Akai MPC Key 37 - Beginners Guide to Recording A Beat

[@enricoarmandola7566]

There are several MPC37 or 61 tutorials on YT but Dsoundman's are the most professional and understandable of all. A precious help to better understand all the potential of these fantastic products. Please continue again and again, we are hungry to know!

[@terrysmith7713]

Totally agree....Great for me who's new to the Mpc

[@antoniosampaio2466]

Very good tutorial 👌Thanks 👍

[@DSoundman]

Thanks!

[@rodneilson5831]

Thanks a lot for that, just bought a Keys 37 and this has helped a lot, I didn’t know where to start look forward to other vids

[@kyleb.7746]

Once again, another great video man! I'd love to get a tutorial on making a song the linear way you mentioned as well. That's the next big thing I want to try and tackle. Great work, and thank you!

[@juliosaldana332]

That was very helpful!

[@robbied2012]

Great tutorial fella. Mine comes tomorrow and cant wait to get started. I had a little play around with Reason and a midi keyboard many years ago and made a few basic tunes . This all in one system seems much more intuitive tbh . I have been a dj for many years so know that should stand me in good stead for arranging sequences and creating something acceptable (Eventually). Feel like a kid waiting for santa lol.

[@elmahrssi5789]

Merci beaucoup pour ta vidéo .

[@cliffl9669]

Thanks for the tutorial. Helped considerable with my new Mpc37✌️

[@JesseFragale]

very well explained.

[@cordialement4383]

Bro’s not kidding with that tutorial ! And remember guys, 96 is the good tempo 😊

[@f7oor]

This is how you make a tutorial. Thank you Douglas!!

[@Colzatronic]

Brilliant Tutorial !

[@jokerray]

Thank you for this very informative video which explains more of the functionality of this amazing production tool in the MPC Key 37! It was a treat to watch you move around with ease and confidence on what has been a struggle for me as a new owner as this is my first MPC instrument. I look forward to more videos like this from you and have a particular interest in breaking down recording vocals with effects and harmony as a producer artist.

[@AZacLife]

super helpful, thank you

[@jskaggs7]

THANK YOU!!! btw, Cool tracks you laid down on the fly. I look forward to you showing us how to put this all into a song arrangement using the AKAI MPC Key 37.

[@konstantinh.722]

Thanks for the video. So there will be no sequencer in MPC 3 anymore?

[@lazaruslaser]

I am Obviously a Newby... In the Manual , I could not even get how to get drums loaded... (Since You have to be in the Main Record Screen).. Your Tutorial was the First Time I Understood that Workflow !!!! Thankyou So Much for Your Sequencer Demonstration .. Looking Forward to the Song mode Tutorial.. Jerry

[@RutgerS.]

Great tutorial! Not only does it explain all the functionality very well, it also give some insight in the creative process. One question though: did you forget to quantize your kick, snare and hats or was that deliberately turned off? I saw that you wanted to turn on the quantization for the hats, but it wasn't actually on.

[@danbunge9787]

Thanks for the video. I feel that the drum track would sound more realistic if you triggered the open hi hat before or after the snare hit.

[@seregamelnik9381]

Thank you for this training

[@seregamelnik9381]

Would be nice to have a link to next lesson.

[@nicolasfish1825]

maybe add a de esser to low down those frecuencies maybe its just me but great video for my start on the mpc thanks so much

[@daroanvimusen]

very good tutorial ! What do you think about using a fader mixer like Korg nanokontrol or others? Because I think mixing with knobs is a bit strange

[@samuelbhinyani4550]

What sustain pedal are you using. I have necktar sustain pedal and bought this keyboard 2 weeks ago. Im runin 3.0? Sustain pedals is not working with this keyboard. What going on is it the beta version or just the keys?(i tried changing polarities and also have got no response from akai)

[@DSoundman]

I use a Yamaha FC4A with no issues. That said, I haven’t upgraded to BETA 3 yet, so not sure if that’s the issues you’re seeing.

[@producerboy29]

all those sounds build in

[@DSoundman]

Yes!

[@samuelbhinyani4550]

Are i able to show preference settings for sustain pedal?

[@DSoundman]

Unfortunately I can’t post a picture in the comments. I’ve never changed any settings though, I’ve always plugged my Yamaha FC4A sustain pedal in and it works fine every time.

[@kitetastic]

great vids and how to delete key37 expired triel sound packs ?

[@kosemoja8348]

Can I hook a midi drum up to this if you are not good at finger drumming using drum sticks instead of using your fingers

[@DSoundman]

You probably could via MIDI, but you may have to change the notes your drum pads are triggering or change where the drum sounds are assigned to notes in the MPC to get them to line up correctly. I’ve done this in the past with virtual drums and an electronic kit and it lined up perfectly, but not sure if that would be the case with the MPC.

[@M_E_T_R_O__9]

Sorry to ask such a simple question here, but can you simply just sample using this device, ie, plugin an audio source and capture it? Thanks

[@jaytonkash]

yes

[@akroasiswellnesstherapy8656]

Is this beauty suitable for live looping? Because i am between in getting a looper or this keyboard so i can also produce music. Can i do both with this one?

[@lazaruslaser]

It Has Looping on board

[@adamo220277]

Nice song …sounds like New Orders last released song “ be a rebel “.

[@ArntPetterAndersen]

[@DSoundman]

[@ArntPetterAndersen]

@@DSoundman Well - I bought it.... it's already on its way in the mail... 🤣

[@producerboy29]

Dope

[@samuelbhinyani4550]

I have downgrade and still no luck.

[@repentandknowjesus8674]

not quite my forte of music

[@derrickhoward594]

I have a question and a problem...I made a beat and somehow it got mixed up but I like the new beat too..is there anyway I can save the new beat without getting rid of the original beat???@Dsoundman?

[@DSoundman]

Yes! Do a “Save As” by holding shift and pressing on the Save/Save As button and then pick a place to put it. Or go into the menu and choose Save As instead of Save.
