3000 wish I still had mine. 60 mk2 was great but pretty limited.
👀 akai knows the retro colorway is the way to our hearts
Im still mad at the knobs being black lol but hell yea
So true I would never part with my mpc ren
And your wallet
Not mine 🤷🏾♂️
The ren is whats up with a solid built.
These videos always get me in the mood to cook up a beat❤
Thats the goal of these videos indeed
Facts
DAW got me working.
Vintage hardware made me pay attention to detail.
Modern MPC let me put in the work without overthinking it.
S/o the Cook for keeping it 💯 at the end 🙏💪
Oh this is what i always felt but could articulate
Even the best mpc wont make you a producer if you aint one. Im with you bro, there is absolutely no point in doing things the same way, lets improvise, lets learn and go forward with the tech that enables that. Peace from Poland and dope beats btw. Cheers mate
The samples give me such PlayStation 1/2 era vibes. LOVE IT
I’m with him in this, the older ones are great and all but I’d rather have the modern workflow and features. Though I’ll admit that just having this or any other modern MPC/gear won’t automatically make you a dope producer. If you can make a banger on a Windows XP pc with Fruity Loops 7, more power to you
You should be able to make a fire beat on anything if you got it. These machines wont help you . Actually might be harder for some producers to go the hardware route
@@StopTryingSoHard yeah… no input mixing is another level… but with the right sampler capturing those sounds…. That’s future
I agree… I had a number of the classic MPC’s, starting with the 3000 the year they were released. I wouldn’t mind having another 3000 or 2KXL around for nostalgic moments, but if I could only have one it would be the Live2 Retro or X SE. The current work flow is much better, and the Live 2 is super convenient. There’s also a number of ways to compensate for perceived differences in sound quality.
Yes
Great video bro and you blessed to make these awesome tracks and touch these insane high priced gadgets!
Hearing Cookin Soul say it's the best and the workflow is phenomenal like that so man I really gotta get my hands on this machine. Appreciate you Cookin Soul for your honest opinion.
Even though I already have a Live 2 retro, which I love to death, this seems to be a great MPC. ❤
Nice music ------ I really like the bits you shared on this video ---- I am considering ordering one this week.
Buen trabajo Cookin Soul!
Bro me inspiras tanto!!! gracias por mantener viva la cultura del sample!!!❤️🔥
I love the video,I was thinking if you could do a video on how to emulate the old school sound of the vintage samples but with a modern technique like in the DAW. How to get the S950 low pass bump, the SP1200 ring, the 3K swing and so on.
Thanks for your videos, they always motivate me🔱🔥🔥
Great Review!
Always an inspiration Cookin Soul
Thank you Bro for this awesome review!
Great review, thanks! 💪🏽
Amazing review and video as always!
as an addition to that Pro tip, If you select a bunch of notes an use the actual humanize function, you can humanize the whole part with varying tastes by applying and trying different amounts :)
I know but I don't like the results as much as doin it myself but yes that option is there. I would prefer to have it already integrated on pad perform mode so you can listen to the humanize feel in the chords and it records it right away instead of the after "post" results. Something like what ripchord does would be great to have.
This is a great review! But what’s crazy is when I see videos like the alchemist and araab muzik still using the mpc 2500 and still putting out bangers. At the end of the day i just how the music sounds out those speakers not what type of machine is being used. It’s always the man behind the machine not the other way around
These machines won’t help you make better beats . They can only make the proccess easier as technology advances but you are 100% correct. A sampler does always the same thing workflow might be different but the results are 100% depending on the person behind the machine
He was referring to time. Making a living on a sp1200 with deadlines and commitments would be a nightmare.
this is the MPC Renaissance of the 21st century, beautiful hardwar
@@djone2one907 I wonder how it sounds if its warm
The mpc 1000 and 2500 sound lovely, I've had the new age stuff and it's not the same.
Muy buena opinión. Puedes hacer beats con antiguas MPC, E-MU, ROLAND buscando samples en tiendas de vinilos, con un rack hardware y trabajando con un workflow que será eternamente lento, pura nostalgia. Con una MPC actual y samples de TH-cam puedes crear cientos de beats en poco tiempo. Cada uno elegirá la mejor opción que se ajuste a sus necesidades para crear música, que de eso se trata.
Much love Cookin. 🙏🏼
Thank you very much for mentioning my work. The beat is amazing!🔥🙏
thank you brother. I will contact you soon, hope we can work on some things together.
@@cookinsoul thanks! Any time 🙌
New work horse! great video! You always nice with the production. cheers
Dope video bro I’ve caught a couple of your videos but I think this was the first time I actually got to hear you talk for an extended point of time. I liked it. And I also think the love two is the best mpc ever made.
This is one of the most sensible, honest, and interesting videos I have seen in a long time....The "review and opinion" section is fantastic view of new gear whilst paying homage to the vintage gear...If more TH-camrs were like this guy, there would be no more ridiculous "mine is better than yours".....Thanks for this video man....
Looks like my renaissance
Well put 🔥🔥
Thank u for your creation
Absolute 🔥🔥 video🙌🏻
Your studio is SICK!!!! Love it!!! Working on mine now.....Nice video production as well!!! #Salute #Inspirational
That mentality bro , just shows the different level you are to all of this . Mix that in with your review … best review I’ve seen Soul ❤ - Mindles
Love it thank you brother!
My MPC Renaissance does the same thing as this MPC X SE.. Its a ripoff! Your beat is fire as usual
So what I do for stems, is I modified Mixxx to trigger spleeter, then save the stems in mp3 library and remapped the DDJ400 buttons so the sampler buttons change the track to the aprioate stem, convenient , but I agree would be more convenient to have it in the sampler but I suspect it would need the whole track in the sampler to do it well.
You can use serato dj or studio and record the stems directly live into the mpc. Its 2023 we need the stem separation option inside the mpc directly. Akai needs to make that happen asap
Great review! The beat is great and so is the discussion at the end
Beautiful🌞
Damn this looks straight up fire! Added to the 'i f*cking need this in my life' list 😂
Pure old school style 🔥🔥🔥 Shout out to Cookin Soul.
INTRO IS A BANGER:)
Brutal,como siempre!,paz hermano👉
Classy as usual
I just pre- ordered one !
I have the MPC1000 JJOSXL and I really enjoyed your honest opinion about this new MPC and showcasing it on your channel thanks
You are exactly who I wanted to do a review on this. Answered all questions. I have the mpc one retro and been wanting the Live 2 but I think I want to invest in this now. Good looks
Is this available to purchase
@@Dispatcher813 link to purchase is in the pinned comment
@@Dan-ill Thanks
Wow que sonho! 🔥
Finito carnal!! ✊🏾✊🏾
Wow. This was a better review than the product advertisement. Love that its a hybrid of an analog man in a digital world
Next year they’ll come out with mpc xse intergalactic space version 😂 just use what u got peeps n only buy if you absolutely “need” it or have enough money to buy it 3 times over ..great beat btw cooking soul 👌🏿 😊
Straight 🔥 forreal
Good Job Cookin Soul!
BIG UP 💯 TOTALLY WITH YOU 👊🏽
yeah boi!
damn, that retro colourway looks heaps clean!
Thank God for the Soundtrack to the Vlog. Together with Red Means Recording and Cockoo one of the finest Demos.
Good to see you mention Musician's Paradise - that channel is
🔥
That guy is doin gods work for the community. I have to reach out to him for a collab and bring more ppl to his channel
banger beat - and damn, this thing is powerful
That new colorway pops no doubt! I have a mini MPC X SE ! ( MPC ONE RETRO! 😉)
Best honest opinion ever. Love this video and your work.
Definitely a dope beat and an genuine opinion without the fluff
Saludos Big S, te sigo desde las primeras mixtapes que encontré en TH-cam y desde entonces veo cada video que subes y escucho cada Beat Tape que nos compartes. Disfruté tu sinceridad para decir que no dominas las reglas musicales, pero sé de antemano que eso no es impedimento para crear ritmos con alma propia y sobre todo hacer música realmente, por que hacer música (Del modo que sea) debería ser un derecho universal.
Saludos y sigue siendo como hasta ahora el número 1 en creación de contenido sobre Beatmaking. Bendiciones desde México 🙏🏽🖖🏾🇲🇽
Que tal bro , lo que menciono en el video es que no se tocar el piano ni nada de esto, no tengo estudios de música en plan leer partituras etc lo que si tengo es buen oído que es lo que realmente importa para crear música. Me gustaría sacar tiempo para aprender a ir más suelto con el piano pero con los avances tecnológicos que hay realmente no es necesario. Para mi no hay reglas en la música lo que me importa es el resultado final. Saludos bro
@@cookinsoul Excelente respuesta, Saludos Master! 🙏🏽🖖🏾🔥
dope!
the upgraded ram is a nice touch on this unit
This MPC looks and sound crispy 🔥
Love your channel cookin soul! What camera do you use? The videos look nice an crispy!
aw snap, makes me wanna get an MP again
Very interesting video, thanks. I actually only listen to your music but the technical stuff is interesting, too :) Maybe I'll get the live 2 or something one day just to try and learn that stuff :D
❤ live 2 is my fav!
Respect for the review. Everyone has their preferences so all good. The 3000 is my favorite as no other MPC has matched its sound quality. The X overall is solid and always has been since it first dropped, but I would've expected more from Akai for the 35th anniversary of the MPC. I'm sure if they make an MPC6000, we will then see stems as a feature 😁. Salute 💯
What do you think about the sound quality between the X & the other MPC’s out there?
Love the video and your opinion I have the live 2 and I will safe up and get the mpc x se after watching your video and opinion thanks for a TH-cam videos and information appreciate it my man
I have one coming this week. I've noticed that the biggest haters on YT, are people without one. It's easy to feel greasy when you don't have one. I get that they're expensive and you can get the OG X for cheap, plus the keys has the 4GB ram, and it's going for real cheap, but I plan on using this as my center piece, to control/sample my other hardware. I own 9 other samplers, including the Live 2, and none of them have what the X SE has. I only hope that Akai gives us buyers some perks, since we are forking out more for the X SE than any other MPC buyer. I already own between 10-20k in plugins, so their plugins aren't exactly my best plugins. I also own over 10 synths from the OB-X8, to Multiple Moogs like the Matriarch, Sub 37, and Grandmother, to Waldorf Iridium Keys. It would be cool if Akai went left field, and made some plugins that can manipulate samples like RX10 or RipX. Or focused more on people who have other hardware, that wants to use the MPC X SE as the brains to everything. I know they already do this, but it would be cool to see Akai do something different and special, that made integration between gear amazing. If I could say anything negative, I would have liked to see more midi outs and audio ins, so this could pretty much be used as a mixer too. That would have really made the price make more sense. I own the Tascam Model 16, and from what I understand, I can use that as more inputs, but I haven't done enough research on it. I guess it has to do with the USB. I just ordered a new pair of monitors, so I may just use the Model 16 specifically for the X SE. The only thing about that is I like to sample from the Model 16 from the AUX out, into samplers. I'm not sure if my other interfaces can match the sound of the Model 16, but I guess I'll just use them instead.
The new retro color is 🔥! I prefer the black & red of my non retro X though. But I agree that this is the best MPC.
🔥🔥🔥
Glad I bought my X now
Great shit
When you export your song you can bounce stems. Have to export as separate programs after exploding drum tracks. I just ordered one and I’m stoked to be cooking! Thank you for the insight!
I am talking about getting the separate stems from any song there's multiple ways to do that but Serato Studio has that already inside his daw, a true game changer, I want to see that coming to the MPC line. Of course you can export stems of your own beat im not talking about that.
@@cookinsoul I feel that! I’m bout to cop some packs off of you. Wish me luck!
just got mine on order, waiting for it to ship lmao.
Man, that beat is dope!!! 🔥🔥🔥 I recently bought the MPC Studio mk2 as an alternative to the stand alones as those are simply to costly for me. Man, I want the MPC X SE after seeing this video! Way to expensive, but damn that is a fine looking MPC!
Man u some genius, always dope 💥💥💥✌️
Damn thats nice
Dope
David de verás crees que pronto tendremos la opción de Stems integrada a las máquinas? Sería una genialidad. Gracias. Fantástico review, fantástico vídeo como siempre. Saludos de Ginebra🇨🇭
Really appreciate your time and your opinion on the gear. I was not sure about buying the MPC X until I watched your review. Thank you so much!
What’s your go to instrument expansions or key group expansions and will the vsts that come with this new machine replace them?
Your beats + Gurus rhymes = Masterpiece - RIP Guru
Dope.
I have the live mk2 retro and can't wait to get a x se king mpc for sure.
Nice I see that Vinyl next to the MPC WHEN YOU DROPPING THAT ON THE SITE
11:30 has all the info and you can preview all the merch and vinyl colourways. This one came out so good, might be my fav drop so far as far as design and outcome. Salute
Ouu, I want one!
🔥🔥🔥🔥
VIBES ❤❤❤
dope bro
With that big ol screen and all those flashy extras..
AKAI HAS SACRIFICED THEIR SOUND!!
NO UGHHMPHHHH!!
ITS ALL ABOUT THE 4000 AND LOWER!!
Yeah they went from 16 bits to 24 what a sacrifice. You still carry a cassette player or do you download songs?
Ok ok i’ll take your words into consideration 👌🏽
Question: your shit always sounds on point. As far as the new MPCs go. When you mix, in regards to gain staging, or whatever, or you doing any gain staging in the MPC software, then bouncing, etc? Are you doing the bounce to seq and explode drums from song mode to seq or are you just 2 tracking each track by soloing each track and bouncing each individually? This is the main thing I am trying to figure out. Would really appreciate a little guidance on this.
THANK YOU FOR SPEAKING THE TRUTH!!! New Fan!!!!!
its tight !
