AKAI MPC LIVE II - How To Make Your First Beat!

Just found your tutorial online, seriously great stuff and very hard to find people with teh right teaching mindset. Well done and looking forward for the next videos

Thanks for putting this together! Got the ball rolling nicely

had this same pad since 2020 around this time - watched the first 7 min and already started making some shitttttt - gonna finish the video later - thank u , changed niggas life

Just because yours is white and mine is black does not make yours special or sexy

Just got mine yesterday 😬

Excellent! I’m very new and really appreciate the tutorial. I learned a lot with this and I’m looking forward to learning more!

Hey what's up I would like to get the trap kit and the 808 drum kit for my mpc live 2 thanks in advance

Thanks

Thank you so much! I just bought one of these a few days ago.

Just realized I've been using this wrong. I was doing it in track mode. Hopefully doing it this way will help me load and save the sessions faster. Thanks!

I've been using an MPC live for 3 years, and omg this video has my mind 🤯 I learned more in the 30 mins watching this, than I did in 3 years! I have to figure out the key groups.. Thanks Ave, your videos are always on point!!!

Really enjoyed that useful video. Many thanks. Don’t have the machine but might ask Santa for one this Christmas. Cheers bro

My brother, I have been looking at this MPC live2 for over a year after 15 years FL,Reason, and Pro tool. Your granular training approach helped me tremendously. Gratitude and blessings🙏

MPC IS TOO COMPLICATED!!! Who can make beats with this thing?
Its waaayyy tooo complicated!!!
I'm gonna use an ipad and be able to do more and wayy less complicated!!!
The UI of this MPC is absolutely horrible! Un intuitive!!!!!!
Sending mine that I just bought back!!!

Thanks man! Very informative! I just got mine today and was lost out of the box, but thanks to you I have a handle on things now. 🙏🏼

Fantastic initial breakdown. You’re giving me a head start for an incoming Xmas gift. I’ll be spending much time witcha! Happy Holidays, and thanks a million!!

Great video think I’m going to get one in the new year!👏🏾🌹

Hey! My MPC Live has arrived!!! Does anybody know how to install Sonic Boom please?🙏🏾👊🏾

Holy shit, I was thinking about buying one cause I’m a pro drummer who produces bass music, thought this was a beat pad but it’s litterally a daw controller a daw a computer and the speakers all in one???? WILD

na imma buy myself a 2500 again this is 2 much XD

Mpc is hard asf yo learn

Thank you, i'm an old school musician going solo and educating myself in modern music production (DAW less). Love the hands on tutorials.🙏

I purchased my MPC Live 2 and hardly was able to use it for the longest because I had no clue how to use it even after watching a few videos. I watch this video and had a track laid out in what felt like minutes. Great video man. I'll definitely be coming back to this channel for more tutorials. Mad props Ave. Thank you!

Thank you for the video, I'm doing the same thing as you and everything works fine, but I have some disorder after recording. Could it be that I don't have the right tempo? I'm new to the MPC Live 2 and also to music in general.

Best tutorial ever. Thanks

I got a mpc live 2. I regret buying it. I thought since I had a maschine mk3 everything would be all good.

Thanks for a perfect intro lesson! 🎉

This is exactly what I needed to get up and running. No downloads, no bs, just a straight up guide to building tracks with the instrument and everything that comes with it.

Thanks for the help, love the vids!

thanks!

Fantastic. In the first four minutes of the video I was able to figure out how set up my first 4 track tune. Unfortunately it’s only 2 bars long but sounds cool

My man! You are a goat. Super informative and easy to follow.

This video is 3 years old and still gold .. I’ve had this thing sitting in the box for like 2 weeks now.. finally a good video to help me figure it out ..hope I don’t give up too soon lol

Thank you a lot for this video man, much love, and you’re a great teacher bro 🙏🏾 subcribed 🔥

Thank you so much.

I had trouble with the 808 part still learning

One of the best if not the best quick tutorial! thanks my dude!

Man I bought this thing and completely new to mpc and making beats period. I’m about15 beats into my Logic Pro. So I’m a beginner. Been looking at my live 2 for about 3weeks and damn near scared to touch it.. I’m about to get after it now..thanks to this video that I will reference about 100 times. Thanks bruh

You can only view so many 'technical' vids before your head implodes, but this is a JUMP ON IN AND DO IT VID. .. I definitely had to watch a few prior, to learn to navigate around a bit, but YOU just helped me make my first beat and it just so happens it actually sounds GOOOOOD!! Thanks bruh, this was EXTREMELY helpful.

Best tutorial ive seen foe an mpc. Akaii should hire youre ass to do instructional vids for them. This vid explained alot in a matter thats eazily digested. Thanks my man

Thank you so much man you actually helped me a lot I hope you will put out more guides on the MPC LIVE2 because Ik there’s a lot more to learn peace and love man

Hello Ave, would like to know, if you purchased your course previously would you be updating the course or would I need to purchase the new one you just completed?

Great tutorial! Thank you very much for putting this together sir 💙

I’m going to buy it now 💯 goodlooks

Thanks brotha! I've had my MPC live for a couple months now and I have yet to get moving on any projects with it because there's so much about them I don't understand. Prior to having this I had a little boss DR 880 drum machine that was really straightforward and easy to navigate compared to an MPC and not near as advanced as the MPC. My MPC live is my very first MPC And I've wanted one for years because I know they have massive capabilities to do the types of music I want to do. This video was an excellent starting point for me to get me moving down the right path to forward progress so thanks again! I will be looking for more videos through you and definitely liking and subscribing. 👊😎

This was an amazing tutorial! Helped me a lot, very clear and the joke at the beginning actually made me lol

Man, just picked up one and been djn for 20years, when I started playing with this, I was so lost, but you Bro, simplified the process. You sir are a Gem!

I know I'm late to the party but incredible video! Best teacher hands down. Thank you.

You're my friggin hero right now, friend. I'm listening, and learning. I just picked this up and have been slowly learning over the last week. I'll be checking in with as many of your videos as possible. Thanks for being here. ❤❤❤

Thanks!

I just got mine MPC Live II but UI looks different, I'm on 3.4.1 firmware...
