Hey man I wasn’t feeling none off the new mpc’s after the 2000xl, anyways 2 weeks ago I decided to take the dive and brought a mpc live 2. Man was I blown away, so late to the party. Lol it’s amazing.
Akai should give you a commission because they just sold another mpc live 2 thanks to you. Also that counter melody gave me that stank face! Keep it up bro

Bro, today is been my first day watching your videos. Already a fan, and planning to get an mpc. 😂 that's crazy I'm fl gang, but those MPC look cool af. You make great content bro. Congrats
Right! What is it about making hip-hop/rap that makes folks want to knock somebody else's process? "You didn't sample that off vinyl", "FL Studio 10 is better than FL21", "You should use FL instead of..." Damn...just make music!
Thank you for the video my brother, I been following your videos for a minute when I got the live2 retro and what you just did as just sealed the deal on me getting the MPC X as one to keep at home and the other for travel, salute to you Bolo.
Dope video! I bought the drum kits last week and am loving them so far. Lately I have been wanting an MPC, although I have no experience with that kind of gear. Living vicariously watching you cook up!
@@MvnStn i hear that, i have the maschine studio. i like the work flow but it is nothing like an mpc. i'm going for that live 2. i will keep this but i probably won't use it after i get that mpc.
@@jayfiya5230 yea the main reason mine has dust is bc I could barely get it to work with FL, and even then it was very limited. Basically a midi keyboard, which I already have.. lol And I hear ya on not using Maschine after using the Live 2 lol. Good luck!
If you do not need the built in speakers and CV outs go with the original Live. You can get great deals on them and they travel the best out of all the units.
@@dandanndannnnnn The CV ports allow you to connect the MPC to a modular synth collection. If you search modular synthesis here on TH-cam you will see some crazy stuff.
@@BoloDaProducer that’s understandable I worked on one the process was smoother but the live 2 u can put it in the book bag and go can got to work where ever that’s what I love about it like you say they are both good choices 💯💯
I'm surprised you didnt get the "limited edition" retro version. Since that seems like the most popular version. But I prefer the regular black version.
Bolo u a beast. U make it look so easy I’ve seen make plenty of heat on everything I really respect your mind& the reality u bring to the game&the table I really like to be a student I kno a little I have a mpc live1&a mpc 1 do u teach if u don’t u should u could make a hella Instructer &make serious bread ure good at explaining the art of everything u do wen u do it could u teach me then maybe we could start a Skool together who knows what the future holds just saying!!!!!!!!
I concur, brother. I initially got the Live 1 to toy around with away from the desktop... fast-foward to today and my Live 2 is now the central part of my setup. Most of the time it is the only piece of gear I turn on to start coming up with ideas and several sequences. Now I have a hardcase to take it out on errands, sit in my car, and scratch out more ideas... midi keyboard and headphones are optional!
@@creativegreats6924 … very few differences between the two. The speaker comes in handy and it added the 4 shared cv/gates ports. That’s what I can think of off the top of my head… timing was on my side to swap the MPC Lives. I just returned the Live 1 for the Live 2.
@@GrayGhostDog1 What about software updates between the live 1 and live 2? Also what about the screen lag ? Does the live 2 have a more responsive screen ?
@@creativegreats6924 Same updates... I've never had any issues with screen responsiveness of either. I think there is no difference in screen quality or performance.
Look, crate diggers who have never had a project shut down for not clearing a sample live in an imaginary world and they have a very rude awakening coming. Oh, and thanks for showing us how to do this, I thought there was a way to do it, sure enough, you knew. Keep doing the damn thing, Bolo.
Man Bolo, been following you few months now and have enjoyed every vid. I have a MPC Studio Black but think I will be upgrading to the MPC Live ||. Issue I'm currently having with the studio is I can only use it on my desktop PC. Can't use it on my new Macbook because the Macbook only has USB-C ports. The USB to USB-C adapters are not working. It powers the Studio but it won't open the interface. In that case a standalone unit may be better for when I'm traveling.
Love your video's. Got a question for you. I worked with a few rappers. A few of them wasn't feeling my beats. Do you think this will give me better beats?

Great video dope beat bro I just went on your website and got all three of your drum kits keep the heat coming bro
done deal, i could have sworn i had been followed you on there.

Same. Just got the Live 2 about a month ago. Before that the newest MP I had was the 4000.
U wasn't diggin da 4k?
im glad to read you openend up your mind for this amazing new generation. must have felt like some chains have been broken coming from the 2k xl
Bro, do you still love it???
Yes
Thanks for showing all these Akai MPC videos. I just ordered my Akai MPC one because of your videos.
Hope you used my link!!!!!!💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾🔥🔥🔥🔥
Akai should give you a commission because they just sold another mpc live 2 thanks to you. Also that counter melody gave me that stank face! Keep it up bro
Thanks!
I wish they did 😂
yeah i felt that counter melody in my soul.. 🙏🏽🎹
I also have one right now. I fucking love it. Much better than my verselab
Yup just sold another one because of this video too. Akai- pay this man.
Live 2 was my first and I love it. I wouldn't really say it's "analog" - it's all basically digital with a built-in computer.
Some would argue the same about all MPC’s lmao “analog” is used contextually at this point
@@jamilkadhim2366 true, but signal path on the old ones were still analog. The modern MPCs are entirely digital in terms of audio processing.

I love the warp settings.
Just bought my MPC LIVE II! I LOVE IT!
I love my live 2 glad you got one ...
I'm definitely getting the Live 2 coming from the MPC Studio
I’m so technical with my machine I keep thinking I’m doing shit wrong. But now I see I’m doing everything right!💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾🔥🔥🔥🔥
Bolo is amazing. Thank you for sharing your gifts and talents. Blessings!
Channel dope a must watch definitely inspiring
Thanks!
Mannn… this mpc is crazy! Definitely gotta cop
Dope beat! Love your videos! Thanks for the inspiration
I’m loving this mofo, I’ve done like 40 beats in two weeks with it. Did 15 in one day. Learning so much on it plus the battery life is pretty good.
💪🏾
Yo, that lil button you just hit to get them all warping just put years back onto my life!
Fire as usual
The Mpc Live2 is Legendary!!!
23:05 in bed with 🎧's. i cant wait until the morning to watch this 💻🔊
One of the FEW mpc users on youtube who's beats actually slap.
Love the MPC content Bo NICE 👍🏾 . #MPCGANG
Nice work Bolo.
You da man boooooooooooooooooolooooooooo0o0oo000
Me too dope bro 😎
Got the one last week and can already tell a huge difference in sound quality
💪🏾💪🏾🔥🔥🔥
@@BoloDaProducer you always used to say for some reason my beats sound better on the MPC.
🔥🔥🔥
Dope beat! I'm still on the MPC Live 1 and love it!
What do you not like about the live 1?
Mane I love this, it makes everything so Eazy🌟🌟🌟🌟👌🏿
This is dope bro!! MPC is the best man
Wow the bass was hitting so hard it knocked the camera over. True 🔥🔥🔥👍
holy crap. phone stanked out
bass raddled an knocked the cam down damn bolo dat hit dif💯
Just got one today.. Very impressed. Much more user friendly than my Octatrack (which I love).
I still my get the Octo just to play around with.. heard great things about it
UH HUH, I hear you. Keepin' it simple and Funky! As always thanks for the demo
I MADE B E A T S
Thanks!
Got this in March to go with my X. I really like it a lot.
Fools hate on new technology and short cuts, but not realizing the short cuts help you be more creative
Great video. I love this Mpc Live 2. Awesome equipment
Bro, today is been my first day watching your videos. Already a fan, and planning to get an mpc. 😂 that's crazy I'm fl gang, but those MPC look cool af. You make great content bro. Congrats
Dope!!!!!! Splice is the Truth! Been on splice since 2016 and I also dig in the crates as well. Just another tool to add to the arsenal. Salute Bolo!
Thanks Big Homie , Stay blessed and stay real .
Right. A sample is a sample. Timbaland stated the same thing you said.
You've become my favorite producer love your videos
Thanks!
Where can I send you some of my beats to check out
Dope video my G! 👌🏿👊🏿
Was looking everywhere for a simple video on how to change tempo of sample without losing its key and tempo.
Sampling is sampling whether if it’s a record or from splice or whatever as long as the copy rights are straight!
Right! What is it about making hip-hop/rap that makes folks want to knock somebody else's process? "You didn't sample that off vinyl", "FL Studio 10 is better than FL21", "You should use FL instead of..." Damn...just make music!

You just taught me something today about the region 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
You can press the big knob to load the samples too
Dope mane 🔥🔥🔥🔥
One of my friends had it and I didn’t understand it or like it but now I do 🙌🏿
You gotta know how to use it, it’s the best 1 yet
Tight work!!!
Nice beat I think I might have to get me a MPC LIVE 2!!! ✊🏾💯
Hmm.... Why did "I'm a Believer" by the Monkees pop into my head?
Weird.... 😉
Got an MPC One and I'm loving it.
Wait.. did he say hit the thumb up or down... I don't care?
No, he said I REALLY don’t care…
It's really nice, I need to watch more mpc live 2 videos before I can decide to buy it sometime soon hopefully, good beat by the way...
Tight beat bro
My man... salute!
👍🏾luv my live2👍🏾🔥

The live 2 shitting on the X it’s everything the X is and it’s portable
I tell everyone that one of the best drum machines made
@@KcR52355 it is my friend it is everything is on board
I Love the live 2, however the X has all the quick link controls and a few extra buttons that makes the process so much easier. Both are great choices

Leaned something today never used warp like that before now I know lol thank you
Ooof that hat cleeeeean, son!
Do I have the same mpc and I updated the firmware but it didn’t load no where near as many plug-ins just just 3. Am I forgetting something can u help?
You have to download the synth content for software and standalone. It’s in you Akai account
I have an mpcx but i was looking at buying a live 2 lastnight. Think ill just go get one! Its $2700 here in NZ
Dope 🔥
Yes sir bolo how bout dem Dawgs.tho lol
I’m reallllllyyyy a Tide fan, but since I live here I might as well represent 🤷🏾
I'm surprised you didnt get the "limited edition" retro version. Since that seems like the most popular version. But I prefer the regular black version.
Yes true I like the black box. Only thing its hard to see anything when no light is on it .
Black is the way to go
More clear tutorial like this bruh 😎

Getting a Akai MPC One. What you guys think?
Get it!!!
Worth it. If you're a n00b to the standalones, head over to mpc samples. The MPC Bible is well named 'cause it's a godsend. :)
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Man I need to get nice like this my beats be doing out old school
How do I transpose the sample do you have a video on that?
A lot to explain I’ll make video on it. But you have to use warp function
Love your video's! What case and book bag do you put your mpc live 2 in?
Nice vid!. Question, can you bypass the on-board speaker?
Thanks Bolo. How much better would you say the Live II is compared to an iPad and Beatmaker 3?
To me is only better because of sound quality other than that… it’s it’s pretty much even
Yep Analog always sound good to me, just started making beats so I'm just learning everyday.
Sampling is sampling period the hell is folks problem
what backpack do you have
Hey Bolo! It would be cool to see a video on how you describe the analog sound!
This warp thing is just useless...it change the sound of the sample...damaged the sound...🤷♂️😒🤦♂️ is it possible to use without the damages?
