Understanding The MPC Sample Based Workflow For Beginners MPC ONE + - NervousCook$

[@akeyunturned2256]

Some people have a knack for teaching and explaining; for creating tutorials. Some people don’t. You actually do, and do an outstanding job. Thanks.

[@The1AndOnlyMichaelAngelo]

I'm so thankful for this tutorial as well. I just picked up the MPC Key 37 which IS the MPC ONE+, with a keyboard. I've been all over the place looking for tutorials for the Key 37, but I was searching for wrong thing. Instead, I searched for MPC ONE+ tutorials and voila, however, this video was the most thoroughly explained one out there. It was explained in a very certain way that I could understand, as-well-as detailed. This guy definitely had a knack and is awesome at it.

[@nervouscooks]

Thank you! I appreciate that 👍

[@nervouscooks]

[@Casey-cq9xp]

Sample edit and program edit is the most confusing part of the MPC. Nothing about the MPC is intuitive, but once you learn it, it's an amazing system. This video is great for beginers and intermediate users alike

[@nervouscooks]

Thanks! 👍

[@404OG]

and then it goes and updates and you have to relearn it all again

Best Guide for MPC One beginners to understand the UI out there! i tried many.. this one made made me finally get it!

[@nervouscooks]

Glad I could help! 👍🙂

[@pommedapi3847]

You don´t have to wait until the loop finish playing if you push 2 times on the stop button. I learned so much with this video, this is the video i was looking for. Thank you for your kind way of teaching so good!!

[@nervouscooks]

Thank you that’s a great tip! I use it all the time now 👍👍

[@jodyglover7429]

I can appreciate how you don't get sidetracked into various aspects of the work flow. There are so many paths to get lost in with this device. If I learned anything, it's to stay in focus and try not to take it all on at once. There's so much here to learn.

[@2tallcharles99]

Dude, this video is so helpful. You've eloquently cleared up so many of the confusing parts of the MPC One. I had stopped using mine because I didn't get fluent with it fast enough, but I'm going to bust it back out and have another go. Thanks!

[@nervouscooks]

Hey you’re welcome. They are great samplers but very tricky to navigate. I was soo confused at first when I bought mine 😂 I’m glad I could help. 👍

[@DubiousEngineering]

Dude, absolutely invaluable learning! Sincerely appreciate this - only got mine yesterday and now know how to use it thanks to you! .. a small tip, if you double tap the stop button it will cease any sample that’s still playing out. Love and respect, dubious engineering on KZbin subbed!

New to the MPC world and just got an MPC One+ last week. Not knocking other tutorials out there because they are good. But you have a way of breaking things down to the amoeba in a concise way, which is what I needed. You helped me resolve an issue that was driving me crazy. Excellent teacher. I feel way more comfortable using it after watching this. You have a new follower. Appreciate you. 👊🏿

[@TheHeggahegga]

Mate, this is such a good video. I bought a One+ about 6 months ago and have been on and off with it cos I found it quite confusing. This is a brilliant breakdown of the stuff you need to know and a clear explanation of the differences between sample edit/programme edit, tracks vs programmes etc. Would love to see more videos on the MPC on your channel, particularly as we move to 3.0.

[@TheHeggahegga]

Just picked up a couple of your sample packs there too, cheers.

After struggling to get full productions using the SP404MK2, I finally bought the Key37. It really is everything I'd hoped and way more! I'm old enough to remember how much tech used to cost. These things are crazy powerful music production machines...and they are fairly affordable! Happy days!

[@Schemez-16vhiphopbeatz]

Just got my mpc one today not had a chance to use it yet all dive in tomorrow. I was a circuit rhythm user but thought I'd upgrade to the mpc hopefully after watching tutorials I can navigate it easier

[@nervouscooks]

@@Schemez-16vhiphopbeatz check out MPC 3.0 dropping soon. It changes the workflow a lot and is probably easier to digest for newer users. I like this traditional way of working but we’ll see what 3.0 is like when it’s released 👍

[@remyvegamedia]

I finally understand non-destructive slices vs. pad parameters! In Ableton terms, it's sort of like keeping chops in Simpler vs. converting chops to a Drum Rack, respectively. Big help. Thanks!

[@Joeybonez]

What are the pros and cons of doing that?

[@remyvegamedia]

@ With pad parameters you can copy the same sample and edit start and end points without affecting either the original slice or copy. With non-destructive slices, each copy of a slice is changed by editing the sample in the track. There's probably a lot more to it and I'm just getting reacquainted with MPC stuff, but that's the main one for me.

[@marksquire4825]

Just got a ONE+ and this helps a ton! You have a great way of being simple and direct but friendly!

[@boomboombaby9140]

Before I got my MPC my brother gave me the MPC 2 software. I used keys to pads to play the typing keys on my MacBook like 16 MPC pads . I say it was easy to figure out less than 10 minutes of me using MPC software for the first time in my life I put together drum patterns, instruments and had a beat from scratch going. Everything else was all down hill from there way easier than when I first use FL studios lol FL was 10x harder. MPC software everything is in your face if you have common sense and can read you can figure it out . When I got my MPC live 2 I already knew how to use it because it was like the software. The software is designed sort of like a digital MPC .

[@J-Hz]

[@adamwilcox6405]

I'm completely new to this game and still researching. I want a device where I can program "songs" drums mainly, but the facility to add a few bits would be a nice addition but far from essential. So far the only device I can find that has a "song mode" is the Alesis SR-18 but it seems quite primitive. Would this do it, is there something better or am I looking for something that doesn't exist?

[@marlonbrown5763]

I have 1tb memory card because I need the sample time but it only gives Me 59 seconds of sample time and I can't hear the sample as I'm playing it why is that

[@folkerugge4990]

Extremely helpful video for beginners like me! Thank you so much! I noticed, that somewhere around the first third (I'm not quite sure where exactly) you happen to create en midi program to your track - by accident it seems. Right next you make sure to delete that program, because it was considered a mistake. I never thought it would be actually "created" and take up space by just swiching program type on the "sequence-bar"... Is that true or did I misunderstand? One other realted question: Is there a place to get an overview of the whole project and all that's included - in one view (very important!) Maybe in the MPC software on the PC...(?) Thanks again for sharing your greate knowledge and experience 🙂

[@comparisonisthethiefofjoy9452]

Are the maschine and mpc workflows super different? And if which so which do you prefer

[@nervouscooks]

I think there are definite similarities but I would say the Maschine is easier to get going with. I actually love the MPC now I understand it but at first I wasn’t crazy about it. I would say the MPC feels more complex but also a little more capable. It sort of does everything and I definitely found a few limitations on the Maschine. Ultimately though it comes down to personal preference. If you’re thinking of buying I’d definitely recommend finding a local retailer and getting hands on with both before parting with any cash. My opinion is just from my experience and needs but you might want something totally different. 👍🙂

[@comparisonisthethiefofjoy9452]

@@nervouscookswhat limitations do you see in the maschine?

[@nervouscooks]

@@comparisonisthethiefofjoy9452 nothing major but the MPC just gives you more options. You can auto sample, easy to make samples mono which is an odd thing the Maschine doesn’t do. You can layer up to four samples each with their own effects and offset the sample layers to play at different times. It’s just a device that for everything I’ve needed so far it has delivered. I’m sure it has its flaws though. They all do. I totally love the Maschine too and the pads on those are definitely the best. 🙂

[@samuelmccann3008]

🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@JackJohnaon]

Do you feel that the mpc is “better” for sampling than the machine ? And if so why

[@nervouscooks]

I wouldn’t say better I think they both have an easy time sampling and chopping. I think the MPC has a few more features because of its complexity with layers and it does some cool stuff with extending tails on sample chops etc. I’m firmly in love with my MPC but honestly if you’re good at sampling then the Maschine is great too. 👍

[@Azitizdatwavz]

Does the one standalone?

[@nervouscooks]

Yes indeed! That’s how I’m using it here. You can use it as a controller for the software too. 👍

[@snörre23]

Your video makes me consider selling all of my stuff and giving up the idea of making electronic music. I have a lot of modular and some synths and drummachines and gadgets and wanted to finally start sampling sounds of that and making some tracks and considered the MPC (or Digitakt) - but watching this gives me very strong "this is not what i want to do" feelings. I know what i want to achieve but this workflow is terrible. I am really shocked. Should mention that i also never used a DAW, i started with all the now classic Roland Machines and Synths and an MS20 in the 1990s and only recently started to buy modular and some Behringer and other boxes. Well yea but this is terrible.

[@RooftopKoreansMusic]

Well A) this MPC is terrible, I bought one and hate it, and B) he is terrible at explaining it, it takes him WAY to long to slog through things that are very very simple before moving on. That isn't even just him, it's a human phenomenon, if you want to learn the finer points about ANYTHING you seemingly have to sit through people belaboring the most basic information that everyone already knows OVER AND OVER in the hopes that you'll learn something new. For instance, I'm LITERALLY just trying to figure out how you have multiple MIDI clips on this piece of trash... it seems like YOU CAN'T, you have to make a new "sequence" which means you need to copy EVERYTHING along with a copy of the first MIDI track JUST to be able to keep all the layers with a new clip... instead of, you know, just allowing the user to play various midi clips. Also the touch screen on this is horrible, AND the software that it runs on is actually free and you can just download it and use it on a laptop... however, if you want software integrated WITH this thing, that is NOT free... you'd think there would be a way to simply output that screen to a monitor so that you could see it and navigate it with a mouse. NOPE, what you CAN do is buy additional software that makes this thing into a controller, but runs off of a computer, rather than USING THE *****ing software in the hardware you JUST BOUGHT and letting you control THAT with a mouse and monitor. Absolutely horrible design through and through.

[@snörre23]

@@RooftopKoreansMusic What do you prefer to use ?

[@RooftopKoreansMusic]

@@snörre23 WELL, ableton live, but it's also shit... the reason I bought this was albton CANNOT send midi AND have it sync with drums (or anything) in the DAW. Abelton Live is so bad that Midi out (some ***ing how) can even have two hardware units sync without messing with a "hardware compensation," which sounds impossble, but I've seen and heard it first hand.. it's PATHETIC. There are numerous hour long videos on KZbin were people talk about how "they fixed Ableton's timing issues" only to upload a subsequent video a month later saying "wait, never mind... still a HUGE PROBLEM" Other DAWS like bitwig can... but bitwig isn't as developed as ableton live.
