The MPC Live 2 Should Get 2 Points For Travel, Only Because Not Only Is It Easy To Travel with On A Plane, You Can Pull It Out And Make Beats With It On The Spot... No Need To Plug It Into A Outlet.

I just bought the Keys 61 and i'm very happy with it, but if you have to do ANY kind of travel or if you like to make beats outside or anything i would go with the Live 2. I might still buy the Live 2 because i love the portability and the speakers. But for me the best bang for the buck is the keys 61 because of the keyboard and i don't need to travel.
live 2 all day! you can make beats on bed or on couch! :D for the mpc live 3 they should place the speakers left and right and add some keys on the bottom + plus more RAM and a newer cpu and a stronger battery pack and analog filters. for the new software update they should bring stems. that would be the perfect mpc! :P
Which mpc do I like the most ? The mpc 3000 for the sound , now for ease of use the x and couch potato beats the live ii lol loving the good content on your channel!
I don't have the Key61, but I have the One, Live II, and X. So with the licenses for the newer sounds like Fabric, OPx, Studio strings, keys...You never bumped into all your licenses are in use and you need to deactivate the plugins from one of them to use on something else? If you use the instruments as plugins on a computer with the MPC software it counts as a licence use. I use a laptop and desktop not my MPC one though it's still on 2.10. I guess for me I purchased the instruments separately and the Key61 just come with them, but I only get 4 licences for those instruments between desktop, laptop, X, live II.
I love your content CJ. I just subscribed and will be following future content. Thanks for sharing, and I also will be getting some of that fly merch too.
Hey yes, but not on the actual physical unit but touch fx works on the MPC x , just using the display and slide your finger to manipulate the fx and this is separate from the xyfx I’m speaking of.
@@CjFreeBeats yep. Thank you! Messed around with that yesterday. Maybe they can give you an option to control it with a Q Link in a future update so you can use the touch strip features along with the XY pad!
First of all, love your videos, love your delivery.. but I have a question, do you think having all the devices is cost efficient.. I have a live, but want a X.. but economically is it worth getting both.. now there's a key 61.. so im up on the fence... what's your thoughts..I'm coming from old school mpc 60
Hey thanks for watching, I appreciate ya! If it fits in your budget and you’re going to make use of them both then get them. Other than that just pick what you feel you will get the most use out of and matches your workflow. I like options so I bought options lol!! Hope that helps a little.
Nice video! :) I am thinking about either to sell my MPC-X and buy an MPC Key 61 instead, or to just add an MPC Key 61 and keeping the MPC-X. Or maybe I should keep the MPC-X and buy another keyboard. Or I just spend my money on buying other stuff like an APC40 MK II and Ableton Live Siute 12, because my MPC-X and my Yamaha MOX8 should do it aswell. It´s such a difficult decision. :D
Thanks for watching! I completely understand, I like to have options so I have something for however I feel like creating. Whatever you think is best for your workflow, buy it 😆 there’s no rules lol!
@@CjFreeBeats Thanks for answering. :) I bought the APC40 MK II. And I almost think that I´ll add the Ableton Push 3 and then make a break with buying new stuff.^^ Someday I´ll need to upgrade Ableton from LITE to a higher version. But first I have to learn how all the stuff works. :D
Nice Breakdown and setups (equipment) you have . I would not sell your keyboard . I almost sold my Yamaha Motif Es6 and I'm glad i did not sell it . I actually want to get all of those MPC'S , in due time.
Hey hey! Thanks for the love, been working on a lot of things. But I’ve been posting on my other RUclips channel (CJ Free Kits) and my Instagram (@cjfreebeats) so follow me on those as well! 🙏🏾🙏🏾
not to be nail in the foot but is that all redundant they are all the same. Now the Force is a different beast I sold my MPC one for the force now the key 61 will be my next buy but after that done

Hey thanks for watching 🙏🏾. Sometime people try to make you pick just one. I never understood that 😂😂
Dig seeing u doing ur thing…big ups…my favorite akai is the mpc x…the unit is incredible…✅
Hey thanks for watching! I love the MPC X too!!!
I’ve had them all and the sound card in the MPC Key 61 is the best on drums and bass.
Hey CJ great comp vid for those who’re considering hardware I have the Key 61 & Live 2 and have my eyes on the X probably for ‘23 for sure.✌🏾
Hey thanks, I appreciate ya 🙏🏾💯
Thanks for sharing. Much appreciated😊
No problem! Thanks for watching!!

I'm not a keyboard player but I agree the MPC Key 61 would be The most efficient hardware to work with. Great video
Thanks for watching 🙏🏾

Thank you, I appreciate you watching 🙏🏾💯
One had my favorite layout for workflow
Cool cool 😎! Thanks for watching 🙏🏾💯
live 2 all day! you can make beats on bed or on couch! :D
for the mpc live 3 they should place the speakers left and right and add some keys on the bottom + plus more RAM and a newer cpu and a stronger battery pack and analog filters. for the new software update they should bring stems. that would be the perfect mpc! :P
Love the Live 2 , can make beats anywhereeeee stupid dope! Thanks for watching 🙏🏾
I appreciate your video It helped me purchase my Akai MPCKEY61. I'm still learning how to use it but I'm glad I bought it.🤑💯🙏
Hey I'm glad I could help. Congrats on your new MPC Key!!! Thanks for watching!!

Nice Gear, Joining your Discord, Congrats on all you do!!!

yea I think you get 1 desktop license and 3 standalone. I would have to double check their website to be 100% sure on that.
I love your content CJ. I just subscribed and will be following future content. Thanks for sharing, and I also will be getting some of that fly merch too.
Thanks for subscribing, I appreciate ya 🙏🏾🙏🏾💯💯
Which one do you use the most?
God bless you sis, keep shining!🙏🏾✊🏾💚
Thank you 🙏🏾 I appreciate you watching.
Do you still have the Force? And how would you compare the Force to the 3 other machines mentioned?
Yes I still have the force. Too much info to compare the Force to MPC's in the comments. Thanks for watching!!
I'm team MPC One just starting out due to portability and price. What's your verdict on the Akai mini plus?
Hey thanks for watching. I haven’t had a chance to look at the Akai Mini Plus in depth. It looks cool tho.
Does the X have anything that you can use as a substitute for the touch strip on the key 61?
Hey yes, but not on the actual physical unit but touch fx works on the MPC x , just using the display and slide your finger to manipulate the fx and this is separate from the xyfx I’m speaking of.

Nice video. Helpful in making my decision.
Great to hear! thanks for watching!!
Love your energy loved the video I’m jealous I want a mpc and Roland fantom 0 series not sure if I get mpc keys or x or live dang.
Thanks for watching 🙏🏾💯
Perhaps you should try Op-1 for something different given that you have three similar instruments to switch up the redundancy
I have one of those. Haven’t used it much at all. Might have to sell it. But I feel like I shouldn’t give up on it
Sold my FA06 two years ago and missed it so much I bought it again....
That’s what’s up 🙌🏾. I love Roland keyboards I’ll always have one in my studio..
NICE video!
Thanks so much 🙏🏾💯

You a mess cj lol I feel you tho I’m hoping to get my hands on the mpc key 61 soon and ima do an mpc shoot out
Lol I just be having fun. You’re going to love the MPC Key 61. Congrats on that in advance 🙌🏾
Nice Breakdown and setups (equipment) you have . I would not sell your keyboard . I almost sold my Yamaha Motif Es6 and I'm glad i did not sell it . I actually want to get all of those MPC'S , in due time.
Hey thanks for watching, yea imma keep it 💯💯
I’ll buy it fragrance how much my queen

Hey hey! Thanks for the love, been working on a lot of things. But I’ve been posting on my other RUclips channel (CJ Free Kits) and my Instagram (@cjfreebeats) so follow me on those as well! 🙏🏾🙏🏾
vs Akai Force/Modx6+
not to be nail in the foot but is that all redundant they are all the same. Now the Force is a different beast I sold my MPC one for the force now the key 61 will be my next buy but after that done
Live 2 is the best MPC
Wud up Fam, imagine an Akai Force with 49 polyphonic aftertouch mini keys, 32 RGB 4x8 pads, 8 volume faders, 4g ram, 2tb ssd, with a battery. Bruh.
That would be dope 🔥💯💯
Pick one lol
You know the beautiful thing about her is she is a God fearing woman
