New to the MPC (use Logic Pro and Maschine) and I have to say, you explained it brilliantly and simply without all the usual unnecessary waffle I hear from many others, well done sir, I hate reading manuals, I just wanna make sounds!
Hey folks... this video is old and outdated. The MPC Software has changed for the better over the years, and what you're seeing here does not properly showcase how you currently sequence multiple instrument plugins. I would suggest that you watch this other video instead - ruclips.net/video/dtRU59mK4ZY/видео.html
Noooooo. LOL The MPC Renaissance comes with 4 plugins (Akai calls them MPC Expansions). They are 1.) The Bank 2.) The 809 3.) The Wub & 4.) The Noise. Everything I'm using in this video are my 3rd party VST instrument plugins. BUT... the new MPC X and MPC LIVE (which are about to come out in 2017) come with a TON of AIR Music Technology VST instrument plugins. The new MPC's (and the new MPC 2.0 software) are on a whole new level.
Best basic tutorial I have seen since the the MPC Ren and Studio dropped. I second Molekulasti comment about your delivery. It was indeed - refreshing - to finally watch a good tutorial without having to engage the ebonics and profanity filter. Thank you for sharing the knowledge.
Thanks for the video. Just bought MPC REN. You've saved me much time and frustration. Your breakdowns are so straight forward and user friendly. Keep posting these tutorials. The best I've seen so far!
Hi Wolf D Thanks so much for this video. I'm an old lady trying to learn a new trick. I just got my MPC a couple of days ago and was sitting here banging my head against the table trying to figure out how to get my MX-61 to play. I haven't finished watching the video yet, but the first 2:25 was extremely helpful to me. I will watch the rest later.
Outstanding --- so well done - you are a great teacher and very talented as well. I just got a Renaissance and this is such a terrific tutorial --- thanks so much
Been subscribed for a while and man, I gotta say... your videos are the most instructive out there. I wouldn't have a clue how to use this damn thing if it weren't for you! Cheers.
This video was so EXTREMELY helpful! I've spent the last few days learning by accidental discovery and still had many questions, this video answered many of my questions. Thanks so much!!!
This other video will be much more helpful. It's more clear and concise (because of the changes and updates to the software over the years). ruclips.net/video/dtRU59mK4ZY/видео.html
Thanks for some top tips. I'm waiting for my Studio to arrive tmrw and I can start playing straight out of the box, and that's all down to you. Keep em coming dude, you explain things so well.
Thanks to Wolf D's "How To Videos" I was able to purchase the Akai MPC Studio and while I'm waiting to receive it in the mail, learned pretty much all needed to know to be ready to setup, sample, Sequence, and slam some tight Ass tracks together B4 I've even got my soft and hardware. He drops simply and tight beats that show you how EZ it is to produce studio quality music, not that garbage I've noticed these other RUclips instructional videos have on them.
Very helpful THANKS MAN!!!!! ive had my Mpc Renaissance for about 5 months and just started making my simple rythems and melodies into songs. I will be veiwing all your MPC or music related videos. A+
Thanks for leaving this video up because I have this version as well as the newer one but this version will work on my 32bit system. This also allows more tracks than MPC beats too.
BIG SHOUT OUT TO THE HOMIE WOLF...HE GOT ME RIGHT ON THIS MPC SOFTWARE IN A MATTER OF MINUTES...YOU WONT LEARN SHIT RIGHT IF YOU TRYING TO LEARN FROM AKAI PRO...THEY WILL HAVE YOU TWISTED (NO KEITH SWEAT)...MUCH RESPECT FOR ALL THE HELP MAN...I WOULDVE BEEN LOST FOREVER...ANYTHING ANYBODY NEEDS TO KNOW ABOUT THE SOFTWARE OR DEVICE LOOK NO FURTHER...HIS TUTORIALS ARE 100% ACCURATE...#SALUTE FAM
Worrrd up. Well, if you haven't done so yet, you should give Akai tech support a call. What you're trying to do is an absolute basic midi function so there should definitely be a way to do it. I unfortunately can't experiment with it on my end because I don't have any external keyboards to try it out with.
DUDE!!!!! Man Wolf D...u incredible bruh!!! Man U made this so digestible, very simple but yet concise!! I jus got da Touch...couple days ago....struggling...lol...even tho I'm a veteran wit da MPC 2000 and ok wit da 500.... Thanks Wolf!!!! By da way....da beat HOT!!! U inspired da he'll out of me!!! Bout to go to da lab shortly...
Fantastic tutorial!It shows how nice 7 logical the workflow is with the Studio.I actually like it better than Maschine.I'm also diggin' the fact that I can start beats on my Ipad with iMPC and bring them to the Studio to finish them. Thanks man!
Must say, this is by far one of the best tutorials for the newbies like me. Thanks for being this lucid. Could u also explain (or point me to some other video) as to how you are doing the setup. I have a 25 key Akai midi keyboard, and a MPC studio, whats the best connectivity architecture
1.) Regarding sequencing multiple plugins... watch this other video instead. - ruclips.net/video/dtRU59mK4ZY/видео.html 2.) Answering your question... simply connect the midi keyboard and MPC Studio to any available usb port on your computer.... or you can plug them into a usb hub that's connected to a port on your computer. Turn the hardware on 1st, and the MPC software 2nd. The software will recognize that the hardware is connected.
@@djwolfd Brilliant ..with guru's like you around .. who cares about a 500 page manual. Thanks a ton. As a continuation to this video could u also demonstrate how to add a vocal track upon this instrument track, and apply necessary vocal filters (reverb/echo etc), to make it look like a professionally recorded song. That would be very awesome
Nice work flow....and that run was funky...I'm still torn between the maschine and mpc studio to replace my mikro....def appreciate the informative vid...subbed...
There are numerous ways to speed up a sample. It depends on if you're trying to speed up both the tempo and the pitch.... or if you're trying to speed up the tempo, but retain the same pitch. To speed up both tempo and pitch, one option is to press the PROG EDIT button on the MPC, and then turn the SEMI or FINE knobs.
You don't need an external sound card to use the MPC Studio. At the very least, you could just use the internal output port on your computer and connect that to some speakers / monitors. Yes, you can play notes and chords using the pads. You don't have to have an external keyboard.
Rodney D Yes. The latest MPC software update (1.5) now allows you to use the MPC Studio and MPC Renaissance as controllers for other software. There's actually a separate hardware update also.
Wolf D important to note, that when you use your MPC software inside logic, it doesn't allow you to load external vst's. Furthermore you will have to export your sequences as audio files and put them inside your logic project in order to get your mpc drums to appear on your bounced project.. - I might be wrong, got this a few weeks ago. - the MPC is awesome, :)) but i for some reason wish that it would be more integrated in Logic Pro. Im feeling like just going with the mpc software in the future instead of using logic. Good and understandable tut mate!
That's awesome man.... i want to doing to get a MPD and ableton but this makes way more sense to get... I want to get The Studio and get samples of the Motif XS for Akai
In case you didn't do it, you need to select "Install Content" from the MPC Software Install Disc in order to access the 9GB of samples that comes with it.
Just wanted to thank you sir for making me go out and spend some cash AGAIN because of watching your videos ;) and one more thing, i have that same mouse lol
Yo.... you are absolutely correct about this. I realized that the 1st time I tried exporting stems, I was experimenting using VST instrument plugins that were on different tracks. I just tried the "Separate Tracks" option again with a bunch of individual samples that were all on the same track, and it didn't split them up. I pulled out the manual again and it says that it's only capable of doing this at the "Track Mixer" level. Mannnnn... I really hope they change this up with OS 1.3.
You can sequence your external keyboard with the MPC software, but remember, the MPC is not a full Digital Audio Workstation, so you won't be able to actually record the audio from your keyboard into the MPC software. You'll need an actual DAW for that (Pro Tools, Logic, Ableton, Garageband, etc).
And..... to speed up the tempo but not the pitch, open the sample in the SAMPLE EDIT window and select the TIME STRECH feature. You would need to punch in the original BPM of the sample as well as the new faster BPM. There's also a PITCH SHIFT button in the same area which is a way to change the pitch but not the tempo.
Go up to "File"... select "Audio Mixdown"... then select "Separate Tracks". You can choose to rip out each track as either a .WAV, .AIFF, or .MP3 file.
It's worked great for how I use it. But I use it in a very simplex way. Also, I'm a Pro Tools 8 user so I had no other choice really. In regards to the mic pre-amp, 95% of the vocals I record are for radio commercials and not music performance vocals. It sounds great for producing my commercial spots (I'm using a Blue Blueberry mic), but someone who uses it more for plugging in guitars and singing could probably give you much better insight than me.
I can't find the window in order to set a different plugin for a different track. I just recently got mpc essentials so perhaps they eliminated that feature? What solutions might you have to layer two plugins or instruments onto the same sequence?
I believe this is a different piece of software than Essentials. called MPC 2 or something like that. MPC Studio comes with MPC 2.0 software. Essentials comes with the MPD series. These are two different pieces of software altogether. Hope that helps, my man. Peace.
I briefly mention hooking up external gear from 1:29 - 2:00. Here's the basic breakdown..... you would connect the midi in and midi out cables from your keyboard to the midi in and midi out adapters that come with the MPC Studio... pull up a MIDI TRACK in the MPC Software... and set the same midi channel on the midi track within the software AND on your keyboard so that they talk to each other and sync up.
GREAT TUTORIAL. Getting ready to get my own now. One question, will i be able to load these projects made on the studio to the MPC renaissance and vise versa?
Awesome bro! Thank you! I was getting frustrated. I bought a new midi keyboard so I wouldn't have to use my big board with my mps studio. I had a hell of a time setting up the keyboard using novation. I got it hooked up but it wasn't fully functional. Still need to know how to chop a sample to the keys on a midi keyboard so I can play it there instead of the mpc pads
Hi there Wolf D , im new to the mpc scene. I have made a song in 1 sequence , but what i would like to do is split it up into like 6 sequences and play around with the different parts. Cant seem to find any videos on how to split it up and copy pieces etc.. Dont forget im a noob. Great channel so i subbed.
The simple answer is… 1.) What ever midi keyboard you can afford will do just fine because they all do the exact same thing…. and 2.) If you're a keyboard / piano player, then you wanna get a midi keyboard that has the most comfortable feeling keys for your playing style. The one I'm using in this video is a pretty cheap one called the M-Audio Oxygen 61. I now use a much better one called the M-Audio Axiom Pro 61,
I'm running a 2012 Mac with an Intel Core i7 processor and 16GB of RAM. No problems at all in my lab my man... although I know the MPC software has problems working with 64 bit plugins. My solution to that... I use those specific plugins in Pro Tools instead.
Wolf D, what's good man. Love the tutorials. Keep up the great work! Question, are you aware of whether or not that the Software for the MPC Studio has the multi-touch virtual turntable interface like in the iMPC Pro app for the iPAD? Thanks in advance for whatever you may find out. One.
Kenya Miller Naa, it doesn't have the little virtual turntable. The MPC software has much more extensive and accurate sampling and editing capabilities. Check out my Sample Chopping video to get an idea of what sampling is like with the MPC software. AKAI MPC SOFTWARE TUTORIAL - SAMPLE CHOPPING
Hey Wolf D, love your videos on the mpc studio. But I have the Ren and I followed this video to get started, just wondering why when I saved my file from song mode using your step by step instructions, the Mp3 song file exported on my desktop was only 15 seconds long. I thought I recorded 32 bars through 4 sequences which would be longer then 15 seconds. Did I forget to set some kind of song/time length ?
+M.J. P Is there any chance that you might have went back to one of your sequences before you exported the audio? Try it again and make sure that you're still in Song Mode when you go through the export process. Let me know what happens?
I'm thinking Studio One should allow you to pull up the MPC as a VST plugin... then you should be able to pull up your MPC session (within Studio One) and patch the audio outputs/cables of your external keyboard into an audio interface... then route the audio interface into available audio tracks within Studio One.
Hello, my friend, excellent video, congratulations! I would like to know if you can help me in a doubt I have an MPC renaissance and when I press the Rec button it will overdub automatically after looping a sequence! Do you know how to program to stay rec continuously instead of turning overdub? thank you friend!
Mate, fucking nice beat.👌🏻 Chuffed I stumbled across your channel. I just bought a studio I can’t use thanks to a fucked P.C. So I’m watching you play to relive the mental withdrawal symptoms I’m getting battered with! 😆 My first MPC since having to sell my beloved Ren about two years ago, and the fuckers sitting in the corner sprouting mushrooms til I can conjure up the spare money for a new laptop/pc! Fucking gutting lol. Anyway, god bless and all the best fae bonnie Scotland pal. 🏴
I was just given a use keyboard.. Not bad but was wondering & trynna to connect it so I can use it with my Akai MPC Studio but can't figure it out.. Help.. ?
Hello, I´m thinking buy it but, I don´t know if I plug the usb port of the mpc to a Midi divider, for have Midi A, Midi B... banks, and that way can control my diferent synths for sequence them without computer. Do you know if that´s possible ?? I know that the MPC renaissance have four midi out, my idea is emulate it.
This was from a January 14th 2010 article, so now I'm definitely wondering if you maybe have both a mono and stereo version of the VST, and maybe the MPC Software has selected a mono version....... CHANGES IN BASS STATION V1.6 Added Stereo version of the VST plug-in. Fixed issue with authorising on Snow Leopard and Windows 7. Fixed ‘gurgling’ noise with the default patch. Fixed issue with version number.
FYI.... when the new MPC 2.0 software update drops in May of 2017, it will officially be a DAW..... so YES, you will now finally be able to record vocal / real time audio tracks.
I am new to the mpc studio. A lot of this stuff is over bearing and the tech support doesn't give much help. I was wondering if I can get your help setting things up. I really need it.

Thank you. For making step a step by step video. I do have a question. You mentioned that you could use your triton via midi cables. How?
Great video bro. Well explained.
GREAT TUTORIAL. Getting ready to get my own now. One question, will i be able to load these projects made on the studio to the MPC renaissance and vise versa?

Kenya Miller Naa, it doesn't have the little virtual turntable. The MPC software has much more extensive and accurate sampling and editing capabilities. Check out my Sample Chopping video to get an idea of what sampling is like with the MPC software. AKAI MPC SOFTWARE TUTORIAL - SAMPLE CHOPPING
This helped me a lot bruh 🙏🏾
Hey Wolf D, love your videos on the mpc studio. But I have the Ren and I followed this video to get started, just wondering why when I saved my file from song mode using your step by step instructions, the Mp3 song file exported on my desktop was only 15 seconds long. I thought I recorded 32 bars through 4 sequences which would be longer then 15 seconds. Did I forget to set some kind of song/time length ?
+M.J. P Is there any chance that you might have went back to one of your sequences before you exported the audio? Try it again and make sure that you're still in Song Mode when you go through the export process. Let me know what happens?
I'm thinking Studio One should allow you to pull up the MPC as a VST plugin... then you should be able to pull up your MPC session (within Studio One) and patch the audio outputs/cables of your external keyboard into an audio interface... then route the audio interface into available audio tracks within Studio One.
Finally a beatmaker that can talk. None of that aaaaight, uknoimeen, i'm the best bullshit. Thanks :)
Hello, my friend, excellent video, congratulations! I would like to know if you can help me in a doubt I have an MPC renaissance and when I press the Rec button it will overdub automatically after looping a sequence! Do you know how to program to stay rec continuously instead of turning overdub? thank you friend!
Thanks Bro! Can you answer another one for me? ...how do I use the folder icons on the mpc software? What are they used for?
All you have to do is go up to "File"... select "Audio Mixdown"... then select "Separate Tracks". It'll rip out each track as a .WAV file.
Mate, fucking nice beat.👌🏻
Chuffed I stumbled across your channel. I just bought a studio I can’t use thanks to a fucked P.C. So I’m watching you play to relive the mental withdrawal symptoms I’m getting battered with! 😆
My first MPC since having to sell my beloved Ren about two years ago, and the fuckers sitting in the corner sprouting mushrooms til I can conjure up the spare money for a new laptop/pc! Fucking gutting lol.
Anyway, god bless and all the best fae bonnie Scotland pal. 🏴
Thank you for this! Super cool video! A+++
Your a Blessing Bro great teaching...
I was just given a use keyboard.. Not bad but was wondering & trynna to connect it so I can use it with my Akai MPC Studio but can't figure it out.. Help.. ?
Look at the :31 second - :54 second part of this video, then tell me what happens when you attempt to do the same thing.
@@djwolfd he really wanted help lol 4 years no reply
😂😂😂
Hello, I´m thinking buy it but, I don´t know if I plug the usb port of the mpc to a Midi divider, for have Midi A, Midi B... banks, and that way can control my diferent synths for sequence them without computer. Do you know if that´s possible ?? I know that the MPC renaissance have four midi out, my idea is emulate it.
this is very informative thanks for the post
This was from a January 14th 2010 article, so now I'm definitely wondering if you maybe have both a mono and stereo version of the VST, and maybe the MPC Software has selected a mono version.......
CHANGES IN BASS STATION V1.6
Added Stereo version of the VST plug-in.
Fixed issue with authorising on Snow Leopard and Windows 7.
Fixed ‘gurgling’ noise with the default patch.
Fixed issue with version number.
Awesome work bro
Great video Wolf. One question for you. Can you record vocal tracks with the mpc software?
No… it's not a DAW like Pro Tools, Logic, Ableton, etc.
FYI.... when the new MPC 2.0 software update drops in May of 2017, it will officially be a DAW..... so YES, you will now finally be able to record vocal / real time audio tracks.
great simple tutorial. thanks bro
I am new to the mpc studio. A lot of this stuff is over bearing and the tech support doesn't give much help. I was wondering if I can get your help setting things up. I really need it.
thanks wolf D all has been helpful !!!
