Just like with everything else, it is all opening up and we all can create beautiful music thanks to Musicians like you who share their knowledge. Thanks Ave Mcree for sharing!
you prolly dont give a damn but does someone know a trick to get back into an instagram account?? I somehow lost the login password. I love any tricks you can give me.
Another Ave masterclass. You are such a good teacher! between you and sumn, sumn, sumn I have learnt more in the last week than I did all last year. Thanks guys.
New to this producer life..everything I've learned about mpc beats I've learned from you feels like I'm in school. Great job on breaking these different topics down. I look forward to learning more
Just got a MPD218 and started to work with MPC Beats because My JJOS1000 need some serious soldering work because some buttons are just used to death and menu diving is impossible and is getting dust for years now and mannn I totally forgot how much fun Akai pads are ! Your videos are clearly the best out there about tricks and workflow instructions on this MPC Beats beast ! Thumbs up dude and keep on padding !!!
My man gets you right. Bought MPC One two weeks ago. Already put out couple beats and some stems for Drum packs in the Future. MPC's are user friendly.
Just got my MPD226, couldnt figure any of that out for the life of me. I did run across the drum reprogram pad bit though, then left it alone. I even upgraded my MPC beats to MPC 2.0.
Hey bro! I'm new here, just popped a sub. I'm getting into the mixing community as I got a Akai MPK261 as a X-mas present. I've got around 12 years of experience on Piano, and about 7 on trumpet. So I have a decent grasp on music and music theory. I don't know much about music making software so your videos have been super helpful. I keep youtubing how to fix problems and your video will pop up and fix the exact thing I was looking for. Thank you for the helpful videos and good content!
This Mpc beats for free is super super cool and dope but personally for my workflow with fl studio I'm not entirely sure what I'd use this for, but at least it's free and if I need it it's there
I'm not a FL user but imo the MPC was more a workflow that was ideal for drums and chops than doing melodies and stuff so I use it as a VST in Renoise so I could track my melodies and basslines and stuff like Im used to and use MPC beats to drums and not have to program it step by step so it can be done faster and some way more organic.
Your videos be so to the point and honest... Thanks for taking the time to edit and sharing your knowledge with us.... I got the MPC ONE for Christmas but i can't seem to get it to link up with this dam MPC BEATS DAW ...
You should also mention to the people that MPC Beats can be played without a midi pad, in case they need to save up for one. Just activate Keyboard mode!
My main,please explain starting templates to people (you know how you can make your own..) ‘cause a lot of people out there always seem to think that they have to go digging for drums and sounds everytime they start a new project and that’s so NOT the case.
How the heck do you click on semi-tones of a drum sample and pitch up and down by full semi-tone steps? I click with the mouse and it moves dreadfully slow by .00 of a semitone at a time. Talking about when Im in the Trim/Chop screen on the computer.
Hi I only achieve to assign pad 01... i' blocked on how to assign from pad 01 to pad 8... I've tried to drag but it only changes pad 01, its not possible to assing another pad.. i don't know if i must activate something or what
I am having an issue with my knob for my akai mini. for example my play head knob is able to turn but does move the play head that is in to my mpc beats app. does anyone have a solution for this problem
I understand how to record plugins and I also know how to program the drum pad buty issue is when I switch from plugin to drums the sound goes away. It would be so much easier if we can just record drums over the top of the plugins without the plugins being automatically muted. Like that should be much more simple and it's the only thing preventing me from playing drums over the music and vice versa. Also I don't have access to the top left menu so Im not able to open the drums in the piano roll instead. Can anyone please give me some tips so I can just record drums over the plugins and vice versa. I can make anything my mind can conjure up but I just want to record it in a simple way. I'm honestly getting really frustrated over this and I really just want to make a song.
Yo bro I've been watching so much of your stuff on TV and you're crazy by the way I feel like I know you and it MPC beats is pretty cool except for my crash on me today. is there any way I can get my lost data? preciate ya. ✌️
I really really appreciate this vid, Ave!! But... I'm having a real serious issue using 16 LEVELS. I'm an old school Akai S950 and MPC 2000XL user. I've never had any probs with 16 LEVELS...until Beats? lol When I click 16 LEVELS on software, it corresponds perfectly with the 'Pad Keys' on my Macbook QWERTY keyboard, but not on my AKAI MPK225 MIDI keyboard. 🤔 On the MPK, it plays the regular program the way it's laid out over the 16 pads. I'm attempting to play 16 LEVELS of a pad on MPK. Pullin' my dreads out yo. LMAO!!! 🙃😂
@@AveMcree Hmm... Maybe I wasn't so clear in my explanation. I have no issue with my MPK225 being setup to be recognized by the software.That's perfect. When I click on the 16 LEVELS in the software and set the 'TUNING' parameter, the pads are still playing the sample program as assigned. Not the tuning of the sample i specified, spread out over the pads. It's flat out not doing it. lol (even after following your instructions). I don't know. I guess if I want to 16 LEVELS i'll just have to bang it out on QWERTY for that purpose. Makes no sense.. but.. What else am I gonna do? lol SO STRANGE AND FRUSTRATING. Thanks again
Bro love your videos. Can you do a video on the xyfy effects? I checked your playlist for the mpc one and I didn’t see it. My apologies if I overlooked it
is there a way to delete (remove) drum program from the file browser. when renaming the ones i completed it creates two, and i cant figure out how to get rid of the one with the older name on it, so i have a bunch of duplicate drum programs saved. very hard to figure out how to delete. much thanks
Hey man, could you help please? I have the MPK Mini Play and my pads produce sound when I am doing standalone using the power of batteries, but when I am in the MPC software, my actual keys make the drum sounds, but the pads aren't doing a single thing. Do you have any idea what is going on?
1:55 "lets pull up a drum program"... wut? where are these programs???? mine looks nothing like yours. There are no YT tutorials that I can follow with the latest MPC Beats software. This is very frustrating.
Thanks for your videos. My issue with MPC Beats is running a sampled loop and then trying to add drums. If the sample isn't perfectly cropped I get overlapping sample sounds in poly OR the drums wont play correctly (they cut off when the sample triggers and vice versa) because the whole arrangement is in mono. Can I set my sample (or sample track) to mono and my drums to poly within the same sequence? Again thanks for all you do.
being mpc one newbie, i just started to make some kits/ programs ... let`s say i have chopped a dialog from a movie and later, after i created new samples for every pad ... made a new program with the slices, i want to apply the same EQ Kill effect to the entire program... AND save it with the program, that is no possible right? I would have to do it before or with the Mixer, but with the mixer it will not get saved with that program. Or am i wrong here? Another option is to apply that effect to each pad, but this is time consuming... one effect for the whole program would be nice to have :-)
Hi guy! I am trying to create a slow blues track that is 4/4 time but every beat is a slow triplet. I haven't quite figured out to put a triplet inside a 4/4 groove. Is there a secret trick to this? Thanks and God bless!

My main,please explain starting templates to people (you know how you can make your own..) ‘cause a lot of people out there always seem to think that they have to go digging for drums and sounds everytime they start a new project and that’s so NOT the case.
so you just use starter templates rather than build your own kit?
@@phobostwotwoone5296 you can make your own starter template with your own built kit
This was great. Good share.👍 👍
Thanks 👍🏾
Thx man for yor work! Please explain how LFO works with the filter ?
Thumbs up 👍 gang we here
Shows over at 1:10. So what exactly is a drum program? Well, you’re looking at one right now. (Cue music, roll credits ) 👊🏿

Hi there SO how do use banks B and bank C and
bank D what are they there for, how do add kits
from kit maker to these banks please? Any one?

Hi 👋 bro is there a video you talk about copying from sequence to sequence or from sequence to another track?
I mean on mpc software
Hey man, could you help please? I have the MPK Mini Play and my pads produce sound when I am doing standalone using the power of batteries, but when I am in the MPC software, my actual keys make the drum sounds, but the pads aren't doing a single thing. Do you have any idea what is going on?
Can the following be done with an MPC 2500?
1:55 "lets pull up a drum program"... wut? where are these programs???? mine looks nothing like yours. There are no YT tutorials that I can follow with the latest MPC Beats software. This is very frustrating.
Let talk note mapping. In program
Can insert my drums without interrupting the sample? or should I insert drums first then insert the sample?
If you delete the program, does the MPC purge the samples too?
If it's like hardware MPC nope the samples are still there.

How do you record and save a beat you made 🤔
