How to Get Nearly Unlimited Tracks in the MPC Beats Software - Workaround

[callmetonyrose]

I've had my MPK Mini 3 for a week now and every tutorial on youtube has left me scratching my head... this is by far the best tutorial ive seen yet, , , and I never comment - but this one deserved it .. great job and thanks

[jacknofilter]

This is easily the best tutorial of MPC beats for absolute beginners

[ERIKwTheK]

You just explained MPC beat making as my Special Ed lab teacher used to help me understand. Now I’m going to go back over your video several times and then I’ll see y’all at the Music Grammy’s. Thanks so much for keeping me focused. (New subscriber)

4 years later and a wealth of info here. Just got my mpk mini and I feel like this bridged a huge knowledge gap for me. Great content!

[brianwood]

This is a great walk-through. So many videos like this are too fast and aren't comprehensive.

Your style works for my learning. Keep up the great work. 🙌

My good young brother. I'm truly old school meaning I still have the mpc 60 ii.. the M1. My friends begged me to get into the new way of composing. I have mpc beats and the mpk 3 controller. I have reached out to so many people on YouTube to help me learn the new language and did not get the help I need your video has helped me a million. You are truly helping and blessing the community. Like the group X Clan said. ...Heed the words of a brother. Bless you young King.

I looked at a bunch of Beats videos. This one had what the others had missing: How to select instruments, how to sample and edit samples. Thanks!

[KeefeBlack]

A video on the unlimited tracks would be great, bruh. Best explaination of the MPC Beats DAW to date. Thanks.

[chefkibby]

4:44 I’ve watched so many tutorials and none of them answered the midi mapping question. Thank you so much!

[insaintify]

Hands down the best tutorial I’ve come across yet. You enabled me to actually make something. I enjoyed the whole process and your explanation. Thank you.

[skizzraw]

Yoooo, you just saved me from sending my windows tablet back to Amazon, and depression that I made a mistake asking for this complicated piece of equipment for my birthday. For 2weeks, I’ve been looking for someone to just have a video on how to make a beat in detail.!!! Man, I’m subbing to your Chanel and looking for more videos. Your better than the Akai videos. I learned all that I need to get my beats turned to songs. If you just watch and follow along, you’ll be able to make a beat in no time. Thank you sooo much!!!

[Sanginez]

Thanks a lot, man! Your Tutorial is way better than the official MPC beats video tutorial series.

[NJEXECUTIONER]

Always Come back to this video. Great place to be right here.

[RoccocoVs]

This is the best, most in-depth and easiest tutorial to follow for this program

[stacystacksbeats]

PERFECT VIDEO! This what Metro Boomin was doing! yet never told it

dope beat!

[riggster]

You did this 2yrs ago and I'm barely learning how to use MPC. This is a very good tutorial and I'm glad you made it. Please keep up the good work! This video is much appreciated 😊 Thank You

[TrippaC]

I knew this was gonna be a great tutorial when I heard the detector chirp 😂 but fr tho this was an amazing tutorial man. Wasting no time and giving the exact info a beginner needs, last thing any beginner needs is someone yappin more than teaching.

[el_watashi]

[emiquincey]

I'm so glad this was recommended to me I was getting demoted making beats causs I lacked the information
