[@BrandonBLysticLee]

Much appreciated bro. Glad I could help!

[@LashonEvans216]

Just bought my MPC Live 2 ! Thanks big time for the video. It definitely made the decision easy and the transition much smoother. Would be completely lost without this video

[@BrandonBLysticLee]

Congrats on the purchase and know you’re gonna love it…we all still learn new things on them everyday so enjoy the journey

[@NRDYTech]

Hey man, great video. As a fellow YTer, I really like your style. I teach tech/IT stuff, but also make music daily. For what it's worth, I actually really liked when you started talking about Dre..don't shy away from sharing some of your thoughts on modern/past hip hop, I would love to hear your perspective and I'm sure others would too!

[@BrandonBLysticLee]

I appreciate that a lot man…it’s good to get that type of feedback and my plan is definitely to create more of a personal space for all my creative work and more of myself as well…while continuing to do tutorials and other things that people have been here for.

AKAI MPC LIVE 2

[@edwardlewis650]

I want to so bad he’s the best beat machine in a matter of life

[@boomboombaby9140]

I use mpc 2 software and a mpk mini 3 and I’ve noticed that the software hits hard especially if you use the mpc3000 vintage effects on the overall master track . The MPC Software sounds the same when you export it . Fl studio doesn’t sound the same when you export it if found myself exporting 3 or 4 times to get it right.

[@BrandonBLysticLee]

All about the export settings too

[@boomboombaby9140]

@@BrandonBLysticLee yeah but still I have to readjust until I get the perfect sound . Mpc it sounds the same when you export as in the daw .

[@mickeyandminniemousechanne5071]

Hey there long time no see i was just gonna pay $ to elbow on his tutorial mpc live 2 when this showed up great job by the way i was curious about the finish on this song u created were u gonna finish it through song mode so i can use your teaching from beginning to end with it being finished, by the way good job on this glad ur back peace.

[@BrandonBLysticLee]

Appreciate it man..that’s good to hear and I’ll try to make that soon. Maybe even with this same project..like a part 2

[@derricklyles6918]

Sounds great I can't wait to see it by the way when you create or save you files when songs are complete do u name them and store location, thanks my friend peace.

[@CEEPMDEE]

Can I install the instrument packs that came with my MPC X SE to my MPC LIVE II? Also how do you find saved samples?

[@kimrobinson6838]

Hi. I was wondering do you know how to export the mpc live midi data under the midi icon, by exporting that mpc live midi data as a .midi file (onto an eternal SD card) to take just the midi data out of the mpc live? I appreciate your videos. Thanks...

[@ncbrothad]

what kind of workstation desk are u using ?

[@masterlee178]

Is The MPC Live 11 A DAW?

[@designsinorbit]

Question for ya- I have a TR8S and MiniFreak. I am thinking the MPC Live 2 pretty much replaces all of that, wouldn't you say? Like just sell those two and pick up an MPC. It does everything I could ever dream up it seems. Whatcha think? :)

[@BrandonBLysticLee]

It comes down to preference, but I would say the MPC Live 2 is a lot more versatile than the TR8S but it depends on your workflow. As for the Minifreak..that probably is a better synth than the ones in the MPC but now with the newer plugins internally, they are really close. If it were me, I would keep the synth to pair with it, but if you did sell both to get a Live 2, that would still be worth it.

[@designsinorbit]

@@BrandonBLysticLee Thanks man!

[@Fleshnbloodrobot]

How come you aren’t incorporating the Mpc live 2 into your recent beats? Thanks for all the content btw🙏 great music

[@BrandonBLysticLee]

Hey, I appreciate it..I used it a few videos ago. I know I have been quiet but new vids are coming. There may be more changes, but I'll continue to do Live/MPC videos..but I also want to make content on all the things I do regularly...including other DAWs, Music Videos, and other things content creator related.

[@Fleshnbloodrobot]

Most definitely! I meant how come you aren’t using it in your beats you make outside of videos sunset it was collecting a little dust like you mentioned. Was going to get one to compliment my korg xd for sequencing.. beginner obviously ha

[@BrandonBLysticLee]

@@Fleshnbloodrobot Gotcha..yeah, I mostly use it now when I am not in my studio or away for a few days..I take it on trips or when visiting fam. I have the Key 61 currently connected to my set up and also use Ableton a lot. I do highly recommend the Live though and if there was one MPC that I'd recommend, that would be it 👌

[@Fleshnbloodrobot]

I get that. 61 really renders it out of the picture. Most ppl are straight computer huh. Just need a sequencer to compliment the korg xd. Seems like the best option🤷‍♂️ thank you man! Keep killing it
