MPC 2.14 Update - STEMS is Here!

[@lindasson]

You hear a little artifacts, but you hear artifacts in Serato Studio as well, no stems program is perfect. Thanks for the information, and that song is Dope!🙏🏾✊🏾💚

[@GhettoStyles]

Thanks.

[@TKOthunder]

This new technology is gonna usher in a new era of hip-hop. Boom bap is looking very promising lately for a young producer (25) from the Boogie Down.

[@GhettoStyles]

That’s a fact

[@BigCore-]

I didn't need the tutorial but I saw that someone posted your link in a group so I figured I come though and give it a like, and a comment. 👍🏾

[@GhettoStyles]

Much appreciated bro!

[@r.russell4162]

Great stuff. Looking forward to more stems content.

[@GhettoStyles]

Thanks

[@masadampc]

Excellent work as always

Thanks bro

[@tomdunn6416]

Keep rokn dude.
Love what you do.
Be the music community.

[@GhettoStyles]

Thanks, will do!

[@tomdunn6416]

Know any rappers looking for beats?

[@GhettoStyles]

@@tomdunn6416 always actually

[@_c_y_p_3]

Rök in Swedish is smoke 😂 , I guess where there is smoke there is fire.. ok that was cheesy ass stupid. Thanks for your videos man, you got the best accent on all of YT. Reminds me of the same accent as Dead Prez for some reason. I always wanna ask but don’t wanna come off sounding like I just come from the cracker isle of wallmart or something.

[@tomdunn6416]

I'm looking always. Not a tonne of rappers where I live so looking to connect.

[@channelz3363]

Nice track. I bought Stems… but it don’t load on the Akai Force yet……. So excited about it that when I got the mail Akai was dropping it I didn’t read it all before buying!

[@GhettoStyles]

Wow I thought that was going to be a simultaneous release.

[@wiggesobk]

Great video and super dope beat man!🔥🔥🔥

[@GhettoStyles]

Thanks. 🙏🏽

[@playcapturereplay9371]

Only on desktop not available on standalone only controller mode

[@GhettoStyles]

Yes I said that.

[@Goosy]

ahhh

[@ISAELVIS1]

So change the header, it’s not here don’t click bait the community to gets views my guy. Don’t lie you said that in the content but you didn’t make it clear in the topic that is misleading

[@GhettoStyles]

@@ISAELVIS1 how is it misleading. Stems is here and no it’s not standalone. Nobody has said that. Te problem is it has continually been marketed by everyone like it’s standalone when it wasn’t. Even Akai never gave a date for standalone. The stems release alone was almost two months late. The title or the video is not clickbait it is factual.

[@mspurple7765]

Hello. Nice. Much love 💜

[@GhettoStyles]

💪🏾 salute

[@julian486]

Thank you brotha

[@GhettoStyles]

Welcome

[@SDIGGIE]

So, If you use the software version of STEMS you will loose access to SPLICE, don't know if their still trying to be involved with splice but there will be no access to splice files.

[@GhettoStyles]

Who said that? You do not lose access to splice. Splice also has a desktop version where you can drag samples directly out of splice and drop them into the MPC. Your MPC splice sample storage is also still there.

[@PeteOnTheBeat]

Hopefully on your friendly neighbor MPC One soon too

[@GhettoStyles]

You can definitely get it.

[@ericqualley6764]

Not standalone

[@GhettoStyles]

@@ericqualley6764 we know

[@Roland_Tr909_Swing]

I would rather it take a bit longer to iron out the vocal bleed

[@GhettoStyles]

It can be better. It’s not as good with more modern stuff. It works great on vinyl or older music.

[@Roland_Tr909_Swing]

@@GhettoStyles my radioooo app will be getting some love tonight

[@GhettoStyles]

@@Roland_Tr909_Swing let me know how it does!

[@RockawaySoundz718]

My mpc x stays on connecting to computer..I tried your method in your previous window but no luck. 😢

[@GhettoStyles]

Check your cable connections. If you are using a USB hub it should be 3.0 speed or faster.

[@RockawaySoundz718]

@@GhettoStyles tried that as well I believe it's an issue with m2 MacBooks..Akai had me go buy a usb b to usb c cable ..which I'm going directly from the x to the MacBook ..but still looking for computer.
I checked my accessibility parameters, enabled kernel extension..uninstalled reinstalled mpc software and drivers. I even tried to downgrade to see if that will work but no luck.
Also thank you so much for responding.. appreciate you my gz!

[@GhettoStyles]

@@RockawaySoundz718 that’s interesting. It’s supposed to be compatible with apple chips now but there could definitely still be issues. I’m on a Mac also but mine is still intel chips.

[@RubenSmith]

Dope 🔥🔥🔥 question. Can I drag and drop MP3 files straight to the MPC grid and use the MPC streams, or do I have to have some type of cord connection? Can you get back to me, please? I'm loving your videos 🙏🏿🙏🏿 but wait did u record that song off the Mpc? That's shit dope Asf!!! St8 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@GhettoStyles]

You won’t be able to do it by dragging it to the grid but you can do it by dragging it into the sample editor.

[@RubenSmith]

@GhettoStyles O is that what u did before u start messing around with the stems fam? Because see I got an mpc key 61 and I still don't know how to sample from CZcams SMH do u? I did it easy on my MPC Renaissance from utube

[@GhettoStyles]

@@RubenSmith yea that’s what I did in this video. I have a key 61 also if you have it in standalone you can run a 1/4 stereo to mono splitter cable from a headphone jack into the Key 61 but if it is in connector mode in preferences set the key 61 to your audio interface and sample input 1/2 or possibly L/R. I think you can do that if you have the Key 61 using itself as the interface as well.

[@RubenSmith]

@@GhettoStyles Nice looking

[@skennymane]

Do you have the Mac desktop 2.14 installer?? I upgraded to 2.15 but I swear it sounds different from 2.13. Want to try 2.14 to see if it sounds the same as 2.13 + have access to stems.

[@GhettoStyles]

@@skennymane I don’t know if it sounds different but here is the 2.14 installer.
www.akaipro.com/mpc-software-firmware-downloads.html

[@skennymane]

@@GhettoStyles yeah that 2.15 to me sounded like there was some extra sizzle in the high end (unpleasant) and almost like an invisible limiter was on the master bus. I noticed a narrower soundstage and slightly more “lift”. Best way I can describe it.
Preciate the link!

[@MrInhumantv]

what happened to the explode tracks setting and the export in 2.14?

[@GhettoStyles]

It’s still there. I’m actually working on a video about this that should be available in a few days.

[@MrInhumantv]

@GhettoStyles I ended up figuring it out .. I haven't updated my mpc in such a long time got used to version 2.10 and when I updated I was lost!

[@MrInhumantv]

@@GhettoStyles I do appreciate the comment back I think I've left the same comment on 3 other mpc videos and your the only one to get back to me

[@GhettoStyles]

@@MrInhumantvno problem at all.

[@Bilpokat]

I think a better visual GUI wood be need nice

[@GhettoStyles]

I agree with that.

[@Reggicide]

What’s up Ghetto! Can you make a video on how to 16 level 808s and bass?

[@GhettoStyles]

Possibly. It’s pretty straightforward but I actually prefer to turn it into a keygroup if I’m using notes. I use 16 Levels if I want velocity

[@Reggicide]

@@GhettoStyles I see… I’m just trying to make the 808s and bass be in the same pitch and tone on all levels to match my beats

[@GhettoStyles]

@@Reggicide Yea the easiest way for me is turning them into keygroups then you can play it in scale. 16 levels pitches it but not every pad will be in scale.

[@Reggicide]

@@GhettoStyles you got a video on that?

[@GhettoStyles]

@@Reggicide I have probably done it in a beat making video but not specifically a tutorial. I might do one.

[@skylerdarkavelifinesseflow7115]

Nah whenever I try to activate the stems it says done but then on standalone it says go to preferences>activate which I already did

[@GhettoStyles]

@@skylerdarkavelifinesseflow7115 on standalone you have to activate and
Also download it.

[@GhettoStyles]

You also have to update your MPC to 2.15

[@skylerdarkavelifinesseflow7115]

@@GhettoStyles I did that on MPC desktop.. went to activate plugins and all that but when I disconnect it says stems but when I go to actually make whatever it always says for me to log into my inmusic go to preferences>Activate

[@GhettoStyles]

@@skylerdarkavelifinesseflow7115 yes. You do have o login o your inMusic account in standalone. When you go to activate if you are not logged in you will see a QR code on the screen. You scan that code with your cell phone. Then you login on your phone and it will then login your MPC. Your MPC must be connected to WiFi. If it is the original MPC One you need to connect an Ethernet cable to your router. Standalone and desktop are two separate activations.

[@skylerdarkavelifinesseflow7115]

​@@GhettoStylesit's saying no drive available for installing content.. what do I do now?

[@biggwillbeats4384]

My MPC telling me 2.13 is utd…..
:Frysquint:
Sighs…
Edit….
It’s a link on Akai pro YT ft Marco Polo…software first,standalone in “future” updates..back to then MP vid then hit the Lab.

[@GhettoStyles]

Wow. Interesting

[@Mr.SocialDistance65]

Rumor is that if you buy it for controller mode when standalone hits it’s basically free. You know if that’s true? Because I don’t do controller mode but I will buy it so when standalone is ready I already have it.

[@GhettoStyles]

That should be true just like Flex Beat.

[@Zuisgenox]

paid $9.99 macbook and live 2. but u have to pay $299 for mpc 2 software¿

[@GhettoStyles]

@@Zuisgenox if you own a MPC from the MPC Studio and up You already own the software because it came with your hardware unit.

[@biggwillbeats4384]

👀…..brb‼️

[@GhettoStyles]

Right 🤣

[@user-do2xr9gv8k]

What do you press on the software to show all layers on the Q-Links, like you did at 5:40?

[@GhettoStyles]

I have my MPC XSE in controller mode and set to SCREEN CONTROL. In that setting the first box follows what is on the MPC screen. I went to PROGRAM EDIT and hit SAMPLES twice to get to the sample level control. You can slide the bottom panel in the software to the right to get to it also under SAMPLE LAYERS.

[@herb39hs]

Yeah it sounds like every other stems separator a little bleeding 🫡

[@GhettoStyles]

It works great on most vinyl samples or old music. It is not as good at more modern sounding stuff.

[@herb39hs]

@@GhettoStyles man thanks G for replying back appreciate you bro 🫡

[@mosescarrero6611]

My cousin gave me his MPC charge. Can I use them separation on that and I’m not sure if he made it in life music but if he didn’t can I make one for myself and the stems function or do I need to use his Akai account for this process?

[@mosescarrero6611]

I’m sorry, my cousin gave me his MPC touch

[@GhettoStyles]

@@mosescarrero6611 you can use stem separation but you have to have the latest version of the full MPC2 software and you have to purchase Stems for $10. I suppose you could use his account if he has it but it will only allow the software to run on two computers. You will probably be better opening your own account and purchasing the Software for $200

[@FLEXSON_007]

❤‍🔥

[@GhettoStyles]

💪🏾

[@Snub5741]

how did you operate that in standalone mode and software at the same time?

[@GhettoStyles]

It was not in standalone at all. That’s one of the misconceptions about Controller mode or computer mode. When you are connected to the computer with the software the MPC works and looks just like standalone and always has. I just showed how it actually runs. None of the other videos show that on purpose to make you “think” it’s standalone.

[@Snub5741]

@GhettoStyles I must not have something connected right I could never operate software with my hardware time to revamp

[@GhettoStyles]

@@Snub5741 you probably don’t have the driver installed. Also the MPC comes with a crap load of free drum programs, sounds, samples, and instruments. Most MPC users never bother to download it. 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@Snub5741]

@GhettoStyles Real quick question and I do appreciate you taking your time out to respond.
I have the MP c. XSE how can I track out a bit? I made in to send it to another daw

[@GhettoStyles]

@@Snub5741 that’s easy. Just go to export like a finished beat but select separate tracks. You can also explode drum tracks if you want each individual drum sound.

[@semiontario]

No,, Its really NOT here

[@Pavillionairez]

Activation problem?

[@Dispatcher813]

My mpc hardware is updated to 2.14 but my software says 2.13 and iam up to date. shouldnt the software be on 2.14 also. it says all is updated 2.13 iam i missing something

[@GhettoStyles]

The software is not updated. It should also be on 2.14

[@Dispatcher813]

@GhettoStyles Do I need the paid version of mpc Beats to get 2.14. Mine just updated to 2.13 and said all is up to date.

[@Dispatcher813]

@@GhettoStyles Thanks

[@GhettoStyles]

@@Dispatcher813 do you have an MPC or just MPC Beats? If you have a MPC the paid software comes with it Free.
