Here is a video on how i am mixing in mpc stand alone and also giving my beat a quick Master. i found it a bit challenging at first when i was trying to give my beats a rough mix and master using the mpc one expansion and mpc one beat 2.10 workflow in standalone just because there was no proper metering fro mixing but after a while, I ended up finding a good mpc mixing and mastering workflow to export my beats without having to stem out my tracks to Ableton for a mixdown. If you guys are producing some lofi boombap or sample-based type of beats on the mpc one arrangment i think this workflow will be helpful. thank you so much for taking the time to what the video.

Hope Akai is hearing, a meter would be very awesome in the box! Nice video!!!😎✌️
I would love to see this myself also
@@malobeats Same since M CLarity doesn't work easily with MPC ONE.
@@meftahe3 Absolutely. I bought one tried and failed. Think it works better on a mixer but not what I was hoping for when I was messing with it and MPC.
Bro I love your casual yet detailed approach. It’s non intimidating and fun! Thanks a bunch! I’ve been watching your videos for a while and liked all of them and now I’m a subscriber! Looking forward to your next videos.
Fantastic explanation of mixing! Thank you 🙏
Very helpful and on point! Thank you!
Bro, big thanks for this video! My first year using an mpc and this is lit AF, a lot of friendly and solid content!
Man the mpc one certainly makes it fairly easy to master of you know what you're doing. Will be using this video for reference to master my beats! Thank you!
I have an X that I was "Forced" to learn after I blew the outs on Force. Now that I finally "get it" editing and sequencing..some mixing, I'm hungry for more. This was a huge help! I had no idea how to to bus on this device, before this video. And..I felt that moment with the delay on the drum..awesome! Your sincerity lends credibility. You're the real deal, great job. Thx!
Maaan thanks tho! You are a very good Teacher, in your vids with focus on „want to have fun“ -- Not to technical-- just very good Content-- a blessing for RUclips and our MPC Community! I‘m so proud to be Part of the family!
Keepongooiiiinnngg broo!! (Y)
Thank you so much for this video! I’ve been searching for a standalone mixing/mastering video for so long!
Hey brother, thank you so much for dropping by and taking the time to share this with me it really means a lot. I’m glad it was helpful
As I get deeper into the mpc world and use it as my go to machine I love videos like this. You really broke it down clearly and it's clear and nit over information. I feel you . Thank you malo .
Thank you so much for sharing this feedback, it was really tough to put out this video since mixing and mastering is a such complex topic and nearly impossible to understand within 15 minutes in a video lol but I’m glad you were able to take Sun Valley from this. I appreciate you taking the time
This was amazing! Got my love 2 coming this Monday! Ima tune in for some more tips
Nice, you kept it nice and subtle.
I like to turn everything down and work from there. My kicks I start low and I use a lp filter to clean up any distortion. Then I'll gradually turn the kick up a notch until it sounds right. I like to use compressors on samples and sounds. Turn them down a bit and work from there. I'm still learning mixing so I got lots to learn. I also like to run my mpc with studio one. I got a faderport controller with fader controls and if I channel it to the right outputs I can mix and master with the faders which is nice.
Awesome bro this what the mpc game been needing thank you helps me alot 👍🏾💯
This means a lot, I highly appreciate you taking the time to watch the video and sharing his feedback. Thank you brother blessings to you
🔥🔥thanks. This is just what I wanted to be able to work with djs and make beats on their set…so that it sounds good. 👍🏾
Thank you, very helpful. would like to see a in-depth video on you taking it from a rough mix & master to what you consider a complete mix & master using the Mpc in standalone.
Thank you my friend it's good I found for the translation in the reader it's huge, thank you
Thank you bro, learned a lot ... 🙏
Malo I gotta say, I have zero experience mixing and mastering but this video has my beats sounding a lot cleaner! Thanks bro 🙏🏽
Love the video always high class 🙌💪🔥🔥🔥
Thank you brother it really means a lot I appreciate you taking the time out of your day to check out the Contant.
Good stuff👍🏾
This is very helpful 👌
Dope beat btw!
Peace Wigges! :)
I needed this lol. Your a great teacher dude 💪
Hey brother, I appreciate you taking the time in watching a video I’m glad it was helpful.
Hi thanks for the info on the kick I was puzzled for ages why I couldn’t use the mastering plugins it would be nice to see a video on hard industrial techno mixing & mastering
thanks for this great on point tutorial Malo ! i will review alot of my beats now :)
Thank you for taking the time and checking out the video, this was pretty hard to put out because mixing and mastering could be a very complex topic is good to look out for these pointers every now and then but at the end of the day if the beat sounds good that’s all that matters. Thank you so much for taking your time brother.
Your video was easy to understa👍
That a stoup style beat ! Its clean !
Ill be sure to put this to use today. I got some crappy stuff I uploaded on my channel to use as a timestamp, but got a buttload of projects to upload.....just was never able to find good decent info for mixing and mastering on the mpc. Also with a little girl due this week, the last thing I want is speakers waking her up🤣🤣🤣. God Bless Brother. Thanx Again 🙏👍💯
Good video.
Malo for the win!
It would be amazing if there was a visual eq, a bit like fabfilter, it would work really well on a touchscreen. I know you should use your ears but it would be a great addition.
Thanks for the video man 👍🏼
Man, that sample gives me such early 00s greek hiphop vibes.
Great video. I can apply these tips to my productions. Dope🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank you brother appreciate you taking the time to watch the video
good job brow bless
Yo man love this shit. Mpc one is a beast. Thanks for all the sick videos on it !
I appreciate you brother thank you so much for taking the time in watching some of the continent it really means a lot.
@@malobeats hell ya dude. Keep it up with these videos.
I Like your vids! keep it on hombre!
Thank you so much brother it really means a lot for you to take the time and share this.
Great video. Thanks for sharing your techniques.
Hey Sam, thank you for taking the time. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
@@malobeats No problem bro. Your videos are really dope. Keep doing your thing 👊🏽
Great Video MALO!
Thank you brother, I appreciate you taking the time and watching the video it really means a lot.
Gonna check this one out tomorrow! Thank you Malo!
Thank you brother really means a lot I appreciate you taking the time
@@malobeats did check it! The EQ parts is always a problem for since every beat needs its own eq work. Like,we need to know what we want/need and most of the times I don't really know yet! But thank! Gonna rewatch this and other videos! My latest beat was mixed on the MPC btw eheh Big up and keep it up!!
Thanks alot 🔥
Thank you for taking the time 🙏🏽🙏🏽
🔥🔥🔥
Thaaaanks!
I love the part "you know how good music sounds in your headphones" and it's true. If you train your ears, you can mix using headphones. I have headphones because my room is part of my living room, and I don't want to transform my living room into a studio, I want to have fun making music and push my creativity with the limitations I have. I learned a lot trying to figure out how to get the best mixing with headphones and it was totally worth it and probably I learned more things than just mixing in a perfect mixing room. Thanks a lot for the videos and your advice. I bought my MPC one yesterday. I use Cubase but I wanted to avoid distractions from my laptop and use a hardware sequence for the raw idea, and of course later mix and master everything in Cubase. I used a lot during the 90s a Kawai Q80ex with my Emax II (and I still have both), but after watching your videos I fell in love with the MPC because it is a machine that can do much more than just some hip hop beats, and as a sequencer it's pretty strong and of course I have a super powerful sampler as well inside the One. Cheers!
Hey Max, thank you so much for taking the time to share this input and I’m glad this resonated with you. Same here, I have felt so much more focus being able to sequence mix and master all within my MPC.
Facts , my Audio techina ad900x Open back are my go two for mixing
You're appreciated thank you
Thank you so much willie, I appreciate you taking the time brother 🫡
@@malobeats Awesome, likewise.
Thanx very much Malo! Your vids are very helpful and your charizma makes it even more watchable haha. The sound sounds dope even on my phone speakers. Im glad that is possible to make a good sound just in this box. I have a one question: if you wanna sidechain kick vs sample track: do you need put mother ducker on kick and sample as well? I just use sidechain in ableton and i there you need to put sidechain comp just on sample track and set "kick" in the settings of the compressor. Im just curious because im 90% shure that i will buy mpc one and i just looking for some last informations. Your vids are definitely very helpful and im thanking you again for that. (Sorry for my bad english) Have a nice day guys.
I’m getting ready to release my first beat tape and this is super clutch thank you bro 🙏🏼
Hey man, you release it yet¿
Cool man I'll shoot you a follow and check it out. I released my first beat tape last year so I know what a big step it is
@@tom22333 appreciate that man yeah it’s been a lot of work but glad it’ll finally be ready to release
Thanks for the video. Why do you need both the compressor and limiter in the mastering section? Thank you.
Hi mate, lovely content.
I really wish Akai would implement better metering and just for selfish reasons a freeky reverb like the Eventide Black Hole.
Perhaps they will add better metering tools in the future.
Version 2.11 is released on June 23rd.
I'm sure you have seen the excitement in the MPC Community with the anticipated new firmware release.
I've been making underground electronic music since 1984, Djing since 1988.
Last summer I obtained a two week old mint condition MPC One for a very reasonable price. I haven't released anything for one year, partly due to not feeling inspired cus the music scene in Berlin is fucked. Anyway I thought it was time to use new tools to create an album and a few eps for 2022. This machine is more than capable of doing it all from first concept to final mix down.
Mastering, will be done elsewhere....
Blessings from a Brit living in Berlin.
Amazing. how the heck do I learn how to hear frequencies enough to be able to use an EQ well?
Thank you for the video, Malo. I loved the beat, brother. I am sure that eventually this video will assist me. However, I am not there yet and some of this tutorial went over my head, because I am still a newbie. I am a big fan of your channel and a supporter since the channel launched. I'd like to make a suggestion: Make a full tutorial on how to use the MPC One from beginning to end and a full tutorial on mixing and mastering and SELL it. I am sure many would purchase it, myself included. It's abundantly clear that you have established yourself as an EXPERT on the MPC One and a trusted source of information. Please consider producing those "paid for" tutorials. I hope you and your family have a blessed Thanksgiving.
Hey David, no worries and trust me this was very hard for me to release since I know mixing and mastering it’s a very complex topic which almost seems impossible to understand within 15 minutes in a video. Honestly the most important thing is to have fun and not worry too much about the technical stuff. Honestly if the beat sounds great that’s all that matters at the moment and through time I’m sure the mixing in mastering aspect will start making more and more sense
@@malobeats ❤ Don't forget about the idea of releasing a "how to" PAID video for learning the MPC One. Thank you, Malo.
hello Malo... I've been following you for a long time... can't you make an updated video with the new working methods for a mix and master in mpc and also a video on daw? it would be nice for us to cue follow you. thanks
Id love some type of metering as well. This is very similar to how I do my rough masters. Can get a great sound just in the MPC. I like your use of multiple compressors to push the mix a bit louder. You are a wizard on the EQ. I do a little filtering on the high/lows but could do a little more subtle EQing after to clean it up. Curious if you high pass around 50 on most beats vs 20-30. Thanks for the vid!
Thank you so much for dropping by and sharing this feedback as I’m actually going to be working on A part two with mixing in the MPC hardware. And in regards to the high passing it honestly would just depend I honestly just play back the beat as I start shifting my high pass and I will stop as soon as I start hearing a noticeable difference and push it back down just a few notches.
Is there a particular reason you choose use the PEQ over the air parametric eq. Very helpful vid too bro keep rocking
Thanks for sharing your knowledge on the mix.. I always love your beats and tunes.. can you give us a link where we can hear this banger with it’s lyrics.. do you rap on it?;-0 Español lyrics would sound right to me...
Hey brother, thank you so much for this feedback it really means a lot and I appreciate you enjoying the content. And here’s a link to a few of my tracks but I am planning out to release some more down the road: malo1.bandcamp.com/track/primer-amor
I hope they're listening, would love to see a metering plug, final piece tbh
Hey Malo love ur videos im a total noob when it comes to sampling or law. I wonder if u have an easy answer for using samples and putting ur records out? I wonder why noone is really adressing this in the amarteur MPC community
About time somebody did a full gain staging/mixing tutorial strictly within the box. Bro I use FL/maschine and a few other programs so I'm used to exporting but since I got the mpc live I just want to live in this box and try to master it(as much as humanly possible lol) appreciate it malo. Do u ever make beats without sampling? I use keyboards/vsts. I dabble in sampling but it's not my preference, but 99% of the guys with the newer generation of maschine on youtube usually sample
@@jonathansoko1085 will do. Thank you kind sir
@@jonathansoko1085 Marcello- yeah dude is pretty good at making modern music. I see the video is 2 wks old so it's fairly new, can't believe I missed it THANKS
Hey Marvin I appreciate you taking the time and watching the video, and yes there is other videos that go into much more detail when it comes down to mixing in the MPC but I wanted to do my version and keep it somewhat short but I know mixing in mastering is a very deep topic and it’s almost impossible to explain within 15 minutes lol. And yes most of my music is all sample-based since there’s something that I enjoy to do but I do wish I can play some instruments so I can do something out of the sampling world, I’ve tried it but my beats come out extremely horrible lol it just takes a little more practice for me to play out some keys.
@@malobeats thanks for the feedback & keep doing your thing bro. I'm the exact opposite I'm an instrument player who's trying to dabble in the sampling world but usually my sampled beats don't turn out too well and after about 30 mins I'm like screw this I'm going back to what I know lol, but I guess it's all about the time WE put into it.
@@malobeats I come from a sampling background, too! As a non classicaly trainied musician it is hard to get into playing chords and I struggle with it myself. But: Grooveboxes like the new MPCs and Maschine have these chord features. So, use them and then randomize the notes and create your own melodies to sample. Use FX like saturation, bit-crushing, filters, LFO' s if you want to get a sound close to "real samples". It takes time and effort to learn this sound design skill but to me it' s worth it. What' s cooler to say than: "I sampled myself!" 😉?!?!
👍🏾
This video just changed my life forever. That compressor is a game changer! Thank you!
Yo I always put a low pass filter on my samples it sounds good but when I play it in my car the beats are really low sounding compared to other songs that I listen to that I didn't make.
And also does this process work for akai mpc live one as well?
I’m gonna try this over the weekend. I may be able to get out of using ozone. And I love ozone
Hey victor, bro it’s funny you mentioned ozone because I’ve just started using ozone for some of my mastering in the DAW.
@@malobeats it’s not a bad program. It’s actually awesome. I decided to keep ozone. Mostly for collaboration projects. Because not everyone uses a MPC.
That Kick is Sick/Thick
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
I would like to know if it’s possible to master without a DAW on a MPC
What type of computer do you recommend preferably a PC
Great video! I’m gonna use this method to follow along and see how far I can go. Of course, the original sounds have to sound good. One question: did you have only the drums and sample on this project, or do you have a bass on another channel?
Hey Pablo, great question with these beats I just used the base that was recorded within the sample which sounded good to me but I’m actually working on a video going over how to add baselines on or sampled base production which should be releasing pretty soon
@@malobeats Ah! Ok, that’s good to know; looking forward to it 🥰 Peace
have you used flavour pro on any of your masters yet?
Good stuff...next mayb put one of yur homies verses on der to see how we can mix vocals in stand alone wen the computer is down. 👊🏽
Hey brother, Man you have no idea how bad I want to do this, I just don’t have anybody that wraps but I’ve been thinking of putting out a beets and seeing if anybody can send me some lyrics so we can collaborate and mixing entire track
@@malobeats i hear ya fam. They dont have to rap, singer works too. I think the community will find it beneficial as im too still figuring out this MPC ONE. I have emcees i work with, if u interested give me yur Gmail n i can send you couple tings we've dun. I don't do trap music, this is strictly old school 90 s hip hop. 💯
Took the words out of my mouth about mixing in headphones I feel it’s such a stigma when brought up , I have horrible acoustics , babies and neighbors I found I get more accomplished by not worrying about my studio monitors.
I know exactly what you mean, I have my studio monitors which are amazing but almost useless in my bad environment as well, until we move out I am mainly sticking with my headphones to do my mixes. So far I’ve been really happy with it
I do not have compressor master in my effects, am I missing something?
Are you sure that it's really clipping on the master just because the overall mix is in the + dB range? Yes, it will clip if you play it like that, but if you add inserts on the master track, the 32bit floating point audio will route through that before the DA conversion happens. If you do that mixing right and apply a limiter after a compressor, in theory it should be the exact same analog signal as when starting from a - 3dB master level and adding some gain to the compressor to get closer to 0dB before doing anything else like a limiter. That's at least how modern DAWs operate: it will only clip if the signal gets above 0dB at the very final stage of DA conversion.
Word up. I have audio-technica ATH-M40X and I trust them very much. My mixes have improved because of ATH-M40X.
I have beats. Are they good earphones to use or is the beats more commercial than anything?
Is it just personal preference or do you find air compressor has a more pleasant sound than the air limiter?
We need to petition Akai for better meters, I think that VU or RMS plus a multiband comp, and I’ll never need the laptop.
What was you final dB for this beat?
I think AKAI should add a multiband compressor like ableton live in next version 2.11,haha multiband monitor is very useful to me
Oh man that would be crazy if they added that, I could see them adding more plug-ins in an update as they’ve been doing.
Use the sends/returns as a multi-band. It works just like Ableton’s.
Can you just use this with some head phones?
This is the blueprint
I'd be really careful about a general EQ on the master that isn't specifically addressing any mixing issues of that particular song. I reacted when you said you'd cut anything below 50 Hz, that would be killer for certain genres where you definitely want some sub bass. Applying a HP filter around 20 Hz and turning anything below ~200 Hz to mono makes a ton of sense though, as a general rule of thumb. But any EQing beyond that (on the master) should be done with caution and where the ears really need to guide you. Every song will need different EQ.
All this said, I 100% agree about picking the AIR Compressor on the master. It is *by far* the best compressor on this machine. I made the mistake initially of assuming that I should use the Master Compressor plugin on the master outputs, but it turns out that this plugin sounds like crap.
Personally I love the AIR Compressor so much that I don't see the need to apply the Maximizer on top of it. Subtle EQ as appropriate, the compressor (with slower attack and release) as the second step, and then the limiter as the third step is all I need for my songs. Still learning though. 😊
Hey David, I appreciate you taking the time to share your input it really means a lot and there is a lot of valuable information here. It was hard for me to do this video and I did not want to release it since mixing and mastering is a whole separate art and it’s pretty impossible to explain it within 15 minutes in a video lol but I still did my best to put it out and of course there’s so much more technicality that goes into mastering and mixing but this method has worked for me so far to get a rough mix and master for my beats when I export them. Again I appreciate you taking the time to share this information with us thank you brother
@@malobeats It's good that you're helping people get started with it, I appreciate the effort! Just want to encourage your audience to really use their ears. On that note, I recommend that you try to replace the Master Compressor with a second Air Compressor on your mixes to see if that sounds even better. When I A/B tested it here, I stopped using the Master Compressor entirely. Plus, it's way easier to see the impact of the Air compressor visually so you don't accidentally crush things too much. I believe the Master Compressor was developed by Akai themselves when they must have been drunk, while the Air Compressor is clearly high end. 😂
Lastly, thank for being such a nice RUclipsr. I really enjoy your videos overall! 🙏💪
can i export midi stems to mi pc with this macine? i love your videos btw
Hey Mario, great question I’m not too familiar with this topic to be honest with you so I would have to look into it a little bit more.
When you say you live "in a two car garage" do you mean you literally live in a garage? Haha. Besides that point, just found the page and subscribed. My MPC One comes in soon and I'm loving your content. I'll give this a try once it arrives haha.
Literally yes, hahaha we rent a two car garage obviously it’s fixed up for a living space so it’s more like a studio bedroom but we are looking to moving out soon. Hey man congrats on your mpc one I’m exited for you, I’m sure you gonna love it.
@@malobeats Damn bro you made it look pristine! Yo for real this video is already a huge help. You can REALLY hear a difference. Can't wait to put it into action. Thanks for your work and the time to respond, bro! The MPC world is dope haha.
@@remyvegamedia Yeah man, feel free to reach out through Instagram if you ever have any questions once you get your machine feel free to reach out
@@malobeats 🙏🏼 Much respect and appreciate, brother.
Why not tame the transients using a Bus , then leave space on your master?
I find Hiphop boom bap beats the easiest type of music to master. By looking at the waves its self its easy to see wants peaking and what needs Compression.
Most definitely it can be the easiest but at the same time I find it a bit complicated if it’s not my own beat that I am mastering since other peoples work might be a bit all over the place but when is my own track I kind of have an idea of how I want to get it. I appreciate you dropping by ensuring this feedback brother
@@malobeats There are all sorts of new plugins or sound apps to edit sound but I use the most basic and some of the oldest. Having audio stems is key.
You have to turn down those sounds from the input source not the faders
Instrumental frEE
!!!
Is there a way of stopping the tap tempo button from flashing? It's pretty fucking annoying .☮️
This is my abo Video hehe
French subtitle please Malo
Hey brother thank you so much for this request as I’m still exploring RUclips and figuring things out here I’m definitely gonna look into how I can do French subtitles. Thank you thank you for this
Sous titres en français please Malo lol
Carrement
A human can normaly hear up to 17k on average so we can all get to that point j need to do some ear training
....yea I'm still never gonna mix or master on this bullshit🤣 MASCHINE does it better imo, I wish akia would update the mixer...and add more slots.
