AKAI MPC LIVE II Using Loops Clip Program Explained!

[@gpr4eva]

Man people seemed to not be feeling the new MPCs when they 1st came out but after a few updates these bad boys are super super dope and are getting great reviews.

[@kiujay]

People’s “want to have it first” mind set over shadows, the knowledge that bugs need working out and “Updates” as you said. I waited til they worked out most. As I am waiting for Maschine+’s bugs and updates before I buy.

[@jonathansoko1085]

You should have been around when the mpc 1000 and 500 came out. Critics blasted it, while the "community" got the best out of them. Way back i did mpc 500 videos on an old channel of mine, people were eating it up once they saw what it could do. Similar case here.

[@CodySmiley]

Can't wait for these updates XD

[@Jonathan_Doe_]

Feels kinda like they were pushed to release it because the hardware was ready to go, but the programmers weren’t given enough time, people or resources to implement all the features they wanted to, or beta test it with users and get feedback before release. It’s such a common issue now, kinda like how console games used to come out done because they couldn’t really be updated once people had bought them, whereas now you buy a game and it ends up getting fixed for months.

[@777lando4]

Im about to order the MPC one this week. YOU alone convinced me to get into the workflow. Akai should thank you. Keep educating out here.

[@bkrackisback]

bro that joint easy as hell to get lost into. I'll suggest a splice membership also to really let you hit the ground running. I had mine since maybe july and I knockout maybe 3-5 beats a week. You gonna love it!

[@777lando4]

@@bkrackisback Thanks bro I'll put that on the list!!

[@davidfouse1820]

If i didn’t have to get my wife’s tooth fixed, I definitely would’ve invested this stimulus into a Live 2.

[@bkrackisback]

@@davidfouse1820 Def look into the one... does everything the live does... only thing missing is some inputs, the speakers, bluetooth, expandable storage, wifi, and the battery... well that is a lot of shit lol but though the MPC one is entry level priced it does all the shit the bigger models can do features wise. It's $800 vs $1400...

[@Csilk]

If you have a PC, MPC Beats (free software) and an MPK Mini II is cheap and can do everything that these standalone units can do.

[@thesnipecatcher116]

Man, I' just got a Live 2 and the workflow is so alien to me. I've watched so many crappy tutorials that were no help at all, but you explain things super clearly and helped me out of a jam. Thanks so much!

[@lamonttblackshire1638]

Bruh. This mug was one of a kind! You just changed my life. I’ve been a pro Ableton guy for a decade. This made production fun again for me!

[@acephalemagic]

Thank you! I swear you're reading my mail, every time I start digging into a part of the MPC you're right there with an amazing video.

[@AveMcree]

my pleasure

[@aaronthompson317]

I hadn’t played around in Clip Mode much until today. This video was great to get me started. Lots of fun for sure!

[@forsale313]

Boy Oh Boy, Learn something new every time I click on your videos. Thanks.

[@crystaltrees5mcs858]

I bought the mpc one to act like Ableton. I never heard of the force rul now. But I'm so grateful to your video because it's the only resource I've been able to find for using this mode properly.

[@redsilver8847]

You are one of the best mpc teacher. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Greetings from France 🇫🇷

[@TheOriginalEUrban]

Thank you for helping me figure out this rabbit hole of a machine.

[@BrandonWhalen]

Dude you are such a valuable resource to the community. Appreciate you.

[@auroranamex5886]

But can you do something similar but capturing midi data of your jam into the arranger?

[@SOO100BRAND]

Dope explanation. A feature i have never used or pay attention to. At this point i think im stuck in my ways chopping tiny pieces. Looks useful for live performance

[@astroidroach1873]

👌

[@ownone7759]

Used your videos for another problem, now solved. This is a community service and our listeners will also thank you 🙏🏾 high5Emoji

[@EarthquakeBeats]

Appreciate the knowledge fam. I had some dope cats using abelton and the clip feature was something they utilized just as you did it in the MPC. When I got my One +. Seen clips, I knew I had a MPC with Abelton qualities, all in one. Love your content my G! Respect ✊🏾

[@jayrueff5852]

Dude this was the best! I’ve been looking for a way to change up the workflow and incorporate loops without chopping them! Thank you so much for taking the time to show this. Mad love dude 🤘

[@tyforsberg88]

Im confused about the bpm changes in this vid. Why is the clip going faster by slowing the bpm down? And why are the loops in sync at diff tempos ? (68 and 74 bpm) Thanks for this video, and your time!

[@413XF]

you're a great teacher! This is going to be useful for when i sample my buddy playing guitar. I've been sequencing them on a drum program but this way seems like it will up my workflow and creative potential

[@oddlyonlyjack9560]

This helps out so much dude. Your videos continue to teach me what is possible with the MPC

[@RhymePractice]

Main page Track 01>Transpose set to 1. Program 001>Warp samples> Global tab>note on. Samples tab>pad loop on. For different drum loops, I include them in the same mute group to alternate back and forth.

[@trevormalcolm4328]

Yep! Now you talking. 👍🏽🙏🏽🇬🇧

[@hollowtown58]

dude thank you so much you dont know how much of a god send this video was!

[@herb39hs]

This was a good tutorial but still confused about it I guess I have to first keep at to get more familiar with MPC production but thanks ave🙏wouldn't know shit about MPC without you bro 💯⚜

[@RoeJogan]

subscribed! Love your channel... super helpful ... Your attitude is amazing

[@dtfluker1617]

Bro work hard at the tutorial!!

[@a_magnificent90]

I never use the clip program before but after this imma try it. Seems a good option for performance of finger drumming

[@hotel_yugoslavia]

Really useful mate, cheers! Also, u r the best tutor/reviewer on youtube. Love the honesty and everthing.

[@AveMcree]

thanks

[@ezskreet]

Good video but my live 2 doesn’t do that. If I load a clip it only plays a portion of the samples loop. Thanks

[@MartianSound]

You have taught me so much - Really appreciate your videos. I literally just thought I never use clip mode - I wonder if Ave has a tutorial: Boom - there it is

[@MediaMusik777]

speaking of 69 .....what do you think about this expansion slo mo trap & ambient lows mpc expansion...01:41

[@marcellholmes5073]

Man I appreciate all you do...Im still learning aspects of this gear. You video is Super Informative please keep sharing the knowledge.

[@Hoodie_Tello202]

I’ll try it for sure

[@EricHicks]

Very nice video, I've never used clips but this video has helped me learn something new for my toolbag.

[@SpaceAgente]

thank you so much for this. i've had my live2 for months and for whatever reason i've never used clips mode. not sure why. psyched it try it out now.

[@illustrate2000]

I'm kinda new to the mpc , but shouldn't all the bpm's be the same as the bpm on the sequence on the main screen?

[@manueltritri1524]

Keep up the good work bro, always enjoyinnnn your videos

[@damcan3874]

Thank you for this. i'm a beginner. You're explanations are very clear and very helpful. Subbed and already purchase your recommended Lords of Phonk, etc...

[@patberry3388]

Trying to figure out how many loops the One and Live II come with? I only want to do loop programming.

[@thesesmallboxes]

Excellent content! Sub’ed

[@FlatWHDF]

Lord infamous vibes!! 🙏🏾

[@floydadams1119]

Thanks Ave, a clear tutorial. I need to do this live using a drumKat. Thank you 🙏🏽

[@SMEL]

Cool stuff... looking forward to some switch up inspiration with my MPC One, which is on back order (lol)!

[@NickFromNetherlands]

clip mode in program can also be used.

[@joeboubert1517]

Thank you for this video. Do you have a strategy on how to play patches on MPC Key while being on clip program without messing up anything? I would like to keep the assigned pad stable when I change patches so I can perform live and freely switch rythm sample from the pads while soloing. Is there a way to deactivate the keys from triggering the samples? Please help!!!!🙏🏼

[@starstrukmg760]

How can I transpose a sample up or down without changing the tempo?

[@sk8tb1]

Bro!! How the hell do I sync a sample to the beat of another sample . I’ve been trying to do it on trim but it keeps shedding shit or doing shit I don’t want it to do like running. It’s easier on a turntable cuss you only have to use the pitch slide

[@MikePTT]

Same here 😖

[@ludekkolenaty2209]

excellent help. thank you for my better understandig my Live II!👍

[@giovannicampos3534]

I was messing around on the Track View and hit Solo on my track with the Clips. After undoing the Solo, my Clips program has no volume. When I hit Play or when tapping the pads. Any idea on how to fix it?

[@Audubon_analog]

Great post , thanks! Is it possible to play multiple loops at the same time or are they only sequential ?

[@vshell7673]

Shopping with you for sure...thanks again for sharing your skills with the earth 🌎🎵🎶🎼

[@newday8545]

Hey whats going on man. This is off topic and i feel like your one of the only people that can answer this question. Yo how do i sync the arp in microfreak to the mpc one. when i set the midi channel it just plays a couple of notes then stops. how can i get it to sync properly to play continuous so i can record a sequence on the mpc. ive been racking my brain to get the hardware settings right. Thank you so much in advance. Much respect for your tutorials theyve helped alot, brother. peace!

[@funkee10]

simple and clear, thanks for that

[@cbanks7840]

Thank you! I appreciate you. Bought Phonk Drum kit today.

[@robertroach7807]

thanks for the video my brother, I like to know about using the mpc live and the force midi sync together for more tracks and instruments, without my laptop work flow. Can it be done and the best way to do it. Thanks for listening.

[@2beablessing2012]

in software you can WARP LIKE ABLETON BY PRESSING ctrl while in audio track

[@poeticgeenetikstv4672]

So Ave, what do you do to get them all in the same key?

[@frankiepcastle]

You're a Beast famo.. Loving the info.. Just learn something new... thanks..

[@BigChiefPrinceVision]

Dope bro, im enjoying these videos, especially now i have a mpc one, much appreciated.. Oh bro do you mind doing a video of sync the maschine and mpc together, i still have my mk3

[@davidfouse1820]

Definitely gonna cop this pack tonight.

[@aunmaspobre]

great video! super useful and detailed, keep on man!

[@robertfimbres9628]

Hey Ave thanks for this info! I’m wondering about the part at about 9:50 where you changed the bars on that loop from 5 to 3 and “halved” it, what part was halved? was that loop supposed to only half play through before looping again? I didn’t really hear a difference but maybe I misunderstood what changing the amount of bars in that loop was supposed to do. Great video and thanks again

[@LUCKYMONKEY230]

I second that question :)

[@Notea2]

Thanks for great knowledgeable video so how to quick pad settings to stop previous sample right away to go to next pad & next sample because it comes previous pad stop after complete one bar play please reply Thanks GOD BLESS YOU ❤❤❤❤❤

[@88keyz]

Learned a lot more about clips thanks much appreciated

[@Arpi_RND]

thanks for the video🤜🤛very useful 👌

[@stephenson_benjamin]

Awesome Bro Keep Up The Good Work

[@mrmugabi1498]

I wish they souped up the BPM detection

[@laurencebell963]

Man thank you... again and again!!!

[@J.Quinn901]

Can you make a video about looping recorded samples! I sampled an old school song ,but can’t get it to loop perfectly. It’s either a silent pause or it doesn’t transition well back to the beginning.

[@413XF]

This would be helpful! I pulled a great sample the other day, it's like a slow ambient jazz melody and it's kind of hard to get it to fit perfectly because the bmp changes slightly. So I experimented by chopping it by bar and warping each sample individually, instead of keeping it a 4 bar loop, and it seemed to workout ok. But yeah, I would love a more advanced tutorial on this when creating my own loops, particularly in a challenging situation.

[@CodySmiley]

MPC is a simple sampler. Use ableton for advanced warping and looping.

[@J.Quinn901]

@@CodySmiley thank you!

[@Chinese420Charlie]

Crazy I didn’t think I would use it

[@jyoungspins2200]

I've got the MPC Live and I had a question about taking a slow song or an acapella of a slow song and matching it to a 120 BPM - where the vocals won't sound like Alvin and the Chipmunks LOL

[@micindir4213]

Clip mode is awesome! But I'm struggling here with memory limit. I've uploaded stems to mpc (6 tracks) and it ate up 80% of ram and I still have songs to load. I was thinking to crop clips into small chunks (Fortunately music is very repetitive), but I cannot crop loop into separate sample within clip menu and when I do sample edit, it works in absolute time and not bpm.

[@Jonathan_Doe_]

You mean stems the full length of a song? It’s not really meant for that, it only has 2gb of ram. You’d be better off midi syncing a laptop with ableton to your MPC and having ableton play the stems and running the MPC for more MPC stuff.

[@troywoodruff3682]

This was dope bruh

[@nap41123]

Don’t they have an Expansion for it?

[@ramseymodiri2752]

Is there a way to record right to the clips. Like a guitar ?

[@robertfimbres9628]

Unfortunately no

[@neil2773]

Is there an extension you can buy to be able to play the samples with your foot- like a pedal. I’m trying to play MPC at the same time as playing guitar

[@scottstowinsky8712]

Nice. Good video 🔥

[@vshell7673]

What's happening DJ Ave...how do you order the lords of phone? Thx.

[@khannakkbahr5644]

Yo' Ave, does the MPC touch have the same os as the ONE,Live and X or is the touch just the replacement for the studio but with a touchscreen ?

[@vazfinestdjchozin1599]

Excellent beat once again. Thanks Ave

[@jaykiass]

Amazing

[@chrischris05]

Is there a way to change the playback mode with the clips? I see that all clips start again when triggered. Is it possible it keeps playing when it's not triggered and play it where the playhead's at?

[@SamBartBell]

🙏🙏🙏

[@maikelmaes6130]

great vids! will give this a spin!

[@dmtr5554]

Hey Avee, can you show how i can stop samples from overplaying each other in mpc beats? Cant find anything in the internet...

[@AveMcree]

did several videos about that

[@agostineproductions2940]

Is there a way to delete samples off your SD card with and without a computer? Ps. Your videos are awesome.
