This is my honest review of the Akai Force. I really try to share what it's actually like to use it every day, what the device hardware feels like etc. It is the worlds first standalone music production studio and features everything you need to make music without connecting to a computer
Hello sir iam from india love your work sir...i need some help can you make video...if i have lyrics and tone of that lyrics and i know that its right,how can i put music in it and set the metronome and beats in that song...
@@fencefirst2722 This is NOT a controller ... It's a stand-alone machine with its CPU and SW, internal sounds and virtual devices, etc ... it works without connecting it to any computer !
This is what i was always hoping from back then when i played live with Ableton crashing on stage more than once. If you ever played in front of a crowd you start to value other things like VST plugs , you only need stability . So, AKAI, keep it like that, do not listen to the free lech community, let us have a rock solid box to fire of clips , tracks and midi loops and you did the best thing ever to the live crowd :)
Sorry, but I don’t quite understand your review. Do you really recommend this device for onstage or is there something better out there to bet your $$$ on?
I've just recently found your channel, and I must say, you've already helped me a lot with problems I'm having when learning about music production. I've just started my journey with mixing and mastering. I've been playing guitar/drums/bass for a while, but the process of making my own stuff from start to finish is relatively new! It seems like such a long road, yet I'm finding it all so interesting. I always thought 'if you want to truly have your own sound, learning to mix and master is the key to achieving that'. I was never happy when I went to studios. I never could fully achieve my own vision of a sound when someone else tweaked my recorded tracks according to their own taste. It seems like absolute ceative freedom when writing songs, only happens when you get into sound engineering. That's why I love the idea of it. Anyway, back to my main point. Thanks for being you, dude. You're an absolute inspiration, who I strive to be like someday. 😎😎
Like a breath of fresh air, one of the most gifted reviewers on the web, makes a bit more sense of this overwhelming product. I get the concept, but would definitely like a more in depth analysis.
Great, professionally rendered review. Many of us FORCE users would surely appreciate more detailed views of using this amazing device exactly the way you do it! When the FORCE was new to you, you surely met some situations that may have confused you or slowed down the same way us users. I know your time and effort put into making such videos is really demanding and so, please take this comment only as a humble asking that aims to make our occasional FORCE frustration unnecessary...
Im glad you mentioned what the word standalone means. A independent device that runs its own processing unit. People seem to confuse that word with battery powered mobile device alot
Just wish it had a Battery. still gonna get one though. looks like a beast. hats off to Akai for always pushing the boundaries. you know third party plug-ins are coming to Akai's standalone devices in the future sometime. its looking good.
Very good. Good that you make targeted and detailed videos. I'm just seeing your channel and I have to say you're great! Excellent tips and tutorials. I really appreciate that you have subtitles so those who have difficulty with English ( I hahaha) can better understand and translate the whole thing. Thank you so much and keep it up!!!
This guy is perfect ... Perfect reviews talented musician excellent sound engineer perfect voice he's like a robot that really looks human the best AI specimen so far 😎 by the way the Force looks amazing 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
With this instrument, I could be a radio man with immediate one stop / all gadgets around with me. Woow . THANK you for the Info here, watching from ROMA con AMOR!
This is so dope!!! Why are people acting like they can't run the sound from their laptops/computers through this? I see so many people have no creativity in real life. So many solutions to your problems are already there. Modern producers are largely their own technicians. Signal flow principles should be in every modern producers repertoire. How can y'all not see how dope this is?!?!
This is amazing I still create on my MPC 2000XL and have been waiting for AKAI to merge both worlds. I've used Maschine for a while but went back to my MPC because it's I can do much more with it. I can't wait to add this to my studio.
It would be really cool if you made a couple of videos of you making a complete song from start to finish. Producing, mixing, mastering, all of it. It would be really informative!
Not sure how I feel about this. On the one hand, it looks like it might be quite fun, but on the other it's hard to think of a good reason to use this and not just a laptop. Plus not being able to use third-party plugins seems to make it quite limited.
Excellent video young man. Nice fast delivery, chock full of completely relevant details on this item. I'm certainly going to take a closer look at this unit. I'm interested in using it live, and would love to see another video from you that focusses on using it live. (i.e. - music already produced, but arrangements created on the fly.
hey man. first of all great video. it was the one that brought me to the channel and I have loved watching your other videos. please make more videos on Force as I think it is a great thing and that you have a fantastic creative ability and skill in explaining things. thanks a bunch!!!
A always, it was a true pleasure watching this video of yours!!! Thank you. I wonder if you could still offer a tutorial on this device for those of us interested in making some tracks for genres like trance, dance, minimal techno, melodic techno, psytrance (which some people claim is not music), and happy hardcore maybe 😁😁😁😁
2:18 does this lcd screen have some bluelight filter and brightness control? is it easy on eyes to use in darkness? (maybe some issues with PWM backlight flickering, blue tint, not comfortable minimal brightness level or supersmall fonts?).
For me this is a game changer! I use hardware only for my LivePA Techno set. This year I had planned to move away from the laptop. This device makes that very clear now!! Thank you Akai!! ;)
That ending is inspiring. Would you make a video on learning instruments such as the guitar? (Maybe a few tips n' tricks) Or maybe a video that talks about your background with learning your instruments?
Wow. I guess if you thought it was a lousy device you would not have bothered with it instead of giving a thumbs down review, which is fine. I want to be rich only so i could just buy devices like this without thinking or saving for it. I want to be spoiled. Thanks for another excellent video. Its not only what you say but you do a great job editting and polishing the audio
i wish one of the 1000s of videos would explain the pads in every mode? i use it with my midi but the layout of pads for notes octaves sharps i see videos with with people using modes other than the record to make tracks i don't understand why the heck no one explains the pads!
Wouldn't be awesome if FL studio came out with a stand alone hardware unit like this that can do everything you do on the pc in FL within that one hardware unit with drum pads like this one ?... I'd grab one in a heartbeat...
I am confused by the lack of inputs or the option to connect an audio interface. This thing would be more than amazing if they had added an ADAT connection at the back. sequence and record any gear in one box would be a huge selling point. As it stands you have to either just record one item or use a mixer and solo the channel you want to sample. Not hard to overcome this limitation, but i was hoping this gonna be an 8-track recorder / sequencer when i saw it the first time.
I want to start writing songs using this . When covid hit , all my gigs went away . I'm just not sure , I'm 63- It may be too late to learn how to use it .What is the learning curve for someone revisiting this type of music making ? I had a small midi setup in 1990 ,Back then it was a nightmare .I'm impressed with how far these units have come . - I want to write new songs using all the cool things this can do .
If you haven't already, could you get Akai to lend you an Akai MpC One to do a review with ? I find your reviews not only to be extremely comprehensive but also fair and honest.
I would like to see a demo of this prepared for a live setting with it set up to play 7 or 8 songs, would you have all your tracks set up in one project?
I would set up all my tracks in one project I think, there are so many tracks and scenes to navigate that it might be the easiest way, however I would also use it in conjunction with a cdj for mixing and that would queue a song for if you wanted to load a new project
@@inthemix What about in a band application, where the songs don't have to be mixed and all the songs tempos vary from 112 to 150 depending on the setlist, so launching a scene could essentially be viewed as starting one song if I were to set it up like, but I am guessing that scenes can not be set up with independant bpm right? You can't just go Scene 1 is track one at 120bpm press stop and vocalist says whatever it is they say to people from the stage(I'm sure it's always really important) then you start the next scene loaded with stems of the next song at say 130bpm?
@@void_division that's interesting, well you can realtime tempo shift using the encoder so if you know the BPM you can simply adjust before you launch, it takes two seconds. Or you could launch the clips and adjust smoothly into the next clip. What I might do is use the crossfader to blend in another song/ background music while you tempo shift the project to shift.
Love my Force! When we get drum synth and arranger mode? I guess you don't really need it and it's fun to be able to rearrange your songs buts still.. you said we would get it and we didn't yet... What the deal? And is it normal to save slow with splice samples? Mine does when saving to SD card. Maybe it's the card
Did you attempt to use the Akai force as a DAW controller for FL studio. Because I am wondering how it would work in comparison to the Akai fire for Fl. Thanks.
Love the video!! So does this work as a controller instead of standalone like my push 2? I'm curious if it's basically a push with a built in audio interface and standalone capabilities.
there is a lot of delay between the finger moving on the screen and the gizmo reacting. this isn't the case on the MPC one was this eventually fixed with a firmware update?
Unfortunately it has a very limited RAM spec. 2 gb isn't enough for some complex projects, and knowing Akai it probably isn't upgradable. Great video by the way.
Thanks, I didn't know it had mic inputs that was helpful. Nor did i know that those pads were organized (in a certain mode) to be the tracks. There are a couple of areas in which I'd like to see more depth. 1) Instruments available -- are there nice strings or horns available, or a vibraphone? 2) Notes -- how do you know order since the pads are not laid out like piano keys.
This looks like a piece of kit I've wanted for years now, so fed up losing songs to a crashed hdd and wasting hours trying to get my DAW to sync with my midi controller and guitars etc. But, can you record guitars, vocals etc directly onto that machine? I heard you mention copy and paste so I'm assuming you can create a complete song by copy and pasting verses/choruses etc? Is it possible to record a verse of guitar and then change it's key or would it only copy and paste exactly whats there? Thanks.
Does it do the clip mode like the MPC live? I want to be able to have a set list of all the songs I’ve made before hand and put all the loops on to the until and be able to turn the loops on and off with by loop format, four bar countdown, or single shot mode.
Almost ready. And you can import / export .als (ableton) files from/into it (apart from the effects of course) although i think (since they own Air software) that the plugins should be made available as VSTs so that you can actually use the same effects in Ableton that you use inside the Force when you export your project.
please make some more in depth content about this device..I really want something quick that i dont have to worry about standalone computer systems..the less stuff the better...

Do a video making a full song with the Akai Force whilst showcasing as much features it has. Then you can make more tutorials for FL studio.
Go make me a sandwich , then you can wash my car.
Im glad you mentioned what the word standalone means. A independent device that runs its own processing unit. People seem to confuse that word with battery powered mobile device alot
Hey Akaï, don't 'Force' me into something i needed ten years ago.

That drum sequencer blew my mind
Just wish it had a Battery. still gonna get one though. looks like a beast. hats off to Akai for always pushing the boundaries. you know third party plug-ins are coming to Akai's standalone devices in the future sometime. its looking good.
Best instrument purchase of my life. This thing is wonderful. Deep, and a lot to learn, but wonderful.
