here is my 2 year review on the mpc live mk2 as a mpc 2kxl and mpc one owner. The mpc live 2 is the best mpc in my personal opinion for the workflow and the amazing input and outputs it comes with as I can connect different guitar pedals to it and other outboard gear. for some amazing mpc live 2 samplings and the mpc workflow this machine stands out to me as i am producing sample-based boombap beats.

I'm an Ableton Push 2 and Maschine user and I've been using the MPC Live 2 for a few months and at first it was a shock to my system. Its so different, it has like an old school feeling to it. It was so alien but now its finally clicking. I'm getting some speed and I'm making bangers. Love the touchscreen, speakers, and battery. Its the most portable complete beat machine I ever had and I will take it with me more than my plus even though I'm more used to maschine. I use it as a scratch pad and then export to an Ableton Project so I can arrange and mix. It's dope but it'll never replace a real DAW for me.
Thank you so much for this input brother. I love the content on your channel by the way. I appreciate you dropping by 🫡🤜🏽🤛🏽
I love mpc hardware. But the software is not as intuitive as NI.
I have the MPC Live 2 since last july, and until now I have opened ableton like 2 times 😂
It's a dream come true. I love wake up in the morning and start creating something on the terrace, with a coffee, the sun... Whenever, wherever... All the facilities it have when comes the inspiration... Best drum machine by far
Akai💘
@@ES-ol8lb These comment just evidence your level of ignorance
I am a HUGE fan of this machine and your video is awesome! 🔥 I really love making beats on my MPC
Gracias 🙏🏽. I appreciate you being a part of this channel. It really means a lot.
@@malobeats your channel is amazing, you are a real inspiration! I am trying to do something similar in Italy 🍕
My first MPC live2 was faulty, but now i got a replacement and it is amazing! Works like a charm now! Great peace of kit!👌
I brought my MPC One in 2020. I love my One, but I know how dope the Live 2 is. 😊
I’m in love with your beats and this channel. MPC Live2 is great. I’ve began to make my first beats using Maschine, and I have Maschine+ in my home studio. MPC seemed too hard and strange for me after NI hardware. But now I think that MPC is the best choice. I can take it with me almost everywhere, if I’m driving a car, and sometimes even if I’m just walking. Battery and build-in monitors, opportunity to build my own library of sounds using sampling, mic, or splice. And this feeling - like I have a portable studio and can take it everywhere with me. No freezing, regular updates. if i had to take just one thing from my studio - it will be MPC Live2.
Dude, what? You use it while driving and walking?
Exactly , I’m not missing my protools , went from the 2000XL to the Live 2 and I’m. Happy man , truly
The speaker alone made me buy it / still learning the workflow and the approaches to the machine / always appreciate your videos
You Are The Sample Chop KING, In My Opinion. 👍🏽👍🏽 I've Learned Ah Lot From Your Tutorials On This Category. I Thank You Sincerely.
The hardware is fine, just like the hardware on the Maschine is fine, but the software on both needs a lot of work to be brought up to modern standards of what even a free piece of software can do.
I’m rocking the 1000! Been thinking about upgrading to the live II, but the 1k keeps bringing me back!
I know the feeling, that’s how I was with my 2KXL and I still have it since I love it so much but I’m not gonna lie, these newer MPC’s are worth it specially us coming from the older ones. I would keep your 1000 if you can and also have this live2
@@malobeats What do you like about the 1000 over the Live II?
I had an Mpc one and Maschine mk3 before but returned it since I want to have less wires to think about. Great choice for me to throw some few hundreds to get the speaker and battery. I bring it to my parents house when I visited them during the Holidays. great portability.
The thing i want Akai to implement is much better automation, ie being able to automate effects through the send/return channels rather than just inserts. Automating master level would be nice too.
And submix level as well
This is deep, i’m glad you mentioned this as I don’t really use much automations since it’s a little cranky, and it could definitely use some help .
Using the step sequencer for automation works so much better, I used to just try and dial it in but the step sequencer is so much better for this...
I love my MPC Live 2. It's enabled me to really learn and understand music in ways I couldn't before when I just had a keyboard and a DAW. A new feature I would like is native VST support. I would love to be able to put Omnisphere 2 on my MPC. Basically since I got my MPC I straight up stopped using FL Studio. So my Omnisphere and FabFilter plugins just sit there and do nothing for me.
Why not resample omnisphere into keygroups? It has auto sample,
How do you know which VSTs are supported? I'm new to this and curious if the Arturia Minifeak V would work on it.
@sansmojo Pretty sure it just VSTs that come from MPC.
@@DavidWTube That's a bummer. Thanks for letting me know!
@DavidWTube no it works with all vsts and hardware, did hear NI have issues due to sending a stop command through midi, but there are work arounds
I’m only a couple months in with the Live MK2. Owning a MPC comes with one hell of a learning curve. I almost sold it multiple times. I wanted to toss it out of a window sometimes as well. But though there’s still so much to learn. The MPC workflow is starting to make more and more sense. Your channel along with a few others has definitely helped. Give thanks. 👊🏾🫡🇧🇸
Great video. This machine is dope, portable and affordable can do everything the old mpc’s can do.
Real cool to see how your channel grew. Nice video work. Classy - I am with you I which the MPCone had one more pairs if in and outs as well as an extra midi out. The USB audio is often a hit and miss with external mixers.
I was wondering where you were recording, I was like, “man Malo got the refined gentleman recording set”. Great video brother 🫡
Thanks for this quick review. I understand you. For me, I'v chosen the MPC one because of the price, and because of the user interface. I'm really easiky understand it. There's knob for every mode and it's easier to navigate for me. I agree, more input/output, even if we got the usb possibilité would have been great ! But there's so many things to explore in a MPC that i won't complain. Take Care.
Dope Video !! Classy Crib . Keep Em Coming Malo
that was awesome, the scenario was amazing too!! would you consider making a video of all your pedals? please
great video, I appreciate too if you make video about your pedals, cause I m guitarist too. Thanks. Greetings from Czech
That's a nice room you're in.
I’m so glad you are able to appreciate the aesthetics of his room. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Malo Beats back at it with the 🔥
Simon compa 🤜🏽🤛🏽
That's what's up Bru! I got the X. If the II can do what the x can do I can live with a smaller portable travel version.
Well spoken....Everything I love about the Live II.
Thank you so much
Dope vid. Still haven't gotten away from just the making beats part 😅 but i love the mobility . I stopped taking it on trips cause it's like lugging around a VCR . Unless the purpose is to make beats . If not i travel round with my op1
People don’t even know my guy I’m literally on my 2nd mpc I had the first gen mpc live 2 in black then traded it in after I learned how to use it for the gold one I love this shit just sayin!!!!
Having owned the live 2 for a few months now. It's a god tier beat machine. As far as the lack of plug ins, truthfully it comes with enough air effects to satisfy anyone who comes from the world of a thousand plug ins. It's not gonna have everything a pc would be able to use. But it's got the basics covered for sure. Your reverb, delay, lofi, and many others are there for sure. It's really impressive. Once you wrap your head around the workflow. Its one knock I can think of would be the touch screens accuracy is sometimes wonky but it's better than 99% of the rest of the market so that's not even really a concern. Most other samplers don't even have a touch screen so it's hard to even compare it to anything in its class. Where it shines above all else in the sampler market is in cutting and manipulating the sample. It's effortless on this or any of the newer mpcs really. Before buying it I had never chopped a sample before, within a month I was cutting up samples like a pro. Time stretching them and chopping by threshold, making entire chop kits. It makes it so easy a child could figure it out. Worth every single penny. Especially if you can find it for $800 used like I did on amazon or reverb.
16 audio tracks with unlimited length, via disk streaming. SD card on front that goes all the way in like MPC One. 4 1/4" inputs. SMPTE time code reader/generator like MPC 60 to MPC 4k. . 8GB RAM. That is the only way I would buy an MPC workstation. Otherwise, I will continue to use my superior MPC 2000 Classic
Nice Video Bro! Way to sum it all up in One Machine! The MPC Series is Mind Boggling.
Hey brother, I appreciate your feedback and thank you so much for taking the time. 🙏🏽🙏🏽
While I love my MPC One, I will say that when all is said and done, the Live 2 might be the best MPC ever
Should I buy this now or wait for new Mpc ?
That thumbnail image tho 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
!! Thank you brother that means a lot 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
I had the One for a while, but returned it and got Ableton Push 2. I don't regret it because I needed a good DAW and controller. I'm saving for the Live 2 so I can have a standalone to use away from the home studio. Your videos got me rolling with the MPC One, so I'll be back to learn more when I get the Live 2. The MPC line is the only line offering flexible synthesis and sequencing in one place, even though it'll take some getting used to. Thanks man.
Also, just posted some of my own jams/improvisations on keys. Check it out and feel free to sample the keys hahaa
Great machine, instant classic!
Thanks for breaking down the speaker quality
Sold mine, no regrets. Overdue updates.
So they all have the same thing under rhe hood but different bodies??
down the road i’m upgrading to the mpc live. that a fire beat 🔥 felt like i was waiting to hear “Soul…… Assassins!” somewhere
What happens when the battery dies permanently/stops holding a charge since it isn't removable?
I agree with you; this machine is very powerful. I own it alongside with a fully equipped 2000XL (bought more then 20 years ago) and a 1000 (with JJOS). The LIVE 2 is so fast with swapping projects and after some minor concerns in the beginning I like the user interface with the touchscreen very much. Transfering files fro and to a computer is a joy (I do chopping and compiling programs mostly in my daw). The new grid editor is by far the best of all my MPC. Soundwise it is the same with In-the-box/digital-only production; you have to do a little more plug-in-tweaking to come to fat sounding results which you can get easier with the older machines and their grittier converters. Thanks a lot for your content Malo, I like your kind and informative way of letting us know your tips & tricks for beat production.
i just bought the live 2, i have some projects in the mpc software made with a mpc touch, will i be able to transfer those?
whats plugins you using to fatten the sound?
@@R-sn1ty transient, filter, kill eq, limiter, flavour pro or vintage simulation occasionally
I am interested in the MPC live 2, SP 404 MK2 and Elektron Digitakt. Trying to decide which to buy. I only afford one of them. I would like to use in a live set up to playback recorded tracks, use as drum pad to create loops and create full tracks sequencing on stage. I also want to be able to use to create chunks I can put into a daw to create songs I can record and release, plus create my own drum samples. Am I asking too much or will one of these be what I want??? Would love to hear from you, or anyone on this please. Peace.
I bought a mpc live 2 for 400 bucks off of eBay and it looks brand new .
Live 2 is everything
Very humble vid bro keep it up
Absolutely brother, thank you so much
I gotta stop BS’n and get a Live 2 because when I’m on the go taking the MPC X is not a good logistical option 😢
I love my Mpc live 2, every update this thing is more and more closer to a D.A.W. inside a box. And akai is really impressing me there stand-alone VSTs
This video answered all my questions…thanks
nice crib
I definitely love my MPC Live. To be able to emulate the classic sound of the MPC 3000 and the 60 is just 🔥 and it’s just fun to make beats on! Grace and Peace ✌️ broducer!
Enjoy watching your Videos another engaging one in new settings. The camera shake in this one made me feel a bit seasick is that something you've done in Post? It felt like trying to give the feeling of someone holding the camera artistically speaking but it just made me feel a bit funny. Keep up the awesome work Malo. Enjoy the time away from the 'office'
I've been on the fence when it comes to this machine. Because if get into MPCs, that 7 inch screen... for doing everything on that? I don't know. The X SE seems a lot more sensible decision.
Great video! I don't own a mpc live 2 but it seems to be pretty cool. I like my MPC One because i like knobs lol
Hey... Has anyone tried to connect a mic to ur MPC? I no it takes a dynamic mic tried twice and no deal... I travel to different places and having my devices to connect is better than having to hook up to someone else's system.
Bro that beat is hard af.. Prolly my favorite I've heard from you.
Damn, thank you so so much for the love. This means a lot brother 🤜🏽🤛🏽
Sample class🎉

Okay. The live mark 2 changed everything. I've bought it yesterday and I've come from a mpc one. (Used it with battery pack and a Bluetooth speaker) I can say that the possibility to turn the live mark2 on and quick access the workflow is the main deal for me. Also the glowing buttons are very very useful for people like me which making beats at night while the kids and wife are asleep. I've should buy the mark2 at first. But I think that the softtouch surface is a mess for an product in this price range aaaaand I'm more comfortable with the hard buttons of the mpc one. I like to hear the button click and it feels more high quality
I just ordered 1 today, I'll be doing some reviews on this unit...Great video bro 👍🏾
Excellent ins/outs, speaker so powerful with amazing bass extension rivalling Apple's home Pods, Busses< awesome Air effects which are simple but carry an absolutely awesome sound, use of external plugins, convert midi to audio in one click, browse files on the fly while in rec mode, export in multiple ways, ...I finished my degree in Sound Engineering & Music Production covering 18 modules inc Ableton, pro tools and Logic - honestly nothing comes close - oh, and the sound coming out of it - I collected around 10,000 sounds or more during my degree - NONe of them comes close in resolution to the MPC -- Can you tell I love it? I'm also making videos soon..Malo's Channel the best though. Shout out Andy M at Akai.
Interesting insights... Let us know when you upload a video
@@G.Man- 💥
Milo Beats 🎧 learnt so much from you keep em coming 👊🏾
Hello, thank you for your very interesting videos!
I have a question, and I would like to know your opinion. Have you tried Akai Force? And if this is the case, which do you prefer, the Mpc live or the Akai Force?
havent used any mpc since 1000 but thinking of getting something standalone for the road. good review bro, subbed
I swear your chesterfield worth watching this video
Yamaha SU700 user here. Thinking of upgrading to an MPC Live II but I don't like menu diving much.
I figured 7 pounds isn't that much, my les paul weighs 11 pounds and I can handle that pretty easily so I figured this 7 pound machine wouldn't be that bad, I guess it's pretty heavy after all !
I really like MPC Live 2, it gives you unlimited creative possibilities. the only thing missing is the input for the expression pedal and the input for the sustain pedal.
Fingers crossed they put the is in a new mpc 🙏🏽🙏🏽 this woood be AWSOME
Why not just use a MIDI expression pedal?
@@HammyHavoc 🤔🤔🤔
Thank you for the video, Malo. Do you think there's more menu diving in the Live Ii compared to the MPC One? Or are the shortcuts on the Live II helpful to minimize the menu diving?
I don't find it much different and it's not difficult. This shit is simple man !
@@auntjenifer7774 👊
More menu diving or pressing shift than the one. I’ve owned both and the one was the best workflow for muscle memory. Live 2 felt disjointed and the buttons were geared for live performance (hence the name) more than beat making.
MPC Live 2 or One+? I'm torn, but leaning toward the Live 2 for flexibility. Will they drop a new MPC Live soon?
Hi, i'm looking for a new hobbie and this has peaked my interest. I've no expereince in music making, would this be a good machine to get for a complete noob/beginner?
Hey i wanted to ask the new mpc live 2 comes with allll the plug ins right that the x comes with ???
What happens when the rechargeable battery dies? How easy/expensive are they to replace???
The fact you can use the mpc live 2 without a cord is huge to me because if you are in a space that you can't use a cord it's not an issue
Definitely the best sample out ❤
greatest machines on the planet!
🔥🔥🔥
Thank you brother 🤜🏽🤛🏽
Your speaking voice has funky cadence bro. Very melodic, like jazz! Do you only make beats or u a rapper?
thanks bro! thinking about getting one, peace
Nice review, thanks! But why is the camera swaying so much, were you on a cruise? ;p
Te la rifas compita. Bendiciones.
Gracias carnal 🤜🏽🤛🏽
You still rocking with the octatrak?
first beat is amazing, anywhere where I can listen?
let me ask you a sampling question that bothers me, and probably not just me. And so the question itself is: How to work with a sample recorded in AKAI if it is not perfect, that is, it has a floating pitch. After all, in this case it is very difficult to register a bass part for a sample, for example. After all, a floating sample pitch will constantly be knocked out of key by a certain number of cents, semitones. In this case, the sample will fall into dissonance with, for example, the prescribed synthesizer parts. Or is reality not as critical as it seems? 🤔
I just wish MPC 3.0 had polarity flip.. one of the few very basic "pro" features missing from it all these years.
lets goooo!
That beat tho👌🏻🔥🔥
Being as though the MPC Live 2 came out over a year ago do you think it’s worth buying one today?
Wait till NAMM in April
YOU ARE THE ILLEST! THANK YOU FOR SPARKING THE MUSIC COMMUINITY!
Thank you carnal 🤜🏽🤛🏽. This means a lot coming from you.
NAsty beats aughghgha yeah
Gracias 🙏🏽
👍
can the akai live 2 connect to wifi ?
Yes it has wifi also
What about the MPC Studio
The MPC studio is great if you enjoy the hybrid of working in the box with the hardware but I hardly ever use my computer due to my living situation so I enjoy working in a standalone machine like the MPC live, maybe once I move out to my new place. I feel like I will be using my computer a lot more and will probably bring out the MPC studio and use it a bit more.
@@malobeats Thank you, Malo. Can't wait to see you put the Studio to use. Blessings!
Tu si sabes!
It definitely needs more ins
Man I love nine soooo much but I just wish it would stop freezing and crashing ever since these last 3 updates it's been a complete nightmare smh I can't even use software mode I nly use stand alone I never fill up the ram at all so there's no reason for crashes my live 1 I had for 2 years before this one and it never really crashed and NEVER froze like this unt maybe it's just mine but I have ther friends like Kirk State he said his dog the same but be has the Mpc X I really really hope these issues fix because I don't have the money to get another one I saved up a long time for this and shouldn't have these issues only after 2 years I make a lot of beats I ant afford to lose ideas I am a long way from those days in the past I just want my gear to work correctly I've tried tried many many things still get invalid serial number error and no audio somtimes too but not a lot it will come back time to time 🤦🏽♂️ I love it still tho
Anyone think a new Akai Live (3?) is coming out soon?
You can't even embed the MPC in a DAW! Service requests will be ignored. Depending on the update, the error alternates between these two states:
1. "When im using two controllers (or DAW), each assigned to its own channel and track, notes cancel each other when identical pitches are played at the same time."
or
2. The shortest note sends a global "note off"! Notes of different note lengths cannot be received. If the DAW sends a whole note C3 on Midi channel (1) and a half note C3 on Midi channel (2) at the same time, the MPC only plays a half note on both channels. The whole note on MIDI channel (1) is cut off.
This gives the MPC an absolute unique selling point as a polyphonic instrument. That's not just sick, it's bold. 'Midi in' can only be understood as a joke. The MPC only works independently. For the money I would never buy an MPC again.
There is a video about it: Enter in the TH-cam search field: 'MPC X / Live Two Bugs'. The video is from 'Creative Spiral'.
That room looks like an album cover waiting to happen....
❤😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
