Thank you! 🙏🏾

[@Inhaleinhell]

Tips I didn't know I needed. Thank you. Much appreciated!

[@LukeLine]

The touchscreen drag top was amazing, did not think you could do that 🥹

[@matt-marque]

That layering tip at the very end is incredible. Literally had no idea, and it saves sooooooo much time.

[@jaemez3247]

that quixk track selection is so dope. Going to save me so much time

[@LiftedNoise]

🍻 glad it helps! 🙏

[@emmanouelsmith4288]

Those were excellent tips, thanks for sharing. It's always so fun learning new things on the MPC, almost daily!

[@LiftedNoise]

Thank you!!

[@b-loved6403]

Thanks chum!

[@LiftedNoise]

Ay no problem! 🙏

[@hostcharlestaylor]

MY GUYYYY. That last bonus tip of layering on the fly with shift and drag is the most underrated workflow improvement. I will take this with me for eternity. Thankyou, thankyou. also, been a minute since I've checked a video of yours. Glad to see your youtube game is steppin up! New mic and visual set - looks and sounds good botha

[@LiftedNoise]

SUP BRO! Been a minute. I've mostly been Streaming at super odd hours of the morning. Thanks for the good words on my video quality. Glad to hear it's improved from someone else's perspective. Glad you got a tip out of this. 🙏

[@micahe]

Appreciate your commitment. When will you start your SONGWRITING videos?

[@LiftedNoise]

Yo this comment means even more to me than that super thanks!!! Thank You for asking cause that's the direction I really want to go. I may be procrastinating cause I want to do it right, maybe a little hesitation there. But interesting cause I've been pulling up a few sessions with vocals so I can plan out a video. And my video setup is finally how I envisioned it so I can do this properly. Also invested in a better audio interface/preamp so I'm getting ready. No excuses now.

[@seapunk.mp3]

Thanks big dawg appreciate

[@johndillon92]

Gotta try these tips

[@LiftedNoise]

🙏 thanks for watching

[@markwhittaker6321]

Excellent stuff!!

[@awjaaa]

Holy crap! 2/4 of these are new to me, and will be used OFTEN! Thanks! Trade ya... my biggest tip, especially for those of us with fat fingers, is to grab a $3 fiber-tip stylus. Oh, MAN, have I been able to book in the step sequencer, now, using one of these. I got the kind with 6mm tip on one end and 5mm on the other, and the fiber cloth. The 5mm tip is PERfect.

[@deanisplemoni]

Damn, what sort of stylus we need man?

[@awjaaa]

@@deanisplemoni I just got the cheapest passive capacitive (no batteries) 5mm fiber tip kind. I got others, but these are cheapest and actually work better, so far. I got the more rubber/foam tip kind... Doesn't seem as accurate, but it's ok. I think it's a little less firm, is why. I got the active capacitive kind w/ smaller tip, but that needs constant charging, has a harder tip, and doesn't seem quite as accurate. They sell those with little clear "targeting" disks at the end that supposedly help them be more accurate. I didn't try those. Dunno. This 5mm plain jane fiber tip kind works great, for me, so far. And, heck, they're $3-4. Can't go wrong to test. I got four in a pack, and have one at the desk, one in the case, one in my pocket, and one to spare. I got the "Bargains Depot" brand, if that helps. It's the kind with the silvery cloth on the tips. @Lifted Noise, there's a video idea for ya. A comparison of stylus..es... stylii? I had some lying around, though. They can be costly for the active ones.

[@deanisplemoni]

@@awjaaa damn thanks for the heads up man! My fat ass fingers struggling with that touch screen as it is....

[@awjaaa]

@@deanisplemoni Right on. Hope this helps your workflow as much as it's helped mine. I know this box is supposed to be all about doing things and re-doing things, live. But, sometimes, ya still gotta hit that step editor and tweak. That was getting pretty clunky and slow for me.

[@azlanahmad6647]

Hey! No lag this time brotha! Nice job 👍🏽

[@LiftedNoise]

Well this was a video, not a stream. So no lag issues with just shooting videos.

[@kyngkai3942]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 video! I definitely learned some new things I'll add to the workflow and I also subbed ✅

[@LiftedNoise]

Glad you liked it! Thank You for the sub 🙏

[@fgirault]

Thank for sharing your great and valuable knowledge !

[@PeteOnTheBeat]

You,thank you! I've been wanting to leave the first 3 tracks to explode the drums,but most of the times I use way more (like 2 hats or something). My usual setup is 1 - Drums/2 - Sample/3- Extra Hats/4- Bass/ 5 - Extra sample. The template would be great,but since I've been always working like this, I kinda remember. Then I name them anw when I'm ready to start with the mutes

[@LiftedNoise]

Nice insight into your workflow. Thank You for sharing 🙏

[@NeilGuise]

Ooh that layers tip! Great stuff - thank you!

[@F_letc.h]

Nice tips. I just learned last night that if you want to delete a sample from the pool, you just long press it, and you’re given the option to delete.

[@LiftedNoise]

I did not know this I will have to try, thanks for the tip! 🙏

[@alishasparkle9532]

You’re the besssstt ayyyyee

[@handikillcam]

MUCH LOVE BRO

[@LiftedNoise]

😎🙏

[@deanisplemoni]

Thanks legend! Let's get to that 10k Subs!~

[@LiftedNoise]

Thank You! Next milestone!!!🙏🍻

[@dodgecitystudios3719]

💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

[@PoboyMusic]

Thanks for the tips. I just got one and like it so far especially for the mobility. I also have the force. The force matrix style (like ableton) is much more easy to navigate. I believe some people have got the force software running on the live. Anyways I'm having fun with this.

[@LiftedNoise]

Thanks for the comment 🙏 I have heard of that firmware hack. The force features look very compelling atm. Never was to interested before but those new features look nice!

[@GEUcompositions]

You have an awesome voice :) Do You sing?

[@LiftedNoise]

Not really sing too great but rap occasionally. There's a few videos on my channel under the rhythm and poetry playlist. Thanks for the compliment 🙏

[@edwardlewis650]

❤😂🎉

[@deanisplemoni]

Had NO idea that's how Sample Assign worked.....

[@LiftedNoise]

Never used it much myself until recently.

[@BreakbeatAuditor]

Template was such a game changer, but Akai should let you pick between a few different templates. There's so much unused space on the 'new track' page, I don't know why they don't give us room for maybe five templates to choose between.

[@LiftedNoise]

Definitely, more than one template would be a nice option. Could open up some more possibilities for sure.

[@linkinanalog1313]

how to play midi on control mode? cuz when I try to do it does not work, some how the CV is working but Midi is not working on control mode

[@LiftedNoise]

I'm a standalone user only. I can't help with that. Maybe someone else here can. I hope you figure it out.

[@bernardcasimir4966]

How do you remove a sample from the sample pool

[@LiftedNoise]

Press and hold the sample name. A Delete Sample option will pop up
