Air Soft Clipper is a MUST HAVE for MPC Standalone Users!

[@Mill-on-da-track]

Best believe when im working in fl studio i have that soft clipper on my drum bus😂 this is major for us mpc users the drums already hit hard this will take them to the next level. Dope beat too Bolo

[@365OTG]

Dope, some things you limit, some things you soft clip.There is a softclipper built into the DRUM FX its in spot 7 in case you wanted to apply it standalone on a per pad basis to anything in a drum program specifically etc.... But there was no Soft Clipper to shape and add on the subs or master or other tracks. Def must have, they keep making it better, and its available for the Force/MPC users

[@BoloDaProducer]

You are correct!

[@reverendcarter]

only for MPC force got screwed again

[@dja.selekta]

The drum fx soft clip doesn’t work the same way, check the levels pre and post fx….

[@hansolo28]

There’s always been a one knob soft clipper in stand alone mode. Just go to Pegram edit>effect>drum effects

[@BoloDaProducer]

I know, but it ain’t like this one 🔥

[@sampoetry]

I always loved the soft clipper in drum fx. I’m happy we can now put it on the master channel as well to achieve maximum loudness. After they add stem separation in standalone it’s a wrap.

[@hansolo28]

Its not a soft clipper in program mod its a shit a transitant shaper without limiter on

They need to quit playing and put STEMS in standalone. Before I give them a STEM *** whooping. I don’t like using the software. Otherwise I’d stay on maschine lol

The soft clipper is alright it makes the drums more preset I heard a lot of people uses a multi band compressor instead of a limit on their overall master track it doesn’t quash the audio as much

[@Ast3rixMusic]

Waiting for Akai to drop that force patch. At this rate if they add that visual eq we won't have to do much but mix and master on the pc. I just keep trying to use my force and get better with all of the features. I like the direction they are moving by making the standalone products in line with our DAW's.

[@Mill-on-da-track]

Okay so I just bought it and I will say YES! I'm messing with this! Definitely gives that fl soft clipper vibe Definitely makes the drums which already sound good with the mpc sound even better

[@rfashmusic]

Yo Bolo! 3 Things: 1. This is a dope addition to the MPC ecosystem 2. That beat is FIRE 3. They need to release them OTHER thangs in standalone too.......

[@B-Nice]

soft clipper is perfect for getting a better sound out of these new machines 🏋‍♀

[@10thLtrBeatz]

Great video ! Recently starting using soft clippers more n more def adds to the dynamics and overall sound quality

[@bandotrax]

Whats the difference between this soft clipper Already in the system and Air’s softclipper?

[@spaindagoat2190]

Fire vid. Just wanted to point out how we get that sound out of FL soft clipper. You want the effect to not be working at all unless something goes OVER 0 db so pretty much threshold/drive whatever your program calls it that should be at 0 and the output should also be put to 0. Here’s the trick. Turn your 808 up past 0 db so like +1.5 db is a good place to start. This then only effects your 808, the rest of the mix won’t be affected. Only thing is “room” in the mix but this is trap music we don’t care. Turn your drums up loud too to combat that “space” in the mix lol. This can be done with limiters as well. Attack ALL THE WAY DOWN. Release ALL THE WAY DOWN threshold at 0 and same thing turn your 808 up past 0.

[@corywilliams458]

Yes Sir!... Awesome Video!... Clippers, Limiters do squash,(compress)those drums,but I noticed it sounds nice when I play on other sources of receivers (Bluetooth,car,)...& Yes FL had this😆😅🤣...Dope!

[@earrelavant3816]

Dope video as always Bolo! Since we all throwing out requests. Automation on the master man. I mean it’s 2024 surely they can make that happen! I know the work around, bounce down and then automate on that but would be dope to automate the whole sequence on the fly in real time! Come on akai, some of us been rockin out since day one.. listen to your ppl man!! 🙄🤣😂

[@Mercilessstudio]

MPC needs to stop playing and Give us a Playlist/ Sequence editor so we can arrange out production properly 🙏🏼💯. All I’m asking for !!!

[@MrMechanicMike]

Yes!

[@floydhardrick2628]

[@floydhardrick2628]

[@officialknightowlz]

I like song mode and have the sequences available to edit and it automatically changes in song mode. It’s the MPC way

[@ThaRebeliouZ]

And more than 4 FX slots, especially for the Master Bus.

[@seangooden4746]

Great video my brother. I have a question I would like to ask you if you're working outside of the box 100%. Do you really use all those plugins? For example, my MPC goes into my analog heat from there goes into my patch Bay into my black audio to my 16 track mixer with any of those plug-ins do me any

[@BoloDaProducer]

I work outside of the box about 90% of the time. However, I still, on occasion, route my beats into a DAW. But when I route my beats into a DAW, I use the effects that I have. When I route into my DAW, I run my beats through my manly preamp into my universal audio interface.

[@daaveed1323]

Using a clipper before the limiter is the way, but you MUST shape the release of both. This reinforces the pocket.

[@Guerson953]

Yeah the drums hit harder with the soft clipper…. I don’t like Limiters too but sometimes it helps

[@digitaldiezel5870]

0:19 I KNOW RIGHT........................ This is the first thing I thought too. Bro I have a bad feeling about that STEMS... They're on it since too long now

[@joss6218]

Kinda new to making beats. If I wanted to make a beat separating the intro, main, chorus, ending. What would you recommend. I think most beats loop 16 bars. Still learning I could be mistaken.

[@dja.selekta]

Make your Chorus sequence, copy it, and create your other parts. Then go to song mode to arrange your sections. You can convert this 1 sequence. 🎉

[@joss6218]

@@dja.selekta Cool, Thank you

[@jasontaylor404]

Also, depending on the genre, you may have 4 bar intro, 8 bar chorus hook and 8 bar or 4 bar bridge, and ending, etc.

[@kvmoore1]

I just bought this dope plugin and was able to install it on my computer where I can use it in my DAW. However, my MPC doesn't give me the option to install it on there. I'm running 2.14 firmware and when I go to the activation screen under preferences, the soft clipper doesn't appear among the other plugins in the list that can be downloaded and purchased. My question is: Why?, especially after I purchased it already.

[@jasontaylor404]

Does it show up on your InMusic account? Did you purchase directly from Akai?

[@kvmoore1]

@jasontaylor404 UPDATE: The plugin finally showed up in the list the next night I turned on the MPC X, and I was able to install it without any issues. It still baffles me why it did not show up that first time, though. Anyway, it's no longer an issue now. Thanks! Oh, and to answer your question, yes. It does show up in my InMusic account. In fact, I installed it on the PC software first before trying to install it on the hardware.
