Brother just wanted to say god bless you man been watching your channel since my beat journey started and have made so much progress thanks to a lot of the help you given me with these vids Peace brother
I'm one week into my MPC one plus, my first MPC, and I appreciate how you blaze through all the functions which really serves those who have an idea of the basics as well as the more advanced, by covering a whole lot of material in one hour. Well done. I learned a lot.
I'm getting my Akai MPC 37 key 🔑 tomorrow. I treated myself for my 55th birthday coming soon. I'll definitely update the 3.0 and thanks for the video my brother ❤
Great Video! I’m all in on the new MPC3 update! I’m coming from my first 2000 XL back in 2002 with the Triton. My studio got broken into back in 2007. I was forced into the DAW world. I’ve owned the Key 61 since Feb and to be honest, I like the new update much better. I still rock my push 2 with Ableton 12 from time to time, but I’ve been rocking out on my MPC key 61 keep banging the videos, bro
Thank you so much! I´m a newbie at making my own music and this was extremely helpful in wrapping my mind around the MPC ONE. Just by following your steps I now have something that sounds decent eventhough much of the terminology is still like a foreign language to me. I´m getting there and it´s so much fun learning. Thanks again.
Bro! Stopped the video here. I just got my K37 yesterday! I'm all in. Did not upgrade yet. So thank you. It's also my first MPC besides the midi controllers so I don't know WTF I'm doing. Thank you! You are a huge help! Appreciate you!
@@Pauluz_The_Web_Gnome Yes. I do. Got the basics down. However, not upgraded yet! New to me so I have no complaints. What I see is most used to v.2 talking about the upgrade. Which I do understand. But it is still in BETA!? So things are bound to change. It's the same with all software. I use Unreal Engine for gaming and graphics. and things always change in Betas. You don't like it. Don't upgrade.
Wassup Ave. This great video helped me understand how to work with 3.0 much better. I have a hectic work life, my lab is down to boot and my X is now resident in my bedroom so, I don't get much time to cook up. I got up early this morning and watched your video and now I understand the new OS better. THANK YOU. Your time is definitely appreciated.
I'm a DJ from the old school that thought I could just jump on the MPC like I did back in the day. NOPE!! I guess I have to pay my dues and travel around the learning curve. I just bought a new MPC Live 2 to produce song remixes. I was using Serato Studio, but before that I had the Roland MV-8000 that I bought in 2005, and MPC 2000 bought in the late 90s. I have never updated until now. Whoa, technology has advanced, but in a good way. My only regret will be not waiting a few more months if a new unit is launched (Live 3) Great video, Bro! You made it make sense!!!
I just received my live 2 and instantly updated to 3.0. It’s my first mpc and also I am not so into dawless so far. Before the mpc I was using the circuit tracks. Now I want to get into it and this video ist just bless! Most of the tutorials are for version 2.0. You helped me a lot! Thank you so much for this great informative video! Do you know when you going to drop the masterclass for live 2 and v3.0?
Do you know how to move the locator markers once they’re set? Also is there a way to rename those markers? I set some markers and they are off and I can’t undo them or move them around.
Hey @Ave! I love your videos they are the best MPC videos on TH-cam But one thing is actually driving me a bit bonkers. Can you go ahead and listen do one of your videos and check how often you say go ahead.😅 Go ahead and do so Or just please do so 😅 Sometimes every other sentence starts like that.😂 Anyway. Thanks so much for your awesome videos!
Ave ...please tell AKAI, that a DAW is not a DAW if you dont have ,"AUDIO TO MIDI NOTES FUNCTIONS ",in the year of 2024,also the coveted- Parameter Equalizer Analyzer, Im sure( Andy Mac ) will understand, Your clout is substantial in the Akai Community...Thanks Bro...
I use the MPC as my DAW. Audio to midi is in my opinion not an importing feature. You can do with the MPC very solid and radio ready songs as well. You have only to know how. The MPC is an monster
Hey bruv, thanks for posting the most informative videos about a subject in all of TH-cam. Quick question for ya: do audio tracks work with track mute? I tried to make a beat in MPC 2 using live guitar, but those tracks weren't available when I went into track mute mode.
Hey man, love your channel. Could you make a video about file management on the MPC system? I find it quite difficult to understand how the machine handles the folders and files and where it puts everything. Very hard to stay organized and not mess up everything. Is there a fast way to clean unused samples inside a project? Does projects duplicate the used files and samples or do they merely reference it? Where do the system put the samples you create with the sampling functions?
Good morning Ave Mcree, I have been trying to use the new feature allowing the user to implement tempo changes in your sequences. However I am finding it very difficult to control exactly where I want the change to be and also the new speed of the tempo change, eg what bar I want the change to be. When you get the chance could you do a demonstration of how you would use this new feature and send it here. It can be found in grid mode : volume-tape-add new-seq tempo.
Question fam....when arranging the beat/ adding / deleting certain things...for example how would i remove the kicks/snares from the 4th bar, and add my own variation...to give it alil razzle!!! And to bring in the 5th bar, say i wanted to add a drum fill or roll, how would i add that and make it match the bpm of the song? I hope you can help me with this. Much love for dropping this tutorial.
I have a question that I don't know if it affects me only on my MPC Live 2. Once I install the Beat 3 version, it doesn't recognize the SSD. Help!!! I can't install the paid plugins without it.
How do you track your drums like 2.0 example track one is kick track two is snare. And I don’t mean explode I’m talking about one doing it individually manually like one was able too on 2.0
Got a MPC X SE and upgraded to MPC3. Now what? Where can I go to learn how to use this thing? Is there a video for MPC3 on the MPC X? I hope someone can guide me in the right direction. 🙏🙏🙏 Thanks in advance
You can still use Song Mode in 3.0 which is way easier than the arranger here’s How…. On Sequence 1 I have a Kick, snare, Hh, baseline, and strings .. Goto sequence edit and copy the sequence and I will call it no strings. On the no strings sequence I go to the track that has my strings on it I PRESS THE Arrangement EDIT ICON AND PRRSS CLEAR Now you have erased the strings from the second track ,,, copy the sequence with no strings to sequence 3 and Call it Syth sound add a syth sound to the sequence And now you have 3 different sequences Goto song mode add sequence 2 for 8 bars sequence 3 loop for 8 bars and sequence 1 8 bars press convert/sequence
I’ve been experiencing a problem with edit zones… Where laying Multiple kicks and snares At the same time Instead of one by one i’ve been having using 3.0 …in 2.15 version wasn’t a problem… unless there’s a setting I don’t know anything about
There is literally nothing that can happen using Wi-Fi on your MPC. The only thing that could possibly happen is the Wi-Fi not working. At best maybe your MPC plug-ins not working.
Why don’t you talk about If you downgrade you won’t be able to load any old or new projects you’ve saved in Mpc3 , software included. Talk about that. talk about the new creation date generated instead of modified when you save in Mpc3

@@antwonanderson2562 Thanks my brother, next Thursday I’ll be turning 55 years blessed. Life is short, do the best version of yourself.
Appreciate you explaining things in normal language. Too many tutorials use mpc terminology right off the bat which is hard for a newbie to grasp
Best MPC3 tutorial out yet!
Wow, thanks!

Very Nice Video, easy to understand and follow. Thanks
That was very helpful. Good to know the workarounds. Thankyou
Thank you for this, man. Truly appreciated.
TH-cam has been blessing me lately thanks, Ave!!!🙏
Just uploaded 3 on my MPC ONE yesterday, bout to bang out today🔥Thanks for the breakdown AVE🫡
Bro I really appreciate you! Good looking I really needed this 🙌🏾💪🏾🎹✊🏾
Been having the beta since they released it to the public and just now fucking with it. Struggling man! Thanks for the drop.
Fully awesome demonstration 👊🏽
Great Tutorial! Thanks a lot!
*Thank you man!...This was the tutorial I needed.*
Any time
Qlink tip was gold! I lowkey was wondering that for a while, i would always zoom in to adjust
Qlink side slide panel turning off and on was a good tip for when you got those bigger samples and your near the end point.
Dynamite presentation Ave 👍🏻
thanks

Good luck..
The beta is out right now, no problems with the beta, if something don’t work u can downgrade from your mpc, there is an option for that
If you save a project in 3.0, you can’t open that project if you downgrade
Thanks brother ❤

yea dope vid Ave .... aye no x/y effect??? I didn't notice it
I have a question that I don't know if it affects me only on my MPC Live 2. Once I install the Beat 3 version, it doesn't recognize the SSD.
Help!!!
I can't install the paid plugins without it.
RISE & SHINE FAM
the grind continues
How do we get rid of the arrangement cues?
Hey ave are you going to make a 3.0 masterclass update for the people who already purchased the mpc master class?
yes
lord knows i needed this i was ready to downgrade so fast

U should be able to use scale highlighting in the piano roll like fl studio this would make more fl users won’t to use akai
Hi, how can I export the full arrange? It’s possible?
yo Ave! do you think we'll get a new MPC with mpc 3.0 official release? kinda stressed if its worth to invest money in mpc live 2 right now...
I'm sure they're not releasing anything soon
@@AveMcree🤔
I have an short question. Is there actually a way to record an Songidea in Realtime into the Arranger with all tracks
Man it would be awesome if the audio track wouldn't produce an error message.. can't record my moxf6 audio as I could in previous versions... 😩
MPC live (1)
3.0 beta
Muito bom. Obrigado
How do you save your favorite sound in the new 3.0 update
Hey Av why not use a sample from splice or tracklib that way you won’t have to work about infringement
facts, hurry up and get that sample you used in tutorial out of the video it's not worth the headache
Also didnt realize i didn't need to hit record after setting the automating to write lol 💎
ave quick dumb question how do i get rid of the white pop up text that pop up when i open something ?
You can’t. It’s a part of the beta. Will b gone in final version..
Hey if I’m buying a mpc live can I still use the mpc 2 update instead of the 3?
Yes
I’ve been experiencing a problem with edit zones… Where laying Multiple kicks and snares At the same time Instead of one by one i’ve been having using 3.0 …in 2.15 version wasn’t a problem… unless there’s a setting I don’t know anything about
Thanks
Yo ave what's the difference between copy sequence and copy events?
copying event only copies the midi events in the grid. While copy sequence copies the whole sequence.
I just got the Live 2. I need a tutorial on that with the 3.0
So The Akai Force will have NO update?
I’m trying to record from the first bar but it won’t record does anyone have a fix for this?
I sold 2 beats already using mpc3
🫡🫡🫡
I just don't like I can't cut or delete in overdub while in grid mode when laying down chops and etc. unquantized
My MPC one says is running the latest 2.15.1 firmware, but it still looks the same, not like in the video. WHYYYYYY????????? LOL😢
Did you download the MPC3 Beta?
It would be nice if my MPC ONE+ still worked it wouldn't come back on after updating the firmware
not on the mpc software.. cheers akai gfy
💎💎💎💎
😮😮
Iv updated mine and it still looks like the old version 🤷
As a tech guy for years. I have to wonder about the security when connected to Wifi or Bluetooth. Also, can we customize the splash screen?
imagine having all your beats jacked wirelessly 😂 does it have an airplane mode?
There is literally nothing that can happen using Wi-Fi on your MPC. The only thing that could possibly happen is the Wi-Fi not working. At best maybe your MPC plug-ins not working.
3.0 dosnt show hard drive.cant use any content on there.
your hard drive isn't connected right
