The 5K is a beast I got mines ten years ago still going strong no crashes or none of that ✌️
That is awesome. I’m starting to love it more. I really wanted a 2000xl but now I don’t regret my choice
Don’t tell me it never glitched or slowed down/stalled for a moment.Tend to do that…
I updated to the version 2 OS, installed a 1tb SSD and removed the 80gb hard drive (it was the main thing slowing it down, and I treat it like a machine from 2008 not like a machine from 2024. It’s not super fast so I don’t run through menu’s super fast like I do on the studio 2. I have had it hang once loading files, when I was rushing. Hasn’t since.
If I remember correctly, the fan's default orientation is set to intake, which only cools the input side of the PSU, causing the output side to become very hot. I recapped the output, reversed the original fan to exhaust, and added a second 40mm fan blowing directly onto the output side. You need to be mindful of the second fan’s angle, as it might blow the hot air onto the boards.
I did not know that. That is really good to know. What I ended up doing as a solution was taking a external powered ventilation fan that has high airflow but low noise and set it up behind the unit to have the air flow into it. I’m probably gonna look at which way the air flows and set it up more efficiently
@@PetrolMediaInc Reversing the stock fan's orientation and adding a second one is the way to go. You might also consider using Noctua's 40mm fans.
Does the mpc 5000 come with built in drum sounds or no? That’s been something I’ve been thinking about before I buy one 😅
No built in drums. Though you can download the original drum sample pack that came with it I believe but it’s not in the machine. It does come with a built in synth. At my website www.petrolmediainc.com I have kits for it that are already formatted to function with all of the samplers of that era.
@@PetrolMediaInc thank you bro 💯💯 I’ve been looking online for an answer and didn’t find one so I came to your video 🔥
Im so glad I bought the MPC ONE...But good content friend, cant wait to hear the new stuff.
The One is amazing just not my thing. I have the studio 2 as well which allows me to use the newer software. I want to buy a new MPC as well, but I’ll wait a bit. Currently I don’t need it to do what I am currently doing.
@@PetrolMediaInc what are you currently doing?
@RegalToneT working on music for various projects.
@@PetrolMediaInc okay 👍🏾
Soooo… when you gonna talk about that 5000 more? I finally got one and I can hear an immense difference from working in the box. Believe me I’m excited about production again because of this machine!
Thank you for asking about that. I’ve actually been meaning to get back to filming about this device. My schedule has been really busy with the family and everything else so now that we’re in the summer months I’m going to start filming more content on the different devices so I will be covering That one very soon.
I want to get one
MPC Stuff is a good source for spare parts. I pimped mine and added the CD drive from them.
I lucked out and mine came with it. I have to check if it burns CD's. I will make update videos on this unit soon.
@PetrolMediaInc just dusting mine off so please do!!!!
The 5000 in my opinion is a monster and I love it , the problem was it came out after the 4000 and many thought it was going to be like the 4000 but with even more which it does have but akai also took things away , the first os did not help the 5000, really the 5000 is a upgrade from the 2500.
I agree!
Def you need 2 of these if trying working hard on it. It breaks... and you stop. Love it... but it breaks. HD recording has several bugs. Its easy to lose recordings
I might buy a second one for parts but so far I’ve had no issue. It’s not a bad idea considering how few 5000’s were sold.
@@PetrolMediaInc Love it... but it rests too much on yhe repair shop... I bought a 2500 last week just to keep things going. Lets see. When it bugsit is frustrating. Also, if you find a good way to hd record I will apreciate if you share.
@@Zemael I will try out the internal recording soon and I’ll see what I find because I haven’t tried it yet. And I think the reason why you’re feeling like it’s in the shop a lot is if you’ve gotten it used from someone else they haven’t thoroughly taken care of it so of course there’s gonna be some issues. With mine, I realized when I first got it I had to take apart certain things and check to make sure they were OK and then once I found all of the issues I resolved most of them and it should be fine for years but I agree having spare parts is a good idea. And in all honesty, the only reason why I have is because I love it I started with it (the 2000xl), and it’s workflow makes sense to me. But most of the time when I have to get something done for a deadline, I’m just using logic, Pro or Serato studio.
@@Zemael the reason I went with this over the 2000 XL, and why I picked up the 1000 as well is because of the ability to transfer via USB or compact flash to the computer and launch the same session inside of the MPC studio two software. This allows for an easy transfer of files to create stems for me to mix in logic, which is where I mix in the end anyway. I have a video on my channel about that whole process.
Very good MPC but I dont think you could record in 24bit 96k..You can do that on the 4000..That was the only MPC that allowed that..The 5k has a nice built in synth and a smooth workflow.
It is a good MPC. I’m not sure why they went with 16bit for the 5000 after the 4000 was set to 24 a bit, and you are correct you cannot create in sequence in 24 bit. However, the built-in hard disk recording when using the eight track recording mode allows for 24-bit 96K. Again, not sure why that was allowed for that, however, that feature only works if the plan is to export those files via a USB port, or pull them off the drive to drop in to DAW on your computer. If you’re going to burn to a cd, it has to be 16 bit. Only the 8track hard disk recording supports 24bit 96khz.
I have a 32 channel mixing console so most of the time I’m going to record all the tracks at once directly through that, and into my DAW.
@@PetrolMediaInc So what are the steps to doing it?? I have an MPC 5000..Id like to know if I could export in 24bit/96k..I know you can export in 24bit..but I didn't think it supported 96k..How do you do it?
@@kevinsullivan2360you can’t export in 24/96. Only record to the hard disk via the 8 track recording mode then transfer it. It’s in the manual on page 58 or so.
Cool vid. I’m a fan and I subscribed. Keep on keeping on….😎
Will do. Thank you!
Just got one minutes ago lol $500
Check to see if the fan that cools the power supply is running. And if you’re comfortable with it, open it up and dust it out. That’s really the only thing I had issues with.
@@PetrolMediaInc just heard that on RUclips. First thing I will check. Any aftermarket solutions?
sadly no. You could build your own power supply which I’m considering but the best thing I’ve found is to buy one that’s having issues for spare parts. They just didn’t sell enough of these. Or find an old alesis fusion keyboard. It uses the same power supply.
