NOTE: While the internal RAM of the device is 2GB, that is share with the operating system, so actual sample memory is less. Reports are of 600 to 800MB - which seems to be about right when I tried to load large samples, experience may vary when more is going on.

so true. loopop is always so 100% straight on point and focused on the essential information to be conveyed, that it almost feels unhuman. there are no fill words (uhm, ehm, mmmmh) or random silly / artificial behaviour, which is so rare these days.

@Usul 2 года назад

AKAI addressed some of the cons with the 2.10 release. It now supports 32 simultaneous inputs and outputs using a class compliant USB audio interface (which is crazy nuts). It is amazing to see AKAI stand behind their products like this. I can't think of very many companies in this business that are as committed to long-term improvement and growth of their platforms. It truly is a hallmark of a company that takes professional musicians and their needs seriously.

I’ve been making music since the late 80s and never used an MPC until a couple years ago when I got an MPC Live. And I’ve got to say, it’s totally blown me away. My next album will be done entirely on it, sampling hardware synths. It’s a fantastic piece of hardware.

@RoxwellZ 4 года назад

How long you been producing? I just purchased the live mk 2. I liked the idea of battery and speakers so i can be creative outside my studio. Sometimes the studio feels too home like and comfortable since i see it everyday. :)

@1980VINZ 3 года назад

@@RoxwellZ I totally feel you.... I’ve got a MPCX and now I’m thinking about buying also a Live2 to be able to continue my music in different places than my home, to being more productive and having the incredible freedom to do it everywhere...... that’s so cool. I’m even mind blown by the capability of this little machine, it’s a true portable MPCX.

@LanzaMartineta 3 года назад

@@1980VINZ the MPC X is a fabulous looking machine, my question for you is this. If I wanted to learn it from scratch how long would it take , and in your opinion, though it is very professional would you say it’s relatively easy , with a degree of concentration? Also...is it “really” the case that the MPC live is simply he fact that it’s portable, that’s the difference?...

@1980VINZ 3 года назад

@@LanzaMartineta the MPCX has more possibilities about what you can plug on it etc. It’s a real complete standalone workstation who can replace a PC and all the hardware stuff around it. You can have only the MPCX in your studio as your centerpiece and plug everything on it to produce music from start to finish. (But you can also put the MPCX into your already existing home studio to control your PC for example) The others MPC have exactly the same software and software possibilities but not the same hardware possibilities. (In & Out, user interface etc.) Check this: www.mpc-tutor.com/mpc-buyers-guide-mpc-one-vs-mpc-live-ii-vs-mpc-x/ And about the learning, it depends on you. But it’s pretty clear, way more than old machines. BUT, the potential and features are so huge, I think we can learn it a whole life to master 100% its possibilities... I’m not a professional, I make music by pleasure, I’m learning everything by myself and the MPCX is my first one. If you are motivated and having time, you can do what you want, even if the beginning is a bit complex, of course. But with internet and RU-vid (and obviously reading the user manual), you have all your answers. You should check tutorials on RU-vid to give you an idea before buying, or check the AKAI website support. (You can download for free the user manual for example, or better, the QuickStart guide 😉) EDIT : I’m French so sorry if my English is weird...

This was great! Just two notes, the Pro Ten Audio Warp setting is available in the MPC LIVE 1 not just the 2 under the general tab in settings. Also if you want the Q-Link overlay just hold down the Q-Link button on the MPC1 and touch the option SHOW Q-LINK STATUS WHEN TOUCHED, and then whenever you touch any of the q-link knobs that overlay pops up on screen!

@user-hl9rw4ww9o 4 года назад

man your reviews are really concise and well put togther - it's such a massive help, thanks! I think one of the main benefits I haven't seen anybody mention yet about having built-in monitor speakers is that taking regular breaks from using headphones is a really good thing for your ears (hearing). I'm not always wanting to produce at my desk where my monitors are, so I really like the addition of the speakers. I think this is one feature causing me to lean more towards spending the extra to get the Live 2, along with the other benefits of course. I think Akai are on it with the MPC line. +1 for the addition of connecting an audio interface, then can use mic pres and Hi-Z inputs for guitar!

Bought the Live 2 about a months ago, I didn't really think Id use the speaker much but for about $200 more than I was seeing a new Live ver 1 was going for I just said screw it and went for it, and to my surprise the speaker sounds pretty good, especially for just making a track ( not so much for mixing ) and Im using the speaker a lot more than I thought I would. Definitely makes it a lot more self contained. As far a portability, I wouldn't really take it out much unless maybe to a studio session somewhere , but for taking it outside my home studio and to another room in my house or out on my porch or lawn with my MKP Mini 2, its perfect.

@jonathansoko1085 2 года назад

Had the one for awhile now. So i solved the problem of not being able to expand the internal drive to an ssd by just getting a small usb drive with a ton of space and i basically rigged up a way to hook it to the side it to the side. Its obviously not quite as good but you almost cant even tell its there. Also SD cards being dirt cheap is also another way to go, i got like 5 256gb ones for under 50 bucks and ive recorded an entire album on the one standalone, vocals, mix and master all in the standalone box and it it didnt even fill up one 256gb card. If i had this in 1999 i woulda been mind blown that at 800$ you get a literal daw in a box that can mix master, sample, beat make sequence and record vocals...... under 1k$. Back then this probably woulda cost like 5000$. Important to note that the one now supports abelton live and you can finally access the SD card inserted into the mpc on the computer when in controller mode so you can now drag and drop files easily.

@TrNdke 4 года назад

Excellent review as always! Some good additions in 2.8. Now, I'm just looking forward to audio streaming and the drum synth they've been teasing. I gotta say, I'm really annoyed about the speaker on the Live MK II. It makes a honking brick of a unit even bigger. I have speakers, Akai, and if I want to hook them up they're better than that one. I don't want to carry it with me when most of the time I'm using headphones. I feel like they did it just to justify the MK II label. They should have just made the hardware creature comforts the new 2.0 version going forward and left its at that instead of pretending they made a whole new product. Even worse, they tied the extra I/O to being stuck with that speaker. The Live's "portability" was already mostly a function whether you wanted to take it out badly enough to lug it around. It's brilliantly portable in the house, though! Beats on the couch, beats in the kitchen, beats on the porch... It makes the Live a great composition tool.

@Philtho 3 года назад

I don't see it mentioned much, but for those wondering how well the speaker is on the Live II - think of it as a decent soundbar. It carries a lot of bass that you can feel it, and the mid and highs are also very well represented. It's very much usable for sitting outside, on the couch, in bed and getting that hard-hitting lows that professional headphones can give. They did not skimp out here and put the cheapest speakers they could find. Obviously, you'll want to monitor down the road with your more "professional" set up for final mixes, but do not discount the speakers. This device is a portable groovebox all-in-one you can take with you camping, vacations, etc.

Agreed with audio I/O. Would be great to use the unit as an effects processor for external instruments live, I do that with my Octatrack to process my synths (and use as a send return for external effects). And again, if they EVER implement disk streaming for long samples, then this really is the number one instrument for live bands of all kinds. I'm beginning to think it won't happen although I felt the same about multitimbral midi so who knows!

Headphone life has its benefits but it can hardly be called social or open. Its quite introvert if you ask me. So not having to carry a extra bluetooth speaker around to be able to get that sound out in the open, lets say on a rooftop jam in spain :) , the inbuilt speaker makes sense to me. The only thing still missing is a dedicated mic input with a nice preamp.

Thank you 🙏 what do you recommend me to get ? The MPC Live 2 is it a wasted of money?
