MALO, my brother.. I'm a year late to this video, and to be honest.. I've always been intimidated by the Grid, but you really showed me something. I'm gonna try it instead of trying to play swing drums on my own. I appreciate what you do for the community my brother, God bless!!🙏🏾✊🏾💚
Your color grading is looking really dope Malo. Looks rich on my screen, from Los Angeles! Great tips again. I always struggle with swing but you broke it down nice
Hey B it really means a lot, i’m glad you noticed those small minor details as these videos take me hours to edit and put out. I appreciate the feedback and thank you for taking the time. Much love and blessings to you.
@@malobeats much love back atcha keep doing what you’re doing. Been here from the start and really love watching your stuff you really have something special here!
Bro your video quality went beyond universe so fast! The editing just gets better and better. I just bought a mpc live 2 and you keep help me with a better workflow, thanks! Keep going 💯🎉
Amazing video, Malo. I am not saying this because I have been with you since your first video, but I feel that you are positioning yourself as the top MPC tutorial go to on RUclips! You are doing an incredible job. Blessings!
This really means a lot brother, thank you so much for taking the time to share this input with me. Much love to you and hope to continue to grow with you here.
I might get a Live 2, I just really like everything I see about it, its look, size, sound, speaker mobility, Daw like software, tutch screan it's all dope and I think that £900 is a decent price, it's a quality product. I might buy one, I might not.
For what it can do it is under priced in my personal opinion from working with other samplers. I love my MPC one and my live but if I had to choose one I would have to stick with the live
@@malobeats Yes the MPC range is lower then It could be but Akai's strategy is to sell maximum amount of products to the widest range to all types of beat makers even giving away there powerful DAW MPC beats for Free. The level of output from Akai shows that what there doing is working and currently they gained the respect of a substantial amount of the producer community, Everyone Knows Akai.
I was on the fence like you, bought it thinking I might return it. Now it's the main peice of hardware I use. The speaker and battery come in very handy. Like others said you get much more than you pay for. MPC live2 works very well with other gear. Lastly, I'm in the process of selling 4 pieces of gear bc the MPC does their job and does it better.
@@jonathansoko1085 I think I'd choose the Live 2 because or its mobile, I live in a small block of apartments (flats as we call them in UK) and the noise from other nabors is ridiculously disturbing and stressful. I like the idea of just grabbing the Live 2 and walking off somewhere and making beats, to do that right now I'd have to do it with My laptop, a portable speaker and a MPK Mini.
@@tylergates4075 I dont really want an MPC to become the main way of making beats because it makes My DAW software obsolete and I put alot of time into leaning it and building up My work flow to be able to do anything. What was you using before you got the MPC?
Thank you so much for the support and the feedback it really means a lot. I enjoy a lot of Griselda’s work so that’s awesome to be placed in that category. Much love and blessings to you
Hey Sean sorry I did not reply to this message when I first read it but I screenshot it this message. Just want to let you know that I am working on a video focused on your question. As soon as I publish it hopefully tomorrow I will send you the link. Thank you so much for taking the time and asking this question as it’s an awesome question
Thanks for this video and this five useful tips. But your 6th tip es the best. "If one method doen't work, try another". :^) I've got one question : Can you go on the grid and selcet velocity and "draw" velocity variation for your drum on the grid ? I hope my question is clear enough to be nderstood. Thanks again and take care.
Hey bro thanks for the awesome drum session helped a lot , only question when you start nudging things around , the sample chops then go out of time and it sounds a mess especially jazz or funk samples that have soft drums , I try and filter as much as I can , but it all sounds like a world of kicks and snares floating all over the place , and then it doesn’t loop properly , quantize seems to keep things tight with your sample chops. But sounds robotic and straight . Great tutorial though bro , I just can’t get it to work with the samples. Practice makes perfect I suppose .
Hey, so I’ve been looking to buy an Mpc live mk1 or an mpc one and I do not know which one I really want or which one I should get. I would use it in the studio and as a portable machine so I would have to get a battery for the Mpc one. I was originally going to go with the live 1 but just recently I realized how big it was. I would just pull the trigger on the One but i am used to bigger pads and I think I would much rather prefer them but I do not know. With your experience with both, what do you think?
Wow, this question is so good and I just finished a video today on an awesome small portable battery for the mpc one which makes it pretty portable, video should be out by Sunday. The MPC One is amazing and I love everything about it but in order to make it portable you need to have that external battery with a usb power cable attached to it which means a few extra things you need to lug around vs the mpc live, you literally can just walk out the door with it and be done, with that being said I do have to agree that the LIVE is pretty heavy and big but it is built like a tank and feels so solid. The mpc one is also a solid machine but it is a bit more plastic which makes it light weight and portable. I live bother machines so much but if I had to choose one it would be the LIVE.
This is interesting and I’m glad you mentioned to this since I have not really messed with the double timing but it’s something that I really want to try out especially after reading your message. I appreciate you taking the time
Ever mess with swing number within the timing correct window? Do you have a number you prefer? I was always curious if there was a specific number that could replicate the swing of the 3000 or 2000xl. I typically leave mine between 50 - 54.
Hey Ryan, this is interesting I’ve never looked into this but you best believe this caught my attention as I read your comment. Thank you so much for this and I’m definitely going to be looking into this a little more further.
Hey Brother, I believe you could go ahead and select all of the mini notes using your selector tool then hit the velocity/automation tap on your lower right hand side of the LCD screen, and go ahead and dial down the velocity which should affect all of the notes that are selected.
@@malobeats alright bet! I'm currently choosing between an MPC Live 2 Retro and MPC X for the same price of $1100 locally. Wanted to see if this Velocity method worked before I jump into this new system as it's how I always did it in FL Studio.
Dope video brother... just picked up the mk2 couple weeks ago... hey i had a question. When I'm in slice mode and I use the q kinks to adjust my start and end points how do I stop them from popping up on my screen? Is there a setting I need to turn off?
Hold the q-link button above the knobs and de-select the option that says "show q-links function" something like that, if you want to see the commands you can just quickly hold the q link button to remember the actions of the knobs
Great question, The one I’m using in this video will allow you to freely nudge over the notes without snapping to any great value versus the other option will put your notes closer to a grid value which we do not want.
@@malobeats Sorry to correct you, but the absolute option snaps to grid as you mentioned, on the other hand, the relative option moves a midi event depending on your TC (1/4, 1/8, etc) without snapping to the grid. So for example if you have a snare hit that is hitting a lil behind the beat and you like it there but need to move it a quarter of a note it will preserve the swing
Thank you for this question as I am planning a video specifically on how I feel my RUclips videos. I use a Zoom H6 for my microphone and my stereo output of my MPC so that is a total of three channels and I record those three channels separately on the SD card of the zoom H6, I am also recording the scratch audio from my camera which sounds horrible but I end up sinking all of these channels in final cup pro which takes me about 15 seconds to sync then I’ll delete my camera audio and keep my zoom H6 audio which sounds amazing. Hopefully this somewhat makes sense but I’m definitely going to be working on a video on this topic very soon
@@malobeats wow thank you for the transparency! I’ve been looking at the zoom H6 for that specific reason. I have an idea for a channel so just getting my pieces together and always admire your audio being really clean and crisp. Definitely would love a video on this topic, shoot my notifications are ON! 😂Thanks for the reply.
@@malobeats I'm tryna figure it out. Works a bit different then I want it to like it does on maschine. Live(on the fly) swing adjust $$$$. If you figure that out on live please tag me with video. There's nothing on RUclips on it. Also a tip - it seems to work on song mode now and again. 👀
MALO, my brother.. I'm a year late to this video, and to be honest.. I've always been intimidated by the Grid, but you really showed me something. I'm gonna try it instead of trying to play swing drums on my own. I appreciate what you do for the community my brother, God bless!!🙏🏾✊🏾💚

Never knew this! I would do everything perfect and keep the same velocity on everything. But honestly doing one these 5 methods actually sound dope🔥
Yooo! Awesome delivery of presentation. Thanks for the clear and indepth tips. Keep up the great work!
Nice tips and tricks 👍🏽
Awesome video!
Is there a reason to why you don't show the swing function as a way to ad swing?
ONE LOVE! 🙏🏼
Dope video! Learned some different techniques!
Great vid
Thank you so much, brother. Really appreciate you taking the time to show your feedback.
Could you make a video touching on beat-making terms? swing fills, etc. I'm brand new and get lost with these terms.

Thank you coming from an MV the timing correct is a little too robotic and I've been trying to figure out how to make it work for me.
Dope video and beat as always!
so great my professor!!! i'm fucking in love with that sample and the way you chop it bro! perfect!!!
Awesome as always!

Malo when u mix your beats do u use the air compressor on your master for your whole beat ? Or do u use it on your whole drum program?
I hear you about chopping on kick and snares but not chopping on the beat and snares can sound interesting RE knxwledge Scrawberries mixtape

You can really push the kick later. 60-68 is my sweet spot. Snare and hats lower 50-55 earlier. It’s how i add swing to my beats.
Nice Beat Malo! Los Bukis? 😂
I believe this was from angeles negros (como la flor)
Mario thanks for sharing your tips and tricks, very useful as usual ;)
Do the mpc live 2 have more than 8 midi track? the mpc beats software only has 8
11:35 Is there a way to select multiple midi notes and drop the Velocity of them all at the same time?
Hey Brother, I believe you could go ahead and select all of the mini notes using your selector tool then hit the velocity/automation tap on your lower right hand side of the LCD screen, and go ahead and dial down the velocity which should affect all of the notes that are selected.
