Now that we are on the topic of drums, what are some of your go-to drum sample packs, any recommendations? my favorite right now is any Marco Polo Sample packs.
For expansions Masada MPC cycle kits, Dirty Drummer series from mpc-samples. Loop/sample packs Beat Butcha, Marco Polo, Jeremy Page, J-Zone packs off Drum Broker. There are a few good boom bap ones on Akai too. I just got Kit-maker.com to build my own expansions but maybe I need to tweak the settings because I'm not getting full 16 pad programs. Maybe need to fix my file names/data. But I love the expansion format for quickly loading a bunch of kits instead of chopping and assigning one by one.
One idea I had while watching you sequence in the grid editor was that you can turn on TC (quantize) and set it to a desired swing, then record in notes for an empty pad using the note repeat. Then you’ll have a nice visual reference for where the “swung” notes should be. I hope Akai adds some type of groove quantize at some point too. I also like to turn on TC but leave the strength at less than 40%. That way everything is slightly tightened up but still organic.
Hey Nick, this is interesting I never tried this but it’s some thing that I want to test out myself now. I usually record unquantized but I like how you mentioned you can set the quantize strength to about 35 to 40% and see what I get from there. Thank you for this ima try this out
Hey brother, that’s awesome and I’m super excited for you I’m sure you’re going to love it. My recommendation for getting familiar with the unit is take it one step at a time and learn it piece by piece and have fun while you’re at it.
That grid was one of the top things on my list for wanting the MPC One. It is a very clear way of presenting your drums, chords and notes. One of the best ways to quickly edit a sequence for my synths. Especially if your are used to FLstudio. Great vid!
Hey brother, yes I agree with the way you say especially coming from Ableton it makes it very easy to nudge over certain notes it’s been amazing to work with
Hey brother, yeah it’s amazing what they can do and I’m sure there’s so much other tools that I’m not aware of myself. Thank you for taking the time and checking out the video by the way
Thank you brother, I highly appreciate you taking the time and sharing the Zinput it really means a lot and yes absolutely here’s a link of a few of my tracks. malo1.bandcamp.com/track/primer-amor
Hey Paul, thank you for this feedback, yes I am trying a new format and experimenting with how I deliver these videos and your feedback is extremely valuable I’ll be working on that on the next few videos. Blessings to you Paul.
Could you do a video detailing the step sequencer for drums and automations? Admittedly a very poor non ambidextrous finger drummer here. Thanks 🙏🏽 we appreciate all of these videos
That would be awesome and I’m definitely a fan boy lol I really do enjoy using the MPC versus any other sampler/drum machine. Thank you so much for the support and taking your time to leave this feedback it really means a lot blessings to you
Great workflow. If I run into some who is new to the MPC I'll be sure to give them the link to this video. I learned some stuff that I can use in the MPC beats software.(Can't afford the MPC One yet)But actually the software is great. Thanks for the video
You thought of branching out to the akai force? I would watch these tutorials if you do. I have the mpc one and the akai force. The akai force has ableton intergration so you can use it to control the features in ableton through its wireless connectivity. Its clip based not sequence based though. Thanks I learnt a few new things in this video.
Hahaha man it’s funny you mention this because I’m on the market to get another drum machine and the Force is on my list. I’m definitely interested. How do you like it and is it different from the MPC one or is it pretty similar?
@@malobeats I would go the Akai Force hands down. I am in love with it. If you like the MPC one you would be impressed by the force. It even has its own DAW. The grid view, sample edit and a few other features are the same as the mpc one. Its the layout of how you setup the beat that is different cause it is in clips. Hope this helps!! btw I think your videos are quite professional which makes it more engaging as a viewer.
I have been using My Mac for Click tracks, I would use GarageBand to loop them, they are only about 6 to 10 seconds long. I transferred them to the MPC one via usb. All I wana do is load them (which I did) and loop them and use them like I did with my Mac, I don’t need to edit or cut them… just wana load them, loop them and save them. How do I do this?
@@yohonthewolf Yes sir, all these beats that I’ve been working on on some of these videos I’m getting them together and putting them out on streaming platforms so definitely keep you guys posted as soon as I publish them.
Very nice work. How do you get your output to RUclips. Example: if I want someone to hear something I’m working on and it isn’t finished, Instead of holding my cell phone next to the speaker, how would I make the sound quality sound like they are in the room with me. Sort of like if it were an MP3 file or something
Hi Jonny and thank you for the feedback, yes in regards to getting a clean feed from my mpc to the computer I use this cable amzn.to/3m9iPTg and connect it to my audio interface or if you don’t have one you can also connect it to your mic input on your computer and it will give you a clean feed
I have several different sequences for intro, verse, chorus... do I have to make a track exclusively for each variation? (either in the drums or in the sample) to later be able to export it by stems without problem? if someone can help me 🙏🙏
Hi, thank you so much for the video. I have made a track, how can I trim the track? I have a track created with 3/4 of 8 bars but I want to cut the track at 6.2 (6 bars and 2 beats), it would be really appreciated if you could let me know how to do that
Malo, why do you have to track out your beats, samples and sequences to Ableton? Couldn't you do more or less the same thing on MPC Software? As a newbie, I was just wondering. Thank you, brother. Blessings!
Great question David, I personally feel more comfortable mixing and mastering enable 10 but I’ve heard some people really love the MPC software as well little by little I’m getting more comfortable mixing and mastering on the MPC software it just falls down to personal preference in my opinion they both do a great job it’s just whatever you’re more comfortable in
Hey Elliot thank you so much for this feedback I appreciate you taking the time and checking out some of my videos. Definitely I’ll check out your channel

MSXII got some good sample packs
@@ZVWVVZ Thanks for this, are his samples on splice or can I find it on a website other than splice?
Send me your email in IG.. I’ll make a drop box and send you the one I’m using.
@@malobeats He's got Akai expansions too, msxaudio.com, hiphopdrumsamples.com I think had a 40% off deal not sure if still running.

My MPC gets here tomorrow and your videos have been very helpful. Hopefully I’ll be able to figure it out quickly once it’s in my hands

I didnt know I could cut out notes crazy. Thanks keep it up.

Hello, Malo. Can you please tell me what the sample is in your video? I’d like to hear the original version of it! Thanks. 😊
I’ve ordered mine ive new using the Renaissance but I’ve converted me hope it’s as good as it looks
If you already on the MPC workflow I’m sure you’re gonna love what this machine can do an offer.
Thanks, I have been waiting for a video on this for a long time.
Hey Michael, thank you so much for the support and taking the time to watch the video. I’m glad you got some information out of it
Dude, watching the Grid Editor part of this set off so many lightbulbs for me. Thank you!
Do you have music out there that we can check out?
Thank you brother, I highly appreciate you taking the time and sharing the Zinput it really means a lot and yes absolutely here’s a link of a few of my tracks. malo1.bandcamp.com/track/primer-amor
Great workflow and still very musical, because off grid. I also like how you have a Digitakt box in the background 😄
Great Video, an advice, may be you can put the mpc one camera more big and you more little, to see the screen more big.
Regards.
Paul

Thanks for the video Malo, hey can you make a video about dealing with Phase issues on the MPC? I want to do it all inside the MPC, when I can
You are the best man. I hope to see you working for Akai very soon, of course if you happy with that. Thank you so much mate. Cheers

First 🥇
Hey where you get your mpc covers from
Hey brother, yes I got my mpc cover form mpcstuff.com it is the retro cover
Your videos are so useful thanks dude. Been using the MPC one for 6 months, I post my progress on my channel check it out!
