    I think this line of MPC’s will be viewed as legendary 10 or 20 years from now. The comeback of AKAI vs Maschine. The return to standalone with built in daws and effects. The price to power ratio of the mpc one. The built in speakers and battery powered portability of the live 2. Responsible for pulling alot of producers and casual users away from point and click production. It really is legendary already.

  • @ceddmack2816
    @ceddmack2816 Год назад +9

    All of them for me but the Live II gets the most work. I carry it everywhere. Being that I play keys, the Key 61 is a deal maker. Plus, it reminds me of the ASR-10. I remember asking Akai about an Mpc with a keyboard. The rep told me in 2008 they couldn’t discuss it. I think they did well for the first version. Next, I would imagine an 88 Key with a flip screen and more knobs and buttons. I absolutely love the Mpc X. It’s like working on a space age Mpc 3000/4000 mixed. Mostly because of the form factor. With each unit, I get a different feel. I feel R&B with the Keys, hip hop with the X and a little of both with the Live II. But I can do everything with either machine. Hard to say, but I would probably choose the Live 2 if I could only have one, but the X looks so I’ll sitting there like the boss…Great video @bolodaproducer

  • @Audioanalisys

    I loved the 2500, I really liked the thickness of the sampling of the 4000. I tried the the key61 and liked it but brought it back because it was buggy. I see they improved . (Sometimes I regret bringing it back..no cap) maybe I’ll get it again in the future. But I’m thinking of getting the live II first.. we’ll see

    Hi Bolo and grazie very much for your nice and useful videos. I have a question about Mpc products by Akai. Which of these machines can be used with interna sounds while using a midi file internally. I am using roland fa 07 but just as sequencer and not as keyboard and i would like to use mpc but with own sounds. And di you know if the quality of these sounds is as high as that of roland fa? Is it possible to load new patches that can be used by internal sequencer in a midi file play? Thanks a lot ciao

  • @badboy69cancer

    I wouldn't trade an MPC for a Maschine standalone scenario to save my life, but I also wouldn't trade a Maschine for an MPC when it comes to DAW integration either. I'm blessed to own both though, so no complaints. 😁

    • @DJWOLFLIVE
      @DJWOLFLIVE 11 месяцев назад

      I also have both and they are both amazing but for me the Maschine + has less of a learning curve than the MPC Live2. I have picked up on making sequences with the MPC Live 2 much quicker than I did with other MPC controllers. The MPC X was also a phenomenal controller that I wish I had not sold but due to loosing my job at the time I had no choice. But I use both MPC Live 2 and Maschine + and love them for different purposes!

  • @THA-REAPER

    Nobody said Key61 😂. I can't choose between my X and live II. Live II does get more use...but I get busy busy on the X cuz all the dedicated buttons and knobs. My one, I don't really touch it...but it's there to be used in another space...I could still use it in a portable setup the live II is kind of big still. The Key61 idk I mean I already have a workstation keyboard and I'm not losing or missing out on anything just having the keyboard plugging into the MPC directly. Also I hate reaching over the key bed to hit the pads and I prefer a tilt screen or else I feel like I must stand up. I don't really like the ergonomics.

    I’ll say the X.. 8 outs for tracking, easy q links, and I’m not killing my eyes with the smaller screens.. Traveling making beats is a novelty in the internet age.. All those extra screens to find stuff in the 61 and live kills the production vibe. To many steps

    Great video mate, I have the MPC X, and I just can't use the workflow, it is just too difficult compared to Roland MPC's that I have. Additionally there's no Kensington lock to keep it in place, and you can only record a max 3 minutes of Vocals lyrics which is just insane!!! unless an update has changed that, so I dumped this back in the box after a month, ready for the tip..

As the owner of all 3 I won’t even sit here and make you guys feel better about your selves . The X is the best on every level , the user experience alone makes it superior to any mpc on any level, yes the 16 q links and no menu diving make it that great.

  • @youtubenatan
    @youtubenatan Год назад +2

    Man, I got the Fantom 06 a couple of weeks ago, and I just don't know. The sounds are quality, but the workflow is lacking. I wanted to use it with the MPC One, which I can do, but I wanted it to be like the MPC One as a standalone workstation, but it is nothing like the MPC One, and the drum kits are just not up to par, so I'm twisted on what to do?
    Hey Bolo, I don't know if you will answer, but when you are on the Roland Fantom 06, and you know how you go to save the tones/sounds, because you want to save the sound effects of the tone, you have to put it in a user slot. Why in the hell would Roland do such a thing? Why not just have a write button, or when you press write and save a scene, it saves the whole pattern and sounds? But if you go to another pattern, and you want to use the same sound where you saved sound effects to it, and you overwrite it in a new pattern, it will not be saved the same way for the last pattern? It will overwrite the sound on all patterns. I just don't understand what they we're thinking with this at all.
    Ya know, what happens when the user slots are filled, and you go to save that patch? Then, it is going to overwrite the effects that you've applied on that sound patch. It makes no sense at all. Do you know if any updates have fixed this, or what they give you in the newer updates, because I haven't updated it yet, but I'm sure it won't fix this issue. I was just wondering what your feedback would be on this?...SBN RESONATE

    • @BoloDaProducer

    If Akai would just make a version that is a blend of the MPC one and MPC live2 (with more ram and a faster processor) that would be a winner. I like the form of the MPC one (size, buttons, and layout). It is just missing the ability to add SSD internal memory. More menu diving and clicking just sucks.I love the MPC X, I just see no real down side to it. The layout of the MPC X is awesome. No SD card no deal for me, so i don't even care about an MPC with keys!

      ​@@DETERMINOLOGY I owe them. Advantages are in workflow. I prefer mpc one than a live because of button shortcuts. However, there's better performance and other extras the others come with. But the best of all worlds for me in compact for is the ONe

    The best MPC out of the current ones is the MPC One. It does every one of the basic functions that the X/Live/Live II do. But it currently costs less than $700 new. Plus its the best of both worlds. More portable than the Live/Live II will ever be and it has a lot of buttons like an MPC should.

    Hey bolo, maybe you can help me my BeatMaker 3 when I hook a USB mini controller when I start a track it works but when I add the next track, it always triggers other tracks and I can’t stop it from triggering the other tracks so if I want to be on track one and just trigger track one works but then when I go to track to track one and two is triggering, can you help me I changed all of the channels from 1 to 2 and still nothing is there a glitch in the program that I don’t know about but if I unhook the mini controller and just use the iPad itself, I have no problems
