FIVE Tips for MPC 3!

[@FreeBeat]

MISTAKE at 11:19, I meant to say 12 bars long, not 4 lol

[@jsprunger6246]

You really messed up bad, my day is ruined because of that.

[@P-DOGG-db4oj]

Thank you for enlarging the mpc screen i watch alot of videos on my phone and it makes a huge difference

[@FreeBeat]

Definitely!

[@fredflintstone1428]

Brilliant, an MPC channel that isn't rubbish. Many thanks, subscribed.

[@FreeBeat]

Thanks for watching! Just a heads up, I wouldn't call this entirely an MPC channel, but there will certainly be more MPC content coming :)

[@JamesPearson]

This was a great insight and very different from all the other MPC3 videos I’ve watched so far. Thanks!

[@FreeBeat]

Thanks! I definitely wanted to look at more of what the arranger can do for full songs rather than just beats, I'm happy you liked it :)

[@vertigev]

@@FreeBeat the arranger might be great for a track section/structure video as well. "From loop to track" using the arranger or something

[@pictureskew]

I bought a One + back in March thinking that it was kind of a “daw in a box”, but the new update checks off almost all of the boxes for what I would want in a “daw in a box”. Glad I invested in this over an ableton license

[@FreeBeat]

Thanks for watching!

[@fredofrito]

Thanks for the great explanation of how slice motion works. Nice feature!

[@FreeBeat]

Thanks so much! There will be a more in depth tutorial coming in the future too :)

[@polutropos]

Great presentation.

[@FreeBeat]

Thanks so much!

[@didierbouville4335]

Excellent tutorial with new touch functions that I am discovering. Thanks !

Great video thankyou ,waiting for next one

[@FreeBeat]

Thanks so much!

[@MusikalHuman]

So, I've seen more than a few MPC related videos, since I got my first one, the Key 37. I've crafted music with many masters, and what I appreciate about the videos I've seen of yours -- is just that you are an intelligent fellow master the craft. Much appreciated, can't wait to see more. Subscribed 🤙🏽

[@FreeBeat]

Wow, thanks so much, I really appreciate that!

[@teashea1]

An excellent video production - great content - very fine production values - organized - articulate

[@FreeBeat]

Thank you!

[@zandtussenjetenen]

Very informative! Nice speaking tempo, clear image! Regards

Dude: at 15:10 it’s like the Terminator is literally chasing me through the streets!

[@FreeBeat]

Haha love it, thanks!

[@pelvinsjamz]

Thanks 🙏 this will help lots !

[@FreeBeat]

Thanks for watching!

[@IsshmanGarcia]

you can also switch sequences from the arranger view by pulling down the hidden top pull down menu...the sequence is on top left of that menu.

[@FreeBeat]

Yes! I need to use the drop down menu more, I keep forgetting about it lol

[@herb39hs]

aww man really needed these tips thanks 🙌

[@FreeBeat]

Glad it helped, thanks for watching!

[@vertigev]

So much useful info in this video.. thank you!

[@FreeBeat]

Happy to help, thanks!

[@themrworldwide]

Really learned a thing or 2 from this video, i subscribed, and waiting for more videos like this one in the future, Thank you.🙏🏾

[@FreeBeat]

Thanks so much!

[@philippebackprotips]

One interesting feature I have found from the view of the sample on the main screen is to be able to see and time the end of samples to play other pads at the proper time. Useful for risers and transitions ime.

[@FreeBeat]

Yeah the main screen is SUPER improved! Thanks for watching :)

[@noisetheorem]

Thanks for the shoutout! I’m so glad you’re loving the new MPC.

[@FreeBeat]

Thanks for the support!!

[@MrCosmicVictory]

Great vid!

[@FreeBeat]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@BeatsNBed]

Great video man! Definitely gives me a lot of new ideas and ways to look at MPC3. Thank you!

[@FreeBeat]

Absolutely, thanks for watching!

[@logrinn]

Most excellent and very inspiring. Mirrors a lot of my own feelings and views on the new firmware. Subscribed!

[@FreeBeat]

Appreciate the kind words, thanks!

[@RobotikBeats]

Great video, good tips, thanks! I'm also enjoying MPC3, the only things I'm missing are a way to completely clear a sequence (you can "clear", but the sequence doesn't go back to (unused)), and switching to submixes/master from the mix screen. Edit: I just found a workaround for the first one: copy an unused sequence over the one you want deleted :D

[@FreeBeat]

Nice haha, that does seem like a pretty easy workaround! Thanks for watching :)

[@_cocoalabs]

Best explained

[@FreeBeat]

Thanks so much!

[@stuntmanmadeit]

Great tips!!!

[@FreeBeat]

Thanks!

[@slowneutron6163]

I love it. I'm not downgrading. Signed, Average User.

[@FreeBeat]

Yeah it's pretty awesome!

[@MRSTU1210]

excellent

[@FreeBeat]

Thanks!

[@traitortotheliving]

Great tips man! I’ve been holding off until it’s out of Beta but now I’m thinking maybe I should just install it

[@FreeBeat]

Do ittttttt! You can always just hit downgrade if you don't like it haha.

[@DelainoBarris]

Nice tips, very useful!!

[@FreeBeat]

Thanks so much!

[@pianoyan]

Great tips. One more: the drop down menu is now the quickest way to turn automation on and off

[@FreeBeat]

I always just use the physical button, but it's nice to have fast way to toggle it via touch as well. Thanks for watching!

[@pianoyan]

@@FreeBeat I forgot the physical button 🙄

[@loubang100]

Great tips.🎉

[@FreeBeat]

Thanks!

[@hvhvgitaar]

Thanks, an excellent set of tips. Saving up for an MPC3 at the moment… Having only 6 locators seems an unfortunate limitation, but I guess there are workarounds.

[@FreeBeat]

Nice! Which MPC are you thinking of getting?

[@hvhvgitaar]

@@FreeBeat MPC key 37. I don’t use samples and prefer a device that makes me try to be a better musician, so an MPC with keys is perfect…

[@BoomDocs14K]

Great video, my dude! I just bought a new MPC Live II and updated to v3.0 straight out of the box. I have no experience with v2.15, so my learning curve will be the beta version. I have experience with older MPC's, but this is my first of the new generation. I was told to wait until NAMM in January in case a newer model is launched, but what more could they possibly add? Then again, they are in business to sell units, so anything could come next!

[@FreeBeat]

Glad you're loving it!

[@wiggesobk]

Great video. I will definetly come back to it. I thought they will keep the track mutes, or is it just in the beta?

[@FreeBeat]

I believe they will be reimplemented in the full release :)

[@wiggesobk]

@@FreeBeat i hope so. That's one of the most used features of probably all MPC users^^

[@pianoyan]

I love this update, but worried about the removal of time signature selection. I know it’s a beta, but Akai hasn’t yet confirmed that anything other than 4/4 will be an option. For me, this feature will mean the difference between buying all the plugins and going all in on the MPC, or selling it (again!). Fingers crossed.

[@FreeBeat]

I was informed by someone in the private beta that Akai is aware of folks wanting odd time signatures, and are actively working to add it. I agree though, gotta have it!

[@pianoyan]

@@FreeBeat that’s great news. This is my third attempt at owning an MPC, and I love this new workflow. I want to learn it inside out, but I need time signatures, plus the option to put a single 3/4 measure in the middle of a 4/4 song if I want. I could do it on 2.11, but now I’ve tried MPC3, I’m not going back. Really useful video, btw, and I hope you’re planning more MPC content.

[@cyb]

What else can you do with the pads besides finger drumming?

[@FreeBeat]

I mean you can use them to play just about any sounds on the MPC. What else would you like them to do?

[@dodgecitystudios3719]

@@FreeBeat😂 As if.

[@CaliBeatCollective]

I got a question , since they brung back track mutes and you can create different sequences with variations to create a song in song in song mode. how do you get what you created insong mode to reflect in arranger mode? In other words ive created a full in song mode how do you get that to show in the arranger.

[@CaliBeatCollective]

Sorry i figured it out.Great Video thank you.

[@FreeBeat]

Glad you got it! I don't use track mutes at all so I had no clue haha.

[@nigelreadon8381]

Don't think you can play chords with workstations unless you record it. It drives along the notes, like a car drives along a road, hope thay change this in an update one day

[@FreeBeat]

What do you mean?

[@MegaTechnoteacher]

STOP waving the hands

[@FreeBeat]

never!
