[@victorakauola]

[@jairogarcia6410]

this gave me the chills

[@BrandonChapaBeats]

[@AveMcree]

I'm saving right now no BS.... Thank you based AKAI

[@fletcherberkley9441]

Ave , hell u a beast too , I like hearing yo beats boy boy ...!!!!

[@AveMcree]

thanks man, I got a long ways to go but I'm glad you like what you hear.

[@fletcherberkley9441]

We all do fam... No matter how long u been doing it , you never master the game ...

[@AveMcree]

fletcher berkley very true.

[@jimmythegent9190]

fam they edited that shit like re rocked out on it. I not stupid. I got mines yesterday. bit of a learning curve with the MPC LIVE

[@shiestyopp3741]

Bro im gon' go head and sell my MPC Ren and cop that MPC-X.

[@YTOW85]

@Th3 VERZE yea i bought it from him

[@EliteOnTheBeat]

That boy Zay don't play! GODEEEZAM (In Ice cubes voice) I think this has a HUGE market for beat makers who are first starter out. All they have to do is purchase this and then start making beats on the fly. It is on the expensive side but the new comer doesn't have to worry about what computer to buy, what interface, what sounds, what plugins, what VST's, etc. So for that reason alone i see this actually doing pretty well.

[@confidencebeatz6762]

yo this is a fope video man can you do more of these reaction videos

[@AveMcree]

if AKAI keeps picking the right producers I will... This was dope

[@savagetdk]

shit really slaps man sick channel Traptendo hahaha had to subscribe and yeah man this shit is sick how much they charging for this?

[@RemixSample]

Yes MPC live is gonna be dope. Finally a proper stereo sampler and lots of storage. My poor little Electribe with 25 MB is a complete joke!

[@AveMcree]

yeah, the ES2 is straight trash... At least the OP-1 is still viable but Teenage Engineering actually knows how to make hardware.

[@toff1974]

Whilst I don't completely disagree with what you say, the E2S is a 1/4 of the price of the live.. And there was nothing here that couldn't be done on the E2S. Make a more complex composition or perform live and yes, this will leave the E2S in the dust. Also, the MPC workflow is killer . 5 minutes on the MPC, probably an 1/2 an hour on the Electribe. Take the electribe for what it is.. a sketching tool (finish with an export to ableton) or a fair drum sample player in a bigger setup. Please make a fair comparison!

[@toff1974]

To add, if I could afford a live or the x I would be at the front of the queue day of release.

[@biggmixxo]

I like the concept of shooting it like video. Dope look

[@2kshortgod554]

Lmao aye ave we both had the head bop

[@tyanttaylor60]

that intro was so crazy

[@AveMcree]

OMG yeah 3x!

[@redjackettv8198]

I'm halfway saved up to buy the MPC X lol... Gotta sell this MPC Ren and I'll have my upgrade money😁

[@redjackettv8198]

dajudgementday thanks for the information

[@isaacgodbolt9244]

real nice

[@TheDjeasily]

what's the hype all about? sounds like some stock sounds out of Fruity Loops. not feeling it, man.

[@MakingMadBeats]

They should have done some videos with legends on the MPC like Premo, Showbiz, Large Pro or Pete Rock instead of Zaytoven... Not feelin this video at all!

[@TuMalditaMadre]

MetaphorHipHop can't trust a producer who admitted to telling people to dumb their lyrics down. That's the state of hip hop. That and using the same sounds and sounding like everyone else.

[@EliteOnTheBeat]

Thats why i'm sure not to use the same sounds as everyone else. I purchase expansion packs from Ni and use those drums a lot of the times and nobody is going to have those drums unless they purchased that exclusive pack. Also Industrykits.com and beats24-7.com gots banging sounds as well.

[@blvkkgoku3359]

Man he went all the way in!!!!! #mercy

[@DocTheopolis]

Akai: send me one, too!

[@curtissmithnupe3]

I see the comments on oh this a basic beat but don't no one know yo ass..Zay been doin this shit since 98..that shit so dope I downloaded it..basic my ass..he just make it look easy

[@txfaulk795]

big ups bro

[@arzavianharris6817]

Nice video

[@robertsyrett1992]

Saving my pennies.

[@AveMcree]

me too....... This makes me want to sell my ES2, Tom Cat, and the Mother 32 today!

[@robertsyrett1992]

RIP eurorack modular dreams!

[@AveMcree]

Robert Syrett I'm kind of glad I didn't get the Drumbrute yet

[@robertsyrett1992]

LOL, I had the same thought.

[@dnch]

i would keep the mother.. otherwise i agree)

[@ZionDaddy10]

Isn't this the same Mpc that hellfire has been using on machine masters for last few months??

[@AveMcree]

I thought he had the touch?

[@m-chopbeats7526]

ZionDaddy10 hellfire was using the touch which is the non standalone version

[@indicastrain4127]

My thing is...if it's standalone, then where them synth sounds comin from?! If u cant use vsts without the software? Or maybe I don't fully understand n don't know wtf I'm talking about.

[@mmhcreates]

I think in this case they meant Standalone to mean beatmaking without computer.

[@jonblakk73ab]

Brian micheal cox version is a lot more dope

[@reddvest]

jonblakk73ab yep! far more dope.

[@Mikeshyne100]

jonblakk73ab check out Tim Kelly.

[@ernestenoch6436]

d4vzGotBeatz you trippin, Tim Kelly,& Micheal Cox true musicians

[@jasonkidd7287]

jonblakk73ab I wouldn't say doper just two different vibes but both were pretty dope.

[@2kshortgod554]

Never

[@gambleproductions6776]

Yo so how do you load the vsts on the mpc? I know you can load the individual samples through USB. do you still have 2 have your controller hooked 2 the computer and control the sounds from there?

[@AveMcree]

man, if there is one thing AKAI does right its their selection of sounds. The stock sounds are very usable as they only hire the best guys for the job. Top that off with AKAI having the best keygrouping system of all hardware drum samplers (2nd goes to Teenage Engineering's OP-1) you would need VST's. VST's lagged so far behind hardware for years it wasn't until 5 years ago they were considered a viable option. The MPC touch, LIVE, and X can be plugged up to a PC/Laptop to use VST synth's. You will find using stock sounds more convenient though workflow wise.

[@gambleproductions6776]

Ave Mcree that's what I loved about my 1000 when it worked. the work flow was the best

[@johnpettiford116]

So if you use a midi keyboard, is it really standalone? I'm confused by this whole "standalone" movement, lol.

[@AveMcree]

John Pettiford yes, because he's using it with MPC and nothing else.

[@johnpettiford116]

I mean, I guess bro. It's hooked up to the studio monitors and maybe even his computer (He looks up at the screen at one point). I thought the point of standalone was portability, but based on what you're saying it's just about all the sounds coming out of one box. If they really wanted to emphasize standalone, they should have made the only equipment a pair of headphones. Once you start plugging in all these peripherals there's nothing "standalone" about it. I think I'm gonna have to do a video about this whole situation, lol.

[@johnpettiford116]

PS, Just subbed. Thanks for the dope producer content!

[@patrickedmknd9333]

that's that bring juice man outta retirement feat guwop! the real one not the clone! slap hrd af!

[@DaisyAge1999]

so....what about "sampling"???.... #DITC

[@alexriesenbeck]

Have you seen any of the other videos out there? This is finally a sampler that has a touch-to-slice feature! You can tap the pads as you play the sample and it will make a non-destructive chop on the desired pad... Incredible.

[@youngin9239]

How the fuck wiill you use vst plugins with standalone

[@AveMcree]

thats not the point of a standalone unit but you can plug it up to the PC and use VSTs. Producer's like Zaytoven been making smashers for years without VST's. It's not impossible

[@TheDougSpot]

How is it the standalone challenge when most of what he did was on the keys?

[@AveMcree]

because he did it all with the MPC live... The live support midi keyboards... Midi keyboards dont have sounds in it.

[@TheDougSpot]

Ave Mcree That doesn't make sense. You don't call working in a DAW a standalone challenge. This is just pure marketing

[@AveMcree]

DGLS he isn't using a DAW. Its a standalone unit because you can do every aspect of production without the use of other modules or a PC. Another example of a standalone unit is Teenage Engineering's OP-1. That machine has a synth engine, sequencers, 4 track tape recorder, effects, etc for production.

[@TheDougSpot]

Ave Mcree You're not getting my point. If a machine with peripherals attached to it is standalone, then a DAW would be considered the same, but it's not. Standalone means you don't use anything else to get the job done. A motif/fantom/Kronos is standalone, not this. This is just another beat machine, nothing new

[@HIEROCHARM]

That track is average at best. And what's with the reaction vid? If he thought that was fire, and he's a producer himself, it would be hard for me to value his opinion.

[@mmhcreates]

A reaction vid is akin to a comment being a written reaction. So here we are all reacting. You do not need to value is opinion or base an entire judgement on a single analysis. Enjoy and explore.
