This is the best Akai Force Tutorial I have seen. A great thank you for that. Now i can start with this beast. 😀🤘
Glad you enjoyed it Daniel!! We have more on the way!! Thanks for watching fam!! 🙏🏾👊🏾
I’ve been avoiding watching any Akai Force videos for 6 months, but I honestly think this machine suits my workflow more than the MPC One. 👍🏽✊🏽🇬🇧
Man I’ll be watching these too. I got my baby this week. Sad thing I just took it out box 📦 today. The update made me get it. I already work in Ableton with a Push2. This thing is a beast.
Your tutorial made me unpack my Akai force and set it up again. At first it seemed like this was a unnecessary luxury when my workflow through Fl studios in conjunction with my Akai advance49 keyboard was all I knew. The Force had me feeling like a dumb ass so I packed it in my safe for about 7 months. I hate that clicking noise all through rec session.
I couldn't figure out how to get out of note mode until I saw your video. A lot of your force videos are extremely helpful and I sure thank you so much for the helpful tutorials.
Every time I go back to see this tut Mr. Elbow I’m just joyed at all you have taught me and still teach me!!! You’re a Blessing my friend truly you are.!! Thank you for the clean and clear tut brother.
Your welcome UT!! Thanks for watching bro bro!! 🙏🏾👊🏾
fantastic tutorials...brother
i have just bought my akai force...its fantastic!!!!
thanks to your tutorials...i hope I can learn to play it as well as you do....
I will be following all your tutorials religiously...
take care brother....
one love one mother earth....blessings and peace to you and all in your family....
and the family of akai force users!!!!
At 13:50, you should mention if your stuff isn’t recording like you put it down then your Timing Correct is probably messing with you, snapping the input to the grid. If this is happening hold down shift, hit TC on the bottom (like Marcus mentioned in the first part of the video) and select 1/64. That’ll ensure you can “humanize” the input. My force was autocorrecting to the 1/4 note at first, couldn’t figure out why.
Just got my Akai Force and I am hooked on your tutorial s. Keep it coming this is great.
Thank you for re inspiring me , I had given up , now Im thinking I should try again .
You should have been a schoolteacher. Thanks and I hope this helps the algorithm.
I was today years old when I learned about the quick search tip. Thanks man!!
Thanks brother! If you need more precise training try my Akai Force course here: elbowmediastudios.com/products/akai-force-beginners-course
Thanks a lot man! Super easy to understand and I have a few cool beats down already since last night….thanks to you!
Great intro to get started on the Force, thanks for making this!
Awesome info thank you for your patience and informed videos. Great stuff. Godspeed
Fantastic tutorial, about time someone showed us how to get started with this great machine,well done keep up the good work you are doing.
Best Force tutorial ever! Thanks man!! 😀
This was a very clear tutorial straight to the point and I can't wait for the next one. Thank you Mark
I can't thank you enough for this video. I just purchased the Force and have been searching everywhere on youtube for a good tutorial for a complete beginner like myself. You're an amazing teacher and I look forward to more classes!
That’s what’s up Enzo! I’m glad you found this video helpful bro bro!! Thanks for watching!🙏🏾👊🏾
I got myself an Akai live, and I haven’t used it much at all. I like your review on the Force and it’s work flow.. Much more understandable. I believe I’ll this and switch- I’m now fallowing you.👍🏾👍🏾 really great job..
That’s what’s up Cliff! Thanks for the sub bruh! Yeah the force is a next piece of gear bro! The work flow is great! 👊🏾🙏🏾
This was great, first vid ive seen and just bought the force. I can't stand the majority of youtube and how pretencious and self absorbed they are. Being humble is one of the most under valued qualities in our modern society, under valued by the majority but highly valued by those who create at the highest levels, keep on keeping on brother.
Thank you for the tutorials you're done on the force!
I’ve watched loads of tuts for this beast n this is the one of the best one I’ve seen. This guy is clear, charismatic and straight to the point 😎. Just got mine today and this is EXACTLY what I wanted just to get started thankyou so much dude 😍

I'm buying mines today because of you! I seen it at guitar Center and I was intimated because I have never seen that many knobs on a device, but now it is clear!
That’s what’s up Boltonsoft! Glad I could help! 👊🏾
@@marcuselbow I bought it from guitar center. They did not know how to make a beat on it..I did because of you!
Love this. Coming from the Live so this helps me understand some of the differences. Clear and easy to listen to. Thank you so much. Subscribed!
Thanks for sharing your precious time!
No problem! Thanks for watching Matt! I appreciate that! 👊🏾🙏🏾
Ow noooo I bought your course online but could have watched this🙈🙈🙈
you inspired me to update my force after nearly 2years of sitting in its box.i ignored the blue cable and stuck an old usb stick in my xbox and yes I took it out and put it in the force and straight from factory state to 3.06.cheers from uk Manchester
I’m glad your back in the game Moore! Thanks for watching bro bro!!🙏🏾👊🏾
Thanks cuz, helped me big time

Great tutorial and particularly well paced. A lot of tutorials speed through the content too quickly, but your delivery style is perfect.
Thank You
Great Stuff! Thank You!

Fabulous tutorial. Thank you!

@@marcuselbow thanks. I’m still having a think between keeping the force or swapping for an MPCx Special Edition/ Live 2 . I already have the MPC Key 61 so perhaps it’s better to keep the Force, but it looks tricky to find a portable battery solution for it.
Got mine! It's cool! Wish it could sing for me.
great tutorial bro!
Just when I was about to return my force, I came across your tutorial......THANK YOU!
🙏🏾👊🏾
The best , better than any other Thanks so much !
Your welcome John!! Thanks for watching bro bro!! 🙏🏾👊🏾
Great walk through. Sub'd and hoping for more force videos
Thanks for the subs Matt! I appreciate that! 🙏🏾👊🏾🙏🏾👊🏾
thats pretty amazing ... thank you for share with us this amazing video !!
just bought mine yesterday and im still learning hahaha ... its amazing
i produce house music and melodic house
cheers !!!
Thank you GUZZK! Mad respect bro! 🙏🏾👊🏾
the great thing about the MPC one over this was the full song playlist feature...so the addition of the arrager fixes this problem?
the arranger is similar to the mpc playlist? and you can do a whole production without ever having to touch a laptop??
I'm watching this and ain't even got one ...I will now ;D
Clean tutorial ty! Mine should be delivered wednesday btw!
Thanks Damian! 🙏🏾👊🏾
Thanks! How to make the pads play in a certain key?
Nice one. I really want a Force but I already have the MPC LIVE. I’m trying to think of a reason why I need both. lol
I'm God. GET THE FORCE. Ok, there's your good reason. :-)
Enjoying the video's ! @ 15:05 , sounded out of key , do you have tell it what key u want it in ? Thanks , this Force is deep ! I hope you make more video's for newbie dummies like me :)
You're a great teacher! PLEASE do more Akai Force Tutorials????
Thank you Adam! I appreciate that my brother! More force vids are definitely on the way! 🙏🏾👊🏾🙏🏾👊🏾
thank you so much you are the best do have online class i love to be your student
It’s coming bro bro! Thanks for the support! 🙏🏾👊🏾
I know you love the Force, but what’s your take on the Roland 707? - a very interesting unit in itself. Can you do a comparisons video? I’d really like your opinion.
Yes do an update video. I just got one.
Done Jamaal!! 🙏🏾👊🏾
How to loop a pad within a drum track/note mode/pads/sample edit> shift>loop
For live jam session. Only worked once. I created mute groups for the pick up, but it has only worked once.
I have firmware 3.0.5
Hi, Can someone please assist me. I followed the tutorial up until the record. Drums arent reording onto my clips. no sound and nothing records into clip section. any advise . Thanks. I even reset the entire machine. still have the same issue.
Peut on faire automation de tempo ???

REQUIRED READING: A very important “RULE” that should be kinda pinned to any Force tutorial is that you should NEVER save projects to the internal 16GB storage. It’s fine to save to a USB Flash, an SD card or even an internal SSD if you installed one. But NEVER save to the standard 16GB internal storage as you could accidentally mess up the internal demo projects, included loops, basic instrument settings, etc.
Sure, you could (probably) recover from messing them up by connecting your device to the internet and then connecting to AKAI to get all that default data back, but you will probably not know right away that you messed the internal storage up and it will drive you crazy trying to figure out why certain things no longer sound right. So just best not to save or muck with the internal storage. If you want to mess with a demo project, then copy it to one of the above locations first, then have at it!
Hey Elbow: Nice video! (Keep up the good work!)
Great info Eric! Thanks bro bro! 🙏🏾👊🏾
Nice tutorial; but you may want to show how to set up a scale setting for notes; because when you load a plugin you load the default setting which is chromatic (so the notes play wrong unless you know which note to play). While you video you went from chromatic, which is the mode that let you play all the pads in a key, so there won't be "wrong notes", to scale mode without showing it.
For many people that have no clue about music theory or how to play an instrument, knowing how to set up the note mode in scale setup is essential; so maybe you want to point that out in the video
Mr. M.E.MEDIA AKA-TEACHER!
I was looking for a tut of yours on Time-Stretching - The Warp and using ALL The Buttons that Relate to Time stretching Samples and timing Samples to beats in AKAI-FORCE 2022 3.0.6 and Teacher... I couldn't find your tut Sir.? ? ? Plz send me a link if you have this tut that I may have over looked Sir.
Note: I thank you for the way you teach/Instruct your viewers Mr. Teacher! I have looked at other tuts and your set up with your cameras - lighting - and just the way you talk and teach is like no other on the web Sir. Thank you Mr. Elbow for all you do for us AKAI-FORCE students! Great Job Sir! #teacher #Instructor #Educated # 100 ! ! !
Can I change time signature on Akai Force to 7/8, 6/8 etc...?
I missing something, when I clicked Record nothing recorded, even thought the rec button was flashing?
So want to buy one of these , but already got a push 2 ... 🤔
Hello. A couple of questions
Can I delete a track? Say I select audio track, but I wanted to change it to a dry, track - how can I do this?
Second part to this question - can I change a track when loaded, to something else? Say I choose a plug-in but I want to change it to a drum track?
Can I change the tracks that are in the start up template? So instead of plugin and audio could I set it to have drums and plugin or two audio tracks etc?
Can I explode drums, like on the mpc one?
Can I change the plugin to a different sound, whilst in the same project, but on a later scene? For instance say I, using BassLine and I have a sub sound on the first row, on the next row could I change that to a different one , say thump for instance, and it not change the instance in the row above? If this isn’t possible can you tell me how to make a set with lots of different tracks, or point to a tutorial that shows how to do this? Currently it seems that it has the potential to be the most amazing live device but if you can’t have different instance s of plugins on the same track, I’m confused as to how I would perform, a full live set.
Thanks in advance 😀
I have the mpc x do you think if I buy the force it will be overkill? Good info thx
No sir! The force is its own thing bro bro! 🙏🏾👊🏾
Question for you: I followed your directions exactly, but when I get to10:20 on your video and I hit the record button the metronome doesn't sound off and the clip doesn't start recording. The REC, Stop, Play and Undo buttons all start blinking. What am I doing wrong?
Make sure you arm the track. Hit the record button on the left and then arm the track at the bottom. 13:28. 🙏🏾👊🏾
Question for anyone. If I’m in a project or a demo, how do I get back to the startup menu like when I turn on my Force where it list the demos and new project?
Here is the answer and it is not the easiest to figure out for sure:
NOTE: This first part really only needs to be done once, unless you change it for some reason. (Read on, you’ll understand)
1) Press Menu (from any screen except the screen that we are going to, LOL!)
2) In the main menu screen go into Settings (at the top of the screen, it looks like a gear).
3) When in Settings tap on Project Defaults on the left column
4) At the top of Project Default page, make sure New Project is set to Demo/Template/Recent
THEN ONCE THAT SETTING IS SET, JUST DO THE FOLLOWING:
1) Press the Save Button (it’s a real button, not anything on the screen)
2) Select New Project (you may be prompted to save your old project).
… and that’s it, the New Project selection will now always bring up the Demo/Template/Recent screen.
Can you use this with other daws and does it come with software like the MPC?????
No software needed. Projects from the Force can be exported directly into Ableton Live.
Got my mpc one worked out to work my way , tell me why should I buy this , it is awesome but what is better for an average guy like me , what can it do that my mpc one can not do , just asking , I’m ready to buy this machine ,just need a push
Watch me vids on this machine and see if you like the work flow. My review is coming real soon! 🙏🏾👊🏾
Hi Elbow 💪🏾 @10:22 I press record no metronome or anything. Only recording to clip shows on the screen. No movement. Please help brother
What’s good Cortney?! Make sure to arm the track bro bro.
@@marcuselbow Alright I sure will. I'm definitely supporting your channel. Feels like HIP HOP over here 🏆
jejeje :D
and the man behind is so cool and funny :D
thanx to him
Thanks watching Roman!! Mad respect bruh!🙏🏾👊🏾
@@marcuselbow wellcome bro:D
love kiss peace
Bro im in-between the mpc live,the one,and the force i would like to get the force but don't know really what would you suggest
What’s good Underdawg?! It really comes down to what your needs are 🤔 The MPC live is great for producers on the go! The Force is great for producers who wants a MPC workflow but with enhance capabilities like a better onboard mixer and arranger. The One is for producers new to the MPC workflow or who likes the one button layout or who likes the smaller unit and the cheaper price. Hope this helped bro bro! 🙏🏾👊🏾🤯
@@marcuselbow i gotcha had the mpc live for like 4mon but had to sell it but really looking at the force I wish they would've put a internal battery on but oh well I guess we can't have everything in one huh...yeah man so much for the reply really appreciate it look like I might be getting the force 💪🏽🙏
Anytime bro bro!! The force is a beast! 🙏🏾👊🏾
Bonjour peut on changer le bpm sur un launch précis/merci🇨🇵
/Je n arrive pas à trouvé ma reponse
1er launch 120 bpm /2em launch 80bpm ?
Have you done or can you do a video on the process of downloading and installing mpc expansions?
What’s good Jamaal?! I will put this on my schedule bro bro!!🙏🏾👊🏾
@@marcuselbow Thanks!
What’s good Jamaal?! Ask and you shall receive my brother! ruclips.net/video/g2PnUW2qCcg/видео.html
@@marcuselbow What’s up man, when i click on the link, it’s saying “the video is private”
@@marcuselbow I’m still having issues. Is the MPC software required? Is that the only way to get MPC expansions onto the Force?
Is it possible to load in 3rd party synths and vst's?
No. But you can export ur project as a Ableton Live Set and continue working on ur track in AL or AL lite where you can use plugins. 🙏🏾👊🏾
@@marcuselbow That's my only concern left actually. I primarily use FL studio for my recording and production, is it difficult to transfer to FL? I know that they have it set up with abelton but I'd have to assume there is multiple ways to export to any DAW?
@@biggpapaclay yeah, you can export the clips as stems and bring them into fl. It’s mad easy. 🙏🏾👊🏾
I'm thinking if I can get a good sample library going I can get a nice workflow going . Would you say adding and digging through sounds is relatively easy?
Is it possible to record incoming audio directly into the arranger rather than to a clip?
What’s good Karen?! I don’t think so. I always take my projects into Ableton and do the vocals. 🙏🏾✌🏾
@@marcuselbow That's a shame.😔 It would be nice to have the option like Ableton
I agree %100 with you! That would make it truly standalone 😃 You still can record vocals in clips tho...better than nothing 😔
What’s good Karen?! After the last update 3.06 it is now possible to record audio (vocals) directly into the arranger! 😃👏🏾👊🏾
Yes!!!! Shift+REC
Buttons in a nutshell.
I JUST COP ME ONE I CANT WAIT TO GET STARED AND GET GOING..
Nice things is his name lol
". . . time correct, 1/16, 1/13, whatever . . ." PLEASE go over this. It implies the ability to do odd time signatures and that is the main thing that has kept me from buying one of these.
Is there anything mike Tyson cannot do?
