I just got my MPC Key 37 and I was lost to say the least. This tutorial set me on the right path.

[@vooduh]

Been watching a few different channels since I just got my first MPC and yours seems like by the most thorough and easy to understand. Can't thank you enough!

[@mattw8]

Definitely one of the best tutorials. I was floundering till I watched this.

[@donnielarrabee5884]

Just got the mpc one plus took 2 months to get it it was on back order and u already schooled me more then any other tutorial out there

[@sosuasasquatch9395]

I got mine a couple of days ago...still struggling with it...but once i got the hang of it....OMG🎉🎉🎉

[@hlb1479]

Mannn what an amazing tutorial !! Job beyond well done I've just received my MPC One+ earlier this morning and I'm already navigating thru this machine like a pro/vet all thanks to you Ave !!!💯💯

[@WorldReggae24]

Been a while since you dropped last MPC tutorials. You the main inspiration that made me get into the MPC world and now I’ve been making beats over a year. Thanks to your tutorials and would like to see more! Keep grinding, Ave!

[@JeffStrange]

Many thanks Ave. Bought your Masterclass for the One. Although I’m a very kinesthetic learner, you are the only person to come through, and have this old school BeatMaker make a difference in his production. I have the Koala which is way easier, but I’ve always wanted an MPC since Premier was using the MPC 60 with the S950. Salute and I got your back!

[@jciampa103]

You're a great teacher; I've learned so much from your videos. I bought this last week, and it is a big learning curve, but these videos really speed up the process. Thank you!

[@cstewartjr81]

Thank you Ive watch so many videos and you're the only one to go in depth .

[@TheRealEstate]

Thank you for this and you know I’m already on 6teenlevels for the full courses!!!

[@AveMcree]

thank you so much for the support. It means the world!!!

[@daniel_belongs_to_christ]

Thats a terrific tutorial. I was unaware the mpc could choose what key to play in as well as a few other interesting things. I just got the one plus and need to learn how to use it. Thanks again sir

[@devine999]

Great Tutorial. After this I went and got the master class. About to start. Thanks for all this man. You make me laugh too.

[@chamatsprayart2283]

Just about to get me 1 of these and you break it down with chilled excellence....

[@RhymePractice]

MPC Pad Loop function 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, include them in the same mute group to alternate back and forth.

[@dougdouglass8577]

excellent ! THANKS! 😀

[@AveMcree]

You're welcome!

[@MrMusic32150]

Hey Ave. I'm an absolute, total sub-novice, but I went ahead and bought an Akai Professional MPC II anyway. Believe it or not, my primary reason for the purchase was a video promising that I could change the pitch of a "sample," (which I perceived could be an entire audio track), without tone or tempo loss. As it turns out, I can't even figure out more than inserting my mini-disc into the slot in the rear, which contains about 1,800 backing tracks. Not all the tracks need to be manipulated, but if I could get just one track changed the way I want, I would be well on my way to accomplishing my goal. Then I would be free to "play" with my music form that point on. I'm tempted to take the MPC II Master Class, but I don't want to but a program that regenerates a fee annually, which your program appears to do. (I can never remember to cancel once the time limit is over).

[@discowolf25]

You gt process the entire track. It’s in program settings. Pitch it up, then warp it if it doesn’t fit completely. That one got me too

[@daniel_belongs_to_christ]

Thanks man

[@danwins4124]

I fux wit cha......you are a great teacher/instructor

[@nap41123]

Happy holidays 🫡

[@AveMcree]

Happy holidays!

[@thomasamos4055]

Great content. Are there any issues with buying a used MPC? Can i register it normally? Any issues with software licences?

[@kaiheemogarra3356]

I was checking out your video. It is so informative. I want to know how do we get the plug-ins that we get for free? I supposed to have hype, but it's not in the plug-ins selections. It keeps saying there is no driver selected. I have no idea what it's referring too. Can you provide any information. Thank you in advance for your time and consideration in this matter.

[@ephraimwarrior6766]

Sick I play guitar and gonna get this I also have a midi guitar this is gonna be fun time to get this at zzounds

[@Only1Science]

What up! Quick question: I used to own a MPC 2KXL and I still have a few beats saved via MPC files. Am I able to load those files into the new MPC 1+ to bring up old beats? I've been in Machine for the past few years and I'm kind of missing my MPC. lol

[@rolobotoman]

Ave, help me! How TF do you make gradual tempo chages!?

[@BuchanonProductions-fy3mj]

Hey great video and tutorials you have. I was wondering if you may be able to help me with an issue I'm having. i have one sequence, and within that sequence i have 3 tracks, one for the sample loop one for drums, and another for a synth plugin. but the problem is every time i go to overdub notes from the synth plugin, a random sound from the synth plugin will play without me touching the pad during the overdub. making it almost impossible to make a song. do you know what the issue might be? i know you arent part of akai but i appreciate any help or insight you can offer.

[@ChristopherFlips]

Ty

[@jjeter7828]

I was just wondering if I have my old beats on a flash cards from the MPC 1000. Is there any way to convert it to the MPC one?

[@popsproductions8547]

Hey should i use this class to learn the X. Tryna re-buy the X and learn it

[@seekabs]

Good looking out! Hope your holiday was a good one! 🫡

[@jKHAHN215PA]

12:14 how did timing correct fix that automatically ! What did I miss ??

[@jeniffersanchez4319]

Hello, I need a little curse to learn how use it.

[@DarkTownMusicGroupusa]

7:05 -7:36 when I select my drums I'm not getting any sounds to build a track with

[@DanielIvan707]

Can you load the MPC as a plug-in like the SP404?

[@eastboogiebeatz7063]

If i had any questions on making a beat with Akai mpc one plus,where would you suggest I find a immediate answer?

[@eastboogiebeatz7063]

Any support?

[@fantomandjupiterx864]

Just got one thanks now I know how it works lol 😂

[@saskatchewandave]

Just subbed for that email list, c'mon MPC ONE! hehe

[@AveMcree]

Thanks for the sub!

[@saskatchewandave]

Thanks for the great content! @@AveMcree

[@basedmm]

Is the sd card optional? Or do you have to have it?

[@kevdaceo]

Which MPC would you suggest for an beginner?

[@m1mk2901]

Get the one since its affordable can be used without a pc and has a huge userrbase

[@runekarlsen3233]

Hva er så spesielt med denne kosten?

[@danwins4124]

3:07 3:10

[@antikytheramechanism7909]

At times this reminds me of Trading Places where they are explaining to Eddie Murphy that Bacon is found in a Bacon Lettuce and Tomato sandwich.

[@AveMcree]

😂😂😂😂da fuq

[@averyprice9422]

😂

[@youaintseenmeok]

Maschine plus or mpc plus ?

[@eboni1346]

Personally, the latter. I've tried the maschine and it's really nice but the flow in the akai mpc one+ is friendlier and the price point is also better imo. I'd definitely watch various videthat go into further detail though

[@camilovasquez6761]

Why nobody not commenting that the best is fire lol
