MPC Beats Masterclass Full

[@JNo-sk5mz]

Please don't abandon this program, it's absolutely amazing. I started with MPCs, and moved to DAWs, The quantitization and workflow never felt right. I just discovered this program and I'm truly inspired again. Please keep developing this program, it's a winner 👍🏾

[@sammyshreds]

I just found it last night, I'm glad it didn't go away yet. Way easier to use than MPC Essentials

[@HOLLASOUNDS]

I never was able to get it to work to be honest, it deleting midi randomly.

[@Atreyuwu]

Why would they abandon it? It seems pretty popular, is this something they are known to do??

[@JNo-sk5mz]

@@Atreyuwu There wasn't any rumors that I heard, but companies in general are notorious for abandoning software over time. Just trying to let the people at Akai know that we really appreciate and use this program 👍🏾

[@Atreyuwu]

@@JNo-sk5mz All good, I understand. Yes, its a great program! :)

[@wutsupg]

This little session here saved me a lot time.

[@macmachine]

After a 25 year lay-off, I'm amazed how much music programming has moved on. But your tutorials are helping me master my AKAI MPK/Beats combo brilliantly. The end result is amazingly high quality on my crappy little laptop!

[@jesswilson6012]

Same and I just took 5 years off.

[@deepnoteTV]

Great demo. The only thing I would recommend doing different to save time is to copy the sequence into different sequences and using the mute feature in song mode instead of making the entire song in one sequence. However this is a great presentation with a lot of useful information.

[@nomad1517]

Most underrated DAW ever. Perfect for begginers and masters.

[@Jay-jb9us]

I just bought my first mpk mini mk3 and man it’s beautiful! First time using the software but it just seems so much easier to use than other programs.

[@HOLLASOUNDS]

It's almost identical to the software that's on there MPC Live and X.

[@eegoal]

This daw is just perfect. It's everything I've been looking for. I've never been satisfied with the default layout of most daws, and you guys've just given us this for free! this is awesome and I'm totally getting myself a real physical mpc soon

The workflow in Beats is spot on. Can’t hate it once you get the hang of it. I’ve been on it for the last 2 months and i love it!

[@wadewilliams1892]

I’m making an album and I was worried about having to upgrade to 2.0 for £100. I feel like I’ve won the lottery today. Thank Akai the timing is perfect - software fantastic - and F9 brilliant - thanks for keeping Akai where Roger Linn help put it ✅✅✅✅👊🏽💥💥💥

Just purchased my MPK Mini and this was just what I needed to get started! See you on the charts next year baby!!!

[@RicardoLauredant]

Hi I need help to get started with the mpc beat software, how can you help

[@intergalacticproctologist]

This is a DAW for people who don't like using DAW's, like me. I started using this program about a week ago, still learning my way around. So far, I love it. The layout is very good.

[@monster8ter]

This tutorial is wayyy better than half what youtubers post, they make it all complicated, you my friend stick to the main tutorial step by step 🙌🏽 I needed this thumbs up and a sub

[@ShawnTheBassist369]

it would help if you were more clear as in to guiding people on how you got your screen or how you load the files when you new to this it helps to see what is being done to get files loaded that way so some people could follow better

[@KingJusHipHop]

So True. He Started With Pre Loaded Samples. How did he make them play with the Pads Empty and No icons selected on the bottom right of the window. He doesn't seem to answer any questions on here either. How did he load the samples to show up in the small box where the Drums icon is?

[@ernestocruz11]

I just purchased the Akai Mini MK3 to start up my new hobby. This video has so much information that helps me enjoy this new venture. Thanks for uploading. It does have A LOT of information so I have to watch it like multiple times to be able to grasp all of it , which is good because is all for free!!

[@TheNathtube]

This is incredible, for free this is an essential download, can load my 3000 projects into it, happy days.

[@ghostp7919]

its a great little thing to have for all the old beats... to do bits on them that you cant do on the 3000 2500 an so on... but one thing i see is that its missing fx when i load up my 2500 beats eveything is there but some fx are gone an there not in this software kind of sucks

[@untoldofficialyoutube8563]

Nath Jones happy days my friend

[@slaughterhousejazz]

@Icestro beats 11/10. I started working with Cakewalk in 2001-->Sonor Producer 8.x. I built dozens of rigs, Scsi drives, the fastest processors (essentially gaming rigs). I have a ton of old gear etc., including a Roland FA06. IMHO this just sort of made everything obsolete. Clearly, more tracks would be great, but there is nothing stopping someone from fleshing out a significant portion of an idea, and porting it into Ableton etc. I bought an MPK mini in 2018, and sort of shelved it. I decided to look into any new developments yesterday, and literally fell out of my chair. Bravo. I mean, if these guys offered a dental plan, and free money, it would be better for sure, but what the hell, this is very well-thought out, and the tutorial(s) are simply elegant, insightful and inspiring.

[@urbantechbrourban9630]

well dam.....Masterclass indeed sir!!....That Beat is Fire..........Just Got the Mini Mk3 and wow this can be good... This Lesson is and Excellent Starting point....a Must WATCH!!!!

[@partyinternational]

AWESOME. Fastest way to get up to speed since Old School. Thanks, we needed that.

[@sellabeats5561]

Andy PLEASE Do a Video with Mixing Start to Finish Inside of the MPCX Software with Gain Stage. It seems like when we stop out the box of the MPCX into Protools using Audio steams it looses the sound of the MPCX. It sounds flat. I really would like to get into using the Sends and Returns- Aux inside of the MPCX Or Software.

[@ELISHACAEZ]

I love how this is not for mixing and mastering and recording and all of that. It's about a sample based beat making extension. That is a whole other process that I spend alot of time on and have a hard time just having fun making quick beats. I hope this improves my workflow

[@ICEICE-em9fb]

Fcuking great video, my MPC has been sitting in front of me for over 9 months, thanks so much for this easy to follow masterclass.

[@across_the_bridge]

lol mine too

[@TheTonecii]

I had it for a little while, like a couple months but never really used it. Long story short, my laptop crashed, I recovered it and now I'm using it. I love it. It's not very intuitive, but once you get used to the workflow, it's a powerful workstation.

[@HOLLASOUNDS]

@@TheTonecii Its literally identical to the software in the MPC one or X or live. It didn't work on My PC but I still tell other people to use it as for most people it will work.

[@TheTonecii]

@@HOLLASOUNDS it's the bomb. I'm still waiting on Akai to re-send me my copy. I just recently requested it back, so hopefully within the next two weeks I'll have it again.

[@mikec538]

I just bought an Akai Mini and Logic Pro X. Thanks so much for the step by step video. Some people were telling me not to use MPC Beats because it was too hard to work with.

[@thethcspot]

Not hard at all it looks difficult but it’s not.

[@JWalks-dl3vl]

The drum lesson was in Eb and the Bass lesson was in the key of "D" and that is ok?

[@eurotium]

Amazing video Andy! Excellent display of the software potential! And I know by now there are still a LOT of additional features, instruments and effects that you didn't even mention... people will be amazed on what they can do on this free software. Pure bliss! Thank you and Akai for it!

Should we be hearing the persons voice at 22:00?

[@Anonymous-ne6wu]

@ 19:44 you demonstrated how to put a single sound onto the keys so that each key would be that sound, but on a different note. When I do this for other kinds of sounds, it plays them in different notes, but it also speeds them up/ slows them down. How do I avoid this? Thank you!!!! And great video :)

[@ashinbristol]

Excellent...AKAI are putting out some great stuff at the moment.

[@congonal]

Good video I relay like this soft ware can I use it as a plug-in in my daw and and get separate tracks for the drums?

[@chrisbeatztheproducer3130]

Whats the difference between this and the actual MPC software and also can I link my live with this new software?

[@cLsbraziL]

Can anyone help me figure out how to change the volume of the notes? For example at 18:00 you can see how all the notes are at different colors which signifies the different volumes based on how hard you hit the keys, but I can't always hit them hard enough to get the volume I want while playing. I would guess there's a way to change that volume in the program but I can't find it
