Hi Malo, Thanks a lot for sharing your work and your workflow… It’s so inspiring, that I can’t find the words to express how grateful I am. You made me buy a MPC Keys 37 in replacement of my MPC One (1st gen), and I’m actually working around to master it the best I can. I have a question : which course do you recommend between the two one can find on your website that is the most appropriate for MPC Keys users ? The MPC Live Mk2 or the MPC One+ ? Thanks in advance for your answer, and I wish you the best from France 😉👍

[@thekidflames]

Brother, I love how honest you are. “I’m not gonna’ act like I know what all this does.” Simple but refreshing. Too many people act like they’re experts when they haven’t had whatever they’re selling longer than the people coming to find out about what it is and how to use it. Appreciate that, brother.

[@ricardomanzo]

Attention Everyone: If you are considering getting the course, it is well worth it. I am 1/3 the way through and it has been great. What makes it better, is that Malo is responsive to questions and technical issues I experienced. I have bought other courses where the master class creator would never answer. So, if you are on the fence, buy it. And now, I am on my way to buy this soft clipper.

[@bonebap1096]

Hi Malo - If there are questions after we take your MPC course, would you be able to assist via e-mail? Also, are these downloadable courses or only view on the site and can come back anytime without time expiration?

[@kmalljack2701]

I had to come back. That is it. That's what these mpcs needed. Now they sound right and complete. Let me find out they was playing with our freaking money by holding this back . Im upset and happy at the same time.

[@akeyunturned3580]

Your enthusiasm is so real and so genuine, like no other KZbinr out there right now. Infectious. Keep on brother!

[@Limbowski]

I love when you get lost in the process dude. Yesterday I just made two beats and afterwards checked the time. 10 hours passed cuz I vibed and just forgot time. I love this. Thx for your content.

[@daniel_dumile]

Those A/B tests are hard to tell because it's just so much louder (like 30%), it'd be curious to hear a gain matched comparison on 2 pads

[@malobeats]

They are much loader and they are both peeking at the same levels, that’s what this soft clipper does best. Allowing you to push the level without clipping/maintaining the same peak levels as your original sign. both are peeking the same. The only thing is that the soft clipper is being driven much more extreme, but at the end, they are both peeking exactly the same.

[@qvolecompa]

@@malobeatsThat comment alone gives me a much better understanding. 👍🏼

[@mauriziomauricone]

It’s a well known fact A-B comparisons should be done at the same volume levels because the human ear always perceive louder as ‘better’.

[@coldskoolbeatz]

Here's an easy way to understand this concept. Overall level = Peak + RMS Peak = the part of the sound we perceive the least RMS = the part of the sound we perceive the most Clippers are designed to increase the RMS level by decreasing the peak level without changing the overall level, making things sound louder. This is also called, decreasing the dynamic range, which is the difference between the peak lvl and RMS lvl.

[@yvesdropBeats]

The first drum break is what RZA used for the Raekwon album Cuban Links. Good video. Always dope beats and educational. ✌🏿

[@qvolecompa]

I got that album from Columbia House, when you could order like 12 cds for a penny 😂. Mid 90s, we were bumping that gritty east coast rap, in a small town in southern Cali. Heltah Skeltah and all that. Going to have to take an old listen to the RZA . 🫡

[@KingHanma]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥As always. Yup I grabbed that clipper immediately and love it. Thanks for the vid!🙏🏾

[@malobeats]

Yo, this is dope and thank you for sharing this with us. This one hit me by surprise. I was not expecting it to sound as good as it does.

[@klisher]

Got mine last night, gave it a quick test with a random drum sample from my expansions and was blown away.

[@paulvogel6303]

This will greatly improve the ability to master on mpc

[@gnawvy]

Yoooo this after the vintage FX (MPC60)on the drums is gonna be so HARD.

[@mrlotto32]

This video is 🔥 as a beat cook up even without the soft clipper demo.

[@malobeats]

Thank you so much brotha

[@palumbobeats]

The beat at 10:45 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Another dope video. Def gonna cop that clipper.

[@malobeats]

Damn, thank you. And I was really feeling that one as well. I appreciate you dropping by brother.

[@chrisdavis9135]

🔥and you hit'em with the black n white edits 🏆... presentation always on top can't wait til you incorpoate that SP1200 / MPC midi ON video! 🏆MALO.

[@malobeats]

Yo, this really means a lot and thank you for this feedback. It truly does help me out with upcoming videos. I really appreciate you, brother. Thank you.

[@chrisdavis9135]

@@malobeats Keep firing! +🙏🏿 Blessings to you and the Family.

[@tompbeatsCO]

Damn nice work Malo. Was on the fence after watching several videos until I watched yours. New plugin day! Thanks man

[@malobeats]

Same here, I noticed others using it a bit different but from what I’ve tried to get them most bang when using it on drums. It’s a must have.

[@tompbeatsCO]

@@malobeats bro that mix knob!!!!!!!!!

[@ziahtheone4772]

As someone who loves the passion behind mpc, please drop longer videos 😂 love fam

[@samuelmccann3008]

MPC is the best thing out. Those chops 🤯OMG. Can’t wait to cook up…

[@BeatsByGemsmiff]

I got mine today!! Sounds dope!

[@B-Nice]

considering what the timestretch does to the transients of the snare, a clipper may be required for snares and hats

[@buddhapalmtv6878]

Salute Malo! Always makes my day seeing the joy a dirty drum beat and a sample chop brings you bro! Haha I have a drum addiction too, so it's good to not be alone bro haha. Great vid

[@thebl8nlyblatantnetwork]

Got dammit !!! I said I wasn’t going to get another plug in thanks a lot malo 🤦🏾‍♂️😂

[@Casey-cq9xp]

Thanks for reviewing this. I was curious how this sounded compared to an external vst

[@malobeats]

I think quality wise this is got to be at the top of their list. The saturation truly is amazing.

[@Leeno99]

What are the differences between the MPC Live training and the MPC One training? Are they both similar information?

[@dja.selekta]

Sounds great!

[@DarrenLiverpool]

That was fire. New to MPC One. The link only shows options for Windows or Mac not MPC how do I get the MPC version? I have a Mac.

[@carbonvibes]

That Air Soft Clipper is a game changer, thanks for sharing as always Malo! Also, that beat you were playing with was ridiculous. I seriously doubt anyone would have complained if you kept chopping and putting 🔥 tracks together. 🫡

[@Austen_Tv]

5 minutes in and im like yeah im getting it

[@bonebap1096]

@bonebap1096 20 hours ago Question. Is your MPC Live 2 course downloadable or only view on the site? If online course only, is there an expiration or can I come back anytime without time expiration to complete or review the lessons?

[@malobeats]

Hey brother, thank you for asking this question and you will have access to your account to view it on the site indefinitely so there is no expiration date on it. Plus, it keeps track on what chapter you’re currently on in the videos you’ve already watched marking them off.

[@bonebap1096]

@@malobeats Thank you. Good to know.

[@kmalljack2701]

To be honest I was saying the mpcs are missing something to output that sound that the old mpcs have and that soft clipper is it. I don't care what they named it but I know that what was missing and it should be free cause it needs that to be complete by default.

[@malobeats]

Your SPOT ON, I was not expecting much on this one until I slapped it on my drums. It’s a must have in my personal opinion.

[@freshestinclass763]

Yea i wasnt even thinking about getting this until he pressed play.. last month i was messing with the mpc2000xl. And this plugin gave me that same gushy feeling that the 2000 naturally has. Im coppin. Lmao

[@matthewgaines10]

It wasn’t missing. If you know how to make drums hit, you can do it with or without the Air Soft Clipper. The new clipper just gives you more options. You can use all the mental gymnastics you want but it all boils down to is either you’re going to buy it or not. Akai isn’t going to give it to you.

[@Panchita2780]

How we getting the audio From ?you record audio true camera ,Mic, , sounds good By the way

[@gnawvy]

Yooo Malo, I'm having a hard time getting the Soft Clipper plugin installed on my MPC stand alone. How did you get it on your MPC stand alone?

[@DuncanTembo]

Listening on my smartphone speakers...sounds so fxcking good 😮

[@Smugglizzle10]

10:45...Supernova hottness fo real! i feel you on you sayin gotta record that....do a whole beat and release it buh....bless

[@CelphJus]

Have you tried the chroma console with your mpc yet ..... Game changer

[@thebl8nlyblatantnetwork]

How you do the video with out headphones and not getting feed back in the mic ?

[@designerraptour]

That sample nasty!

[@reembeats951]

Looking for to purchasing your live 2 course is it different from your KZbin videos???

[@andrewrussell9967]

Yepppp

[@malobeats]

🫡

[@deanivan3951]

AIR tube drive gets the job done for me, this should have been free imo, love your beats though brother!

[@ChristopherJenkins73]

Chopping Samples is really your nitch! You have an ear for this for sure! You do well on the mpc alone! 🫡

[@DJL609]

Great Vid Malo

[@malobeats]

Thank you brother 🫡

[@Trioptic3D]

Will you do a comparison between air soft clipper and the stock soft clipper under DRM EFX? Is this substantially better?

[@TheWavys]

way better......just get it

[@kidoctulus01]

how did you add the ‚favorites‘ folder to the inserts?

[@babysunn2]

😮😮😮… I Thought That Sounded As Good if Not Better Than The SP 1200 Sounds… By The Way, That Would Make a Nice Comparison Test… Drum Breaks With The Sp 1200 Vs MPC Drum Break With The Soft Clipper EFX Only 😁.

[@dkbars1692]

Benny the butcher vibes on the first beat!

[@sdopeisses]

I bought the soft clipper but i can't use it in Standalone because it don't shows me the clipper there. I'll see what the Akai Support says in the next day

[@malobeats]

Yo !! I had a similar problem as well. Shoot me a DM on Instagram if you have it. If not, I would go into your settings / activations / and right there manually put in your serial number and refresh the page

[@sdopeisses]

@@malobeatsit says the number is already used but i just registerd it in my account

[@BankHardBeats]

Try switching to Controller mode, then switch back to Standalone, it should show up when you pop back into the Settings after doing that (worked for me at least)

[@IsshmanGarcia]

If you purchased, make sure it's on your Akai account FIRST, then go into MPC Standalone>preferences> Activations and it should be there. If not there, restart a new project and then go back into activations and download. That's how it worked for me.

[@malobeats]

@@IsshmanGarcia yo follow this message says he got it right on the spot. As long as you’ve purchased it using your account and that’s the account that you’re using on your MPC you should see it pop up automatically when you refresh it.

[@spincitynyc809]

AL wilson record with the legendary Mobb Deep Sample

[@VJFranzK]

That's a basic DAW feature, it should not be an additional DLC.

The drums from Raekwon’s “Incarcerated Scarfaces” ft. GFK. One of my favorite breaks to play on the kit. The perfect boom bap with the open hat sizzles!
