How you gonna call this video “File management” and turn around and teach us EVERYTHING? I just learned so much!! Great work as always! Much appreciated!
Lol That’s what it was supposed to be but realized I ended up doing an entire beat while I was at it and didn’t want it to go to waste LOL. Thanks a lot brother appreciate your support. Blessings
Was surprised to get so much practical knowledge from a simple explanation on MPC file management. The perfect first step into MPC workflow. Putting most other MPC intro/beginner tutorials to shame. Thank you!
16:00 File Saving Tip: When saving your songs, include the date (yyyy-mm-dd) and add the key and bpm. Naming your songs like this will change your life... And your sanity 😎
I couldn’t agree with you anymore especially with the BPM I’ve had so many times where I don’t save the BPM and I have to recall the beat on the MPC to check the BPM. Blessings brother and thank you for this amazing insight
Wait if you are not adding key and bpm to the song that's a problem on its own should be standard practice but most people don't even realize chord progressions actually exist and staying in key
Hey Rojoz, Man brother it’s really means a lot you have no idea. Thank you for taking time and checking out some of my videos it really does mean a lot, appreciate you brother.
Man, Israelin hits deep and I’m grateful that these videos have been California your new journey. I’m excited for you, and feel free to reach out if you have any questions. 🙏🏽
That was an awesome video. I'm glad it was in depth. You're a good teacher, brother. That beat reminded me of early 90's DJ Muggs. Thank you again. Bendiciones!
I haven’t produced in about 3 years. I was using the Maschine MK II , and I’m considering getting the mpc today. It’s daunting trying to learn new things and contend with life, but your tutorials are helping me to connect the dots and make me pull the trigger on the mpc one. My biggest gripe with Maschine was the sequencer. Even with the addition of ideas mode, I never felt like I could seamlessly create variation. NI put a lot of unnecessary plugins on sounds as well, so I’d spend a lot of time designing sounds within the software, only to be limited by the cumbersome arranger. Thank you for the tutorials bro 💪🏾
Hey Benjamin, thank you so much for taking the time to leave this feedback it really means a lot and I appreciate the support on the channel. Thank you brother and blessings to you
@@malobeats I can dig it… this is actually what I’ve been holding out for. I admit I originally hated the shaped but the the Live II but it definitely makes up for it in features. I’m happy to be apart of the #MPCGang
Excellent tutorial! I think the way you edit the beat afterwards is really convenient if you come from Ableton. Another handy way is to copy a pattern into different sequences and then edit them from there and later on you can work using the song sections, but this process takes a little more time. Again, I’m glad I found your channel, take care!
Hey Pablo, yes I’ve been really working much faster with that method lately, coming from Ableton it just made sense for me to piece my song together in that format
Those are some great ideas. I get my samples from a Patreon and they're all together in the same folder. Most of the times I only know that i used them after listening to them all again. What I'm doing right i creating folders with the date of the download so i can know which are the most recent ones. I don't think I can realistically,atm go to the samples and organize them like you do,but i hope this way helps me. I'm gonna try to place future drum loops/samples in a separate folder. Thank you for the video! Another subject,i think I need some monitors,mostly because of my #shorts. Any budget and small ones you'd recommend? I've seen some, but i don't think those sites understand the meaning of budget. Or, I'm too poor :D Btw,i have 3 months of Splice. Do you have any video about it? Thanks and keep it up!!
I know what you mean when it comes down to organizing the files well the good thing about splice is that whenever you download a sample pack it creates these folders for you and it organizes them. I definitely want to create a video showing some of my workflow behind splice it would be a great topic.
@@malobeats thanks! I am very curious about it. I have not venture into it because so far i don't have shortage of samples to work with. The MPC allows me bring life to some samples i got from free packs that i thought were whack (flipping them)
@@malobeats question about splice samples: aren't they all chosen by now? Is there anything that's fresh enough to be worth the monthly fee? I have the 3 months,but if it's not that expensive,I'll try to sub it.
@@malobeats and btw,the last comment,as i know I can be annoying. I decided to go with Presonus 3.5 studio monitors. they're compact and all the reviews are positive for the price range
Thanks again Malo for this very helpful and informative video. I have a MPC ONE myself and love that 'template/custom cover' and wondering where I could get one. Thanks
Hey brother thank you so much for taking your time to watch the video and share your feedback and yes the skin cover that I got it was off of mpcstuff.com
what is the easiest way to put an effect on a program ,, you have to choose program fx ,, return that's what I'm lost thank you ,, for example if you want to put an effect on a battery or on a sample what to do program or return etc ...
Hey you know what I just realize that I was doing it the old way after the updates there’s a much faster way to add effects by just going to your program edit and on your very last page you can simply add effects I should have explain that in his video. Hey
@@salix5380 Yes, you are right doing it from the program edit menu is much more convenient and faster I noticed they added that on the update so I was still used to doing it the old way but you are correct
LOL yes it was supposed to be a short video but I kept everything rolling and might as well did a walk-through of my workflow. Thank you for taking the time and checking out the video much love to you brother
@@malobeats Thank you for your kind answer! While scrolling to your videos I just realized, that I already watched a lot of them for the MPC ONE. So why not subscribing now?! :) Best wishes to you and thanks for sharing!
Is it possible to move files from a usb drive to the sd card I put the synth 2.10 update on the usb stick cause I don’t have an sd card slot on the laptop
The file browser needs a total re-design. It's terrible at the moment and the one thing it really lags behind the Maschine. I own both and in Machine the ability to search multiple keywords at a touch like Snare>Acoustic is amazing.

Hahaha of course I would have a misspell lol that’s definitely not my strong point in this process lol hey man, I appreciate you pointing it out for me. Much love and blessings. 🙏🏽🫡
I have a USB thumb drive and an SD card, but when i go to Browser on the MPC one, and to 'Places' these have really odd names, like "AAF8-C883". Is there a way to rename the drives or otherwise tell them apart? haha
Hey Jeremy, yes what I did was formatted my cards on my Mac computer and once you format the cards it will ask you if you want to rename your drive and that’s where you’re able to give it any name you want and it should pop up like that on your MPC and in your computer.
@@malobeats ah that makes sense. I had formatted on the Mpc and not windows because windows acts weird about it… long story lol. I’ll back up my drives and try it

I just stopped by to give a thumbs up 👍🏻
This thumbs up is extremely powerful and heavy on this video. Your thumb holes a lot of value Edgar. LOL love you bro
@@malobeats always gotta support the homies! 🙏🏼
Bro, I don't even have an MPC One or MPC in general but still be watching your videos! One day I'ma cop one! 💯🔥🔥🔥
Hey Rojoz, Man brother it’s really means a lot you have no idea. Thank you for taking time and checking out some of my videos it really does mean a lot, appreciate you brother.
Tiny details that make a huge difference! Fire tutorial, love this new format

Great tutorial ⭐️👏👏👏
Thanks man for doing all these tutorials. I've learn so much from you!

I didn’t know about the returns. Learned something new. This sounds like something the Beatnuts would have done. Dope
Hey Malo great video! Learned so much
Thank you Pete for taking the time to leave this feedback, really means a lot
Thank you pimpin!!🙏🏼🔥🙏🏼🔥
This is more of like a tutorial video. 👍

Hey Benjamin, thank you so much for taking the time to leave this feedback it really means a lot and I appreciate the support on the channel. Thank you brother and blessings to you
@@malobeats Man....you helped me so mutch finishing my first mpc beat and get into the workflow. Keep up the great work brother
I am glad that, FINALLY, your videos are hitting different, now that I got my MPC LIVE II Retro Edition 😁
Hey brother, Man that’s awesome you got the retro live II it looks so beautiful and I’ve been tempted to get one but I already have my MPC one.
@@malobeats I can dig it… this is actually what I’ve been holding out for. I admit I originally hated the shaped but the the Live II but it definitely makes up for it in features. I’m happy to be apart of the #MPCGang

Truly inspirational bro. I would really love to connect with u on some mentorship. Not tryna gas u or nothing, but ur pretty dope 😊.
love it!,,,
but how to just browse into folders and then decide to make a folder. I can't find it?
Those are some great ideas. I get my samples from a Patreon and they're all together in the same folder. Most of the times I only know that i used them after listening to them all again.

Please do a in depth video about how to use "effects" and filters
YooooooooOoOoOo!!!!!✌️😎
exactly ,,i use my sd card only for save my beats and drumkit and expansions
Yes and it’s been very durable it’s never failed me once
please i wanna know the colour of the skin of your mpc and where you buy this please,,very nice
Yes the skin is from mpcstuff.com and it’s the retro skin
@@malobeats thx i see
You already know what I'm gonna ask bro lol... Did that motherducker plug-in work in your daw ?
Thanks again Malo for this very helpful and informative video. I have a MPC ONE myself and love that 'template/custom cover' and wondering where I could get one.
Thanks
Hey brother thank you so much for taking your time to watch the video and share your feedback and yes the skin cover that I got it was off of mpcstuff.com
@@malobeats Malo you the man bro. Thanks so much for your prompt reply, much appreciated. Keep up the good work, all the best.
MALO: How does one avoid copy right strikes on RUclips when dealing with samples? Thank you
14:20 eeeeeeeeeeeeeeew🤢 💯😎🥃
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽lol I was really feeling the sample at that point LOL.
how to make your beat swing feel , I think it will be very fit
what is the easiest way to put an effect on a program ,, you have to choose program fx ,, return that's what I'm lost thank you ,, for example if you want to put an effect on a battery or on a sample what to do program or return etc ...

@@salix5380 Yes, you are right doing it from the program edit menu is much more convenient and faster I noticed they added that on the update so I was still used to doing it the old way but you are correct
@@malobeats yeah ok,,merci for your tuto i love it, ,again broh
Much more than File Management! Very helpful and nice Beat! Thank you!

Is it possible to move files from a usb drive to the sd card I put the synth 2.10 update on the usb stick cause I don’t have an sd card slot on the laptop
Hey Jason, great question I think you should be fine it shouldn’t have an issue but I have not tried that myself.
The file browser needs a total re-design. It's terrible at the moment and the one thing it really lags behind the Maschine. I own both and in Machine the ability to search multiple keywords at a touch like Snare>Acoustic is amazing.
Btw,when you save your beats,what's the default folder?
projects
i am lost in the fx,,, return ,,program,,
Hey you know what I just realize that I was doing it the old way, after the updates there’s a much faster way to add effects by just going to your program edit and on your very last page you can simply add effects I should have explain that in his video.
Return and send is kind of like extra Masters, if I understand correct. Like putting motherduckers on programs.
Great vid but you spelled stems wrong on your MPC, you spelled it setms. Just saying.
Hahaha of course I would have a misspell lol that’s definitely not my strong point in this process lol hey man, I appreciate you pointing it out for me. Much love and blessings. 🙏🏽🫡
