Great ! I would like a tutorial on how to finish a song and export it as audio and some tricks so that it has good sound quality !

[@MoneyTravelsUniversal]

I love the instrumental 🖤

[@antoniosampaio2466]

The best Akai tutorials. Thank you Douglas 👏👏👏👌👍

[@DSoundman]

Thanks!

[@mattdavids3357]

Thanks, this is gonna help me loads when I get back to my studio.🙂

[@JavierOrtizBorrego]

Thanks a lot for your time, you clear explanation, everything that you do helps beginners like me.... awesome video structure, and clear content

This is a great video Douglas. When I figured this same workflow on my Keys 61 my productivity pretty much doubled, like unlocking the "Easy" button. This part of the Akai MPC workflow is where the money is! As a Blocks user in Reason I found this more useful and love going DAWless to stay in the creative flow.

My man!! Thank you again!

[@8stringtvglobal292]

You do good my brother.

[@FacelessMusic]

Thank you so much for this wonderful explanation. I always enjoy watching your tutorials. You make it exciting and not wanting me to skip over the video and watch it all 😊

[@MCCDEMON]

[@yveshamm7677]

brilliant thx

[@chickenlickin3820]

Good Tutorial thanks kind sir!

[@ingofritzsche7737]

Oh man, I see your white keys are having different length to 🧐 I thought my instrument was the only one with that production bug. Don’t no what’s up to Akai Quality Control.. But sounds great and I try to experience all the functions, so thanks for your helpful videos on Yt.

Great video. I can't decide whether or not to buy the key 61 with all the extra sounds. The 37 is small and compact but I rather have more sounds and features.

[@gerryburns9232]

Same here although i just bought a second hand 61 for less than the price of the 37

[@konstantinh.722]

Hi, can you change directly the sequences (eg intro, verse) while playback or do you first have to define the order as shown on 11:55? Changing them directly would be similar to scene buttons of Yamaha MODX.

[@adamo220277]

Robisz super rzeczy :) Tylko tak dalej - pozdrowienia z polski:)

[@Shiv-jt4uw]

Thanks Soundman! I have a question….can I plug in my guitar, bass or vocals into the MPC37 to record my own instruments to overdub the sequences?

[@magnusjohansson295]

So easy!

[@youcancallme_nats]

Question! When you apply an effect to a sample, it applies to all the sequences that have that sample 😥 how do I apply the effect just to the sample in a specific sequence??

[@MateoLucas-pr2kq]

How do record the sounds of my guitar?

[@elviejonnumerouno]

Can you make a video how to divide the Akai key 61?

[@KevinIndio]

you teach way to fast and

[@jimbo121]

I'd already own this device if it wasn't this obnoxious looking red. Completely ruins it for me that I ordered a Live2 instead lol.

[@axelmaldini4218]

BS I can do the same with my daw controller and free plugins... 2 GB RAM... is this a joke ? AKAI 2024 !! 2 GB ? omg

[@yotrakz]

Options my friend options. That’s the beautiful thing about this life, our choices choose us. Stay inspired, make beautiful music.

Had to switch off To much like I’m watching rainbow. Talking to the public like we’re 10 and your bungle. IMO Watch someone like Tefty Music Tech, or anyone that doing well, they talk on a level to the public, this is more like being in a primary school. Compare back to back I’m not trying to be funny. It’s just so obvious I can’t watch it. As much as the info might be invaluable.
