slider thing..

Shame it cant run current gen games really well.

Honestly I’ve tried out action cams and DSLRs and all that but they take forever to turn on. By the time it’s running the moment is gone. With the iPhone it’s just so convenient. Though I’m holding off until the iPhone 16 gets announced in a few months.

People who aren’t professionals (if the image is framed right, etc.) cannot tell. Even professionals sometimes can’t tell the difference now with some shots, especially with prores raw. With 3rd party apps and editing, these phone cameras are extremely impressive.

Keep up the content brotha, your one of my favorite reviewers 🙏

I just ordered an OLED Deck, this video was very helpful. My tv (I got it almost two years ago) is also an LGC1. I agree it's the best tv I've ever had, first time seeing what an OLED screen is in person, amazing color accuracy, sharpness, clarity. OLED is literally what I always imagined tv could be in terms of display presentation, even more enjoyable for video gaming.

For a casual gamer who started playing video games using the Nintendo Famicom, Nintendo Super Famicom, Ps1, Ps2.. Steamdeck pulled me out of my gamer hibernation and I'm extremely overjoyed to be able to play retro games, triple AAA games. I know its gonna be a while before the Steamdeck 2 will come out, but I'm looking forward to it.

Can we have a comparison beetween that and the E-4?

My only wish is just a little more power. That’s the only thing that keeps me picking up my ally more than my deck is BG3 hogwarts legacy just running better. If I could just get the rog ally performance in a deck 2 be beyond happy.

Is steam deck oled better than new upcoming ally x?

The UGLIEST most unportable handheld EVER ✌🏾

Disagree, the Deck is one of the WORST handhelds EVER. PERIOD ✌🏾

I'm trying to decide between this or just buying NI and Ableton.

Do you plan on keeping or selling your ROG Ally?

If there are no competitors for this devices, and if people are willing to pay the 2k, then it isn't overpriced. You can say it is not worth the money, but if it were overpriced than no one would be buying and the supply would just sit.

Eh. Depends. Best handheld for retros, definitely. But for Triple A games, not so much.

hey dylan, i know you get this question a lot. but as someone who has the maschine +, do you vibe with MPC Live / One more these days than the maschine work flow? i know they're all different but maschine isn't doing it for me these days so looking at mpcs

Who are the bots that work for Asus commenting about the Ally on a Steam Deck video? 🧐

Today I just saw my first 100,000 organic plays so excited but I need to keep my head straight and maintain the momentum going, it's being hard 15 years.

This video title makes it sound like the MPC One is vintage or something lol It's only like 4 years old.

I had a journey with the new MPCs and I've landed on really enjoying the MPC One. I no longer see it as MPC vs. SP vs. Digitakt vs. Maschine Plus vs. Push 3, etc. I think each of these are all unique and useful for their own purposes, each having its strengths, with some pretty common areas of overlap between them all. This has helped with my GAS and also with always feeling like what I have is inadequate to make what I feel is meaningful music. That being said, I totally agree the value of a used MPC One is very high bang for the buck. P.s. How is your "theory" knowledge when it comes to making music? I'm just curious as to what your background is in regards to that.

Me too; €500 with a flight case included. Had an mc101 previous which i sold once I got the MPC. Just started up the learning curve but so far I think Its a wonderful machine and am looking forward to getting recording with it. Love the groove; not a million miles away from my own stuff, maybe a bit lighter.

I have the MPC one plus, this machine is so powerful… It is a no brainer to get the one or the one +.

Or half that for mpc 1000 with jjos. Which is what I did 😁

I think the low price for a box with so much packed into says a ton about the value of good UI. People are quick to say "oh the MPC workflow isn't for me" or similar, but the workflow is fine... the UI on the modern MPC series is just horrible. There are so many pages and hidden functions that people have to use constantly but are easy to forget exactly where that one thing might live. The very fact that converting chopped samples to a kit is a shift function, I mean... how many new users have been subjected to hours of youtube videos just to do the one thing the MPC was built for? Even watching this video we can see why the MPC breaks apart, it's those "uhh" moments where your brain just has to think about something other than the process of making music. This is coming from an MPC-One user, while it has the most bang for the buck, it's not a fun box. I find myself constantly reaching for my SP-404mkii over the MPC-One almost daily, or even an elektron box like the syntakt.

E X C E L L E N T- DYLAN!!! That beat is a hit! That guitar rig should come out at the end or at the Climax of the song!

Just copped one in mint condition for 300€. Samplers are pretty much the only thing you can find cheap in finland

Bad news: my stean deck finally died on me after years of faithful servie. Good news: i had enough money to get myself a new Oled :)

mpc one is the best, got everything it needs without the the distractions.

It'd be interesting to have your experience on this second hand buy compared to a new one : are paid plugins and extensions carried over ? Is it tied to the device or the user account? Did you factory reset it ? All the little practical details.

MPC is amazing if you like the workflow! It’s not for everyone!

Heck yeah it’s worth it. The One is amazing. I still don’t have one and I have no idea why. 😂

Good stuff. Still using my One-, I can’t seem to part with it, even after the + came out

If price not an issue, prefer push 3?

Nice to see the guitar out! :)

For years, I was scared the Vita was going to be the best handheld gaming console we’d ever see, then the Switch came out, and now I have the Deck OLED. Just wish I could play Honkai Star Rail and Wuthering Waves on it.

I have owned the Mpc live (OG) since it came out. Still works great. I did one of those make 30 beats in 30 days challenges and was able to find a way to make good quality music quickly. Over the last few years I’ve gone back to a daw setup w/ outboard gear… but at some point every year do go back and bang out some beats on the Mpc

What happened to the keys 37

Force user here- do you prefer the one or the force?

Oh yeah, I bought a used MPC One last year too. Barely used it. But a couple of weeks ago Roger Linn gave his approval for the new MPCs in a video on his channel. I've always found the MPC workflow and structure unnecessarily cumbersome but now that your video has also appeared in my feed I might just give it another chance.

nice tune

i followed recently and your content is amazing. keep it up! i don’t now much about gear but slowly getting there with vids like this so thanks dude :)!

The fact that this device isn't getting absolutely championed at the highest level is absurd to me. You're so right, it can do everything the X, X SE, the Live II and all the others can do, minus some memory and knob functionality on the UI. But as far as the guts and the capability of it, it's right there with anything out. I love the MPC One. I sold mine becuase I was strapped for cash, now I'm regretting it.

Cubasis 3 has midi learn function for midi controller shame on you Apple😂

if Akai would support 3rd party VST's that would be a game changer.

Easy

I feel the same way. The D2 solved all of the problems I had with the D1, but it’s a different set of problems! I sold my D1 due to the lack of real kits, the 8 track limit and no page looping. The D2 fixed all of this and so much more.

I think the most insane part is they have a bunch of videos named "(insert famous person) Type Beat"

This device has completely changed my life in the explosion of musical creativity it has given me. The ability to TRACK good sounding drums, synths, vocals including easy stereo stacking, PLUS recording via line input, PLUS a USB-C input/output to my iPhone, is fucking amazing. There’s practically no menu diving, it fits in my jacket pocket, has a 10-hour battery life, and looks amazing. This is fucking crazy amazing, and intuitive, and literally the best music device I’ve ever had - not because of specs, but because what it lets me do easily from anywhere. If you hate it… I’m not concerned w/defending it - but to those out there looking for feedback from people who use it - it’s truly, truly amazing.

Great vid. Can u give the link of the MPC + keyboard stand. Not the same as the one in the description. Thanks
