Just bought a MPC One today and this video has helped me alot. I just ordered a SD card and reader, didn't know I could put an 250gb SSD card into my mpc. I have one in storage I'm going to grab because of this video. You definitely opened my mind up to the capabilities of the newer (Live, One, X, etc) MPCs. Thanks, I support this channel!

To Tell you a little bit about my situation. I have been into music my whole life, I started off DJing and got to know everything and learned it all to be able to make my own songs with a beatthang. I got I'll from toxic mold poisoning years ago and it took years to get better from it, it caused me to forget some of the things I learned, so I have to refresh on them some. Like how a song goes from begining to end from into to outro, how bars should go, etc.. I remember some things, like counting, matching, mixing bpms, but I don't know where to start on my beatthang. I wanted to get back into music now that I am better so I thought I would go out and buy new good gear like the mpc live II and learn on it and start there. I looked for mpc tutorials and none of them were any good. I came across yours and clicked with you and was able to understand you. Your are by far the best ones!

Dope video bro. It's very detailed great job. Akai needs to give you a endorsement!!!!

[frankbloom]

This info is priceless for someone starting out on the MPC world. I really like your approach, you definitely have an effective way to teach this stuff, and it's been super helpful for me! Cheers!

I just want to say that I've found all your videos super helpful. My mpc work flow has become so much easier thanks to your videos.

This is so practical and helpful! Just ordered an mpc live 2 and this list of 'stuff to get going' has the solutions/answers to all my questions.... Links and everything!! Thank you... ☺

[tommydowd]

Great video! Really appreciate how quickly you were able to get through all the gear and what it does.

Can i use an audio interface instead of a preamp for my mic directly to the mpc?

[Melodic]

Is there a cheaper recorder to live stream your music besides the H6 zoom?

[DR.SCRUFF]

I hope you never change, you are so pleasant

I love the mpc live.. now with all the new updates you can hook a interfacer straight up to it.I hook my speakers straight to it but I’ll probably end up hooking my volt interface to it cause I have the volt176 with built in compressor and all.But i dropped a 1tb ssd drive inside my live so I got allot of space.this thing is awesome and there’s plenty to learn.im having a blast with my live.I hooked my akai mpk249 in the back through midi cables so I can use the keyboard.now they have all the plug ins it’s good to go

[stevotrucker]

What size laptop would i need to run my mpc live?thank you

[BronzeArms]

I use a snare stand (top) and a cymbal stand (bottom) for the mpc live. It works great and you can tilt it and stuff and its stable.

[TAICHIJOELAMP]

can I use the art tube for the mpc one?

[cordlesswire]

id like a wireless setup for my mpc live mk2. bluetooth of live does not do audio, so any suggestions? i was thinking bluetooth transmitter and then transmitting to either living room soundbar (subpar option) or other bluetooth enabled speakers, but am worried about latency. any other solutions out there? any info is much appreciated.

[kirkstate]

I have a MPC X and all this advice applies..thanks

[ktreier]

If you install an SSD and forgot to format it first connect the MPC to your PC and put the MPC into Controller mode, you can then use Disk Manager to initialize and format the drive as exFAT.

[dankpizzle]

Great vid man. Always inspiring and helpful but what would I need to have clean and clear audio as what I hear in your videos??

[trurasta]

How do you map pads or knobs on your midi controller to the mpc live
