AKAI MPC Live II Retro Edition Unboxing

[@CourtneyHawkins]

This is not a sponsored video, well sponsored by my day job. I purchased this AKAI MPC Live II Retro Edition from American Music Supply. I believe you can also get it from zZounds as well. I wanted something a little more portable than the Maschine Plus, but I still use Maschine daily so don't worry. I'm just trying to expand my producer skill set. I'm unfamiliar with AKAI workflow, I may do some videos showing my progress if that's something you all would be interested in. Anyway, enough rambling. THANK YOU FOR 20K!!! What a wild ride.

Nice Courtney! Looking forward to see the progress! Keep up the awesome work and congrats on 20K 🔥👊🏻

[@CourtneyHawkins]

@@BoombapArt thank you homie!

[@JAdeWii_]

I was just thinking the same thing lol that speaker and battery 👀 congrats on 20k!

[@CourtneyHawkins]

@@JAdeWii_ ha right? I couldn’t resist and thank you!!! 💙

[@MrBrianms]

Nice Hi-Fi build quality. Left me wanting more. Love to hear you play it. Thanks.

[@BeauTylerMakesMusic]

Maybe it’s just because you put it into my head with the ASMR hashtag, but this was incredibly satisfying. I hope you made the Maschine cover it’s eyes, though. This would have been torture for it to watch. Lol

[@lindasson]

Congratulations on the Retro Edition!! I had the MPC Live, and wasn't going to upgrade to the One or Live 2 until I saw the Retro Edition lol! Got mine as a personal Christmas gift, and I absolutely love it! Looking forward to seeing you cook some beats on it!!🙏🏾✊🏾🔥🔥🔥

[@CourtneyHawkins]

Haha I said, let me treat myself real quick.

Unboxing ASMR, best ASMR.

[@CourtneyHawkins]

I thought so too!

[@nanomiya790]

those colors reminded me of the old Nintendo SNES Console in 90's.

[@philpower_]

Man oh man, this was enjoyable. Now I gotta get me one of those

[@CourtneyHawkins]

I held out for awhile, but I’m glad I got this one.

I never knew unboxing a product could look so sensual

[@tikishark1]

Really great unboxing Cortney. Love the retro vibe. Can’t wait to see what you create with it. Perhaps a tutorial? 😀.

[@CourtneyHawkins]

Yes! Tutorials are coming.

[@thundersnow819]

Sometimes, I repack mine so I can feel like a stage hand again and unbox for fun.

[@RyanNamTV]

Will this work with Logic Pro X?

[@ajibanez6837]

Are the transport buttons like soft cushions with click or are they like hard suede that clicks?

[@woodgrainproductions]

Watch out she's got a knife

[@mariosandoval1236]

she is so pretty

[@woodgrainproductions]

Hey Courtney, I sent you that email with the track-stems for the lo-fi beat I was working on. I hope you like it and I am looking forward to possibly collaborating with you.

[@annaosumedia]

What do you think about the MPC live 2? Is it better worse or same as Maschine plus?

[@bitspacemusic]

Is that a printed manual with several pages? Akai, tell me more.

[@danielwhetstone5632]

Are the play buttons plastic or rubber?

[@CourtneyHawkins]

Rubber

[@tempmode37]

to me it looks like the older mpc3000 wowWOW

[@BeatsIndigo20]

That blade? LINK PLEASE

[@CourtneyHawkins]

It's been discontinued but I also have this knife and it also has the assisted spring feature amzn.to/3wYpFhd

[@d3vyl241]

Das Unboxing ist in die Länge gezogen, die Verpackung wird mehr präsentiert, schade

[@JohnDoe-cr7kn]

strange at max that brown paper only at front cover. I mean, the f**k sake? xDD

[@jeromehankins1391]

Sub with bell. I ordered mine today from AMS as well.
