Akai MPC Studio - Getting Started - USB Connection, MPC 2 Software Installation, First Use

If you have the MPC Studio controller and are wondering how to get started, this video is for you! I go step by step through the process of downloading and installing the included software (including the MPC 2 DAW), connecting the MPC Studio controller to the computer, and going through selecting a plugin and playing the MPC Studio for the first time!

Being a first time user of Akai MPC products, I had a little trouble figuring out how to actually use the MPC Studio with the included MPC 2 software without installing any of the sound packs/sound expansions. Hopefully this video helps you if you are struggling with the same thing!

After going through a dozen or more "beginner" pages, I'm glad I found this one. Even AKAI can't seem to teach from the beginning in a clear, direct, concise manner. Thanks much!

Hey guys, do you think, maybe, especially in your video descriptions, you could refer to the mpc studio 2 as, I don't know, perhaps

MPC Studio 2

Instead of
MPC Studio, which is the name shared by two earlier versions (studio and studio black) that are very much not the mpc studio 2?
Just a thought.

How do you get the MPC 2 out of Sleep Mode. My LED Display says AKAI Professional but everything else is dark. Thanks for your help.

I need to know how do I retrieve my studio black software again? Some how it just vanished off my MacBook Pro!

[foreverstandalonellc]

Hey I have a Mpc studio black how can I get my MacBook to recognize my Mpc studio black on the audio midi setup

[CheddaHimself]

What's the fastest way to transfer my projects to my computer. In bulk if possible?? Please help

[joesafdeye]

For some reason, the MIDI and Audio section on the whole left-hand side aren't showing up in my home tab; any possible reason for this?

[JoshuaLewandowski]

I downloaded everything and set up the license and it brought me straight to the "studio" part ( where I can edit the music and such), how do I get to this screen (5:16)?

[braylenmleczko]

I can’t here my thing and I did all the steps is there sound settings you have to do in the app

[seanholland]

Hey @DSoundman - great videos - Did you ever work out how to download the FREE MPC packs offered when you register - My coupon doesn't seem to make any difference to the price. Learning a lot for the videos - thanks
