Pressing record in song mode, then just hitting the different pads to add sequences was a great tip. Thanks man!

@BrandonWhalen 2 года назад

I just joined the MPC community after being a DAW producer my whole life. Thank you so much for providing resources like this.

@jenumclucas7014 Год назад

welcome to da family 💪🏾

@tomph3862 2 года назад

Man, this makes so much sense. I've had the MPC One for 3-4 months and have fallen into the trap of creating crazy busy 8 bar loops without any real plan. You make it looks so simple!

@BkuBrown Год назад

Better to learn the shit out of our 4 bar loops in this stage brother we still learning 🤣🏆

@jdlady5822 3 года назад

This tutorial on the MPC song mode is VERY user friendly.

@AveMcree 3 года назад

well thanks I tried my best

@yodab.at1746 2 года назад

One of the reasons I chose the mpc is to get away from a screen based workflow. The buttons and muscle memory combination rather than mouse and cursor bring back production to the ears and imagination like it used to be using tape and outboard. Having an arrange page would tip that fine balance too far to DAW territory again because as it's there, you'd find yourself using it. Having to use your brain for lateral creative thinking and problem solving is where great creative solutions are born. I say keep the arrange page for the Force. It's a different beast.

@dare2win215 2 года назад

OMG! THAT BEAT!!!! Thank you. I've finally started using my MPC as more than a glorified metronome and these tutorials are my lifeline. I planned to read the manual, but it just seems less clinical/more natural to watch someone making music while teaching the process.

@DSMetal14 3 года назад

Honestly dude, I learned so much more from your videos than the Akai MPC beats Acadamy videos. 'preciate it, I subbed.

@StarJFemaleProducer Год назад

You have helped me a lot. I just bought a machine and your videos were really useful. I thank you.

@mastaboog749 Год назад

This was actually pretty helpful, I've been doing track mutes to switch shit up, but I've wanted to start chaining patterns to make it a little more complex.

@huntergalloway3944 3 года назад

That hand automation is where it’s at! I can tell you were having fun too. Thank you for the tutorials, you’re a rock star.

@ricflomusic 25 дней назад

Great video man, I avoid track mutes cause I wanted to export song mode to sequence / arranger view and have full flexibility on Daw or controller mode but seeing the freedom of expression rather than clicking and deleting is refreshing. Looking forward to expertimenting tomorrow. Thank you!

@anthonyscott16 Месяц назад

I know I’m way late to the party, but damn bro. Excellent lesson! I started on an MPC3k back in the day, which was amazing for what it was. But this new MPC platform is crazy. Appreciate you

@whereisko 3 года назад

This video was the moment when I asked myself why I didn’t jump into the MPC wave years earlier. I’ve been a serial looper on Maschine for years and I think features on the MPC Live like mute and song mode will allow me to be much more productive

@chriscarson6050 2 года назад

I'm still thinking about MPC Live. I got Maschine and I really like the way you can work with clips, arrange patterns easily and to see all of it like in a DAW. I wish MPC had a similair intuitive interface. But I will watch this carefuly to judge what's better for the workflow.

@sCealt Год назад

@@chriscarson6050 do you have the Maschine Plus? im on the fence with MPC One and that.. is it stable for live performances? can you load up your own Reaktor ensembles without issues? sorry to hijack the thread haha

@pdubsouthwest 3 года назад

I really needed this. I was copping my sequences. Playing with track mutes. And deleting events in each sequence to match the sounds of the track mutes I was making! This cut my workload in half.

@NafaelRadalBeats 11 месяцев назад

7:00 thank you so much I've been going nuts trying to figure out the mutes with the loop on haha I just got the live 2 and I've been using studio on the computer with the controller and it's a bit different editing track mutes in the software it shows up like the step sequencer automation or track automation in the live 2 but this is going to save me so much headache! 🙏

@OraceLakay-mx6xy 27 дней назад

Thank you very much. We truly appreciate your work. Very well done tutorial too, in each and every step! I remember learning how to make my first beat in one of your videos and the material included like always takes the producer straight to another level fron the start. Thank you!

@88keyz 3 года назад

I'm new to the MPC ecosystem I understand now fully the MPC song mode and arrangement its different from using the Daws I have been using over the many years I like the challenge of the MPC song mode once I get it down pack I can see it being more awesome and grate with the human interaction given the arrangement more of a human feel and spontaneity lol more relalict feel 👍🏾😷👍🏾🙏🏾👊🏽

@farrang Год назад

Thanks so much! This just pushed me to the next level!

@MrScrooge1980 3 года назад

Double the length of the sequence and instantly muting on the fly has always been more organic, u just gotta know where to mute for the chorus, I've mastered it over the years since the Ren, I found out by accident, it definitely takes practice tho frfr

@davidcooke779 Год назад

This is so handy. Even if it's just for make a rough arrangement in Song mode. Worth mentioning that you can remove unwanted track mutes by going into the List edit view for the appropriate track/sequence.

@pcteentim Год назад

Thanks, Ave! It helped a lot. Very well explained. I just would like to know how to mute_solo different parts of each sequence, use better “next sequence” feature, and put the sequences in order (pads in next sequence follow it) without just copying, which deletes the first one. So, I have to put the sequence to a not used one and then turn it back, but it was giving problems, like changing other order or disappearing…

@thomasusheriii971 Год назад

Very nice tutorial. So when you want to change a track within a copied over sequence you need to press "Record" not "overdub" in order to replace the melody or whatever with the new layout. I was trying to overdub and my whole song got sounded messed up after exporting. I'm real new to this all. Thanks for your help.

@agguth7 3 года назад

Excellent video! I'm thinking about jumping ship from Maschine Studio and seeing this workflow was really helpful. Plus the fact that I can convert all my Maschine kits to MPC format really makes it tempting. The only thing that has me hesitating is not really hearing any good demos of the onboard effects and instruments. I know AIR is a good company and I know I can export my VST's out to the MPC from the computer. Standalone MPC Live II is the dream. You really clarified some things for me. Plus, the beat is dope! Thanks bro. All subbed up. Looking forward to more

@Sinosure 3 года назад

Great great video bruh!! I use various ways to do this but I normally do what you did at about 16:00 minutes. I create one whole sequence in song mode, then go back to the TRACK MUTE PAGE & record the whole session in one take!! Nice work!! Various ways to do it & get it done!! I'm definitely looking forward to ARRANGER MODE 3.0 as they're calling it!! If it's similar or the same as in the Force, we'll be golden!! Dope bruh!!👊🏾💯

@sylegg 3 года назад

Fantastic video Ave. I always thought track mutes were global. This has opened up a world of possibilities. A great follow up to this would be great if you could do a video about how to track out songs with multiple bpms. I just discovered how to do it with loopback the Mpc software and Logic Pro. I’m sure others would be interested too. Excellent work as always
