AKAI MPC ONE - How To Chop Samples Like A Pro [Beginner Tutorial]

[@RaskolnikovR]

appreciate that you are showing potential errors, like forgetting the monitoring button or having too high threshold , very useful

[@riddim7774]

Yup, took me a few minutes to even see the monitor icon. 🤣🤣🤣

[@DJREZEREKT]

Yup... But that's because he really made the mistake live and figured he'd show you it lol

[@prodbyzayyonthetrack]

This video is gold, I just got my MPC One in February and this guy literally taught me everything! Watched all his MPC One videos And now im here making hits with artists and also teaching my friends how to use it! Thanks for the tips Keep doing you my guy

[@newday8545]

Some of the most professional tutorials on the Tube. I love that you get straight to the point with no egoic filler and misleading captions for your vids. Respect, homie!

[@tameless2494]

Best mpc tutorial I’ve seen yet

[@thedarkwarriorperspective7475]

Finally!! Someone who knows how to teach a beginner. Thanks Bro. New Subscriber.

[@vancozzin8998]

I just discovered, that if you use the “PRO TEN” option for the Audio Warp Algorithm, instead of the “LEAST CPU”, audio samples sound a lot better when you slow them down or speed them up. Learning this machine is like taking a college course...lol.

[@trenn10]

thank you so much for that

[@htctalker983]

Can you explain this any further pls?

[@K.KILLORAN]

It is totally massive to learn, but if you are patient and give it time, it’s so damn great.

Bro this has been the best video I've ever experienced on KZbin. You have been so helpful and the video was exactly what I was needing to get me to my next challenge with my MPC. I appreciate your time and dedication. Mad respect for the work you've put never the entire time of your career and to be able to share the love . What a tremendous honor. Thank you..

[@loafybeets2576]

I just picked up my MPC ONE a few days ago and this was, hands down, the best tutorial I've watched so far (of probably 50 vids). Great pace, clear details, and didn't leave me scratching my head about what you had just done. Can't wait to check out what else you have!

[@Shahmar]

How's it goin a year later bruh?

[@ZombCity]

Ave if you hit shift in sample edit and click 0 snap it helps with avoiding the pops in samples. If you didn’t know 💪🏽

[@AveMcree]

thanks fam

[@MakingMadBeats]

Is there a way in sample edit to mark just a small portion of the sample to do fade ins and outs to get rid of clicks and pops like on Maschine?

[@antonychigurh8939]

MakingMadBeats yeah, you bring the front barrier of the sample towards the end as if you’re editing everything out; you click process, and then fade out. Next bring the front barrier back to it’s original position and you’re gucci.

[@ProdHway]

@@antonychigurh8939 what are you guys talking about I’m confused

[@syberiansion4947]

Pops in sample are created by a start or end point not finishing on exact line point

[@HurricaneRonnie]

Man I'm loving my MPC One...Ive always wanted one since 97 when I first saw an mpg 2000 and Too Short talked about it on his albums...by the time I finally buy one its the MPC one. thanks so much for the lessons and videos. The videos been helping me learn and and get the hang of the mpc.

[@kingr.a.4067]

I have an MPC One+ (first MPC ever as i am hobbyist in music production) and your videos have been quite informative. I have learned a lot about the many functions of the MPC. Keep up the great work.

[@Fairlight2cx]

Well, if you're looking for ideas, here's what I need to do right now... I have a reference track for a song I want to cover. It can load that off SD card. What I want to do is two-fold: 1) use it as an audio track so I'm laying my stuff over the reference track until I no longer need it on (I know how to do that with an audio track), but 2) and this is the part I don't know: how to take that *same* sample, and slice out several elements of the percussion to take them as samples, save those samples separately, to the point I can assign them into a drum program on pads. That's the part I don't know how to do, is slice & dice to get just the parts I need, and save only those parts for re-use. You do good videos, man. Very helpful for someone who just got the unit!

[@0800caribou]

Perfect, me too. Am a few weeks in and thats my drama right now... 🙄

[@BecauseLiberty]

"shift and convert" man that just saved me TONS of time. There's a much slower and inefficient way to do this, lol. Thank you.

[@thomasdannegger]

Just picked up a used MPC One after having seen talented producers like you work their magic. This was the best rundown on how to get started. Many thanks for sharing!

[@BIGMIKE360AMUSEMENTS]

Thanks again for your tutelage! I have the MPC ONE PLUS AND BASICALLY THEY WORK THE SAME FOR ME. Decades ago I was messing around with the older MPC’s and now I feel like doing music again.

Just picked one up to accompany my bass playing. Your vids have helped me get started making my own beats so that I can create my own bass lines and more. Appreciate you and keep making dope tutorials.

Man, Ur video saved me!!! It confused me for a long time, but then I figure out all the stuff after watching Ur video! Man U R awesome! Luv U, bro!

[@ildafons]

The best video on KZbin on this topic

[@BkBangatv]

Dope. have you tried pad parameters instead of non destructive ? it allows you to make adjustments to individual pads opposed to the entire program. and the warp was not on or engaged that's why it sounded that way. you have to go in and manually select warp. 14:07 try that out incase you haven't figured that part as yet. #KeepBangin! Peace!

[@BkBangatv]

Also Select all so it warps the entire program. or hold down shit+ tap pads a1,a2,a3,etc for multiple. Peace

[@maeksu]

Thank you, I was still trying to figure out how to chop up my sample onto the diff pads, like starting at 9:04. thanks for the help

[@therealjackfisher]

I am new to this electronic stuff, I have been playing strings all my life. I may be going to need MPC or MASCHINE. Next week Akai MPK 249 is arriving. I hope I can do some stuff on that. My software is perfect for making beats but the mouse control is just ineffective and slow and it is super conusing to work with mouse on synthesizers. When you dont have that knob to turn on a synth you sometimes feel like a caveman inside of a jumbojet aircraft.

My pleasure... The chances are you already have and don't know it yet.

[@digitalkmultimedia]

An unrelated but important point for anyone trying to edit or move a sample or recording placed on the Audio track timeline is how to 'micro adjust' positioning of the audio on the timeline (similar to Ave here in his video in Sample Edit mode). You can use the Q link buttons but if its not adjusting as fine or as small increments you want then you gotta change settings. This was not obvious to me at all. First go back and turn off TC. Then come back and change settings to adjust using TC. Now the Qlinks will move the audio timeline in tiny increments.

Great video Ave. Keep them coming. Maybe do a video on where to find and install Expansion packs designed to install direct to the MPC. One example is Akai F9 Instruments Expansion. You get it free from Akai, drop the folder to an SDCARD and then you have it available for use in the MPC One. Very simple. What about other Expansions like this?
