[@manymoonsago3492]

@Ave Mcree, I am torn between purchasing the Akai Force or MPC Key 61. I produce Drum & Bass music. But now getting into Funky House and Bruk Beat edm. Can you give me your thoughts and input please. Thank you. Hope all is well your way and thank you for your amazing channel.

[@MarcusEDM]

Thank you Ave. Very good tutorial 🎉

[@philippeleblanc856]

I think one of your best vids bruh. Good Job on this.

[@forsale313]

Nice recipe for a quick cookup, this a good foundation to get things going. Thanks again

[@elMaxx5]

I see you got that thang!!! Congrats!!! Put that bit to work! Nice track. Drums bang.

Congratulations on that MPC 61 dope beat modern house ish! I want one this is what they should have made in the year 2000 when they were making all the different NPC Hardware / standalone-ish this is what we all wanted now if someone could just lend me 1800! PS it's actually not a bad price for what it is I paid $2,000 for my MPC 2000 XL back in the day! PS always love your videos!

I have mpc live 2 and arturia keylab 61 mk2 and then they wanna drop the whole shabang. It will make space and I use mpc software so it'll work out better for my workflow. Still waiting tho. I have atlas and kit after kit after kit. I can't wait til they ship this bad boy

[@garycummingsjr.6896]

[@AveMcree]

Dope beat and walkthrough

[@digitaldiezel5870]

I’m taking notes 📝’

[@Dreamordierestless]

What’s the point of processing sample I’m trying to wrap my head around the concept and did you chop up the sample before processing?

[@aking9832]

great video.

[@EZ-nc8fr]

Hey Ave for the basslines do you follow the melody, the chord progression or do you just hit notes that are on the scale of the key that the sample is in?

[@tempmode37]

I like the beat I just don't what kinda a beat it is not west coast and not east coast but that bass line is FUNKY!!

[@AveMcree]

I ended up changing the drums because they were terrible.

[@RomeAround]

Have you had any luck saving 3rd party VST’s to favorite’s? Or is that even possible?

[@AveMcree]

No

[@BRINGINGtheBANTER]

Would you recommend this over the mpc live 2 ?

[@AveMcree]

Do you like playing keys vs pads?

[@BRINGINGtheBANTER]

@@AveMcree I only have an akai mini so far, started making beats in January, but I want an mpc next but I don’t know which one to get 🤔

[@BRINGINGtheBANTER]

@@AveMcree missed this bit out but I don’t mind playing both, not exactly brilliant with either just yet haha

[@AveMcree]

@@BRINGINGtheBANTER You can go wrong with either. If you're using it in standalone.

[@BRINGINGtheBANTER]

@@AveMcree thank you, I’m using fl studio at the moment, appreciate the comments back, keep up the good work 👍🏻👌🏻

[@larryotismusic]

Mannnnn mine is backordered and I'm tired of waiting lmao

[@AveMcree]

Join the club.... This will be leaving my studio soon and I will miss it!

[@larryotismusic]

@@AveMcree damm bro I don't know what's worse... Having to play with it and return it or waiting on it. Either way it SUCKS lol pause just in case

[@byrdman6752]

Mpc key 61 vs Fantom 06?

[@AveMcree]

Fantom has better sounds but the MPC has better everything else.

[@WyattLite-n-inn]

@@AveMcree Truth!

[@darthknowl9222]

Is this applicable to the MPC One?

[@AveMcree]

not the keyboard scale lock but the One doesn't have a keyboard.
