Funny how the Akai workflow is so great and yet there seems to be a lot of room for improvement.
Exactly this.
Force Tip #5 - or use shift + button under 2 track (length)
Oh my God thanks for the Metronome disable. I looked everywhere and couldnt find it.
Easier tip for the tempo window:
Hold shift and hit tempo. This allows you to no longer hold the tempo button in order to see the tempo window.
I live by this method in live gigs when manually switching tempos.
Hi! You didn't promise too much: Definitely Must Knows! 💯 Even two years later. 😀 Thank you! 🙏🏼
Yeah, it's hard the entrance to the metro dome indeed.
Nice tips. Love my Force. My biggest ask is for a flip screen lol
Wow, just zero messin around, great tips. Now *that’s* refreshing.
Defo subscribing. Thanks
You know that question was coming up about recording the effects.
Hey man , your channel is brilliant, but thats just not a content type to subscribe. I check your vids when I want to solve something or just binge watched right at the beginning of my "force adventure" - but in general I dont need regular updates - when I need them I just type a problem, and if there is solution on your channel - then it will pop up and I'll watch it :)
Keep up good work - you are best force channel on YT !
Hey man, I've been subscribed. Your content is dope! The reason I subscribed is because your Akai Force videos are really helpful. I want to see more Force content! The Force community needs good creators like you to help learn the machine and keep it alive. Appreciate you bro! Keep up the good work!
Man, these tips were dope AF, I subscribed after the “Knobs” tip lol. Great video, can’t wait to watch them all. Who needs a guide or manual when we got you. Thank you !!
Ableton standalone feeling.
I know one thing about Force, everything was very challenging in the beginning and so much to learn until first hand it becomes a peace of cake. This may now be my primary study right besides Cubase and I certainly thank you so much of what you've have taught.
You make dope videos man.
Shortcut for recording to arrangement:
Shift + Rec
You also can assign A and B for the fader via the Assign knobs above the fader
It's two am here. Ireland 🇮🇪🇺🇸💜
Dude thank you so much.
Straight lace No Chase! Thx 4 tha game BroBro
really cool i love your tips!!
👍👍👍 killing it again!
Dope
Great tips !
Thank you for all your classes
Man, this was my first times seeing one of your videos and I subscribed immediately. I’m pretty proficient on the MPC workflow cause I’ve had a Live since day one. Now I’m graduated up to the Live 2 and Keys. I’ve bought and sold a Force twice because little basic things seem buried. I just got one again and these tips are amazing. A lot of silly things I was having trouble finding are right out in the open. I love your simplistic breakdowns and positive attitude. Thanks sir! Can’t wait to dig into more of your stuff. Keep it up!
thanks for the post
That was really helpful. Subbed. Cheers!
well done!!!!!
Thanks for your so interesting content !
Great video, thank you!
Dope video, quick detailed and right to the point!

This is fantastic and soooo useful!!! Thank you for first class content ........
I’ve recently gone from the MPC One to the Force and I’ve found all 10 of these tips very useful.
You’ve earned and like and subscribe from me!
Now I’m going to go make some music!
This is the most useful Akai Force video I ever saw. Thanks! I wouldn't mind a sequel to this video.✌️
Peace King.
Once again great video!!!
As New MPC user I am learning so much about the force I will have one of these in my arsonal in the future.
hey dude.. love the channel!
would you have any idea how to record crossfader changes to arrangement?
havn't figured it out yet!
Subbed man! Like your style and video's! I am planning to buy one! Its dope! I have heard that after the latest update it is way cooler! Its feels like I realy need this device in my life! :D
Your heavy murrican gangsta accent makes the understanding for non-native speaker really hard.
✊🏾👊🏾
Excellent quickfire tips. Been using the Force for about a month and picked up some good workflow in this tutorial. Surprised to learn at the end that it's challenging to record the Master perform FX, but not such a biggie if your using a mixing desk and can record from there I guess.
And I now subscribe!
i subribed a couple of weeks ago because i decided that im gonna get the force and i want to keep up with yall tips and i can easily find ya vids when i look for them later.
Thanks Adam!! Much appreciated! 🙏🏾👊🏾
This video is gold man! Thank you for sharing.
I appreciate that Hector! Anytime bro! 🙏🏾👊🏾
Keep it up Man. Yo I be stoked on some more MPC ONE videos. Maybe a whole project video or series for a real elaborate one showing sampling for drums and hooks, external gear and so on. Be cool to get a like a three four hour video or bunch in a playlist. I know that was a bit much. haha been smokin...
Marcus, i love your videos!, you are so amazing!👍🏼👌🏼
Thank you sir!
you are just mega.....so well explained.....please keep it up....a subscription from me of course..!!!
Thank you.
Liked, subbed, commented. Your delivery style is on point.
This is making me want an Akai Force.
Thanks B JH! 🙏🏾👊🏾🙏🏾👊🏾
You have a great talent. You make complicated stuff simple . Keep it up. Many thanks.
Thank you Colin! I appreciate that bro bro! 🙏🏾👊🏾
Doopppeeeeee video 💥 Dang near got me wanting to buy the Force🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Get it
For live performance push 2 set lists are such that songs are positioned diagonally between each song so lots of cursor navigation movement between songs. But I quite like the workflow of the akai trying to fit the song or set into 8x8 grid, but I suspect for live gigs it probably a good idea to have two akai forces in sync so you can queue up the next song in the set on the 2nd force. Akai has limited memory where as push2 and computer can load up the entire set and all vsts for all songs on one massive grid.
I’m new to your channel and you asked why people are not subscribing - honestly - I have no idea - but you’ve just got a new subscriber. Videos are concise, relaxed yet well paced, informative and well presented. Looking forward to all the other force content
What’s good Solo?! Thank you for the subscription and kind words bro bro! Much appreciated! 🙏🏾👊🏾
Just subscribed as I have the MPC X and have thinking about the Akai force as another solid piece of gear for the studio. Options seem like they would be great in combination for certain project ideas.
Thanks for the Sub InDy! 🙏🏾👊🏾
Akai force user / new to beat making . I'm just trying to soak up as much info as possible . I appreciate you taking the time to explain things in a detailed but basic way . So anyways I subscribed as u requested. Thanks for the schooling .
Thanks for the sub bro bro! May the Force be with you! 🙏🏾👊🏾
Elbow, you are the man. Super helpful and well articulated tutorials. Thank you for the knowledge snacks. I'm gonna go hit that "lunch button" right now!
Meant to ask, is there a way to record the crossfader sweeps into the arrangement? I tried enabling automation recording but it doesn't seem to record the x-fader. Any guidance is greatly appreciated.
I haven’t been able to do this but Someone just not to long ago told me that this feature was doable with one of the latest update 🤔 I will test this out and put something together soon. 🙏🏾👊🏾🙏🏾👊🏾
This basically how you use Ableton
Thanks for vids. Just bought one. Do you have tutorials on managing importing and managing ssd disk contents. Like importing your splice library. Ableton doesn’t have fixed length unless you buy a push2 and ableton max for live. So why wouldn’t u untick fixed length entirely and just press stop based on accurate musician timing?
Great Videos ‼️
Quick Questions,
🔴1. can the Force receive Program Changes that would change the session or song project ❓
🔴2. Can most controls and on board push buttons on screen and physical buttons be controlled from outside controllers via CCs, SYSEX....ect❓
Really helpful content, thank you so much. Just learning the Force after 5 years MPC, lovin' it! From now on I'm pronouncing it "MetroDome!" Seriously, keeps these tips coming. I'm looking for a way to "bounce to sample" from a clip the way MPC lets you bounce a track to a sample. ???
I was looking for a comment with someone mentioning the metrodome lol.... Its one of those things that just kept grabbing my ear lol..
I didn't want to be the one and seem petty..... Fact of the matter is your videos and explanations are top notch. I never even had my hands on one ..
Keep up the good work.
Hi there love your details...one thing I cannot find, it is an easy way to acces cutoff I can only get in Marco but then I can not go back as fast as I want. Is there any shortcut for it?
Great video Thanks Akai force is good for pop/rock production?
Yes Yes Yes!! 😄 thanks for watching!
After months of research on the Force vs quite a few others products I just pulled the trigger and I am super siked because I really know this is going to take my set up to the next level. Many thanks for your tutorials/videos they certainly help my decision.
Your welcome Darryl! Glad I could help! 🙏🏾👊🏾
@@marcuselbow Respect!!
I thought they already fixed recording automation on the master and subgroups in a past fw update
Great video! It is possible to record the master automation using the arranger isn't it? I mean, switching to the master tracks in arranger allows you to see the automation there
Thanks! Check out this video here: ruclips.net/video/n-KnfniZNoQ/видео.html
Thanks so much for this. The Akai world is completely new to me and your vids are helping me in my decision to either invest in one of these Akai machines. I was wondering if you're able to apply those glitch effects @ 12:35 to your track or record this onto a new track or if these are solely live effects?
Yes they can be recorded bro. Thanks for watching! 🙏🏾👊🏾
i wonder if you can change the time signature now? What about 3/4, 6/4 or 7/4. beats?
Great content. You do have the ability to record automation on submixes, returns, and master outputs since 3.1 last year. You can do so just like you would with any other normal tracks.
Thanks bro! You can do this inside of the arranger? 🤔
@@marcuselbow yes, I think you can only record automation of master tracks in the arranger mode. Hit the Master in Matrix mode and arm the Outputs 1/2 track. When the automation is enabled (you can do so by tapping the automation icon in arranger or use the pull down menu), you can twist the macro knobs that have parameter assignment of the output 1/2) to record the movement. you can view and edit the automation by bringing up the edit window in the arranger mode.
can you use the Akai Force to mangle samples like you can do with the Octatrack?
I usually shift + clip to get to paramaters, but I like that edit + track. Ima use that. Also, shift + record goes straight to record-to-arrange, for those that don't know. Big ups for this one, I know a lot of folks will benefit from this.
can you access the parameters via an external midi controller, setting up with midi cc?
Also, @tip#7, hold shift+edit and then pressing the next Launch button that's blank, will insert a Scene of just the playing Clips. Another way to get song structure ideas. The best thing about this machine is the ability to have an Ableton workflow without a computer.
Thanks for the info. 👊🏾
Great feature. It doesn’t even have to be blank, it will shift subsequent rows so even more flexible.
Can you make a video using backing tracks from SD card then add melody using force?

I don’t subscribe because I read the manual and have been using daws and mpc since 98 … I’m just here for passtime which is like 30 mins a day
Thanks for your honesty bro bro! We appreciate you for stopping by. Salute! 👊🏾
Brother Elbow what headset/mic are you using. I need to get that bro
Here you go bro bro: amzn.to/3uyLkOe
Hey can you do a show on the midi learn section like in the arranger up in the top you have the green read and the red write and the white off I can't get mine to stay in the off it's always coming on and throwing my volume knobs way up and back down. I don't know how to get it to not come on every time you hit record and start my volume levels shooting to max. It's supposed to be recording what I do when I'm recording. But it's just a nuisance. Why would I want the computer to take my volumes to the maximum level and then back down to zero and then back up to the maximum all the time back and forth it's insane I don't know why a Akia doesn't correct this if it's a glitch. Don't have it come on auto ever when you put it on white it stays on white it doesn't come off and start controlling stuff on its own. But I realized I could not be using it right or have a setting wrong somewhere in this beast of a machine.
