AKAI MPC ONE - How To Chop Samples Like A Pro [Beginner Tutorial]

A tutorial video about how to sample into the AKAI MPC ONE like a pro. I show you this process step by step. This is a great starting point for all beginners not familiar with these options. You can do this exact same process on the MPC Live and X. I go over how to record, trim, chop, laying down drums, and time stretching. Tell me how you feel about this video? Leave a comment below!

[@RaskolnikovR]

appreciate that you are showing potential errors, like forgetting the monitoring button or having too high threshold , very useful

[@riddim7774]

Yup, took me a few minutes to even see the monitor icon. 🤣🤣🤣

[@DJREZEREKT]

Yup... But that's because he really made the mistake live and figured he'd show you it lol

[@vancozzin8998]

I just discovered, that if you use the “PRO TEN” option for the Audio Warp Algorithm, instead of the “LEAST CPU”, audio samples sound a lot better when you slow them down or speed them up. Learning this machine is like taking a college course...lol.

[@trenn10]

thank you so much for that

[@htctalker983]

Can you explain this any further pls?

It is totally massive to learn, but if you are patient and give it time, it’s so damn great.

This video is gold, I just got my MPC One in February and this guy literally taught me everything! Watched all his MPC One videos And now im here making hits with artists and also teaching my friends how to use it! Thanks for the tips Keep doing you my guy

[@newday8545]

Some of the most professional tutorials on the Tube. I love that you get straight to the point with no egoic filler and misleading captions for your vids. Respect, homie!

[@ZombCity]

Ave if you hit shift in sample edit and click 0 snap it helps with avoiding the pops in samples. If you didn’t know 💪🏽

[@AveMcree]

thanks fam

[@MakingMadBeats]

Is there a way in sample edit to mark just a small portion of the sample to do fade ins and outs to get rid of clicks and pops like on Maschine?

[@antonychigurh8939]

MakingMadBeats yeah, you bring the front barrier of the sample towards the end as if you’re editing everything out; you click process, and then fade out. Next bring the front barrier back to it’s original position and you’re gucci.

[@triplelstudios9375]

@@antonychigurh8939 what are you guys talking about I’m confused

[@syberiansion4947]

Pops in sample are created by a start or end point not finishing on exact line point

[@straightedge_eli2062]

Bro this has been the best video I've ever experienced on KZbin. You have been so helpful and the video was exactly what I was needing to get me to my next challenge with my MPC. I appreciate your time and dedication. Mad respect for the work you've put never the entire time of your career and to be able to share the love . What a tremendous honor. Thank you..

[@loafybeets2576]

I just picked up my MPC ONE a few days ago and this was, hands down, the best tutorial I've watched so far (of probably 50 vids). Great pace, clear details, and didn't leave me scratching my head about what you had just done. Can't wait to check out what else you have!

[@Shahmar]

How's it goin a year later bruh?

[@kingr.a.4067]

I have an MPC One+ (first MPC ever as i am hobbyist in music production) and your videos have been quite informative. I have learned a lot about the many functions of the MPC. Keep up the great work.

[@kennedyjones4039]

Just picked one up to accompany my bass playing. Your vids have helped me get started making my own beats so that I can create my own bass lines and more. Appreciate you and keep making dope tutorials.

[@BIGMIKE360AMUSEMENTS]

Thanks again for your tutelage! I have the MPC ONE PLUS AND BASICALLY THEY WORK THE SAME FOR ME. Decades ago I was messing around with the older MPC’s and now I feel like doing music again.

[@HurricaneRonnie]

Man I'm loving my MPC One...Ive always wanted one since 97 when I first saw an mpg 2000 and Too Short talked about it on his albums...by the time I finally buy one its the MPC one. thanks so much for the lessons and videos. The videos been helping me learn and and get the hang of the mpc.

[@thomasdannegger]

Just picked up a used MPC One after having seen talented producers like you work their magic. This was the best rundown on how to get started. Many thanks for sharing!

[@BecauseLiberty]

"shift and convert" man that just saved me TONS of time. There's a much slower and inefficient way to do this, lol. Thank you.

[@robysanto2761]

[@wulyf4lyf]

Great video! I’ve been trying to get familiar with mine, and this vid definitely helped. Haven’t had an MPC in 20 years, and have been trying to get better with the OP-1, and a few other synths. Love the One, though. Not crazy about the drum sounds on my DB Impact, OP-1 drums sound like tin, but the One is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!

Hey Sir, just wanna say thank you for sharing your knowledge on this powerful instrument.

[@bigtiredkeith]

Good tips! Just getting started with mine and found a few things I was doing wrong or at least inefficiently.

[@Fairlight2cx]

Well, if you're looking for ideas, here's what I need to do right now... I have a reference track for a song I want to cover. It can load that off SD card. What I want to do is two-fold: 1) use it as an audio track so I'm laying my stuff over the reference track until I no longer need it on (I know how to do that with an audio track), but 2) and this is the part I don't know: how to take that *same* sample, and slice out several elements of the percussion to take them as samples, save those samples separately, to the point I can assign them into a drum program on pads. That's the part I don't know how to do, is slice & dice to get just the parts I need, and save only those parts for re-use. You do good videos, man. Very helpful for someone who just got the unit!

[@0800caribou]

Perfect, me too. Am a few weeks in and thats my drama right now... 🙄

thnx dude. this machine was a little daunting at first. you've helped a great deal. rock awn barutha!

Fantastico! VERY helpful. Thank you. Subscribed.

[@BkBangatv]

Dope. have you tried pad parameters instead of non destructive ? it allows you to make adjustments to individual pads opposed to the entire program. and the warp was not on or engaged that's why it sounded that way. you have to go in and manually select warp. 14:07 try that out incase you haven't figured that part as yet. #KeepBangin! Peace!

[@BkBangatv]

Also Select all so it warps the entire program. or hold down shit+ tap pads a1,a2,a3,etc for multiple. Peace
