MPC Studio Unboxing and Initial Impressions

MPC Studio Unboxing and Initial Impressions

Welcome to my unboxing and initial impressions of the brand new Akai MPC Studio! The MPC Studio is a MIDI controller specifically designed for the MPC software, and works with both PC and Mac computers. Akai was kind enough to send me a review unit, and even though I'm typically a dawless musician, I decided to give it a shot! In this video I'll walk you through my pre-use expectations, the unboxing experience, the basic workflow, and my initial thoughts and impressions. Be sure to stay tuned for my full review video coming soon. For now, let me know your thoughts, ask any questions you may have, and enjoy the video :)

Congratulations on getting some recognition from Akai! The effort you put into your channel really shows and I'm glad more people are starting to notice. Keep up the great work!

You are now officially a member of the big music YouTubers. 😀

Looks like a really cool way to get into MPC. I may get one to use when I'm at my desktop and not using my MPC One.

Cool video by the way and congrats on being approached by Akai. I've watched all of your MPC One videos.

[UltimoEnemigo]

Congrats for the recognition man, you deserve it; the way you present your gear and tunes makes it very enjoyable for us the viewers.

10 mins in this review right here is thorough. Looks good

[alex-r-t]

Whoa! Nice scoop dude, and congrats on getting the hookup with Akai!

[wiggesobk]

Oh yeah that's so cool! Congrats Free Beat and shout out to Akai 🙌

[JakeSweeper]

When I saw MPC Studio in the title, my first thought was, "Wow, Freebeat's going a little old-school.", because there was an MPC Studio awhile back which was a more cost-effective option to the the Renaissance; much like the MPC One is to the X.
So imagine my surprise when I see the box. :)
If it has generic control option, I may be looking at a replacement for my MPD218.

Congratulations, FreeBeat! I’ve been a confirmed DAWless musician (I, too love my MPC One) but this hybridized concept is pretty enticing. Let’s see where you go. Have fun!

[susmanfromamogs]

Wow Dude I love you for covering this
I wanted to get the old studio for so long
And I might cop this

[martinneal]

Fantastic Free it as I am sure Akai will be happy to hear. They should consider giving you support to further the explanation of these. I can see how this unit, could propel people like myself into their high level gear.

[DavidDeLuge]

Now that looks really good. The fact that you can control so much without touching the mouse or computer keyboard, is great. Personally, I still prefer to be completely computerless and that's why I have the Deluge, the MV-1 and the Circuit Rhythm. I stare at a screen all day and so hardware with no or minimal screen is awesome.

What a great time to jump Into Mpc, wow what a deal

[_-Marcel-_]

Very cool that AKAI reaches out to you!! Congratulations!! I like this new favorable gear and in my opinion it is very well integrated to the MPC software.

[SkelaKing]

CONGRATS!! I was always wondering when you’d start getting big sponsorships! Hopefully more to come and more great content becuase of it!

[dustyaudio]

I hope your future daw videos might include the M P C Software. Congrats on the akai recognition! Deserved

[GerenM]

Awesome, dude! Congrats! And, the MPC Studio looks pretty solid, too.

[digitaldiezel]

I agree! I’d like to be able to plug it into the Akai Force but certainly not something I expect. The studio is great if you want to build your entire beat in the MPC Software! I had the first version. Now I use it as a compatibility tool more than a DAW.

You officially made it. You are now on the same list as gabe miller music, who released his unboxing/first time use video literally in the same few minutes as you :)

You're in dang good company. You should maybe try networking with some other music dudes, maybe do a roulette video (sending a song back and forth and both artists adding to it until it's 'done enough'.

We used to do that when I was making levels for videogames, we'd have a server full of people and everyone would contribute their own style and section to the level.

You have made me want to start a music channel. Like, I already wanted to, but watching your journey has been inspiring. I noodle around and make some fun stuff even in my amateur capacity. Why not just record the journey? And there are a few things I've learned I bet I could pass along.

Maybe I can be the kaossilator 2s channel, since for some reason that thing always always always inspires me despite the limitations.
