[@CRUCIALMEDIAGROUP]

Hey man I wasn’t feeling none off the new mpc’s after the 2000xl, anyways 2 weeks ago I decided to take the dive and brought a mpc live 2. Man was I blown away, so late to the party. Lol it’s amazing.

[@Salaam71]

Same. Just got the Live 2 about a month ago. Before that the newest MP I had was the 4000.

Akai should give you a commission because they just sold another mpc live 2 thanks to you. Also that counter melody gave me that stank face! Keep it up bro

[@djsoo]

Live 2 was my first and I love it. I wouldn't really say it's "analog" - it's all basically digital with a built-in computer.

[@jamilkadhim2366]

Some would argue the same about all MPC’s lmao “analog” is used contextually at this point

[@djsoo]

@@jamilkadhim2366 true, but signal path on the old ones were still analog. The modern MPCs are entirely digital in terms of audio processing.

[@entmedias4965]

@@VeracityTT No fam, it'll be an already digital audio going to an analog interface. The sample is already a saved WAV file; ie Digital. 'Truly Pure Analog' would be like; Recording vocals with an Analog MIC or an Electric Guitar DI signal through an Analog Interface, imprinted on some type of analog medium like Cassette Tape or Vinyl. And for the listeners to get the Pure Analog experience they would need an Analog Tape or Vinyl Player. But this entire debate is silly and a waste of time and energy. Given that most of the reasons we love the sound of analog can be replicated with digital effects plugin like XLN Audio RC20 or better yet Modeling of actual analog gear like IK Multimedia T-Racks.

[@entmedias4965]

@@VeracityTT In the end Digital give it to you RAW or as RAW as it gets for the time being. And the quality is CONSISTENT. Then you can add your own desired effects using plugins or even some recording techniques. That is what makes Digital precious in my opinion. Compared to Analog where what you get is what you get and it's wildly inconsistent. Virtually any analog gear will sound different (even if slightly) each time you use it; as it ages, depending on the environment (is it Hot, is it Cold), etc. I am speaking as a hardcore lover and practitioner of Old School/Lofi Boom Bap But, we mustn't let nostalgia prevent us from acknowledging the truth and act accordingly.

[@ChewoBeats]

@@entmedias4965 wow - finally a true answer. People don’t understand the only difference is the converters, that’s it. People just don’t sample no more. Just coping mp3 files and saying “I miss that sound”. Of course you do - hook your phone to the analog input and sample - booom! And for the live - just go in hot with the phono input and boom. Kids need to check it and don’t eye for the older models, this girl can do it all and more

[@ItsReezun]

Quick routing problem. Trying to see of someone knows the answer. Is there a way to have a computer and mpc live 2 connect to a usb hub and have the audio play through a USB mixer? If so, what kind of hub? Powered or non powered?

[@simfballcritic]

Man Bolo, been following you few months now and have enjoyed every vid. I have a MPC Studio Black but think I will be upgrading to the MPC Live ||. Issue I'm currently having with the studio is I can only use it on my desktop PC. Can't use it on my new Macbook because the Macbook only has USB-C ports. The USB to USB-C adapters are not working. It powers the Studio but it won't open the interface. In that case a standalone unit may be better for when I'm traveling.

[@trevormalcolm4328]

Nice vid!. Question, can you bypass the on-board speaker?

[@tre4rado512]

Right. A sample is a sample. Timbaland stated the same thing you said.

[@Jvaldes609]

Yo amazing video! Question how is the export process to a daw like? stems and all that stuff, is it quick and easy. thanks

[@immersivenarrative]

Hey Bolo! It would be cool to see a video on how you describe the analog sound!

[@JakeSweeper]

Hmm.... Why did "I'm a Believer" by the Monkees pop into my head? Weird.... 😉 Got an MPC One and I'm loving it.

[@millzwave2531]

what's the difference from pad parameters and non destructive ?

[@STMENTNETWORK]

Do I have the same mpc and I updated the firmware but it didn’t load no where near as many plug-ins just just 3. Am I forgetting something can u help?

I concur, brother. I initially got the Live 1 to toy around with away from the desktop... fast-foward to today and my Live 2 is now the central part of my setup. Most of the time it is the only piece of gear I turn on to start coming up with ideas and several sequences. Now I have a hardcase to take it out on errands, sit in my car, and scratch out more ideas... midi keyboard and headphones are optional!

@@creativegreats6924 … very few differences between the two. The speaker comes in handy and it added the 4 shared cv/gates ports. That’s what I can think of off the top of my head… timing was on my side to swap the MPC Lives. I just returned the Live 1 for the Live 2.
