Real MPC Workflow in FL Studio! MPC Beats Free VST

[@AveMcree]

This video is 7 different tutorials with time stamps. I forgot about one thing. You can send multiple outs to FL Studios mixer. Meaning you can do whatever you want in the MPC beats software, use Fruity Loops piano roll for whatever, and still track out your beats in the FL mixer.

[@AveMcree]

btw shout out to Doswell beat! He said to warp all the pads at the same time go to the drop down tab that have the pad label and select all and then hit warp. And then make sure you hit the drop down again and go back to current

[@averyprice9422]

@@AveMcree doswell so cool... Laid back cat...

[@TunzAmazin]

Its a little weird but you can also use midi out on fl to control each program in mpc beats software too. You can assign each program to a midi channel and port. That way you can still use the FL piano roll.

[@esox86new]

Hey Ave First thanks for all of your videos very helpful and motivating for me, already learn a lot from here. I bought your fl file for mpk mini mk3. It works flawlessly with FL but when I'm trying to use it mpc beats as plugin in FL the pads are not working, it tries to trigger fl channel rack in the background. Any tips on this please? Thanks

[@jcurry3school]

I am trying to figure out how to send separate kicks, hats, snares from MPB directly to the FL Studio Mixer. Is that what you mean? If so, could you please elaborate? It is literally the only question I have left.

[@citizencain01]

This video is just what I needed. No more FPC lol. Can't believe Akai put this out for free.

[@JNo-sk5mz]

I just want to thank you for putting these videos together, I started producing on an MPC in 1998, my father got me an MPC 2000 as a graduation gift and I made so many good songs on it, I upgraded to a 2500 and gradually moved on to producing in DAWs, and did some really great music in them and will continue to use them, but this software is amazing, my father just turned me on to it, the quantitization feels just like the old school MPCs and the work flows very similar, and integrates well with DAWs. I really hope Akai keeps this software up-to-date and continues to add features, and doesn't abandon us.

[@forevershampoo]

Thats dope cool ass dad

[@doswellbeats]

To warp all the pads at the same time go to the drop down tab that have the pad label and select all and then hit warp. And then make sure you hit the drop down again and go back to current 👍🏾🙏🏾the video is dope bro good stuff 🔥🔥

[@AveMcree]

Thank you for that! Greatly appreciate it

[@averyprice9422]

You tha man!

[@poeticgeenetikstv4672]

Great video Ave...Aye Yo Doz..is it possible to just drag the midi or audio to Fl and get the same result?

[@avocadotoast8352]

where is that drop down tab? 😇

[@jaemez3247]

You can actually just click the little export audio button in the UI and then just drag it as a wave right onto the playlist. No exporting to folder required.

[@blaczomby3045]

I see a lot of tutorials videos of people saving to desktop when its just as simple as clicking the button in top right and dragging it to the daw lol

[@Jaycayo]

I’m like a quarter way through this vid and it seems this is the vst I’ve been look for in regards to live looping/sampling 👀

[@philipkemp426]

+1 for where the fuck has a straightforward cheap/free MPC VST been all my life.

[@WOZARTWEBB]

Ave, It's been a long time since anyone has commented on your Tuts. Let me say that I enjoy your commitment to teaching folks about MC BEATS. Thanks man..

[@jaybeatsmrvibes]

Man I was just watching a hit boy interview and he uses mpc with fl studio it’s super fun . And that vintage presents like mpc 3000 sounds 🔥🔥. The drums sound and hit better. MPC with fl is unmatched

[@innerbliss108]

Ave Mcree you have always been so helpful over the years, thank you bro🙏🙏

[@BIGMIKE360AMUSEMENTS]

I just downloaded MPC BEATS 🎧 I FREAKING LOVE THIS! I’m bringing another dimension to the chop shop! I’m a huge MPC fan for decades!

[@Dominant1mw]

Mannnnnnnnnnn you make my day with these videos,And you are right about the all MPC heads with grey hair!!!I'm one of em..I use pretty much everything you use but MPC just keeps me coming back and they have just improved Software wise.Thanks for all the tutorials and videos King...Nuff Respect 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@stanthebeatsmith]

yo MPC as a vst is awkward, could never get use to it before lol but your steps helped me out, respect🙏🏾

[@AveMcree]

My pleasure

[@twistedlogicentertainment]

Keep up the good work Ave. I'm probably one of the only cats on here that's even more old school than you, been at it since about 1984. My first drum machine type device was the Korg KPR-77, and DAWs didn't exist back then. It was either two reel to reel machines, or eventually a four or eight track machine and a mess of synths (I did also have an Ensoniq Mirage sample which made me the ultimate guy to talk to round town.) Just want to say thanks and let you know that there are some of us old geezers out here watching too. Every few years, there is a new way of doing things and a completely new work flow (um gettin to old or this.) You know I'm right. I have a real appreciation for this one that you posted since I have no experience with the newer MPC software. Now just a quick geezer note, an OG call. Back in 1986 I think, but don't quote me, Roger Linn was still pushing Linn Drums, and at that time, they were the Bomb! Couldn't afford that though. My drum machine had bell sounds for cymbals. They don't know how lucky they are to have things the way they are today. Accessible, and relatively cheap. In this case free! Thanks again man. Just subscribed to your channel and will be back again to check in on what you'e doing. Keep up the good work!

[@stacystacksbeats999]

That’s why I love this brother! He keeps it real!!!! This is wat metro been doing! He was making his beats in mpc then put them in fl studio. Next I want you to bust murda beats as well!

[@th3ufobaby]

“Bust murda beats” is crazy work ayo 😂😂😂😂

[@seven-11]

so glad i found this video. i spent hours trying to find out how to map my akai mpk mini 3 drum pads to the channel rack, but to no avail. this is such a better way to go about my workflow. hella thanks. ✨🚀

[@nehemiahjackson]

This video is point on PERFECTLY demonstrated and explained the way that this mpc software works with FL studio is amazing SHOUT out many blessings to you for sharing your experience and knowledge with the World thank God for people like you

[@BIGMIKE360AMUSEMENTS]

I’m old school 🏫 myself. AKAI 💯 I graduated from high school in 1987. I remember my 1st drum 🥁 machine, Roland MC 505 and then the 626, the 707, etc. MPC 2000 and the XL.

[@AngryAndy_]

One thing I never see mentioned, if you click on the cogwheel on the top of the MPC vst plugin, goto 2nd tab "VST WRAPPER SETTINGS" then Processing tab then click automap outputs or select each stereo out listed to a track on your FL Mixer... then you can route per Pad or Programme to the separate outputs and use FL's mixer and plugins directly and well from there you can do all sorts resample track out etc straight into FL from your MPC Device.

[@baltimega]

Had to come back to this video now that I know how to use the mpc software. Super helpful as always.

[@88keyz]

I watch learn and make music I leave the tutorials to those that are grate at doing what they do basically I stay in my own lane which is making my music still thanks much appreciated keep doing a grate job 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@AveMcree]

thanks

[@MrDifferentTV]

How is the swing in MPC Beats? Does it have the bounce and if so how to use it. dope video bro.

[@AveMcree]

Tbh, FL Studio's swing feature is pretty spot on.

[@tonipepperoni3424]

I remember hearing about this free daw/vst from you and at first I didn't know what I would need it for but then when I figured out that it can be used as a vst I realized that this is literally perfect for me to have structure to my workflow while inside fl studio, fl is very open and I feel like fl studio gives u lots of freedom ease of use but it's necessary to be able to structure your workflow into things like loops and layers of sounds and then make beats from there rather than just mindlessly experimenting in fl studio which I usually do and that can mean I lose focus on my beats overtime 😃 thanks so much Mcree for introducing this and other free vsts to me they are lifesavers for producers

[@forevershampoo]

Man thanks so much this is what I was looking for in FL and didnt know it existed. Thanks so much. Used to doing it analog and tryna get my main sampler digital because vintage ones keep breaking haha

[@Dominant1mw]

Another cool way is to build the song in the MPC Beats plugin the export each track then important as stems back into the playlist 😉

[@locutz]

I pulled up mpc beats in reaper as a vst only because mpc beats don't see my Xpand2 vst which I love so I use it in Reaper #GODMODE

[@88keyz]

That last part so true I will probably do some investing into akai buy a product or 2 from them over the next year or 2 I have bought a few products of akia already so basically I understand using akia products to make my music and show case it is me do me still buying there products is me giving support for the company to stay in business 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

Great vid AVE and U are so right about the history and the culture of Hip Hop production bruh! Started out with am Emax keyboard and cakewalk on a 5 1/2 inch floppy 😂

[@slpwlksounds]

Yo Ave I think I noticed something this morning while I was working. When you warp a slice and see you that lil “120Bpm” light up, I think you’re supposed to input the og bpm of the sample to get it to true time stretch. I may be way wrong though, just something I noticed.

[@leviprentice5689]

to follow you step by step from beginning to end on this vid. . . .ive enjoyed using this along with FL. so Sir massive thanks for this vid and also ive saved this vid too :D

Man Ave, I've been watching you for a couple of years. Every since you got MPC One, I've been looking at Akai. Yeah, I have Native Instruments, but I had to bust out and get the MPD226 this week. It's not the MPC One, but the software and those pads....damn!!!!

Love fl+mpc

[@BigDrewminatiLL7X]

I did not watch the full video but I will later can I just use my midi keyboard to trigger the pads ? Gonna go crazy with this all night 🔥😁

Yes

AKAI really dropped it NICE when they released MPC Beats.

[@JEFFMAN90]

Man why did I buy Serato sample lol. I played around with the MPC beats software last night and its pretty dope

[@AveMcree]

Yeah, that was my thought after this video... Serato Sample has never very well for me for some reason.

[@TheKnightOwlJoker]

I would defend Serato Sample but I spent $99 dollars on it and can't open it,not even in trial mode.It was working fine now it,Beatformer,Rhythmiq and Regroover Pro won't open.Over 200 dollars worth of plugins I can't use.Smdh.

[@walterkronkite3671]

How do you route each pad to it's own mixer track in FL STudio?

[@Cosmicnexus86]

The MPC was made the year I was born The significance and importance of such machine My first time ever using a MPC was the 2000 XL One never forgets the feel and touch of the pads the knobs the workflow of it this is why I love Akai because they have stuck with the same formula and have adapted with time A lot of companies have come and gone since akai's inception even some of the major players like Roland cannot compete with Akai I'm sorry Don't get me wrong Roland has some good shit but akai has it another company I would say that's up there with Akai is Korg with there trition series working with both is very lovely

[@nathanielhamilton5841]

Solid video bro, very informative. Definitely going to add MPC Beats to my FL workflow. Peace!

my pleasure.. Glad to help

I still need you guys input on MPC vs Native Instruments Maschine. I'm going to make a purchase in the next coming weeks. Thinking about purchasing MPC One

[@slpwlksounds]

I'll put it to you this way. I had a Maschine for 3 years and after trying the MPC Beats software with just the mpk mini, I ended up uninstalling maschine.

[@Sol_Keez]

@@slpwlksounds I bought an Mini MK3 today and two expansions. I can't wait until it comes. I'm definitely not in a hurry to make any beats for now until it comes. It controls MPC Beats perfectly. I'll use that time to watch videos on KZbin. I'll be getting MPC One within a month brotha.

[@DAIMANization]

FPC is good that more to stop clutter... For free this program is good but FL does everything that MPC program does... So no need for it in that sense. Used to HATE FPC but in the end it was one of the tools that ended up using a lot. FPC/Edison great combo of tools and save so much time with drums. Excellent tool.
