[@floydc9482]

Popo, I can't thank you enough for this video. I had my eye on many products for 4 years or so and saving for the MPC X. Still need a half a stack or so to buy it. Lately , I've been getting board and looking at other products and thinking of alterative set ups but I'm a perfectionist to a fault. Decision making for me leads to repetitive overthinking about my goal for acquiring the MPC X. You and others who stand by the X helps me not go off the handle and buy some things I'll never use more than 1 or 2 times. I'm sticking it out until I can afford it! I understand why others may feel different about it but, you get what u pay for they say . Seeing the torn down one made me happy to know I'm getting some serious shizzy! Thanks again. Piece-Out!

Your feelings about the MPC X has convinced me to purchase one. I have had a studio since the early 80's. Life interrupted my music. I came back after 30+ years to a lot of changes. I was using an Atari ST with original Dr T and Steinberg software. I still have all my old stuff except traded one synth for a Korg Kronos. Great workstation but the learning curve is insane. Wanted something that could tie all my old keyboards and drum machines together and almost bought the Akai Force, but after reading the manual realized it wasn't going to do what I needed it to. Wasn't sure if I could justify the cost of an MPC X, but research only tells you so much.... it comes down to people. Do MPC X users "like" the machine? Does it have an easy workflow? You answered these questions.... questions no other reviewer has done. Thank you.

[@PoliPopo]

The MPC X will definitely allow you to do everything that you need to do to make a song from start to finish if you want you can click on one of my Amazon links when you order it and it might give you a little discount and I'll get a cut to. You don't have to but either way congratulations on getting your new centerpiece to your studio

Does it ever Start to lag or sound or feel sluggish. My Computers always are great up untill i start stacking those Effects n vsts.

[@PoliPopo]

I totally understand and can relate to what you're saying I have an MPC 5000 that works great and so I started adding a reverb and effects to each track then it would start glitching out on me, I have not had this problem with the MPCX it's honestly one of the best investments I've made in my studio. I do get it to be glitchy in controller mode with the software but that's my own computer's fault MPC is built rock solid. I think I tried to max it out with a hundred tracks at note repeat and I couldn't get it to glitch 💯🙏 This box is beast

Poli Popo Crazy. So as a Standalone do i actually need a Computer or is that just to Have options of More sounds n BS. Im on the road alot. To carry a Mac is nothing but if i dont to Im not gonna

[@PoliPopo]

@@sgtasapmusic I believe the MPC comes with over 8 gigs of sounds You can always add in your own sounds by getting expansion packs etc or just making your own. I do not use a computer at all unless I'm posting a video but as far as my music production I use my MPC in standalone, It has three main plugins right now that are sweet, but yes it has tons of sounds built in. The cool thing is is if you have a computer you can go into controller mode and utilize any VST's or plugins that you have on your computer as well.

[@PoliPopo]

When you get the MPC you'll have to go to the Akai site and download a bunch of stuff directly to your MPCX It has effects and everything

Thank you Papo for the info. You seem like a trustworthy, honest, humble and knowledge guy. Build on those strengths and in no time your channel will build up. It takes a little time. I have a question, I’m a long time DJ (35 years) but have never tried production. I’m interested in trying now. I have the opportunity to purchase an MPC Live or an MPC X from a friend for a $1000. I’m unsure which way to go. Which would you recommend for a beginner? Thank you in advance.

[@PoliPopo]

I had the MPC live but I had to get the MPC X if I had to do it all over again although the MPC live has that battery life and all it's a lot easier to navigate and get all the features you looking forward to the x. However that being said the Akai Force seems to be more lean towards DJ but the MPC X can do it just as good if not better.The MPC live does exactly what the MPC X does there's just a little menu diving that you have to get used to if you're a DJ and on-the-go the live might be better for you.

Popo what up!!! Hey man I have the MPC Studio that I just got back into using after the 2.3 release and I’ve been very happy. I still use Ableton to edit, polish, and mix the mostly finished MPC beat. But 85-90% of the beat is completed on the MPC. Maybe I’ll upgrade in two years but I don’t know yet. I agree with you though, anyone coming in with no other gear could produce hits on an MPC alone, especially now that there are VSTs in stand alone mode.

[@PoliPopo]

I agree all gear is needed but if nothing in the studio and for one to get started , the x is a big $ but is worth it for sure.

I bought a live 4 weeks ago and Im absolutely in love with it. Now im considering getting an X as well because of the extra knobs.... thanks for sharing. How do you handle autosampling arps or sequences? Would that work or is that not working because its always tight to the current bpm you set when autosampling?

[@Curious_Skeptic]

My head spins with all the options out there! I sold off my hardware synth collection (way too much stuff that never got used), and just bought into Maschine MK3, Jam & S88 MK2 (all new). Hardly got to try it out yet. I second guess myself all the time. Akai MPC X has been on the radar, as it gives you Maschine environment without the laptop. Except, if you aren't a hip hop or 'BEAT' maker, it seems limited. Hard to beat the creativity of a hardware synth to adjust all those knobs and sliders in real time. I'm hoping I can get my head around all the new gear out there and find something that will inspire and still be fun to work with. Nice video and good points on the Akai MPC X. Nice looking unit. Just have to keep researching on my own to figure out what is the best solution.

Hey I appreciate you watching and leaving a comment I made a video not too long ago talking about how the MPC isn't just for hip hop anymore you can make any genre of music with this thing I'm pretty sure it just saves me a lot of space in my studio I consolidated and I bought the X I'm never looking back I do have some newer gear 2 but isn't necessary the X does it all for me.

[@Curious_Skeptic]

@@PoliPopo I'm going to play around with Maschine/Jam for a bit, and see how that goes. I still have a few bucks on the side for another 'toy', and Akai MPC X might be it. The #1 feature I love is the Qlink Knobs with the little OLEDs. I believe the more organized the instrument surface, the more likely you can focus on creativity rather than menu diving and frustrations with DAW/Computer issues.

[@PoliPopo]

@@Curious_Skeptic yes sir, I had machine and it was awesome I just couldn't figure out the workflow Akai was more natural to me but yeah that box is beast

[@IdaPappy1]

Thanks for this! I was considering buying an MPC X because I really want to get back to what I have a passion for and that’s making music, your video definitely sold it for me, I appreciate your honesty, thank you!

[@PoliPopo]

Yes sir and thank you for your support, the x let's me make music at will, it was rough back in the day to record but yes this box does it all. Anything I can help with let me know. And thank you again for watching.

[@IdaPappy1]

Thanks again! @@PoliPopo

[@Str8representing]

I'd like to hear more facts about the box. This was quite emotional review in my opinion.

[@PoliPopo]

Will do and thank you. I can definitely see where you're coming from,at the end of the video I have a playlist pop up you click on that I have over 300 videos covering the MPC Happy New year to you

[@brunothiery377]

Ce n’est pas la mpc que je veux acheter,mais vos talents de musicien arrangeur …

[@housemachine509]

🤙🤙 I agree.

[@alyeska4226]

Ooh, that Sledge sounds delicious!

[@PoliPopo]

I auto sampled 101 Sledge sounds that I will also be sending out when you join the email list I just put a video out for two-week world collaborating challenge. If you're interested let me know is the first run but I'm sure it'll catch up fast. [e-mail]

[@peterbaland451]

I think it wold be good if you could make a whole song in it, just to skip the computer. I have lots of hardware sequensers and drummachines to work with too.

[@PoliPopo]

This thing has song mode,you can definitely arrange sequences to song.

[@symphonicclown]

[@PoliPopo]

Nooooo did you do the update?

[@symphonicclown]

Poli Popo yeah I did and then the problems started... I have a 2 year warranty so I’m going to be taking it back to the guitar center and get another one

[@KultClassic]

Great vid but dammn the balancing on one palm mad eme feel a little ill 😱 and the waldorf keyboard was dope

[@clarencepearson7036]

I'm get one real soon.

[@PoliPopo]

Whatever you do if you ever need anything feel free to hit me up if I can't find the answer I'm sure I know someone who can. Thanks for the support man I appreciate it

[@LurkingCrassZero]

Dude what is your regular job!? You holding that MPC X up like it's as light as a birthday cake!

[@PoliPopo]

😂 I got a ton of comments about that I’m a pretty good pizza guy 💯

[@SLACKPLAN9]

three words - I like mine.

[@vegetok]

Hello dear Polipopo I’ve noticed your eyes after few years in a low light environment are more red and looking exhausted hope you’re vision is ok mate check them sometimes ! Bless ya Honestly

[@PoliPopo]

I work a lot but yeah I should definitely get more rest. I’m just trying to get things done but I appreciate you looking out 💯

[@pgtips4240]

I have searched dozens of videos of this and the live version and I haven't found ANY video demonstrating how to actually make real music from it. There are plenty rhythms an drum beats but no actual real music. To me it's just a hip hop beat rythm maker but it's not used for making full arranged songs.

[@PoliPopo]

The MPC is not just for hip hop anymore, I make blues, country ,and "beats" on mine. I appreciate you for watching and for your support.

[@digitaldiezel5870]

Also don’t pay attention to the dork in the past post you mentioned, he was trolling you. I saw his post....he could have made his point differently and EVERYBODY on KZbin is soliciting so....for him i say...whatever!! Stay true and stay humble!!!

[@PoliPopo]

Thanks bro i appreciate that a lot

[@MrBinsique]

Force or MPC X?

[@PoliPopo]

MPC X 💯

[@MrBinsique]

@@PoliPopo THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!! for your helpful messages.

[@PoliPopo]

@@MrBinsique I didn't mean to be so short but the MPC X hands down.

[@MrBinsique]

@@PoliPopo Hello. I am looking for this machine to replace my DAW. I compose pop-rock and blues songs. I have seen good expansion with acoustics instruments like drums, double bass, violins, brass... This machine is not only oriented for electronic music? Do you think the arrange mode that is present on the beta version of the Force will arrive for the MPC X? Thank you.

[@PoliPopo]

@@MrBinsique I don't know I think they're trying to keep both of those devices separate

[@dieselboyloco]

Dope Video.

[@gc12n2]

Thanks for the truth bro !

[@elisaverdina2231]

Looks like you about to drop it mate 😥

[@PoliPopo]

I'm not going to lie I never did it again lol

[@RicoN.glacius]

You are very good with information but not very entertaining... I love your videos but I never heard your music before. Your set up looks very excessive and intimidating in a dark room. Invest in some lighting. Change those things for more subscribers. For instance how about an intro track for your videos with a tag line in it. Also, you speak very clearly but very slow. Look alive... Keep up the good work though.. I am a good listener but most people have a visual learning style.

[@PoliPopo]

Much appreciated 💯

[@miss.wright3035]

Dude, take some happy pills for your videos...your down low is making me sad.

[@PoliPopo]

Hahahaha will do and thanks.

[@miss.wright3035]

@@PoliPopo I owe you props for the good info and your experience. Can you send me a private youtube msg so I can share some experiences with you ?
