I’ve been watching all your vids on the mpc one. It’s been slowly shining the light on the process but waaayy faster than it would’ve took me on my own! Much appreciated!

[@rickbustamante]

Dude, you have seriously saved me SO much time, I'm only on my 4th day and keep referring back to find shit out, you are a LIFESAVER brother! I've just been able to load my original sounds and make a kit, save it, make a beat, save it, all on my SD card, thanks so much, your the best man, peace...

[@richardharmon9596]

Love all your videos . Trying to find one that shows me how to record a wave sound or two and also find a drum kit and build a sequence recording. For the MPC Live 2

[@lesking9972]

I don't have one yet but thanks for the vid. Makes my decision just that much easier.

[@tolookatyou]

Awesome video. Thank you!

[@emeraldmorrell]

Thank you very much. Very helpful ❤

[@morrisman64]

Thanks very helpful.

[@thelantern9075]

What would be cool is if you did a video auditioning the included sounds, like different drum kits, samples, etc. to give folks an idea what the machine ships like. Nice video btw.

[@natanunorthodox]

Hey Ave, these videos are so important brother. Your really helping me understand the MPC One workflow. I appreciate it alot...SBN RESONATE

[@pdiggz2003]

Thanks a lot bro much needed info

[@ado.9364]

Very useful tutorial bro, thank you

[@craigdaubbeats-rapinstrume9185]

Got tired of waiting for the ONE to be delivered so I ordered the X to just to have an MPC sooner. Lol keeping both tho. I figure the ONE will be good for travel. I also ordered the Roland JDXI synth because I wanna get into sound design. And, I ordered the AT4050 mic. Super excited about that as all the mics I've ever used weren't even proper studio mics. Finally I got a half decent Yamaha mixer with compression, FX, and EQ. I'm super excited about that vocoder on the JDXI synth though. That thing can make some wicked sounds.

[@Dubbudha]

Even more useful if you always use the same pads for the same type of sounds. For example: 1 to 4 for your kicks, 5 to 8 for your snares and so on. This way you can exchange your drums on the fly, if you want to know how your drum pattern sounds with a different drum kit.

[@tubecrap1]

Simple, nice and helpfull, thanx :)

[@baaboo05]

Great illustration Ave!

[@AveMcree]

[@jaybeetdown]

Yo Ave! Dope channel, learning a lot! My question is how do you get the expansions that you bought from akai imported into the Mpc One? I cant find the files in my c:drive to copy!

[@brokeboi9996]

you are a life saver g much love

[@johnsonkpaul4761]

Thanks for the video. How do I assign the kit to the Banks, is there any reference for that?

[@jowhar4794]

This was just what I needed. Just a quick question. Is it possible to change the save location for the program so it’s not on the internal drive? Or will it always default to that location no matter what?

[@TheScreamingFrog916]

i was wondering the same thing.

[@wongshoemusic]

U done it again! Thanks

[@jcjackson2045]

Helpful sir. Thanks

[@CabanasBeats]

this has helped me. thanks!

[@Halfsour1]

You've got a great channel, Ave. Totally new to this game and I just got my one. I'm excited to get rolling into that learning curve. Thanks for all the great info you share.

[@explicitmassproductions9821]

Man this was helpful. Been having my mpc one for just a week and your vids have been helping me learn this mpc so I can start making full tracks.

[@mwachner]

Thank you for all your vids, truly helpful! Don't know if you still monitor comments here. I just recently bought MPC KEY 61 and I'm having an issue that I've literally spent hours on, including watching so many of your vids. I do this process exactly, but for example I am trying to assign a ride cymbal to my kit. When I audition it, it sounds exactly like I want it to, but as soon as I assign it to a pad (any pad) it completely changes. I've gone in a removed any possible effects on that pad, everything I can think of and I can't figure this out. Happens the same way if I pull up the sample in Sample Edit. Sounds great there, as soon as I assign it to a pad it changes (from sounding like a ride cymbal to almost a much lower octave cowbell or something - Wierd!). Any suggestions? I can't help but think this is user error - but I can't find my mistake. :-(

[@tartoe]

Good vid Ave. How is the sample stacking in the one? It's seems cool, but a bit small for larger hands. Thanks

[@BigBirdbg]

Good video lotta knowledge gained

[@ToneyLoco]

What up !!!This... helped out .. say I wanted to create a tag could I save a single sound , instead of a whole program?

[@josephmuhammad2641]

Very Helpful

[@drumsjh151]

That was great! Could you have saved it to the SD card instead of the internally?

[@AveMcree]

Yes and it would be better too

[@drumsjh151]

Something iv not done yet is save custom kits I'm gonna start doing this

[@10toesdown.1uni]

I appreciate the game dawg..

[@Fairlight2cx]

And this only saves the drum program, not the entire project with everything you sequenced? If so, thanks!!!

I would love to get a copy of your samples :-)

Do they need to be saved to internal or can tge be saved to the sd card or USB drive?

[@stefanaarts4212]

how to add a preview to a drum program as with the extencion paks while browsing you will hear a loop with the drum program sempels

[@blackumfolo6675]

🙏🏿

[@travisbeale1785]

When you sampling a sound, how do you suppose to hear it

[@Mixbrokers]

Peace, question I want to start making my own kits in the MPC one about how many kits can I actually store on the MPC internal hard drive before it starts running out of space?

[@mrcanisters]

128gb sd

[@bighvy1]

Thanks much need info

[@blackadondemory]

What if I purchase a drum kit online, download it to my phone. Hook a SD card reader to my phone. Remove card from reader and install in MPC One. Will that work?

[@AveMcree]

blackadondemory you’d basically follow the same steps

[@blackadondemory]

@@AveMcree so it would work?

[@88keyz]

👍🏾🔥👍🏾

[@Fortune565]

Can this work with SSD?

[@AveMcree]

yes but it has to be external

[@frederickwilliams955]

Mpc Live Or Mpc One?

[@AveMcree]

Frederick Williams that choice is yours

[@MrDifferentTV]

Oh snap let the Mpc one video start. And Smile a little bro you look sad af.

[@AveMcree]

MrDifferentTV sad on the outside... happy on the inside

[@shortythepresident3913]

Thisn't right. If you have a folder with a bunch of one shot wav files in it you should automatically be able to load ALL of them in separate pads automatically. You're just picking and choosing what you want which is confusing and no help to people who want to move quicker. There are 64 pads in total. Do you think anyone in their right mind is gonna sit there and add that many sounds to pads manually just for one track? Your way doesn't smell right. The MPC 2000xl does it so I don't see any reason why this machine can't do it.

[@GaryCOLLOMAN.]

Do you have a tutorial

[@shortythepresident3913]

@Johnvierre Nickles No, I just just preview entire drum kits and load em. Then I use what I use and discard the kits I didn't use to save memory (in stand alone mode). If I'm using it in controller mode it's even easier because I can preview kits quicker because I have "drums overkill" and other vst's. Your way just seems time consuming. Producer's wanna make beats, not sit down all day and make pgm's. That was always the one flaw in the MPC. The designers should've had the mindset of being able to scroll through your sounds like a sound module. The expansion packs sorta give you that feature, but they're all trash. The expansions are a joke.

[@GaryCOLLOMAN.]

@shortythepresident3913 you seem well versed in the mpc, I have a few questions before I hit buy now on Amazon. I currently use fl studio, and while I love the daw, I've always wanted to test my "power" on the mpc..needless to say..here it goes.. 1. Does mpc have a EQ like fl does, like if I want to eq a sample, like take out the low end to add my own bassline? 2. I have hella drumkits, what would be the easiest way to preview my snares, kicks, hi hats, etc..and is it hard to assign said instruments to a pad? 3. Does the mpc have vst like fl studio Does, like fruity filter, piano vst(to add counter melodies) 4. How hard is it to find the root note of a sample using the mpc 1..if you're a novice? 5. I use serato sample now to find my samples/pitch them, and sometimes use random mode which allows the program to randomly pick out parts of a song that could be used...sometimes I use that feature, and end up making heat randomly? Does mpc have a feature like that?

[@foolishcoyote.]

so do i have to format the ssd card or does the mpc one format it automatically. also could you show us how to add beats to this particular sample....using the mpc one in stand alone mode. appreciate it sincery. kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKbFi2h4ip6hqMk
