Hi Rob, I tried FL's stem Seperation, very honestly I wasn't happy with the results. I tried quite a few songs, the best results that I got was from Stem Roller and RipX. One thing I noticed though for different songs and instrumentions some work better than other, happens almost all the times.

I just had to sub... I pick mines up today from guitar center.. these drums make me excited to cook up on that thing.. scoring a 4000 for a $899 is insane... good condition too..

My 4000 comes in tomorrow... scored one from guitar center.. 90s underground hip hop is my bud language B....

Same here,I don’t sell beats I do full projects with artists that respect the craft as much as I do.

also love 4000 with original plastic sides. it looks more like Mecha ^^

the bass sound is choice 👌👌

Does this also apply to an MPC 1000?

If Linn was so great why didn't he just create more great ideas without Akai? The Original 2 MPCs (60, 60II and 3K) are really the culmination of Roger Linn's ideas and Akai's technology not just some grand idea Linn had. Probably the thing that hurt Linn the most was the success of the MPC's because it made people have high expectations of him which required $$$$ that just weren't available to him. Not even sure the Tempest can be considered a win.

Epic mix:)

💪💪👏👏

Shiiit the 303 birthed a whole friggin movement. I just bought it . I need a step by step tutorial on how to set it up i hardly have time to read the manual.

Big respect to the other MPC3000LE owners. I have #0538 modded out with fat pads, blue LEDs, Blue LCD screen, internal SCSI2SD card reader, Vailixi OS 3.50 personalized chips, all new Alps tact switches 32MB RAM and VGA monitor output connection. Cheers from the UK!🇺🇸🇬🇧

Some songs separate easily. Some, not so much. Moises does a good job with most of the songs, but not all. A tough separation is when the guitar and bass are playing the same notes like in a heavy rock riff. A good demo would show a side-by-side audio comparison using a song that doesn't separate well on another platform.

Is there some setting I need to change? As this is no where near the quality I am getting out of it.

Freaking sucks Akai should be putting batteries into the MPC range as stock and standard soon. Batteries should be advancing soon now. Carrying around that heavy azz brick called the MPC One isn’t one of life’s joys in its self but adding power brick on top of (beneath) a drum machine of a brick is completely egregious. Plus that MPC gets hot as heck on your lap and that battery might add to that. I did all this about 3.5 years ago when the MPC brick-o first dropped. Sold it cause it’s just still too bulky for travel.

dope hahaaa!

This one goes RETARDED!!! 🔥

this dude is really asking "Why" about a stem separator. Video is over. a $10 stem separator at that.

same. i love my 303. it crapped out about 5 years ago (stkll haven't got it fixed) but the distortion, the overdrive, the lpf/overdrive, the pitch, the verb, the phaser, flanger etc!!!! so quality. I had a 32mb card for 16min 44.1/16bit, 32 min 22.025/12 bit. and 10 bit made it 6 times the bit rate and the carbon footprint. awesome machine, when I saw that one issue of Wax Poetics with Doom on the back cover holding the 303? Son, I was in fucking heaven

I don't sell my beats either- I totally agree with you on the reasons and motivations behind it- I don't currently have any big hits or collabs with major artists, but I'm ok with that- If something blows up, believe me, I'd love it and be extremely excited about that- For me, there's something to be said about not letting just anyone have a beat and put something i don't align with over it- I'd absolutely love to be at the point where i can do this full time and not have to worry about money and expenses, i love music- At the same time, I'm not willing to "sell out" or just "give away" my music for pennies and have someone own it... i definitely agree that maintaining control is very important- Love your work man, it would be fun to meet you-

When you were cycling through samples, I was like, yeah that's the one, and you chose the same trailing echo- We have very similar taste in samples- DOPE beat man 👌

Dope idea with audio commentary

Yooooo thanks for linking me to this on insta this morning! You a real one!

This is such a great video. Thanks for sharing these jewels

Why the fuck are producers even supporting this shit? Always justifying it with nonsense like it's ''innovative'' lool. In 10 years we will all be redundant and guess what? we helped them.

why am I always coming back here

2024. Still so on point!

Dude I just tried serato & was blown away at how bad it was - it could do drums fine but everything else was staggeringly awful, utterly unusable. MPC stems has been decent so far but it's still new & needs some fine tuning - I'll have to look into this option now because this sounds wildly on point, good lookin out fam

That’s awesome cause I just flipped that this week too! ❤ grimey sample

Just started using mine again after years using first the X and then the One. The newer MPCs have some good features but the 4000 sounds alot better and can go up to 96k. Its a pain with file transfers though.

2:46-3:20 💯

Awe yeah, I use to own the 3000. I wished I never sold it,

Thanks for sharing bro. I just bought the one today used. Could you do a video, or do you have a video on how to use the plug-ins in standalone. Thanks

Is there a good cheap but simple stem separation software i can get thats good for cassette instrument/vocal separation? Im new with this stem separation technology but can remix some amazing old tape recordings of bands rehearsals or shows, demos, ect,, ive been in through the years & finally hear each part!! Im trained in multitrack recording and all that, just need to dive into this stem tecn & do it the simplest yet effective way avaliable!

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Can’t imagine composing on a mpc 3000 with chops from the Ipad. Valixi is that bad ?

Why is it better and a side by side would confirm your opinion but i think Xrip is the best!

Im excited.. 20 years ago the closest I could get to stems was to hard pan vinyl from certain labels when sampling and then painstakingly filter/eq.. its amazing how far things have come for beatmakers today to have these tools that open a world of resources that are relatively affordable and at their fingertips. but as with DJs who today utilise controllers/tools that autobeatmatch, it also means we are obliged to not get lazy and raise the bar by investing energy into elevating other aspects of the sound if we have technology doing the graft for us. I agree with the quality concern aspect of your argument as some stem extractions Ive heard sound very tainted, so I do expect a wave of muddy sounding remixes now stemming is set to become commonplace in production gear, despite it being primitive.

🦾🦾🦾

I see your point, brother. All it's going to do is clean up the sound a little. Maybe give us the ability to work with stuff we weren't able to do before. Artifacts...

Dope arrangement, keep it up brother!! 🥊🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🪖💎🔊

Those are some FIRE CHOPS right my brother, DOPE!!

Bro ... this is killing me ... I know this sample and can hear the song in my head. Just don't know the name of it. Not the sample itself but the known beat it came from.

crazy dope

That is fucking sick!!!

Fam, this was helpful. Thanks for posting knowledge. Blessings!

How does the Akai Mpc 4000 sound being ran through the Analog Heat?

lol when noobs think they found a gem.
