My bad guys! I had some technical issues with the other video... I'll have some more MPC software video this week too!!! Thanks again for the support!!
Hey Ave. Can you check out Cakewalk By Bandlab? It is also best free software available since it used to be a $500 DAW and the sick Pro-channel it has.
Thanks for doing a video for this. My boy just called me from NYC two days ago telling me about it. It looks like MPC Essentials rebooted, but the kicker is...it's free to EVERYONE now and not only Akai customers who have bought a piece of Akai hardware. (Essentials came free w/my Akai midi keyboard.) WINNING! Anyone who doesn't download this software package, is really trippin'. lol
I bought the software years ago when 2.0 was released, just because I'd always wanted an MPC and wanted to see what all the hype was about. Today, I rarely use the MPC software. I don't really regret buying it, but I wouldn't have if I could have gotten this for free. 😆🤷🏻♂️
*It's a VST plugin too! That blew me away. You could not spend money for a better drum VSTI.* We're in an area of free apps with DAW's where the ones charging us really have to work for our money. I've been doing this for over 20 years and had MPCB previously, but only just on the same workstation at once and saw the innovation. *Unbelievable!*
Ajkai really wants people to try their stuff out. Great selling aspect as well as far as promotion.And the fact that people can use any controller and still be able to make music off of this and not spend a dime on a DAW for the time being.And then pull up your vets, samples, and expansions...1UP.
Its main purpose is to provide a DAW for anyone buying there midi Hardware keyboards and potentially be a gateway to buying there more expensive devices such as MPC X because the work flow is the same.
I just bought my akai 2 weeks ago, been watching every tutorial on Earf and havent learned shit...I just learned so much more from this video. Thank you man!
I've been obsessively sampling things and passing them through MPC beats and throwing them in Kontakt. And also making impulse responses of the reverbs. Shits fun.
Super duper dope explanation and review.. I downloaded it yesterday and have loved it so far. For any Novation users out there, my MPK Mini mk3 works great right out of the box. I highly suggest it because of the ribbon and pitch slides are stupid fun to assign modulation to. Thank you Akai again.
Ave, for some reason I can't, preview my samples despite turning on the speaker icon....great video. Now, the old heads can get back into the beats in our retirement. Yes, technology has come a long way since making beats in the classroom with the butt of the hand and tip of the finger on a wooden desk with a portable reel-to-reel. Man, did we drive our English teacher crazy with the Afro Beat ha ha.
You took me back when you mentioned Acid lol. Acid was like one of the industry standard DAW along with Protools back in the late 90’s, early 2000’s...Gotta appreciate the creators that’s been making music softwares, VSTs, and plug-ins lately cause things have got’n way better ever since.
I learned more from this video than I did the MPC Academy videos! You Rock! Get the Akai MPK Mini and you’ll see how the pads are mapped in MPC beats. Great video!
The only guy who made a video for the people who know absolutely nothing about beat making. Thank you🙏🏾!!! If you could make a video on step by step how to take a beat out of your head and make it a real beat, that would really be appreciated. That’s really my issue. I can make beats all day in my head buh when it comes to creating it frfr I’m stuck. So if you can please make a video on that, It would really help so much!!! If not does ANYONE in the comments know, if so lmk just @ me I’ll respond back. Give you my gram or sum so we can work it out.
I compared your videos compared to the ones that the developers came up with and I must say, you are much more refined with your explanations and demonstrations. You've earned a new subscriber cheers!
Bro!!!!! Thanks a 1000 for doing this video I have a akia mpk mini and the software that came with is so limited I only can use one track for my sequence. This is the best thing that mpc has done for my career.
I'm used to making a song a certain way but in different ways. But I have a certain structure. I like to see the entire song... like having all 80bars and then I have several different breakdowns within. So I got a lot to figure out lol. And me too. I've been doing music for years and this new wave is crazy
This was super helpful and I have to say I love this DAW. The MPC One was already an incredible addition to my process but with the combination of this DAW and my MPC my workflow has improved like night and day. Thanks so much subscribed!
This Give Away From Akai, will get those new beat makers hooked, then the trail will lead to buying the MPC One, Or the MPC Live II. A good Marketing Strategy.
that iaminsight had a tutorial last night on this and he didn't show how to do anything , but of course ave you came today and saved the day. good shit ole chap cheers
Yo man you’re super dope with the reviews hahha man we’re old school. Remember ejay? Mad years ago haha times have advanced. Thanks for getting me through this mpc beats stuff I’m loving it so far.
Like you said 20 years ago it wasn't available. So in that aspect it's amazing. I was using hardware gear back in the 80's like Ensoniq ASR 10, Roland Juno 106, Akai S1100 . The good old days
Good day sir. Thank you so much for such a well made and informative video. I have a newly purchased AKAI MPK mini play midi keyboard and I have never created in the MPC Beats program. Thanks to your video I believe I can do it. You are great, thanks again. And good luck stacking and helping us newbies. Thank you Regards Robi
Thanks for this. Been thinking about getting my first MPC One in the next few weeks. Use to own an 1100 and 3200XL back in the Atari days :-) Id love to see a vid on how to set the Beats up in Live 10 (Preferences - MIDI)
I'm use to it since I use the MPC in standalone all the time... I hooked it up to the software and it made sense... Now I'm pretty decent with it in other DAWs.
Thank you very much for this amazing Tutorial. I have the MPK mini new and its my first try to produce Music by my own. First I had no plan, but after looking your video I feel a bit better. Now I will try and learn :-) Good Luck and much success :-)
I foolishly installed it even though I have an MPC One which comes with MPC 2 software. Reason being I thought it might offer something new like more plugin synths etc. But seems like it is really no different?
THANKS you are the best your tutorials are ALWAYS solid and the way you breakdown the use of this plugin IS absolutely FIRE 10 STAR'S for you just subscribed to your channel keep up the good work bro I really appreciate it peace
LORDY YOUR PC DESKTOP IS A CLUSTERED MESS! Love the soundboard image though! I keep my desktop as clean as possible with on 3 icons: Recycle Bin, Windows GodMode, & Mouse Control Shortcut. May look into this, however, I'm starting to get into DAW overload with the ones I have now. But you SURE can't be FREE.99!
@@Benzo_-dp6bp yeah dawg, fuck any creativity.. gotta pay to express yo self I guess, MPC Beats is a cash grab for thier expansion packs to actually get drums and instruments, LMMS is pretty killer DAW for free, doesn’t limit you, just not as user friendly like mpc bests.
Yeah as far as the sliding 808, you can use a sliding bass in the plugins and your vst, but if you use a sample, I don't think there's a slide/portamento function in the program edit window...that would be nice
hi ave, thanks for this, can you also do a video on mpc beats as a sampler and its sampling capabilities, that would be helpful for me and may be others too, thank you.
it’s good cause they’re bringing a new market by having a daw , it’s free so people are more willing to invest into the company when they drop new things , they might fuck round & dropped an advanced paid version like the GB / Logic relationship , & this is extra useful to MPC users who might be on the go & need to drop something fast cause u can take ur MPC witchu but everyone is definitely gon have they computer with em...this is cold fr
The facts is this software is to make there Midi devices much more useful right out of the box. All you need is your laptop and to buy one of there devices like an MPK249 and you have everything you need to make music with no other need to spend any more money on any other manufacturers gear or software. This is also a way to directly compete with Aturia which comes with Abalten lite and Analog lab.
Gear vid and info bro! This will probably be my way of workflow since Native Instruments sequencer has its shortcomings! Damn and it’s free,. Ave have you heard anything about the Centercode alpha tests for N.I revised sequencer?
im def going to try this. right now im using cubase 9.5. mostly original metal (with a ton of plugins obviously), and i mess around with some lofi and funk stuff. it's free so why not
I always wanted 2 learn how 2 make beats,, but it looks so difficult, & also Idk anything about music notes. I was thinking about getting the akai mpk mini mk3
Mine won't open the templates and libraries - says they can't be verified and might be malicious. So I have the program installed, but I can't access any sounds like you are doing, so it looks like I maybe cannot use it - there doesn't seem to be any recourse if your computer doesn't like / can't verify the source isn't malicious.

how do i import a sample and spread it across the notes?
I was wondering also how you stop the sounds for the modes you was saying
Can you use mpc beats offline?
*"If I could have had this, probably when I was like 20, I would have been a billionaire"*
I read this as I watched it
Good old Hit Boy 😂😂😂
rofl
I'm 48 and a hardware head I saw this and fuk tht mpc one return
keep dreaming lil man
Never was interested in MPC workflow....up until they said free.
lol welp time to dive in
Ave Mcree big facts!

I watches few video's how to use mpc beats. Im super beginner and only You explained it really well. I like to say thanks You.
So us old heads about to have a army youngsters!
and that's how I want it to be so we can educate them on hip hop history.

At first I was paying MPC software no mind. This vid got me!
I only just begun using this software. I truly appreciate this guide.
Got it installed. I've been seeing the smaller controller on FB marketplace for pretty cheap.
I"m in, dude. I can't wait!
I have the MPK mini and it works just fine, with pads and all - thanks a lot for the vid my man.
Bro!!!!! Thanks a 1000 for doing this video I have a akia mpk mini and the software that came with is so limited I only can use one track for my sequence. This is the best thing that mpc has done for my career.
Jah know Star, you explained it well. Just bought the MPC STUDIO yesterday. I use Logic so I thought I knew enough. But… Thank you. Guidance.
I'm used to making a song a certain way but in different ways. But I have a certain structure. I like to see the entire song... like having all 80bars and then I have several different breakdowns within. So I got a lot to figure out lol. And me too.

Looks like a mixture of FLStudio and Ableton, but more FLStudio.
Looks more like just straight up Studio One
Hello Ave Mcree, Sir!! I like your presentation style; you are very detailed, and your workflow is smooth. Thank you for sharing this! :-)
Thank you sooo much! I was so confused with this I just bought the akai mpk midi and didn’t know how to work the software, your the best man😃
Finally, a basic yet super helpful tutorial for a beginner... Appreciate it!!!
Very nice move for AKAI, thanks for sharing the news!
Thanks Musician Paradise... Looks like we can reach a bigger audience with this.
@@AveMcree exactly!
This Give Away From Akai, will get those new beat makers hooked, then the trail will lead to buying the MPC One, Or the MPC Live II. A good Marketing Strategy.
thank you DJ Ave!!! this was a classic video, i ended up upgrading
that iaminsight had a tutorial last night on this and he didn't show how to do anything , but of course ave you came today and saved the day. good shit ole chap cheers
I figure I'd do a video like this first before having fun with it. Give him a chance he's a new channel.

this is the best news of the year mate ! thx akai, thanks to you for sharing this video :)
I want more videos about mpc beats😍☺
McReeeeeee !!!!Respect and thank you got beat making in an hour!!!
This was awesome man..
Visual learner . I just saved all ya just did in my brain. Thank you man.. this helped alot .
just learning on the Akai MIDI and you're a huge help
Thanks for this. Been thinking about getting my first MPC One in the next few weeks. Use to own an 1100 and 3200XL back in the Atari days :-) Id love to see a vid on how to set the Beats up in Live 10 (Preferences - MIDI)
As always ..,well presented , useful, and entertaining. Was gonna dismiss this freebee, but I'm definitely gonna give it a try now. Thanks Ave!!!😎
I Started to work on FL Studio 16 years ago,. damn, how time flies
Dope video Ave! I’m not a fan of the MPC software at all. The layout and design just feels clunky to me, however I know a lot of people will love it.
I'm use to it since I use the MPC in standalone all the time... I hooked it up to the software and it made sense... Now I'm pretty decent with it in other DAWs.
Just what I was looking for good look bruh
Thank you very much for this amazing Tutorial. I have the MPK mini new and its my first try to produce Music by my own. First I had no plan, but after looking your video I feel a bit better. Now I will try and learn :-)
Good Luck and much success :-)
My MPC Live comes tomorrow. I can't wait to use it with the new DAW man
Great teaching sir! thanks.
Thank you, Bro. Helped me a lot.
beautifully explained for someone to get started, thanks bro
Great step by step tutorial 👏
So this is what we MPC owners already have, ok!
Yes, and now another generation of musicians can try their hands on this workflow.
RIGHT
@@AveMcree
Wish I had this option BEFORE I actually bought the software years ago. 😂
I foolishly installed it even though I have an MPC One which comes with MPC 2 software. Reason being I thought it might offer something new like more plugin synths etc. But seems like it is really no different?
@@digitalkmultimedia
It's just a limited version. Someone called it "MPC Lite", which is appropriate.
THANKS you are the best your tutorials are ALWAYS solid and the way you breakdown the use of this plugin IS absolutely FIRE 10 STAR'S for you just subscribed to your channel keep up the good work bro I really appreciate it peace
Yooo the beat at the beginning is high quality pain 🎥✊🏾 is there a longer version of the beat online ?
I’m learning as we speak.
LORDY YOUR PC DESKTOP IS A CLUSTERED MESS! Love the soundboard image though! I keep my desktop as clean as possible with on 3 icons: Recycle Bin, Windows GodMode, & Mouse Control Shortcut. May look into this, however, I'm starting to get into DAW overload with the ones I have now. But you SURE can't be FREE.99!
Thank you for the video I’m a beginner step-by-step easy does it I appreciate it
Insane tuturial
Question: Do you have a video of what are the basic controls to edit the piano rolls and arrangements (copy, paste, etc)? If not, can you make one?
Learning alot watching this thanks much appreciated 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
thank you
Didn't really get on with the DAW side of it, but it was worth getting just for the content.
That was a good Breakdown
👍🤙👌🖖💻🎹🎶🎵🎼🔈🔉🔊
Thank you for great video!!!
Thank you for this video
What do you do when no programs show up in the media browser, I can’t get drum kits lmao
same
@@Benzo_-dp6bp yeah dawg, fuck any creativity.. gotta pay to express yo self I guess, MPC Beats is a cash grab for thier expansion packs to actually get drums and instruments, LMMS is pretty killer DAW for free, doesn’t limit you, just not as user friendly like mpc bests.
Damn , that's actually looking alot more useful than reason .
can you record and track Mic audio and vocals in that also .
Dope video man maybe next video u can show how to save the beat or track it out but thanks you are very good at what you do .
or you can check out my playlist because I've answered those questions :)
U r the goat thanks I appreciate you bro!!
my pleasure
Thanks so much this video helped me make my first beat! Btw what is Swing?
Yeah as far as the sliding 808, you can use a sliding bass in the plugins and your vst, but if you use a sample, I don't think there's a slide/portamento function in the program edit window...that would be nice
already covered this topic ruclips.net/video/CsGk5vaF88I/видео.html
Thanks for this tutorial!
Thanks for this tutorial 💯
Great tutorial! Thank you.
Love your videos thanks God bless you my friend.
Awesome!
Why you can't download mpc beats?
hi ave, thanks for this, can you also do a video on mpc beats as a sampler and its sampling capabilities, that would be helpful for me and may be others too, thank you.
Yes I can
@@AveMcree of course you can haha, but plz make one. Ty.
Twenty years ago! remember Rebirth? thanks to Akai and other companies to make creativity available for anyone with a computer or a phone.
it’s good cause they’re bringing a new market by having a daw , it’s free so people are more willing to invest into the company when they drop new things , they might fuck round & dropped an advanced paid version like the GB / Logic relationship , & this is extra useful to MPC users who might be on the go & need to drop something fast cause u can take ur MPC witchu but everyone is definitely gon have they computer with em...this is cold fr
Tbh, I want them to F*** the market up with this! Especially for production
Ave Mcree nah frrr tho , they deserve it..this is a smart move for expanding
The facts is this software is to make there Midi devices much more useful right out of the box.

Mhm am i a robot? Philosophical questions ensue. Anyway i'll take this, thanks, seems way comfy.
Big Ups G!
Thank you for sharing!
Will the MPK mini work with this?Dope video bro thanks for the knowledge!!
Gear vid and info bro! This will probably be my way of workflow since Native Instruments sequencer has its shortcomings! Damn and it’s free,. Ave have you heard anything about the Centercode alpha tests for N.I revised sequencer?
Nice!
im def going to try this. right now im using cubase 9.5. mostly original metal (with a ton of plugins obviously), and i mess around with some lofi and funk stuff. it's free so why not
and you can pull it up as a VST too!
@@AveMcree ahhh. my weekend is sorted now - i'll be all over this. thanks for sharing this with us
I always wanted 2 learn how 2 make beats,, but it looks so difficult, & also Idk anything about music notes. I was thinking about getting the akai mpk mini mk3
Good vid Ave.
thank you
Hey what’s up I like ur videos there very informative I have a question about how to transfer steams from the mpc one
This is Dope!
Is MPC Beats better than LMMS? What do you think?
Mine won't open the templates and libraries - says they can't be verified and might be malicious. So I have the program installed, but I can't access any sounds like you are doing, so it looks like I maybe cannot use it - there doesn't seem to be any recourse if your computer doesn't like / can't verify the source isn't malicious.
Review LMMS please sir
They need to make this software for IPad.
iMPC is pretty similar.. It needs to be updated though.. You know the vibes
Impc2 is out
Dope!
Great video! Would like to see a comparison of this vs. Serato Studio
That idea was in my head! Glad to see great minds think alike... The clear advantage would be AKAI's MIDI Mapping with their own controllers
I GOT IT ITS PRTTY GOOD
