They need to quit playing and put STEMS in standalone. Before I give them a STEM *** whooping. I don’t like using the software. Otherwise I’d stay on maschine lol
I always loved the soft clipper in drum fx. I’m happy we can now put it on the master channel as well to achieve maximum loudness. After they add stem separation in standalone it’s a wrap.
Best believe when im working in fl studio i have that soft clipper on my drum bus😂 this is major for us mpc users the drums already hit hard this will take them to the next level. Dope beat too Bolo
Dope, some things you limit, some things you soft clip.There is a softclipper built into the DRUM FX its in spot 7 in case you wanted to apply it standalone on a per pad basis to anything in a drum program specifically etc.... But there was no Soft Clipper to shape and add on the subs or master or other tracks. Def must have, they keep making it better, and its available for the Force/MPC users
The soft clipper is alright it makes the drums more preset I heard a lot of people uses a multi band compressor instead of a limit on their overall master track it doesn’t quash the audio as much
Yo Bolo! 3 Things: 1. This is a dope addition to the MPC ecosystem 2. That beat is FIRE 3. They need to release them OTHER thangs in standalone too.......
Fire vid. Just wanted to point out how we get that sound out of FL soft clipper. You want the effect to not be working at all unless something goes OVER 0 db so pretty much threshold/drive whatever your program calls it that should be at 0 and the output should also be put to 0. Here’s the trick. Turn your 808 up past 0 db so like +1.5 db is a good place to start. This then only effects your 808, the rest of the mix won’t be affected. Only thing is “room” in the mix but this is trap music we don’t care. Turn your drums up loud too to combat that “space” in the mix lol. This can be done with limiters as well. Attack ALL THE WAY DOWN. Release ALL THE WAY DOWN threshold at 0 and same thing turn your 808 up past 0.
Waiting for Akai to drop that force patch. At this rate if they add that visual eq we won't have to do much but mix and master on the pc. I just keep trying to use my force and get better with all of the features. I like the direction they are moving by making the standalone products in line with our DAW's.
Okay so I just bought it and I will say YES! I'm messing with this! Definitely gives that fl soft clipper vibe Definitely makes the drums which already sound good with the mpc sound even better
Dope video as always Bolo! Since we all throwing out requests. Automation on the master man. I mean it’s 2024 surely they can make that happen! I know the work around, bounce down and then automate on that but would be dope to automate the whole sequence on the fly in real time! Come on akai, some of us been rockin out since day one.. listen to your ppl man!! 🙄🤣😂
Yes Sir!... Awesome Video!... Clippers, Limiters do squash,(compress)those drums,but I noticed it sounds nice when I play on other sources of receivers (Bluetooth,car,)...& Yes FL had this😆😅🤣...Dope!
0:19 I KNOW RIGHT........................ This is the first thing I thought too. Bro I have a bad feeling about that STEMS... They're on it since too long now
I’m here on you tube and this video popped up as next to play but here I’m thinking a video i haven’t watched from bolo yet? I only know if i hadn’t watch it yet if it isn’t like lol
Kinda new to making beats. If I wanted to make a beat separating the intro, main, chorus, ending. What would you recommend. I think most beats loop 16 bars. Still learning I could be mistaken.
Great video my brother. I have a question I would like to ask you if you're working outside of the box 100%. Do you really use all those plugins? For example, my MPC goes into my analog heat from there goes into my patch Bay into my black audio to my 16 track mixer with any of those plug-ins do me any
I work outside of the box about 90% of the time. However, I still, on occasion, route my beats into a DAW. But when I route my beats into a DAW, I use the effects that I have. When I route into my DAW, I run my beats through my manly preamp into my universal audio interface.
@BoloDaProducer if the New MPCs have an Nvidia chip like the new PS5s are having, the new models will be completely standalone. You wouldn't even need to integrate the software. That much processing power.
@@MadACeTeeMack guess it depends what you're running. I never max out the memory, although at most I'm only ever using 6 or 7 plugin instruments, with maybe 10 effect plugins between the programs.
Honestly, I can’t even open mpc software in logic or by itself, so they should pay more attention to the existing problems and not make new plugins until they fix the bugs in current things. How about stems for standalone? Can’t even use it in the mpc software, so……
I just bought this dope plugin and was able to install it on my computer where I can use it in my DAW. However, my MPC doesn't give me the option to install it on there. I'm running 2.14 firmware and when I go to the activation screen under preferences, the soft clipper doesn't appear among the other plugins in the list that can be downloaded and purchased. My question is: Why?, especially after I purchased it already.
@jasontaylor404 UPDATE: The plugin finally showed up in the list the next night I turned on the MPC X, and I was able to install it without any issues. It still baffles me why it did not show up that first time, though. Anyway, it's no longer an issue now. Thanks! Oh, and to answer your question, yes. It does show up in my InMusic account. In fact, I installed it on the PC software first before trying to install it on the hardware.
@@Ibunshi The “Clipper” in Drum FX is a clipper by name only. This new one is not much different. Neither are really proper clipper emulations in the true meaning of a clipper. But…. Akai say it’s a clipper. Cha-ching… people pay. The coding is very primitive and there is some serious aliasing.
The lower volume sounds better a clipper is fine but I have many that sounds way better there’s nothing better than gold clip but for those who solely mix on the mpc kudos to you . But listening to this in my truck …. This needs dynamics it sounds squashed
They need to quit playing and put STEMS in standalone. Before I give them a STEM *** whooping. I don’t like using the software. Otherwise I’d stay on maschine lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣 Patience my friend, in due time, it will be here 🤣🤣🤣
Agreed... stems in standalone will be a good day for sure. Hopefully sooner than later too! 👊🧡👍
My thoughts exactly 😅
Tell em bro that's the whole reason we got mpc so we didn't have to use a pc 😂

There’s always been a one knob soft clipper in stand alone mode. Just go to Pegram edit>effect>drum effects
I know, but it ain’t like this one 🔥

@@BoloDaProducer I’ll check it out then. Thanks!
Its not a soft clipper in program mod its a shit a transitant shaper without limiter on

soft clipper is perfect for getting a better sound out of these new machines 🏋♀

You are correct!
only for MPC force got screwed again
The drum fx soft clip doesn’t work the same way, check the levels pre and post fx….
The soft clipper is alright it makes the drums more preset I heard a lot of people uses a multi band compressor instead of a limit on their overall master track it doesn’t quash the audio as much
Dope video bro. I’m a big fan of using soft clippers so I’m definitely copping this.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
How to install for stand alone ?
@@BoloDaProducer😮😮😮😮😮
Limiter didn’t sound to bad
MPC needs to stop playing and Give us a Playlist/ Sequence editor so we can arrange out production properly 🙏🏼💯. All I’m asking for !!!
Yes!
Because all I makes is loops till then 😂😂😂
They can even call it fruity playlist😂😂😂
I like song mode and have the sequences available to edit and it automatically changes in song mode. It’s the MPC way
And more than 4 FX slots, especially for the Master Bus.

Using a clipper before the limiter is the way, but you MUST shape the release of both. This reinforces the pocket.

0:19 I KNOW RIGHT........................ This is the first thing I thought too.

Whats the difference between this soft clipper Already in the system and Air’s softclipper?
Nice! 👍 Akai! 🏆🫡. Dope beat Bolo!! 💎💯💎💯
🔥🔥🔥
$20 for a clipper plug…. So the Mpc is becoming a more expensive but limited iPad because the apps and plugins are way cheaper…on the iOS platform
You get AU/VST/AAX as well, not only MPC Standalone...
i like the true peak option. that’s useful
Just got it, thanks, mixes already beating harder... Its only 20 bucks... My Guy!!!
OK that’s dope. I grabbed that right away.
I heard that once you buy the new soft clipper, there's an egg inside that opens standalone STEMS. Click the more button...
Let’s just say, I haven’t seen that egg 😂
@@BoloDaProducer 😭
@@BoloDaProducer llamf 🤦♂️😂
That would be ridiculous cause at that point you've essentially paid $30 for stems
Soft Clipper there is a soft ckipper built in already thats damn good!
Sweet review 😎🔥 just ordered 👍
Definitely A Stand On Business Plugin
And you have to be on Firmware 2.14 witch is A.I included. For some maybe a problem.
"Before the sss..BOLO!" ...nice.
Gave us the sauce deserve a like

Not like this

Is there a new Akai update to be able to get this soft clipper or you gotta purchase it
You gotta purchase this one.. on sale for $19.99

Make your Chorus sequence, copy it, and create your other parts.
Then go to song mode to arrange your sections.
You can convert this 1 sequence. 🎉
@@dja.selekta Cool, Thank you
Also, depending on the genre, you may have 4 bar intro, 8 bar chorus hook and 8 bar or 4 bar bridge, and ending, etc.

I doubt if MPCs get STEMs because the processors aren't strong enough
You’ll be surprised what this machine can handle
@BoloDaProducer It can't handle plugins simultaneously. Needs a stronger processor bruh. Always read your specs

I don't get it...Doesn't the drum FX tab in standalone already have a soft clipper?? Can somebody explain if there's a difference
🤔big difference in sound, I like it
Now we need a better reverb.
Air ether reverb is a beast
Completely agree 💯 @@nategezze4sho536
It’s cool but when you start shaping the room I’ve noticed a metallic type of sound. Hard to explain. Still very useful though!

Does it show up on your InMusic account? Did you purchase directly from Akai?

Ive been on reason for a long time and I wanna get an MPC should I get the live 2 or Mpc X im all about sound banks does the X have more?
So why wont they make it so we're able to use VST3...it sucks i cant use Kontakt
Is there an update for this before purchasing?
I paid $10 for STEMS & I can't access it on my MPC One... a waste of money!
I'll wait for standalone.
Be patient…
You have no choice but to wait tho. Who buys anything these days without knowing whats included?
@jaytonkash yeah but it's funny how they make videos using stems on MPC standalone yet they're not available. I'm glad it was only 10 bux 🤣
It has to be in Controller Mode to work on The One, The Live & X. I've got it on my One. I don't see it in Standalone either.
@@thomasmatthews8873 it is stand alone i have it and andys akai video shows how smh.
Isn’t there already one in the drum fx page 2?
Yes but this one is better
@@BoloDaProducer nice gonna try it out today
Beat fire
Thanks!
why this plugin is not native, why should we pay extra for a feature like that??
& $20 at that! Costs more than stems & I feel like you get more value out of stems.
Bolo: The highest we got here was -9db
The meter: -0.9db
