[@ionbladezofficial]

As someone who has done music as a hobby for the last 17 years, and has worked with some of the craziest interfaces and DAWs, turning on the MPC One was a bit overwhelming. Thanks for simplifying everything, because I was considering returning it right away to get something much simpler! The Korg Electribe 2 is "easy" compared to this! Well, it kinda is, but you see my point.

Hey Matthew! Just copped the MPC One and I gotta say, of all the KZbin tutorials I’ve watched, yours have been the most comprehensive, easy to follow, and helpful. Not knocking anyone else but you are truly out here doing God’s work. 🙏🏾😆 Thanks so much! Appreciate you! 🙌🏾

You are not coming off as a jerk! You're are a great help!!!! You don't have to wear a fake smile and act super over enthusiastic!

I own an mpc x and was looking for beginners tutorials. I just stumbled upon this video and in plain “ENGLISH” had me learning and making beats in five minutes after watching . Thanks and keep it up ....

[@MatthewStratton]

Thanks! Glad I could help!

[@traviscarden1574]

"Don't make it complicated, Keep it easy." That's the truth right there! By him saying simple so much in this video it made me believe I was making everything way too complicated before. I've been trying to outdo myself the whole time I've been making beats but just by bringing it back to just a simplistic beat, it changed my entire world. Sometimes less is perfect. No need to have a billion different instruments n plug-ins. Keep it simple and build off that the best advice anyone could ever give n any n video. This Guy is made for teaching others. Thank you my beat brother from another Mother!

[@educapro]

Matt..."Thank You!" I haven't even made it into the first 3 minutes and your humble attitude has made me a fan. This is how videos should be taught when it comes to new devices where all one needs is just a few tips on getting started. I agree with your comments on how some folks an be jerks, premadonnas. Not ar all appealing. So the simplicity helps everyone learn. Now when a person ges better its beause they've learned the foundational steps, then they graduate. And of course with time and work, everyone gets better. No one's a master at everything, so time builds progress and hopefully helps that person teach the next person. Thank you Matt!!! You're a rare find, your approach is valuable for those who understand that cussin' and fussin' through a video is a HUGE turnoff. Blessings brother.

[@darrylscott8542]

Dude, you should know that you're a god send. You teach ridiculously well. Your instruction is very very clear and helpful. I found your videos when I was at work and been watching them a lot. I am so excited to get my first MPC. I dreamed of having one as a kid but my family or I never really had money for me to have those kinds of hobbies. I made music and made due with rag tag equipment and basic computer programs. Since the pandemic I Mac'd up and got Logic Pro X and have been letting music be my "go-to" or my "pandemic flex". I am happy to say that by the end of the week I will have my first MPC - the MPC One- and I am so excited to get it. I haven't been a kid for many years, but I can say that this is the first time of excitement that I can remember since I was a kid. So grateful to have found your videos. They will take me a long way.

[@VinylWave11]

Once you have downloaded an expansion. Make sure you have a USB stick or SD card in the computer, Also place a folder in the USB or SD named expansions. If you use the MPC 2 software on your computer. Go to the upper left click on the 3 line stack, Hamburger. Go to tools, Go down to Expansion manager. Click lower right on export select the USB or SD and select the Expansions you want to export and then again lower Right corner click on expansions. The computer will then display the software working to export. I suggest just let the computer do the export and do not do anything else on the computer. Hope this helps everyone.

So I had my MPC and commented on another video the other day. Today was my first day of actually trying to get something going on the MPC One. Remember, I am a COMPLETE beginner to this stuff, but have been playing bass and guitar for over 40 years professionally. Anyway, this video is MUCH better than the one's AKAI puts out for starting! I could not get anywhere with theirs. I got yours going, took my time with it, and got a 99% accurate copy of the demo you did in the video. I'm blown away. I don't know how long it takes a noob to catch on where this is second nature like it is with you, but I am stoked! I just wanted to pass along a HUGE thank you, and I am going to get your name to some people in the industry. Like I said, I am a pro. I know many pros, but am not going to be tacky and name drop. All I can say is that with things the way they are in the world with covid and stuff - a lot of us are going outside our comfort zones during this time and working with modern technology since it is good for the brain, as well as being a great way to just be able to get ideas and such down without anyone else. Thank you so much for taking the time to make these videos. They are beyond helpful, Matthew!

Your vibe is super positive and you explain stuff clear and easy to understand. Great job..I just had an mpc32 arrive in the mail today. I am aware the basic system is the same as the one so this vid had me up and going thanks.

[@blaster3744]

I grab whatever i can and whatever makes sense to me to learn the MPC one, and yours make a lot of sense. Thx a lot To share your experience and making those videos. I wish i ll be able to give back soon to the community ❤

[@dhaferkoheji3572]

Matt, You're the best! Another great tutorial from someone highly capable who finds joy in sharing his knowledge. Respect mate!

[@TheIndustrialRetrospective]

Dude thank you this is awesome, I love the positive attitude. I work best when some one gives me a basic rundown and this was exactly what I needed to get up and going with my one.

[@melmoog7437]

This vid was dope! I just got my MPC One today after 2.5 years on an MPD 218 and the way you broke it down was simple and helpful. I also was watching your expansion pack vid at the same time to get those instruments. I ad libbed a bit by going with a bass funk riff and it still came out dope. I've subscribed to your channel and will be looking forward to more dope vids. Peace!

[@LifeinDigitalFilms]

[@jakesully1489]

Just got this unit and having watched this video I've just made my first beat. Thanks for the tutorial and for explaining it so simply and quickly. Cheers dude 👍

[@kchapman1145]

I've watched a few of these videos and this is 💯 the teaching style is spot on and gets to the point clearly. Thanks man 👊

[@g-track5065]

I appreciate you for making this sound so simple. You're on point and I'm rocking with you for just that and now on!!!

[@matthewbrown9595]

Had to comment on how you spoke on haters putting people down trying to shut people down instead of helping and acting superior well done. Seriously bro good shit

[@PeterMoberg]

Coming from an Octatrack I was thinking MPC must be easy getting started with, can’t be more complicated then the octa was. I turned on the MPC One (never having used a MPC one before) and was totally clueless what to do, haha. Thanks for sharing, this is a really great intro

[@kathryngreen1351]

Awesome stuff. Just got my MPC One today and this was exactly what I needed to get me up and running, well walking maybe lol. But moving forward anyway. Good job, another sub here

[@JegErAlan]

This was a perfect intro, thanks! I watched through it once on the treadmill…and now to make my first simple piece on my new MPC One.

[@drewll4897]

Just got gifted one today by a group of friends who know my passion for music. Thanks for the video. Gonna be tapping into your channel a lot. Cheers!

[@MatthewStratton]

Wow! You have an amazing group of friends! Tell there thank you for being awesome for me.
