      Yo I am Green as hell to beat making. I love listen to music and beats and I want to try and make them at my old age😂. I literally just bought the mpc 1 retro and I’m waiting for it to come. I bought it after listening to your review on the mpc retro. Man I have like a gazillion questions to ask you. Do you have an IG so I can ask you a few questions on how to start this? I also just bought FL studio. Will it work in there? How do you hear music from this? Is there speakers connected

    It took me TWO DAYS to watch this video. I would watch it... pause it... try to do what you did... start watching again... PAUSE IT... two days of that. I got my MPC One two days ago. Now I can safely say I understand everything you mentioned in this video. So big-ups for THAT. And congrats on the 2.3k likes... That's a LOT of likes! :D

    • @takeonparis
      @takeonparis Před 3 lety +7

      @@roshaungoolsby4554 Yeah the price has been going UP. I got mine for 699. Anyway... I absolutely LOVE IT. I think the things that it has over the Live and Live II (extra buttons, smaller form factor) outweigh the lack of internal HD and wifi/bluetooth. I was looking for something to accompany my Novation Circuit. Well this has pretty much REPLACED my Novation Circuit. And it ALMOST replaced Ableton. I was getting ready to sell my Push 2 before I realized what a pain mixing and mastering are on any MPC. Don't get me wrong: You can create an entire song effortlessly on the MPC One. Faster and easier than you could probably make a song anywhere else. And I mean even a COMPLICATED song. But then when it comes to doing things like fading in and out an really working with that completed song and making it "Radio Ready"... You'll still need to whip out the laptop. Or maybe I just haven't figured out a way to do that on the One yet. Suffice to say... I wish I'd had something like this YEARS ago.

  • @TheScreamingFrog916
    @TheScreamingFrog916 Před 2 lety +1

    I got mine a few days ago, and one of the things I have noticed, about MPC instructional videos, is that,
    depending on how old they are, they represent some information, that is no longer correct, as of the latest firmware/operating system updates.
    Where I notice this most, is that because they changed where to find some things.
    Many items, are no longer stored on the local drive, and are instead, stored on external drive/memory card slot.
    What I need before I even make my first beat, is to figure that out, and get some pointers, on how best to organize files, folders, plugins, on my SD card.
    And how the file system works, as of the latest software update.
    Thanks for the great instructions, best wishes for your continued success.

    This Thursday is my first payday at my new job, and I'm about to buy my first MPC. I've been watching a few videos by different guys today that were very helpful and i'm just like cool, lots of info on how to make music, just gotta translate it to my genre. But i just stumbled on this video and as soon as it started playing and he started talking, i was like "that's the guy! That's the guy i'm looking for!"
    This is after searching for literally a couple of years now trying to find ONE beat-making tutorial on how people made hip hop before 2016-17. Can't really express how happy i feel, but Mr Ave Mcree, you have a new follower

  • @Fairlight2cx
    @Fairlight2cx Před 4 lety +11

    Just got mine today, and this was a great jump-off place for getting into it without reading the manual for a few hours. This thing is obviously deeper than I even thought it was, and I did research going into it. DAW in a box, basically, which is impressive for $700 and with the build quality it boasts. Ironically, I got mine just so I'd have *some* sort of percussion while playing with my Roland System 8, because every time I have it out, I wish I had some percussion to work against. I think it may become more than that, despite me having four full DAWs. Same with my basses and guitars...should be an awesome, "I don't have to mess with a mouse," type of tool...but with the ability to go as deep as I want. Thanks for the video!

  • @rockhead11
