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. 😎😎
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
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...
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.
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.
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!!!
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!
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 😁😁😁😁
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!!!
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!
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?
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.
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 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 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
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.
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.
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?).
More Force I Just Found One For 925$ Used Only A Couple Of Times I May Purchase That Or A Brand New Akai MPC One On Amazon On Sale Now I Have A Roland MC101 And A Circuit Tracks In My Collection Thats What I've Been Using For The Last Couple Of Months And I'm Steadily Collecting The Roland Boutiques "Gotta Catch Em All" And I've Got The Aira Compacts As Well But There's something about the standalone beat machines that I just love
Greetings, Thanks for all you do to help us producers/engineers. What is the Note repeat/Arp range of this new product (Ex:1/4, 1/2.....1/256, dotted, triplets, etc). Can you punch them in on separate buttons as well as dual the value in on a knob?
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 .
Excellent video thank you Michael. I have some question would really appreciate if you can answe for me, thanks: 1)I use VSTIs (Arturia, Spectrasonics,etc.) with my laptop in Ableton. Is there a way to do this from AF so that I don't need my OSX with Ableton on stage? 2)Can I send a metronome to my drummer via headphones from AF without it being played on the master track? THANKS🙌🏼
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
Can you use this to send / receive midi to external synthesizers? Wondering if this would be good to use with a mixer for all live instruments... but for what I like to do, I’d need to be able to record midi live with my analog synths, and use this to loop the midi. Would be sweet to be able to do all that with no laptop and then have drums and stuff programmed into the force. Anyway thanks for this vid! Super informative and helpful as always
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.
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!! ;)
isn't that space on the bottom to attach the mounting plate? I've not got any of these sorts of devices (I wish I had) but that's the same shape, and the holes in the same place, as mounting plates on a lot of devices e.g. Roland SPD SX
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.
Would it not be conveniant to have hdmi monitor connectivity and mouse on all modern standalone studio machines, for more complex projects on those quite capable machines? Some do more than just beats.
Great video, you are so good with details and the editing is really fantastic. I am still pretty beginner with production but really want something to help me get ideas out more easily. If I had the money I would not hesitate to get this as it looks like everything I want and more but it is super expensive. Do you have any recommendations for cheaper alternatives? I'd really like something standalone but not sure there are such things in much lower price ranges. The Akai MDP226 seems like my best bet right now but I'd really like something that has hardware and software. It is a bonus that it comes with Ableton Live Lite though as I'm still using the trial version of FL and have not yet purchased a DAW. But something dynamic with lots of buttons that can work stand alone would be ideal
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...
Great introductory video. How does it work streaming long audio clips i.e 4- 5 minute ambient backing tracks to jam shorter clips over ? and is there patchability to send to external effects unit, again for live dubs etc ? thanks .
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...
Do the AIR Effects bundle have an amp & cab sim? I really wish they include those effects into the MPC Live also since it's basically the same OS Oh and the mixer view. That's amazing. I really want that on the MPC Live.
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?

I’m telling you,, because of you’re easy to understand explanation I’m switching to the force. Anybody want to by a MPC Live?😂
i love your guitarplay at the end
Thank you, means a lot to me :)
Try to make a tutorial about how you produced some of your own tracks! About how you made the chords, melody, drums...😊
That’s a great sounding mic preamp
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.

Not actually bothered about this box of tricks - but I really liked your review style, very thorough. Easiest subscribe I’ve ever done.
I hoped to see a PHONO with ground on the back, but I suppose that keeps the MPC Live relevant as the drum kits + vinyl sampling brother, eh?
That ending is inspiring.

Or maybe a video that talks about your background with learning your instruments?

Why not? The bigger question is can you find something more suitable or convenient.
I have a Deluge and I wish it had a screen and pressure sensitive pads like this..but saying that the Deluge is fully portable .

unfortunately we will have to be happy enough with the Akai Fire and the new FL keyboards comming out
Do the AIR Effects bundle have an amp & cab sim?
I really wish they include those effects into the MPC Live also since it's basically the same OS
Oh and the mixer view. That's amazing. I really want that on the MPC Live.
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?
