be able to share and motivate each other as we all love the same art I know we’re like family here. Nothing but love and blessings to you.
This really means a lot, just a simple thought of being able to share inspiration with one another it’s deep and I really want to appreciate job for taking the time and hanging out with me here. 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Stick with it! I was in the same boat in the beginning, its now my go to vs PC DAW's. It took me long to finally conclude its has everything you would need. Videos like these are always very helpful exploring different menu dives and ideas. Malo is bueno!
I must admit I bought the mpc live back when it first came out and the learning curve was very irritating. I tried and tried watching videos daily hitting up people for help but noone considered helping i felt as if they were looking at me like a burden instead of passing on the knowledge. I'm currently in the process of buying another one the mac's are great investments and when you master a craft noone can never take that away from you...
I never really understand the reason for so many audio outs... until now. Each track can have it's own audio out... yo. My mind is exploding with ideas.
Hey Michael, i’m glad is resonated with you since that small compressor has been awesome and my signal chain and I’ve been loving it. I know what you mean about that Pat color, after the 2.11 update I cannot find it anymore lol then I figured out it was in the program options.
I got some sample packs from Sam and they are XPN, the expansions that I got from the Akai website are XPJ and they loaded right into my MPC software and then I exported them to my MPC. Is there something I am missing?
I’m new to the channel but really appreciate the in-depth content Malo👌🏾. Been using Logic Pro X, MPC 2, MPD218, MPK Mk 3 and the MPC Studio Black but finally managed to grab an MPC Live 2 Retro last week; it’s beautiful 😍💐.
Another great video. Thanks for this ! It was very interesting to see how you use the second output for the pedal. Very smart and easy tip ! Take care.
Oh man, I’ve been loving this Heat, it’s so subtle but yet so affective on the overall sound. It’s hard not to have it once you hear how good it can sound.
Salute Malo. I forgot about running my MPC boxes through external effects boxes like you have shown. It’s funny how I used to do that in the 90’s with the MPC 3000 running through either the DBX or Alesis 3060 compressors running into my Mackie board. I got so used to working in the box. I’m going to look into those two devices. Collect at all times. ✌🏾
Hey Robert, you have no idea how happy I am that you brought this up and believe me that is something that I’ve been so intrigued and loved listening to that style of music. I’ve been having an itch to try and make some of that style of music. Much love to you and blessings.
@@malobeats some of the best low-slung grooves are made by folks with the hip hop sensibilities. Peep some tunes by Freda & Jackson, I think you'd really dig. Much love, mate!
Dope video !! Love your mpc videos. Am considering buying a 2000xl or the one. But after watching your dope video the live 2 sounds better and can do anything the other 2 mpc’s can do 👊
Man I’m glad you mentioned that glitch, that mess is driving me crazy! First update I’m not all that impressed with. Tuner seems off based on samples I’ve downloaded and amp sim is cool but i don’t like the things they changed. It’s also annoying when you go the slide the start point of your first chop and that shortcut menu pops out 😡
Dope video brother. Looking forward to your video about the EHX Platform. I've been thinking of trying a Boss EQ-200 with it for a full mastering setup. Loving using pedals with my Live 2! Your videos are great man. Keep em coming!
lots of useful info here for a new buyer thanks a lot brother. i cant seem to find that program editer section you keep going to for mute groups, tempo shift and so on though. i slide over and it just shows grid view, main mode, track view, sounds and xyfy.
yo what's up thank you for the videos and knowledge, it helps a lot, i was wondering about your video setup too, your camera and everything because it is super clean :)
Hey brother thank you for taking the time and commenting, I have a video touching on this topic here : th-cam.com/video/TUKKMhtPHVw/w-d-xo.html let me know if you have any questions afterwards. Blessings to you 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Oh and one more question!? Any reason why I could sample and chop directly from Spotify? There are all the records in the world on there from the 1920’s! If haven’t seen anyone do that on TH-cam… thanks a lot bro 😎
3:30 It doesn’t look like it’s dripping it at a random location. It looks like it’s chopping it where the playhead is. Try double tapping the stop button before you make your first chop
Hey brother, thank you for dropping by and unfortunately it’s still drops random locations even if you set the Starpoint to the zero marker whether you double tap or sit your two-point Manuel, there’s been a lot of people running into the same issue after 2. 11 but so far this has been my work around.
Hey brother, thank you so much for taking the time and dropping by and I’m glad you brought up this question since these headphones are my go to headphones for everything I do here in the studio and they have been amazing. They have two options, option one is Bluetooth which I rarely use and option two is a powerful lossless and 0 latency option and that’s how I am able to make music with these headphones in wireless mode, I have a link in my description to these headphones if you’d like to learn more about the technology they use which is quite impressive. Blessings to you
Hey dude love that channel and the way you teach. I am kinda new to sampling so I have a lot of learning to do but what I am stuck on atm is " Once I have a set of chops recorded say within 4 bars and then I get my beat going and everything. What do I have to do if I want to add more chops and add an extra 2 or 3 bars of samples- Chops and also duplicate the beat and everything across so everything fits together? I take it it may have something to do with the different between Sequence- Tracks? Sorry I come from Ableton and I am getting a little lost lol Thanks dude Steve
Hey Steve, I highly appreciate you taking the time to check out the videos and also thank you for this valuable question. There’s a lot in this question but please know that I took a screenshot and I’m more than happy to do a full video specifically on this question. Again, there’s so much to go through within this question but give me a week and you’ll see a video out touching up on this specific topic. Thank you and hope to see you on the video when I release it. Much love and blessings to you
@@malobeats Aww bless you mate thank you, The main thing that attracts me to your channel is the fact that your not really after anything in particular you just do this because you love it and love music and teaching and that is what shows the most when I sub to a channel is honesty and kindness. I built up a 27.000 sub channel and it is hard work and many years of that was free with no money income from the channel at all so I know how much you have to love what you do :) Many thanks Malo Steve
You pretty much need to create a new sequence by duplicating that sequence then creating a new performance of the existing chops or whatever program you'd like. You just need to set the sequence to the desired length (2 or 3 bars per your question). Hope that helps if the homie didn't already make the video
Malo, that might be one of your greatest videos. Brother, that was incredibly informative. You are blessed in how you explain things easily, that a beginner can totally follow (that's what I am - a total beginner). Two quick questions: (1) If you were using your MPC One, instead of the Live II, could you hook up those two external boxes and the Analog Heat?; and (2) Are you still working on that paid (at least I hope it is for purchase) complete tutorial for the MPC One? Thank you again. Blessings, Hermano.
MALO Beats Please make a video just on how to report bug issues these days with hardware I mean the website has changed recently And I don't see any videos yet from the big ones on this issue alone And and I feel if we are reporting the issues Workflow would really really improve for us all
Just got one and been studying. This is such a good video for me as I strengthen my understanding of the mpc world. First time going dawless and it’s pretty Fuckin dope. Random question: what are you using for the over head shot? Just a Tripod?
Hey Jack, I’m glad you’re rocking with this video and it’s resonating with you also congratulations on your new set up I’m excited for you brother. I actually got a really cheap C stand from adorama that I’m using for this shot. I don’t remember which exact model it is but I’ll let you know as soon as I’m back in the studio.
Hey Malo, thanks for the tutorial! I was wondering, have you found any workaround for clearing all note events on a track while the sequencer is running? I know you can hold pads + erase, but thats kind of a drawn out process when you're jamming with someone and just want to move on to another idea... for some reason that Erase window is only available when the MPC is stopped. Seems like the kind of thing I could have accepted with earlier boxes, but not today....
Hey Malo, been loving a ton of your video. I’m new to the world of sampling or MPCs. Quick one, does the MPC ONE have wifi capability? If I want to get my samples from Splice or else? Or would I have have to get an MPC LIVE2 or X to have wifi?
Bro. Seeing as there are no dumb questions. I don't understand how people can sell samples, like recordings of other people's records? I mean don't get me wrong. I'm new to this and I'ma buy it lol
Dude hahaha trust me I’m in the same page as you hahah. Also, congrats on your LIVE2 nothing is a beast and I’m sure you’re gonna fall in love with it. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions with the LIVE. 🤜🏽🤛🏽
DUDE !!! Your Chris turner !!! I’ve learned so much from your channel From some of your earlier work. I’m literally fanning out right now 😆. Thank you so much for dropping by the channel .
Hey, I wanna become a Music Producer. I’ve just got the Akai myself without knowing anything about making a beat, can you make a video showing how to make a beat from the very beginning
As someone who is looking into buying i need some advice from experienced mpc live users, from most of the tutorials ive seen the mpc seems to be very set in sequencing a certain bar length but is it possible to mix it up, for example record a 2 bar drum loop and then record midi keys or bass for 8 bars and then guitar or something in the audio input for 16 bars with the other sequences looping underneath?
An alternative to Zero Snap that I've found useful is adding a tiny bit of attack (1-2) to my sample chops. Do you think there may be any downsides to that?
Hey brother, this is a great alternative and I can see this working. That same method is what I use on the SP404 but I just find it to be a bit quicker for me using zero snap but I don’t see any downside to the method you’re using. It’s always good to have different alternatives. Thank you so much for dropping bye 🙏🏽🙏🏽
It could be that the attack transient is a little less IMO for example with hard hitting drums but with most samples it would be not noticable. I just zoom in and set it manually because the zero crossing is not always right, and because I always did it like that with maschine too.
if you're using it as an interface can you get DAW/computer audio monitored thorough the built in speakers with playable latency while also using the built in instruments/effects?
Brother, this is such a great question and I have not tried this out but definitely did come to mind since the downside of this standalone workflow has been that minor delay. I hope to try out that workflow you mentioned very soon and get back to you on this. I highly appreciate you taking the time
@@shatteredsquare it is a few milliseconds delayed and in my personal opinion it is not noticeable. The only time you will notice it is when you’re trying to do some type of parallel processing which I use a lot, as you’re bringing up the outboard gear volume you’ll notice a small phase which should not be there. That would be the only downside but if I’m running my signal through the pedals without trying to do any parallel processing it’s been solid for me.
Hey man, thank you for dropping by in sharing this request. I’m usually rocking in standalone mode but the MPC studio is still here and it does get used every now and then so I’ll definitely do a video very soon on my workflow with the MPC studio very soon. Blessings to you
effected source comes out just turn on 'in' in sampler mode ? so if I have several inputs and outputs audio interface (cuz mpc one is just 1in/out) how can I use some external processors each tracks individually? (ex.guitar track use modulation pedal fx, drum track use drive,etc)
Man brother, you have no idea how much this question intrigues me. I have not yet connected an interface to my MPC but from what I’ve seen it should work exactly the way you said and I hope so because I do want to use more inputs in my workflow, I have an Apollo interface with eight inputs and outputs so I definitely would love to connect that interface and use up all of those availabilities. I’m gonna try to connect my interface very soon and get back to you on this.
Great question brother, are usually tap out the temple and whatever temple is shoot at me I know it’s going to be any number close enough to word I tapped out. In this case I believe I was tapping out at about 62bpm but I decided to change it and leave it at 65 so it’s only a few notches above so I do my best to stay close to the number I tapped out originally and 90% of the times the temple always works with me, if I felt that the temple was still a little bit off I was just adjusted by a few notches but this method always works very well.
dope video, but how do go from chopping up a sample to going back to the main screen? i chopped up a sample and when i go back to the "Main" my pads dont carry over the sample i chopped.
Hey guys appreciate very much if someone could let me know if I could use the MPC live 2 for loading and playing 6 stems / baking tracks and click with my band live ?
I struggle to get things started on the tech side of things. Getting my free stuff from the website over in the standalone etc… is there anybody with enough patience to help me out?

Fire, MPC live is so much more fun than trying to make these beats in a DAW.
I recently started on a SP404 mk2 and Dude are these Tutorials helpful. Thank you so much ❤
Another great video bro and thank you very much for featuring my sample pack. Much love bro.
This is just the beginning of many more since your pack is full of germs. I’m already chopping up some more. Much love to you brother🙏🏽
I'm praying AKAI in their next update adds 48khz sample rates so we can use the SP404MK2 as an audio interface.
Me too!
I love your videos and I’m waiting for my mpc live 2 to be delivered to me but hopefully I would love to learn from you when it arrives

Brother, this is such a great question and I have not tried this out but definitely did come to mind since the downside of this standalone workflow has been that minor delay. I hope to try out that workflow you mentioned very soon and get back to you on this. I highly appreciate you taking the time
@@malobeats dang you say downside, is there already noticeable playing latency in the built in speakers when using it standalone?
@@shatteredsquare it is a few milliseconds delayed and in my personal opinion it is not noticeable. The only time you will notice it is when you’re trying to do some type of parallel processing which I use a lot, as you’re bringing up the outboard gear volume you’ll notice a small phase which should not be there. That would be the only downside but if I’m running my signal through the pedals without trying to do any parallel processing it’s been solid for me.
yo can you make another video work flow on mpc studio mk2
Hey man, thank you for dropping by in sharing this request. I’m usually rocking in standalone mode but the MPC studio is still here and it does get used every now and then so I’ll definitely do a video very soon on my workflow with the MPC studio very soon. Blessings to you
@@malobeats word man thanks
effected source comes out just turn on 'in' in sampler mode ?
so if I have several inputs and outputs audio interface (cuz mpc one is just 1in/out) how can I use some external processors each tracks individually?
(ex.guitar track use modulation pedal fx, drum track use drive,etc)
Man brother, you have no idea how much this question intrigues me. I have not yet connected an interface to my MPC but from what I’ve seen it should work exactly the way you said and I hope so because I do want to use more inputs in my workflow, I have an Apollo interface with eight inputs and outputs so I definitely would love to connect that interface and use up all of those availabilities. I’m gonna try to connect my interface very soon and get back to you on this.
When using tap tempo how do I know which is the best bpm to use .??
Great question brother, are usually tap out the temple and whatever temple is shoot at me I know it’s going to be any number close enough to word I tapped out. In this case I believe I was tapping out at about 62bpm but I decided to change it and leave it at 65 so it’s only a few notches above so I do my best to stay close to the number I tapped out originally and 90% of the times the temple always works with me, if I felt that the temple was still a little bit off I was just adjusted by a few notches but this method always works very well.
Is there no way to combine bank a and B so you don’t have to swap between the two?
That sound is so beefy
how do you get that dragout meny on the left? been over all my settings buit cant find it..
dope video, but how do go from chopping up a sample to going back to the main screen? i chopped up a sample and when i go back to the "Main" my pads dont carry over the sample i chopped.
like how do you create the program?
Where do you find your samples??
what is the difrent betwen mpc2 to mpc beat software??
Do you ever link an iPad with the mpc as I have one with au3 and don’t know how to sync or use them together or if anyone knows the correct way
Hey guys appreciate very much if someone could let me know if I could use the MPC live 2 for loading and playing 6 stems / baking tracks and click with my band live ?
I struggle to get things started on the tech side of things. Getting my free stuff from the website over in the standalone etc… is there anybody with enough patience to help me out?
Are you the southeast US M)
wish the JHS was stereo...
Right ? I was so close to purchasing another one but had to hold back on it.
@@malobeats check out FMR really nice compressor been looking for something like that, analog/stereo to finish my mixes with...
This is a focus on sample chopping. The least interesting part of MPC functionality.
You gloss over the general workflow.
Thank you brother 🙏🏽🙏🏽🤜🏽🤛🏽
