MPC Beats- Very Basic Tutorial

This video is a beginner level tutorial on getting things started, and introducing sound to your midi controller for MPC Beats.

[@DoryYas]

Finally, a good video for beginners! I know nothing about MPC beats and the MPK Mini but now finally, i feel im starting to understand it thanks to this video. Can you please create a playlist (and more tutorials) containing all of the "very basic tutorials" that ones need to learn in order to start with this software? The way you explain the info makes it really easy to understand them so I hope to see more of these videos from this channel because i really dont wanna be frustrated and sell this MPK mini keybooard 😂😅

[@teamuncoordinated630]

Dory. Thank You so much for your comment. We are super happy that we are able to help! we will be putting out more videos this week. I can definitely make a video on how to do a playlist. Give us a bit of time and we will get it on the channel. Peace and love from Team Unco Studios! ✌😃

[@RWZeegers]

This was a huge help for someone like me who is just getting started with MIDI Controllers and MPC Beats. Thanks for the awesome beginners guide.

[@teamuncoordinated630]

Awesome brotha!! So glad we could help! We will have more videos coming out this next week. Peace and Love from Team Unco Studios in Cali Brotha!!

[@mariogarcia2778]

FINALLY A REALLY SIMPLE TUTORIAL IM GONNA TRY TO FOLLOW ALONG. THANKS

[@teamuncoordinated630]

Thanks Mario. Yes i tried to keep them simple. if you keep going through the tutorials you will catch on fairly quick. Hope the vids help Brotha. Peace and love from Team Unco Studios!😁✌

[@mysonrando7789]

Been running in circles trying to figure things out You seem to have a good understanding about People, I feel like this is the first actual tutorial I've watched, and I've watched several

[@marcelkuijper8240]

I've seen plenty of so-called "tutorials" for MPC Beats come by, but none of them actually do what you do ... starting from absolute scratch. Finally I'm able to see how to get started. This is such a huge step up from the last program I've used (Dig-It for Atari back in the 90's ... don't laugh!), so the number of options and little buttons got very confusing. Now I know where and how to start, so now I can really start playing around with it and soon I'll be recording. Thanks!! 👍👍

[@teamuncoordinated630]

Super happy we could help Marcel! We have more tutorials coming out this week. I have also made a playlist so you can follow the MPC Beats programming step by step. 😁👍

[@RobOHara]

I know this probably seemed super elementary to you, but this is the video I needed to get me started. Thanks for making it.

[@teamuncoordinated630]

Thank You so much @RobOHara for the reply. We do our best at trying to simplify our videos for MPC Beat beginners. We are glad that you found it useful. We will soon be getting back to dropping more MPC Beat Tutorial videos. Our studio has been busy as of late, but we will definitely be back to making videos very soon. Peace and love from all of us at Team Unco Studios.😁✌

[@sixjac]

Great intro video, helped alot, most of the videos out there skip all this and I kept getting lost. Cheers

[@teamuncoordinated630]

Thank you so much brotha! We will be making a ton more videos! We are in the process of moving to a bigger studio. Peace and love from Team Unco Studios!! 😁✌️🎧🎼🎹🎶🎵

[@Oldmansy]

I've subscribed to your channel, as i like your videos on how to use MPC beats and the mpk mini 3. Thank you for giving up your time to create these videos, they are helping me to understand how to use MPC Beats and the MPK Mini 3. Your videos are by far the best for explaining and learning how to use MPC Beats and the MPK Mini 3. I look forward to watching more of your videos.✌️

thank for your help

[@LALA_Land_210]

Thank you!! I bought this for my 11 year old last Xmas and he never used it…I’ve been saving it because I didn’t want to just give it away…this is the first video I have been able to follow to even just get my key pads synced with a drum kit and program (i have zero experience w beats) !! Exactly what I’ve been needing…I’m excited to play around w it and teach him what Ive learned. He is thinking of trying to use the mini with FL studio, any thoughts?…

[@teamuncoordinated630]

Hey Laura. Super Awesome! Glad we were able to help you and your son. Yes fl studio is a great DAW to learn on. If you need any help navigating FL, don't hesitate to ask. I just dropped another video last night that explains some more details on how to navigate your MPC Beats Software. I would highly recommend showing this to your son as well. We have more videos on the way that will focus on Keygroups, and plugins, so be on the lookout.

Hello, Thank you for teaching. I don't have an "MPC Beats" button for the tabs shown at 3:04. This way I can't access the "preferences" tab. Please help me with this. Give my greetings to your dog

[@teamuncoordinated630]

Hey Gabor! So if you don't have the MPC button we're I showed on the Mac, you must be using a PC. If you look to the top left of your screen, when you are in a project, you will see an icon with three lines. Click on that and a browsing menu will pop up. Go to edit>preferences and you should be able to follow the rest of the steps from there. I am dropping another video very soon on toolbars/menus. I will still be doing them on Mac. But we will also be doing PC versions. Hope this helps! Feel free to ask any other questions if you have them! 😁✌️

[@whiteclouds247darkclouds]

Hi! Thank you for your tutorial. I have a situation. I have an akai mpd226. When I set it up with mpc beats and press pad 4 the bank changes to "D" Bank. I then have to manually change it to bank A and if I press pad 4 it goes back to bank D. And bank D has no sounds. Please help me solve it.

[@teamuncoordinated630]

Hi Clouds. We could use a little more technical information to be able to figure the issue out. You are more than welcome to email us at [e-mail] to see if we can help. Thank you for watching the video. Hope to talk to you soon.

How do I go to preferences like you did to connect the beat device to my PC

[@teamuncoordinated630]

Hey @DewitStorytimes. So MPC beats had changed where they put there preference setting. Are you using a Mac? If you are, take the mouse to the very top of your screen, your program tool bar should pop down. when it does, go to the first icon that is labeled "MPC Beats" and click on it. once the menu pops down. Go to "'settings" and this should open your preferences menu. Hope this helps. If You are still having trouble just email us @[e-mail] 😃✌

Hey Brian. So in this video i have my JBLs hooked in to the stereo outputs of my interface. Then i have my mac use the interface as its main in/outputs. You also have to make sure that your MPC Beats Preferences are set to your interface in/outputs. Hope this answers your question.

[@herculeswin5545]

Can't we use without using thus external beat equipment?

[@teamuncoordinated630]

Absolutely! It is all patterns Hercules. If you are good with patterns you can definitely draw out beats manually. If you know keyboard chords and at least a little sense of musical theory you could be able to do chords and sounds and all of that just by using your mouse and your mouse pad.

[@teamuncoordinated630]

I believe on one of my videos I make I am doing it manually and not using any external equipment at all. I want to say it was either the metronome video or the exploding tracks videos where I mentioned that I am not using an external device.

need to how to setup on PC

[@teashea1]

Nice - good friendly style - well done - organized - helpful If you want to go to the next level, quit saying things like "like everything" or "you know" or "all of that stuff" or "all that." It is distracting and can be confusing. Rewatch this video and focus on what you need to do to be more precise in what you say. You probably say twice as many words as necessary - the rest is unnecessary and distracting from your message. Also quit talking about what you are not covering. It leaves the viewer wondering about those things instead of what you are talking about. Also, use a larger arrow cursor. And instead of using your plug in controller, use the pads on the screen. All of this will make for a better video with higher production values.
