Beginner introduction to Akai Mpc sequencer structure - tutorial Live X Touch & free samples

[@hedron1985]

Finally! Thank you! Someone thoroughly explaining the layout instead of demoing features. Hands down, this is the best MPCX beginner tutorial I've found yet.

[@MITTEL.PUNKT_13]

Appreciate your support for beginners

[@EBMZEQUENZER]

just bought my Touch - as a former maschine user I am totally in love with MPC hardware and software ...................... AKAI did a fantastic job on it .

[@Marrcello]

Thanks for that!👋Your Videos are very helpful for my transition from maschine to mpc live, please keep it up!

[@truthstateoftexas7032]

Very thankful I found this video, was having the same problem with the transition and this was easy to understand

[@robertsmith-sz2dj]

You help me a lot ! Because everybody so secretive !

[@mpchead]

Secrets are over 😂😂.... it's all about practice, trial and error.

[@MatthewStratton]

No need for secrets. mpc head is right, it's all about practice, trial and error. It is great that he is presenting the information, but it really is how you use the information to express your own style.

[@callumclarke4949]

excellent stuff really needed the refresher as I missed some knowledge thanks again and anyone watching become a patron to this guy 1 dollar content every day no !!!!!!! Brainer !!!!!!!!!!!

[@mpchead]

Thanks for the support Callum.

[@DavidBulczak]

Great overview. I have been looking for such a video for a long time. Especially since I am thinking to switch from NI Maschine to another platform I wanted always to see how a MPC song is structured and if it fits my workflow. But it seams so :)

[@ronblanche3257]

Thank you soooo much! Super-helpful!!

[@KarasamaBeats]

This is perfect ! m preparing myself beforehand to learn about the MPC usage . The retro edition of Live2 is on her way 😬 Can’t wait

[@steveperry7799]

Another very helpful video.

[@thomasbiggs5131]

Good video sir. I love your work. Keep up the great work.👍

Thank you !

[@hair_ofthedog5023]

Hey man, awesome vid again. I put in 10 job applications this weekend and the day I land one I’m buying you a coffee, my friend.

[@mpchead]

Good luck with the jog hunt Ryan hope you get it. Thank you for following watching my vids.

[@mpclive5693]

A coffee? How about a spliff and a few beers!! =)

[@FCTHETRUTH]

Thank you for this glad i found it

[@dienastyrecords6215]

I really like the structure of this video

[@Mirrorman1986]

I'm coming from FL studio this a game changer for me,I just got my mpc live it's a major learning curve but it's worth it.

[@mpchead]

There's a lot to learn be patient, one month and you'll feel at home.

[@juancharry1457]

Really nice videos, keep the good work !

[@teabagNBG]

there are a few good channels with mpc tutorials but i have to say i like urs the best... how did u record the touchscreen? btw are u also using the mpc with fruity loops?

[@mpchead]

Thanks for watching. I used a program for that, I think OBS. and I never tried FL. Just the mpc

[@rufusjackson4836]

This is a great video. What's your thoughts on the Mpc software vs Pro tools. I have an old digi 002 and protools 8. Should I get rid of the protools and digi 002 for mixing my beats

[@mpchead]

That's a tricky one. You really can't compare Pro tools with the Mpc software, the mpc software is still in its early days, Pro tools is leagues ahead. Editing tools on the mpc soft are weak and lack on a lot of tools. The only advantage is that you can open up Vst inside the mpc and not use the built in stuff to edit. At the end of the day, I can mix everything inside the Mpc, but I won't compare it to Pro tools.

[@drumfish78]

I've never been a fan of Mpc's until i found your tuto vids & some other's as well, actually, these Mpc's are killers, i was on Elektron's gears but never fancied the sound of them, i sold my Octatrack for an Mpc which is way more advanced in the sequencing workflow. I've lost my time on Elektron's even though they are fun to use, the Mpc seams more serious gear to me. Great vids of yours dude !! Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[@mpchead]

Thanks for watching I wish Akai would see comments like yours. Have fun with the mpc

Great video dude, as usual! thanks a lot for your content, I've got a question, is off topic but... Can you tell me what type of camera you use? thanks! :)

[@mpchead]

Thanks Hans, I use a canon 70D.

[@iVardensphere]

Bruh, do you even mix? Um... yes, yes I do mix. \m/\m/

[@rodrigoescobar4445]

Excellent work bro!

[@dizleypyram7170]

Good tutoral man

[@Chrispie79]

Great video as usual. Keep up the good work Are the free chops located on your band camp?? As both links take you to the same place

[@mpchead]

Thanks, I tested it just now and I get a pop with two different links, one for bandcamp and another for Patreon where the chops are.

[@Chrispie79]

I got it, thanks man✊🏿

[@natanunorthodox]

So sequences are the same thing as patterns, with the tracks being each part within the sequence (pattern)?

Ok so when you have different samples chops at different bpm's/tempos are each different sample chops are supposed to played in different sequences?

[@mpchead]

No you can have them all in one sequence

@@mpchead but what is the samples have different tempos because in an sequence you must play according to the sample tempo?

[@jmons33]

Upload more contents bro!

[@KDAbiDK]

god bless u

[@alyeska4226]

What sort if Midi controller would you recommend for the MPC Live? Im so disappointed the box has no mixer for the tracks. I am hoping I'll be able to use my Kaossilator Pro+ to have some control with the tracks? And i suppose I'll have to change and develop a style. I'm actually used to the linear stykes and fluctuations of analog gear with lfo modulations comanding loopflow

[@mpchead]

What do you mean it has no mixer? I don't use a midi controller to mix inside the mpc but if I did want one I'd maybe go for the akai mpd232.

[@alyeska4226]

Mann! Thus box is straight fuggun JUNK! I feel like i got ripped off. It's just an overhyped playback machine that is so incompetent. So my gripes about the mixer extend even further! The sequencing is fuggun worthless. I created multiple seq's in order to evolve my shit... yet this fuggun junk still holds everything in the same static bullshit hastkes with no real editing capabilities.

[@satstube111]

Thanks a lot

[@cheddab2657]

I have a question. Where can I get instruments, sounds. I've downloaded expansion packs. I'm getting loops, samples, drum pads, but no solo sounds, or instruments. PLEASE I ND TO KNW WHERE TO GO. It's been weeks. HELP

[@mpchead]

What do you mean? You want like a plugin? I got some samples on my bandcamp with solo instruments

[@unknownfilmmaker777]

What’s the song at the beginning?

[@queencitycutty9082]

Brooo..thanks for the update info....quick question how do I fix the touch on my touchscreen..I tried it gives me some kind of message saying I can't do it in the mode Im in mmc I think...

[@mpchead]

I don't know what you are referring to, the only mmc I know is in the preferences - sync tab - mmc is for synchronising the mpc with external gear.

[@queencitycutty9082]

@@mpchead Thanks for the quick reply..I still got the pads...sounds and software with 2.5..thanks anyway..

[@CharlieZelenoff]

How do u get all the Expansion packs into Standalone mode? Thank you...

[@mpchead]

Wish I had a standalone to make a video on that.

[@alyeska4226]

Just plug in a usb stick and load

[@babaparsk]

Hy!i love your vidéos,but don t understand all you do...i m french...Can WE copy a track,in a other séquence n standalone mode?

[@mpchead]

Yes go to the pencil next to the track or sequence to copy tracks. Thanks for watching

[@SirMalikCobra]

Totally random: Are you familiar with a way to erase multiple tracks at once? Also editing multiple tracks at once?

[@mpchead]

You could use the same program in different tracks, that way once you edit the program it would affect all tracks. Can't delete several tracks with one click.

[@SirMalikCobra]

@@mpchead Yeah that would be dope right? I made this a suggestion to Akai... Just figured I'd see if someone had a workaround for those things.

[@EBMZEQUENZER]

I have 8 wave plugins .. MPC scan always indicate the waves shell crashed .. anyone else ?

[@yewgong1248]

I don’t understand your explanation of Tracks. Program = collection of stuff to be played. Sequence = pattern of that stuff being played. Song = chain of sequences. Track = ?

[@mpchead]

track is where you write all the midi notes info for the program associated to that track.

[@yewgong1248]

mpc head Thanks. So a Track is the same thing as a Sequence - just the midi face of it?

[@mpchead]

The sequence contains all the tracks. Change the sequence and you have a new set of tracks.

[@alyeska4226]

I'm heated that there is no option to assign fx to trax. WTF Akai! Such bullshit!

[@yourmom9828]

Please try and do a video about how to Loop samples on the MPC! Thank you!

[@mpchead]

I'll do one next week mom

[@anotherwolff3650]

I bought my first MPC....but there is not a good documentary of the structure of an MPC. Is there anywhere a diagram for the structure of an MPC. I worked years with timeline sequencers....but an MPC is a mystery for me.... Can anyone help?
