- In this MPC Live 2/MPC One Tutorial, I break down the different ways to use warp/real-time timestretch to build perfect loops that match the tempo and key you would like. Most of these techniques work using MPC Beats and MPC Software, but best results will be when you use a MPC controller like the Akai One/Live or MPC X.

Best SAMPLE chopping MPC video
🙏🙏🙏
i know Im asking randomly but does anyone know of a way to log back into an instagram account?
I was dumb forgot the login password. I would appreciate any tips you can offer me
@Jamal Carlos instablaster =)
Thanks Bro!!! I was doing the warp feature wrong.... I'll be trying this tonight... #Salute Rich B from MPC Gang group.....
Noob here. This helped a lot. Thanks.
Thanks for watching! 🫡
Legit, thank u so much for this vid. Was banging my head against the wall trying to learn this MPC One but you really explained it well in a practical context. Thanks man
Glad I could help bro!
Just got my mpc one and I’ve been having some beautiful chop and this was my major problem with them being off on tempo . Thanks you for this video! Very helpful
Just started to make my hands dirty on this great piece of gear. And it is pretty overwhelming at first. So, this is really helpfull and keeps me motivated. Thanks a lot. 👍🏻
Congrats on the pickup! I'm glad I can help bro. Takes a little time to wrap your head around the workflow, but once it clicks, you're gonna have a lot of fun!
Agree. Just got mine today. These types of videos help out a lot. When I get it all down. It’s all going to be 🔥.
Super Helpful!! Best chops lesson I seen so far!!!
Def the best time warp video I've come across and picked up some other useful tips! thanks!
Thanks for watching!
One of the easiest ways to do this is to warp the transients so they line up with the time grid. No thought process needed. Great vid,
stay safe and strong. God Bless.
I'd love to see that in action! Thanks for the tip 💯🤜💥🤛
I'd like too see that as well
Id Like to see that
Where’s the demonstration? I definitely want to see this. 🤔😁
Crazy because I was literally figuring this out yesterday. Definitely was the least utilized function in my workflow. About to get busy! Respect bro!
Once you get the formula locked in, it's hard not to do it all the time because you can always change the pitch/tuning or tempo so easily. It's probably my favorite feature of the 2.0+ software/firmware. Thanks for watching! 💯💯💯🙏🤜💥🤛
Great explanation, your videos have fast tracked the learning curve with the mpc live 2 and all its features, Thanks!
That's what I like to hear bro! Thanks for watching and for the great feedback 💯💯💯
nice ! im a new Akai force user and was struggling with this last night - this has helped : thanks !
Wo man!! Thanks for this one! Defenetly will help my workflow
Dope video Bro! This definitely helped clear up some sampling issues/questions I was having! Definitely will be checking out more of your vids bc your music style and production is on point! Preciate the assist with the knowledge!
I appreciate that bro! Thanks for tuning in 🤜💥🤛
You the man! This helped a lot. Really appreciate your detailed content!
This is freaking Gold. Thanks for the gemz!!
Gonna try it out right now)) thanks a lot, man! This brilliant advices especially for beginners!
Dang, I'm learning something new each time I watch your vids. Dope man, thank you!
That’s what I like to hear! 🙌🤜💥🤛
so so helpful thanks!
How did I not know this lol. Preciate you bro!
Thank you Sight. Awesomely helpful video!!
Glad I could help bro!
Always super clear info! Thx for doing it!🙏
🙏 I appreciate that bro!
thanks for this still haven't seen a video on warping that made sense but this seems fairly easy to understand. gonna try this out now
Thanks that’s a new one for me. Thanks for sharing.
awesome this cleared some things up!
finally made the leap to the MPC live 2. Long time FL studio user who is just so sick of mouse clicks.
this tutorial has been hella helpful 🔥🔥🤝
Dope tutorial I really enjoyed this video. I got a better understanding on how the warping works.
🤜💥🤛 I appreciate the feedback! Hoping to document more of these quick techniques on the fly, maybe with a little more sleep next time, lol.
This is dope. I always wondered how warp really worked on AKAI software. Thanks for the tutorial. ✌️💯🔥
Dope tutorial as usual Sight! You have a great way of explaining things for real
I appreciate that bro! I was definitely tired and my brain was shutting down. I can tell by how many "umms" and brain lapses I had, lol. I'm glad it was somewhat coherent though 😅🤜💥🤛
I like working with my splice loops. Good video.
I have to say you explain it so good a kid would understand I’ve learned a lot from you just in the past few weeks
🙌🙌🙌 That’s what I like to hear!
Spot on spot on bro
Useful as always bro. Thanks. 👊🏽
🙏🤜💥🤛
Very helpful bruh 🔥🔥🔥
Excellent video
Thank you!
Super helpful tip. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Need this! Good look champ 🦾
great video!
Thank you for sharing bro
Thanks for watching 💯💯💯
Awesome tutorial, you keep shaving weeks or months off of my development😁. I keep finding reasons to love my box as well. Now I get why people become so attached😆.
You need to open up a school for beginners bro. Sign me up. 👍🏿
I appreciate that bro! I'm trying to secure an office space so I can do things like that. I'll definitely be launching a course this year as well.
Sign me up as well !!!
Dope bro you be bringing the dope content
🤜💥🤛 Appreciate it bro! Had a rough week, trying to keep the show going with the livestreams, lol.
🔥🔥🔥🔥Thx
Thanks.
Dope video. Philly in the building. Peace.
You a professional
Thanks for this super duper 3rd level hints. Wish Akai could do the same. On the other hand I wouldn’t be landed on your cool channel.
Thanks for the info. Sub added!
Welcome to the channel!
Gems!
Thanks for the insight. I was chopping my samples down to individual pieces and assigning each one from the loop to a pad to warp so that I could make the entire loop fit as perfectly on tempo as I could. Now I can use the edit zone and turn from current to all feature. Something I knew nothing about. Thanks. I just subscribed. One other problem I'm experiencing is the lack of being about to get my Live 2 to connect in controller mode to the software. For some odd reason the x86 driver will not install when following the second step of the process to install the 2.11.3 software update. At step two I received a message the Microsoft driver file failed to install. The file was found on my (C) drive, user, "name", app data, local, temp, inside a newly created folder. I tried to do the install from there only to fail again but was allowed to uninstall and repair. It completed the install. But When I tried to do step two again I was messaged to complete step two again. I was in a loop to repeat the same process over and over. Please help me.
Wow nice video!!!
I hope it helped 💯💯💯
@@labandlegacy yea for sure
Wow sh@@@!t bruv! One of the the theme tracks from the Fish that saved Pittsburgh .Now thats diggin. I went to the theater with pops to see that joint.
Bro last time I spoke with U I was using the MK3, but I finally crossed over to the MPC....so now when I wear the hat.....I'm legit...I got the MPC One
😆😆😆🙌 That's wassup! How are you liking it so far?
@@labandlegacy I haven't plugged it up yet, I'm moving into my new place Tuesday
I'll keep U posted!!!!
Congrats on the new place! Keep me posted on the progress. Tag me if you post something @iamsight
Been warping with the Ren, Live and X the way I did it on the 2500: tune a sample 2 semitunes down and pitch shift 2 up. If it's ok stay with it, undo or same procedure, again for more. Cons: in many cases not happy with the pitch shift algorithm and it's not flexible for bpm or key change. Salute!
what’s the difference between tune and semi tone?
Nice Break Down 👁ám$!ght🗣Freshhh Jive Y’all 🔥🔥🔥
Thanks for watching and for the feedback! 🤜💥🤛
Mindblown!! I’ve been setting warp individually for each pad not knowing there was a Current/Multiple/All feature.
me too.
Good video .. on Warping .. and stretching once the release the stem update can you make a video using the stem feature and Warping the section you process . In stem mode ..
please Blessing Fam!
Good, so I get you just for breakfast in Belgium! 👊
Ayyyyyyyyyye! Shoutout to Belgium and my European homies. Thanks for tuning in with me bro, hope your day got started right. I've been using your "get up early" tip to get beats done lately before the little man wakes up, its definitely the most effective way so far 💯💯💯🤜💥🤛
@@labandlegacy hard but good!
Can you make a video on how you screen record your MPC LIVE and also your setup gear you use like camera model your using and mic for video audio. Really interested in a video like that too
Yes, I am planning to do a couple on those. Thanks for asking 🤜💥🤛
epic video , ive been wondering what the warpd does , so am I right in saying its like a time stretch in mpc terms ?
Yessir. Real time timestretch. Probably the only reason I never got into Ableton or Serato Sample, lol. I'm seriously considering getting a Force though, especially if it gets the ability to control Ableton down the road.
Quick question, once you are satisfied with the warp do you time stretch to match the warp?
I came here for this lil bit of info @ 5:09
I have a question love your content by the way but for example say I load in a expansion with drum samples and it also has synth pads or chord samples that part of the pre-made song how do I take that one chord sample on the pad and play it on my keys up the keyboard without the pitch speeding up like chipmunks but stays in key with maschine it is easy I can't figure it out with akai key61 thanks in advance
In program edit you can hit the pad, then hit keyboard icon on top of the screen it will turn that sound into a keygroup. Then go to a new track and select keygroup program and you should see it.
In your opinion, what would be the key factor in you chopping using the Warp feature vs. using a Key Group?
A key group is for pitching "one shot" sounds across the keyboard, and can be used in conjunction with the warp feature to keep the length of the sample the same across the chromatic scale. Warping a program as I did here is for manipulating a series of chopped samples in real time without having to manually timestretch or calculate/do any math. Simply adjust the warp parameters until the chops are to your desired length and pitch.
Great content Sight. I wonder if the Live can handle elastique pro in SA mode.
That's a good question. I honestly wouldn't even mind if we could offline bounce the loop using EP like the Force does now. I've heard there's some major, major updates coming down the line, so fingers crossed! 🤞
@@labandlegacy yea i hope the Live gets the same update the force just got. That was would be a game changer.
@@BritoWorx it may be more 😈
Brooooooo excellent break down...... but the main thing is how🤔 the heck you screen record the MPC 😃😃
I use the Touch for these, lol. It's the main reason I didn't sell it when I got the Live 2.
@@labandlegacy cool, my vids be blurry af..lol....im looking into vlogging cameras now.
@@kirkstate you really can't lose with anything in the last few years. My camera is about 5 years old now. The camera isnt as important as the lighting. You just wanna have a nice, big soft light that's adjustable. I use a $20 clamp lamp with a Walmart LED bulb and a frosted plastic bowl attached rigged to it 🤣🤣🤣 No 🐂💩 Hit me on FB message if you need help with anything bro.
Great video bro! What kind of stand did you buy for the mpc live 2? Any links you can forward me on here? Thanks again sight 🙏🏽
Yessir, I have a video breaking down the stands I use.
@@labandlegacy I actually just peeped it! A little late to your channel but you definitely cover a wide range. Incredible work brother. Thanks again, I’ll be copping one of those stands tho 💯
@@ConsciousFX thanks for watching bro, and welcome to the channel!
Do you have any video tutorials for making boom bap drums? I’m lacking in that area and need to know how to add swing and shift notes. Thank you.
Thanks for watching bro! Yeah I have a few. Off the top of my head my recent one with DJ Premier beat breakdown where I get into his drum techniques, I have a Mobb Deep style breakdown, and Griselda. Most of my beats are boom-bap based
@@labandlegacy thank you 🙏 I will check the videos out.
Debating on getting the live or live 2 I’m definitely sampled based any suggestions
They’re both great and have everything you need to make 🔥 The Live is no longer available though so you would have to buy used, and that’s always a risk. I did a whole video on the Live 2 and explain why I think it’s the best beat machine ever made. Check it out if you have a few minutes. Also if price is an issue check out my link to Zzounds in the description. They have interest free payments for the Live 2
Question about working in the other direction; preparing a sample in controller mode, then working on a beat in standalone... Is it possible to make these types of edits in controller mode with the better time stretch and save it so that it doesn't need to be time stretched in standalone? I'm looking to avoid using the lower quality time stretch when in standalone.
You can either lay out your chops into a loop on a drum track, then hit the pencil and "bounce to sample" or "bounce to audio track" and you will have a new, printed loop. Or you can go into program edit and flatten the pads you have stretched at the top of the program edit screen, but you would probably have to flatten them one by one. You can also manually time stretch the entire sample in standalone which has much better quality. I believe Akai will bring over the Force's ability to use Elastique Pro in standalone though. It was added in the Force 3.0 update I believe. Don't know why they're dragging their feet on it, but I suspect they're trying to sell as many Forces as possible before they do it.
@@labandlegacy great options. Thanks!
And yeah, I hope they hurry up with the next MPC update. Elastique Pro will be welcomed.
Peace be with you....Question : When you save a project using the better elastic time stretch in controller mode, will the sound quality still be the same when you open that project up in standalone ?
Not by default. You should flatten the pad or bounce the loop once you have the desired tempo and pitch. I never go from software to standalone, that's kinda backwards. Standalone is more like a scratchpad, software is where you get things polished.
@@labandlegacy Thanks.....Yeah that makes sense.
@@labandlegacy Thanks.....Yeah that makes sense.
Why is it different when your in controller mode than standalone for that “best warping sound mode” ? Why can’t they integrate that with standalone mode yet? Is it cpu issues?
Warping requires a lot of processing power, but somehow Maschine Plus has achieved it so it's definitely possible. The Akai Force has a way to bounce the warped samples in Elastique Pro offline, so that's a decent workaround. Hopefully will come to the MPC lime soon.
Hey hope my comment reaches you. Was wondering if its possible to record multiple audio tracks simultaneously like recording a bass and guitar and mic at the same time
Yes, that feature was added in 2.8.
How exactly would u go about dping that? Tried looking up everywhere how to do it but havent even found 1 video about it
I just got my mpc live 2 and would really love to record live shows with different bands
I haven't tested it myself, but I believe the recording length is limited to available RAM.
I guess i gotta just play with it and find some tricks
Sounded like the sample bpm was in the low 80's
Can you use re-pitch to warp ? Like In Ableton for example
I don't know what re-pitch is bro, but in MPC all you do is hit the warp button and you can adjust pitch or speed with the parameters in program edit. The way I showed in the video allows you to change the warp/pitch of individual slices so I would imagine it's similar.
@@labandlegacy Thanks for the reply! What I meant is say you want to slow donw the sample to match your BPM, you would do via slowing it down. Kinda like what you do slowing down a record or a cassette. As you do, the pitch also goes down, without creating artifcats.
hope that makes more sense now?
Where do I get an MPC hat like that bro 🔥
I have them on my website www.iamsight.com
Search Bankrobber by Caleborate. He put out a song to this sample 🔥
Here I was thinking my chops sounded smooth lol
🤣 Did this technique help? It's the best method I've discovered for chopped phrases so far.
I’m the beginning of the video, you say you hope to not get a copyright strike. Being that this is an instructional video , shouldn’t it be protected under fair use?
That’s a good point. I’ll have to see if there’s an appeal process for CZcams under those grounds.
I am super noob here . Why do we warp it in the first place ?
How are you recording the screen?????? so strange.
You said you got family in philly and I told myself you resemble DJ Faraway. Any relation?
No, but I always loved kicking it with my boriquas because they would always introduce me to a cousin who looked just like me 🤣🤣🤣
What you call 160 BPM here is in fact 80 BPM. The Live is not the SP1200 and doesn't really need the double-time treatment to double the ppqn resolution. Without any explanation given, this is pretty confusing to newbs IMHO.
Tomato, tomahto... A lot of new guys are doing trap style beats so double time was the flavor of the day. The principle applies either way.
@@labandlegacy Same same but different 😅. Trap producers can do whatever they want all day long, but doesn't change musical norms and rhythm theory.
@@otobotrecords you should go ask a hip-hop DJ what BPMs they're playing these days and then get back to me about "musical norms"
@@labandlegacy I grew up with Hip Hop DJ's since the mid 1980's. In the 90's and 2000's I had two of Europe's best DJ's/Turntablists/multi-instrumentalists in my team.
Like I said, just because some so-called "DJ's" are using musical expressions wrong, doesn't make it right. 80 BPM is 80 BPM. You can fit the pattern in a 160 BPM sequence, no question, but then you're doubling the measures.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhythm#Tempo_and_duration
@@otobotrecords so current musical norms don't matter... gotcha. That's all you had to say. What's funny is that I didn't even add any drums, so who are you to tell me what tempo MY musical composition is? What a sample is, and what our chosen composition is are 2 separate matters, so if you're done being a boomer... please do everyone a huge favor and show us how it's supposed to be done or shut ya old ass up 🤣🤣🤣
for the life of me, i try and try and shit dont work for me, i sample, chope then i go to warp and only one chop gets warp, and yes , i. select all in eedit ZONE. nothing. dust myself off and try again. i have a MPC REN. but software is the same
I can't get it to work in the software without the touch screen. It could be an oversight on the Ren's programming!
it works fine if i don,t chop the sample. thanks
@@labandlegacy oh really? Interesting. I can’t find warp on my hardware . I will try again now knowing this. Thanks.
