This is literally the whole manual explained here, this took an awful lot of time to put together, I take my hat off to you sir and you are an excellent teacher and very articulate and very detailed . Thanks for taking your time to upload such valuable information.
I'm 46 minutes in and I've already learned more about the MPC than I have in a year of watching other MPC videos. My unit arrives any day now, and I thought I'd bitten off more than I could chew until I found your guide. Thanks so much, I can't wait to get started 🙂
Bro you are the superman . These people want to keep you guessing for some stupid reason I guess this is how they make their money. People like yourself, you bring less stress to finding out how this stuff works, I appreciate you so much🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
@@SampleKingsVideos love the videos for sure. Will you have any videos regarding a closer look at sampling at all and sample editing ? Mainly regarding time stretching, warping, semi tone and pitch? Especially when the tone throws off that perfect 2-4-8 bar loop and the bpm loop is off. Thanks !!!
This is incredible. I didn't expect to find a full course on YT. I can't thank you enough for all the work and dedication. You saved me tons of time. Hugs from Belgium bro.
Boss man!! This is so incredibly in depth. Thank you so so much for teaching me every single little thing about my new machine. You’re very selfless and generous for giving this course out for free.
Got my mpc live 2 yesterday.. downloaded this video yesterday, made my first beat yesterday lol… not perfect yet, but I can’t put it down , so I’ll be a pro in no time.. thanks for this video
As a new user, the learning curve is extensive on the live 2 .. thanks for shortening the curve for me ..fyi, by helping others you are building up your treasures where rust and thieves cannot get at it... Thanks for the help...
As someone who got the Live 2 a couple of days ago - this is a fantastic explanation, not only cos of what it covers but the clear explanations too, not only a great tutorial on the box, but a great tutorial to anyone doing a YTube demonstration vid ! - worth the sub for this alone, edited to see your other vids - thanks !
I have had my mpc a year now… I have to watched numerous videos and still apprehensive about even touching the thing. You’ve given me to courage to actually sit down, breathe, and just touch the thing. Thank you kind sir for putting this video together. I need to learn this on a therapeutic level at this point.
He's very thorough and to the point and dosen't cloud the tutorial with unnecessary extra wording lol. He makes sure you understand step by step. That's a great teacher.
I’ve had my mpc live 2 since June of 2020, there’s still a lot of stuff Features I don’t know, I just use my experience from using FRuity Loops since the first version. I’ve read the comments and from what I saw this is the most in-depth tutorial. I’m going to watch the whole thing just because of the comments. I will give my take once I finish.
I coming from Logic Pro X with a MPC Studio. I got the MPC Studio as a introductory to the standalone version. I absolutely love the workflow on the MPC. I ordered the MPC Live V2 and its on its way. I learned more from the 1st 30 mins of this video then the week of hands on messing around with MPC Studio. I definitely feel ahead of the game with this video. This video is like the MPC Bible. Great job with the video, definitely subbing right now!

Congrats i just bought mine, its a studio in a box. Literally nothing else is needed. I mean it can either capture or manipulate any sound. Its kind of hard to wrap your head around the power this machine is capable of. Even has a expansion HD slot for storage its crazy. You could easily run a live show from this 1 machine.
@@mkII. yup, that's the plan... I'm sitting here now with it. Bad news tho, I got a fuckin dud. The battery dosent work. It's gotta be plugged it at all times. I love it tho, I just gotta exchange it for one that works. I got a gig in st. Louis on march 19th at the art gallery. Hopefully I'll have it sorted out by then.
@@mikec538 congrats homie!! I've honestly been working with this more than my main daw. I just keep finding things that it does. I'm using a minibrute 2s with it but I'm thinking about trading them both in for a live 2. Idk yet, there just so much fun together. ✌️🎶🎧
Much respect due for the instruction you provide in this video. If not already, you should be teaching this in college classes. Also, when purchased my MV8000 last year your video on that device was helpful too. Keep up the good work and I hope you’re being reimbursed for this because it’s amazing!

Just picked up my own MPC Live II… and I found this video on TH-cam… I’ve watched a quarter of it and I decided to find you on IG and purchase the video. Great work! I have to tell you! Honestly… You broke it down in nice bite sized pieces. My comfort level changed by just watching this video. Soon, I’ll be uploading videos using it, thanks to you 🙏🙌🫡
Thank U so very much for this masterfully done masterpiece of the mpc live 2 MASTER OF MASTERCLASSES ever put 2gether!U truly deserve compensation for this,how can I repay U SIR?
Hey man sorry to blow u up, but now when I try to load almost any drums samples it just keeps saying "the sample already exists", but its not loaded in the program on the main screen?! Any idea?, is my machine faulty?!, I'm kinda of trippin, I just wanna create some music man
Also, it seems any samples I put into the machine is rather muffled compared to how it sounded prior to it going into the machine, any tips on how to fix that as well?! That would b sooo awesome, thanks a billion man!!
I love your videos . I love how you explain things and how you give a close up shot of the MPC Live 2 . I just wish that you made a few videos about what the buttons mean . Make a video about the MPC Live 2 itself . Then make a video about how to make a beat . Seems like this is what you are doing in this video but it's to long . You can edit this video and make a few videos explaining things if you have time please . I can tell that you are a pro and you truly know what you are doing but for a beginner like me it can seem very overwhelming. I love music . You seem like a smart person . Miss . Linda 😀😀😀❤
I'm enjoying this instructional video. I have a question about auditioning a sound at 58:04. How were you able to play a sound without holding down the play button?
Hey SampleKings, definitely appreciate all the tutorial videos on the MPC products.. I would love to see you guys do one on Isla instruments S2400 .. Since you guys are kings of the sampler..

I don't have a MPC LIVE 2 anymore it was given to me to review and I did this instructional video for my TH-cam fans. If I can get one soon from AKAI I will make an all production video that will include making beats.
Maybe tube digga or Mathew Stratton and and there are some old shorter in depth OG MPC Live videos that came throughout the first 2 years when it was first released..
Does this also apply to the 1st MPC Live (I guess the workflow will not be that different) I got it now for over a year and can´t really wrap my head around it as the workflow seems pretty confusing to me
i think the 1 and 2 are pretty much the same except the speaker option. i have 45 minutes left took me a couple days to get through it. everything you need to know is in it. just sit through it and watch it go watch the part again if you dont understand it. doc knows what hes doing your good on this, you got this. its a blessing he put so much time into it and you can walk it through with him.
This is literally the whole manual explained here, this took an awful lot of time to put together, I take my hat off to you sir and you are an excellent teacher and very articulate and very detailed . Thanks for taking your time to upload such valuable information.

he repeats himself over and over and over. He spent over a minute repeating himself on pinch zooming. I find it unbearable and stopped at that point.
I’m just purchased the Mpc live 2 Retro … these are absolutely amazing ..
Incredible
I noticed you guys did the video for the MPC 60 too. Sample Kings? more like Sample Gods.

Does this also apply to the 1st MPC Live (I guess the workflow will not be that different) I got it now for over a year and can´t really wrap my head around it as the workflow seems pretty confusing to me

is it possible to move a midi track from one position to another? example: if I have a synth on track 6, can I move it to 2?
Good Tutorial , but if you wanna audition the Send EFX , better use a Percussive Sound imho . But very helpful Vid , Cheers
