2025 AKAI MPC DOES NOT COMPARE TO FL STUDIO

I highly recommend to start making music on Fl Studio and not a MPC.

Been creating off and on for years. Struggled to find a workflow that clicked with me. Tried FL, Live, Machine, Elektron.. I put off getting an MPC for a long time. Finally got one of the modern MPC’s (specifically X SE) and it changed my life. I felt at home after one night of use. Yeah, you can do more with any DAW, but that is the issue. I don’t want 100 options all the time. I just want 10 solid ones that I can master and depend on and cultivate my sound. Also, I don’t think focusing on the speed of creating is an approach I would take for myself. I like to take my time because I love creating. Finally, I will never feel creative using a mouse. A computer mouse is for spreadsheets and word documents.

[@supastylez]

@mgband good points! I understand your point of views. Whatever workflow works best for you. I remember back in the day people made fun of FL Studio and said you weren’t a real producer if you used it. I guess they are still people that feel this way till this day and that’s fine. I have been a user of both with me I really just prefer FL Studio. One thing I will say the MPC is great for chopping samples. I enjoyed using it. Also taking the quantization of the percussion and hi hats was something I did alot.

[@boomboombaby9140]

Same I came from fl and got an mpc one plus . All the sound packs that I used in fl that I thought was weak sounds high quality on the mpc . I have to do work to get the quality of sounds in fl that the mpc naturally puts out . Everyone that came from fl to mpc says the mpc workflow is faster but this guy is saying it’s the opposite. Lol the mpc is faster it’s like a beatbox workflow .

[@supastylez]

I guess to each its own! Lol I use to use a MPC for many years everyone has their opinions

[@beats4hire1]

Mpcx work flow is ez. And fast no looking back

[@supastylez]

glad it’s working out for you 🙏🏾

[@chosenonebeats]

This is not comparing apples to apples. FL is a DAW digital audio workstation. Most DAWs are similar with the ability to add in all the plugins you can. MPC is a music production center with a narrow focus on just producing with its own set of tools. With that being said yes it’ll be easier for a beginner to grasp production on a DAW because they can start by just dragging and dropping in loops. But if you want to chop up samples and play around with different combinations then MPC is it. P.S. it’s never the gear it’s the person behind it.

[@supastylez]

I agree!! I think the MPC is the best for chopping samples but putting the overall beat together I got to go with FL Studio

[@GarantiaGarantia-l7n]

Excellent video, I love it

[@supastylez]

Thank you

[@XBASS247]

Wat wat wat i would not fart on fruity loops My mpc is the brain to everything You cAn not compare Its not limited dude Take it from me long time cubase user

[@supastylez]

Got it! I totally understand I use to me a Mpc user years ago until I made the switch.

[@GarantiaGarantia-l7n]

He's very explicit , good job

[@supastylez]

Thank you

[@Fleebee.]

MPC has a step sequencer and a piano roll. This is an outdated take

[@supastylez]

I get where you’re coming from I know the new MPC’s come with new features but to create an overall beat completely in a MPC it’s very time-consuming I could be wrong most MPC users I know track out the stems into a daw

[@Mill-on-da-track]

I feel where you're coming from I grew up on Fruity Loops and now I use both FL and the MPC Live 2. I think before you made this video you should've spent time with the new gen MPCs because once you learn them you can navigate and make your beats just as fast and do everything you named about FL studio right in these new MPCs especially with this new 3.0 update with general ease. Now I agree Id point a new user to FL studio first it really is easier and more accessible and most probably already have a computer or desktop lying around, but these new gen mpcs (Live, X, Key 61/37) have really good workflows and they are not the headache that the old MPCs were, Hell some people are complaining that the new update makes the mpcs too much like a daw. I work on both It just depends on how im feeling at the time, switching workflows sometimes helps when I start having beat block. FL studio is amazing and out of all the DAWS i've learned (FL, Ableton, Logic, Studio one) in my opinion FL is the best and most user friendly to make beats on. With that being said the new gen MPCs are great I can make music just as fast as a daw on them, the problem is most don't take the time to really learn them inside and out and thats why you got a bunch of people just making stems and putting them in a daw anyway not knowing there is an easy way to arrange full beats on the mpc, and the new update makes it even easier to arrange almost in the same was as a daw.

[@supastylez]

Good points

[@khari3133]

I been using Fl since i started making beats in 2012, In 2021 I bought a MPC and the workflow was a nightmare It took me so long to get use to It , I sold it instantly, I do think the MPC sounds better that's the only thing thats good about it

[@supastylez]

I had the same issue until I learn how to make my sounds hit hard like the MPC. Long as you learn how to mix and eq your good

[@mont-doggBeats]

Both. Mpc software is a groovebox/virtual drum machine that works inside any daw..can’t do no mouse clicking beat creation..I save the mouse clicking for arrangement , gain staging and light mixing

[@supastylez]

Thats a good point! Never thought of it in that point of view 💎

[@thebl8nlyblatantnetwork]

I dig it but as a fl studio full time user the mpc is not as limited now only thing fl has the advantage is the vsts and pluggins and its cheaper than buying a mpc … if yall thinking Bout getting a mpc get the key 47 … its everything in one place … and I have the live 2 just got the key 37 thats if yall want hardware

[@supastylez]

Vst plugins and unlimited ways to manipulate a sound. I agree some people prefer hardware

[@thebl8nlyblatantnetwork]

@ facts my favorite plugins would never be ln hardware 🤣🤣🤣 a drum machine to do that they charging high end gaming pc prices 🤣

[@supastylez]

@@thebl8nlyblatantnetwork I feel limited when it comes to creating a full track on a MPC now you can track it out all the stems into a daw, but if we’re talking about doing everything on the MPC, it’s definitely time-consuming

[@GarantiaGarantia-l7n]

The more I listen to this explanation, the more I like it

[@wadewilliams1892]

Music wasn't meant to be made with a mouse and tiny arrow 😂😂😂 just joking - whatever you want

[@supastylez]

I understand most prefer to press the pads. I personally create the drum pattern in my head or hum it out then put it on the pattern the same way I hear it

[@wadewilliams1892]

@ however produces comfortable results..good video!

[@supastylez]

I always say this no matter what you use how you use it all that matters is how it sounds 💎

[@wadewilliams1892]

@ winners mentality

[@supastylez]

@wadewilliams1892 true indeed bro

[@hovabeatsnyc]

Are you guys getting paid to be so negative or is it a passion for you? Everyday its a new nothing to complain about the MPC instead of trying to learn it and work within the limitation...

[@supastylez]

Just passion and my opinion thats all.

[@hovabeatsnyc]

@@supastylez You right so let me take that back but its disheartening seeing so many people bashing the MPC or putting one over the other when it all comes down to the person using it and putting in the time to learn their DAW

[@supastylez]

@hovabeatsnyc very true I used to be a MPC fanatic it’s just my opinion that’s all I still like MPC’s and they’re great for chopping samples. With FL Studio, I can do so much more most MPC users I know track out the stems into a daw.

[@hovabeatsnyc]

@@supastylez I was planning on trying out FL this year so hopefully I can get a few tips from you in the near future. Again my bad for saying that on your post I'm a new MPC user so I rather see what I can do rather than hearing what I can't.

[@supastylez]

@hovabeatsnyc thats cool! Yeah you can always reach out for tips on FL Studio.

[@rhondofromjersey9709]

Clearly haven’t used in years lol. Theres is nothing better than MPC 3.0. You can do all that shit in 2 seconds on MPC live 2

[@supastylez]

@@rhondofromjersey9709 nice I have to look into it and check it out. The workflow is so easy for me on FL Studio.

[@rhondofromjersey9709]

@@supastylez always feel like one of the things that takes producers a long time to make a beat is that they don’t make templates. My MPC template has 600 drums to start. I never have to menu dive. Couldn’t do that in FL. Unless your computer is the size of a mini van.

[@supastylez]

@ smart man and yes, you can also do that with FL Studio I use different templates 600 sounds as a template. You can most definitely do that on FL Studio.

[@supastylez]

@ what genre of music are you creating?

[@supastylez]

@ with FL studio you can most certainly use templates. I use them all the time. You can load as many sounds as you want on your template. 600 sounds what type of genre of music are you creating?

[@dsmooth-pc8ik]

that what talk about

[@supastylez]

Salute

[@boomboombaby9140]

Bro it sounds like you never learned how to work an mpc because I used fl for over 12 years and the mpc is much faster

[@supastylez]

@@boomboombaby9140 I got album placements on the MPC lol I learned how to use it well. In the video the main summary of it was, if you’re starting off to make beats, you should start on FL studio because on the MPC it would be much harder to learn but I get what you’re coming from your mpc user so in your case you feel different all subjective at the end of the day

[@supastylez]

@@boomboombaby9140 I guess for you a MPC is much faster but for me it’s not just saying my opinion that’s all.

[@boomboombaby9140]

@@supastylez bro fl way harder to learn than Mpc . Like you said you had to learn how to get your drums to hit like on the Mpc . It was a cumbersome process to get my beat to sound high quality and crips on fl as on the Mpc . I produce with my brother MakaveliNthis I bought a bmw 745 li from selling beats. We produce for mainstream hip hop , r&b artists and K-pop artists.

[@supastylez]

The trick is the boost knob lol on the drums to make them hit harder simple knob on fl studio. You perfer a MPC over Fl studio and thats cool everyone has their own preference I remember tracking out stems on a mpc use to a pain but I know now it’s much easier Let me ask you this do you track out ur mpc stems into a DAW to complete the full beat?

[@boomboombaby9140]

@ I complete my track out in the mpc software some engineers say that they don’t need them because the beat sounds radio ready.

[@BassHeadT3]

This is a terrible take. I started on FL 5. I Have 10/11/12 & 20. I bought a MPC Ren in 2018 and i just got the Key 37 last week. Literally everything you said you can’t do on the mpc, you can. You said you can’t type in the search browser, you can. I know how long it takes to make trap hihat pattern in FL it takes half the time on a MPC. You said you can’t do fx. They literally have Q-Links for any parameter. Unless you talking about a MPC 60. This is not a valid take.

[@supastylez]

I hear what ur saying I guess the new mpc’s are probably way better this message was clearly to someone who wanted to start making beats
