Hey man I wasn’t feeling none off the new mpc’s after the 2000xl, anyways 2 weeks ago I decided to take the dive and brought a mpc live 2. Man was I blown away, so late to the party. Lol it’s amazing.
Akai should give you a commission because they just sold another mpc live 2 thanks to you. Also that counter melody gave me that stank face! Keep it up bro
@@VeracityTT No fam, it'll be an already digital audio going to an analog interface. The sample is already a saved WAV file; ie Digital. 'Truly Pure Analog' would be like; Recording vocals with an Analog MIC or an Electric Guitar DI signal through an Analog Interface, imprinted on some type of analog medium like Cassette Tape or Vinyl. And for the listeners to get the Pure Analog experience they would need an Analog Tape or Vinyl Player. But this entire debate is silly and a waste of time and energy. Given that most of the reasons we love the sound of analog can be replicated with digital effects plugin like XLN Audio RC20 or better yet Modeling of actual analog gear like IK Multimedia T-Racks.
@@VeracityTT In the end Digital give it to you RAW or as RAW as it gets for the time being. And the quality is CONSISTENT. Then you can add your own desired effects using plugins or even some recording techniques. That is what makes Digital precious in my opinion. Compared to Analog where what you get is what you get and it's wildly inconsistent. Virtually any analog gear will sound different (even if slightly) each time you use it; as it ages, depending on the environment (is it Hot, is it Cold), etc. I am speaking as a hardcore lover and practitioner of Old School/Lofi Boom Bap But, we mustn't let nostalgia prevent us from acknowledging the truth and act accordingly.
@@entmedias4965 wow - finally a true answer. People don’t understand the only difference is the converters, that’s it. People just don’t sample no more. Just coping mp3 files and saying “I miss that sound”. Of course you do - hook your phone to the analog input and sample - booom! And for the live - just go in hot with the phono input and boom. Kids need to check it and don’t eye for the older models, this girl can do it all and more
Bro, today is been my first day watching your videos. Already a fan, and planning to get an mpc. 😂 that's crazy I'm fl gang, but those MPC look cool af. You make great content bro. Congrats
Love your video's. Got a question for you. I worked with a few rappers. A few of them wasn't feeling my beats. Do you think this will give me better beats?
Yo Bolo. I can’t get any sound to play from my splice in the MPC x. I already disconnected and reconnected my account. Still does not play the files even thou I can see the files.
Thank you for the video my brother, I been following your videos for a minute when I got the live2 retro and what you just did as just sealed the deal on me getting the MPC X as one to keep at home and the other for travel, salute to you Bolo.
Dope video! I bought the drum kits last week and am loving them so far. Lately I have been wanting an MPC, although I have no experience with that kind of gear. Living vicariously watching you cook up!
@@MvnStn i hear that, i have the maschine studio. i like the work flow but it is nothing like an mpc. i'm going for that live 2. i will keep this but i probably won't use it after i get that mpc.
@@jayfiya5230 yea the main reason mine has dust is bc I could barely get it to work with FL, and even then it was very limited. Basically a midi keyboard, which I already have.. lol And I hear ya on not using Maschine after using the Live 2 lol. Good luck!
If you do not need the built in speakers and CV outs go with the original Live. You can get great deals on them and they travel the best out of all the units.
@@dandanndannnnnn The CV ports allow you to connect the MPC to a modular synth collection. If you search modular synthesis here on UA-cam you will see some crazy stuff.
Right! What is it about making hip-hop/rap that makes folks want to knock somebody else's process? "You didn't sample that off vinyl", "FL Studio 10 is better than FL21", "You should use FL instead of..." Damn...just make music!
Look, crate diggers who have never had a project shut down for not clearing a sample live in an imaginary world and they have a very rude awakening coming. Oh, and thanks for showing us how to do this, I thought there was a way to do it, sure enough, you knew. Keep doing the damn thing, Bolo.
Quick routing problem. Trying to see of someone knows the answer. Is there a way to have a computer and mpc live 2 connect to a usb hub and have the audio play through a USB mixer? If so, what kind of hub? Powered or non powered?
I'm surprised you didnt get the "limited edition" retro version. Since that seems like the most popular version. But I prefer the regular black version.
Bolo u a beast. U make it look so easy I’ve seen make plenty of heat on everything I really respect your mind& the reality u bring to the game&the table I really like to be a student I kno a little I have a mpc live1&a mpc 1 do u teach if u don’t u should u could make a hella Instructer &make serious bread ure good at explaining the art of everything u do wen u do it could u teach me then maybe we could start a Skool together who knows what the future holds just saying!!!!!!!!
Just saw the Live II for $700 dollars. I know this is not software based but I want to know what I should be looking for or be concerned about other than if the unit works when purchasing a used unit. Can I get the software for the computer without any problems from the manufacturer because it was purchased used? Thanks Bolo
Make Sure y’all follow me on IG!! instagram.com/BoloDaProducer
Great video dope beat bro I just went on your website and got all three of your drum kits keep the heat coming bro
done deal, i could have sworn i had been followed you on there.
Thanks for showing all these Akai MPC videos. I just ordered my Akai MPC one because of your videos.
Hope you used my link!!!!!!💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾🔥🔥🔥🔥
Hey man I wasn’t feeling none off the new mpc’s after the 2000xl, anyways 2 weeks ago I decided to take the dive and brought a mpc live 2. Man was I blown away, so late to the party. Lol it’s amazing.
Same. Just got the Live 2 about a month ago. Before that the newest MP I had was the 4000.
U wasn't diggin da 4k?
im glad to read you openend up your mind for this amazing new generation. must have felt like some chains have been broken coming from the 2k xl
Bro, do you still love it???
Yes
Akai should give you a commission because they just sold another mpc live 2 thanks to you. Also that counter melody gave me that stank face! Keep it up bro
Thanks!
I wish they did 😂
yeah i felt that counter melody in my soul.. 🙏🏽🎹
I also have one right now. I fucking love it. Much better than my verselab
Yup just sold another one because of this video too. Akai- pay this man.
I love my live 2 glad you got one ...
I’m loving this mofo, I’ve done like 40 beats in two weeks with it. Did 15 in one day. Learning so much on it plus the battery life is pretty good.
💪🏾
Fire as usual
Channel dope a must watch definitely inspiring
Thanks!
Live 2 was my first and I love it. I wouldn't really say it's "analog" - it's all basically digital with a built-in computer.
Some would argue the same about all MPC’s lmao “analog” is used contextually at this point
@@jamilkadhim2366 true, but signal path on the old ones were still analog. The modern MPCs are entirely digital in terms of audio processing.
@@VeracityTT No fam, it'll be an already digital audio going to an analog interface.

I’m so technical with my machine I keep thinking I’m doing shit wrong. But now I see I’m doing everything right!💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾🔥🔥🔥🔥
Dope beat! Love your videos! Thanks for the inspiration
I'm definitely getting the Live 2 coming from the MPC Studio
I love the warp settings.
Love the MPC content Bo NICE 👍🏾 . #MPCGANG
Bolo is amazing. Thank you for sharing your gifts and talents. Blessings!
Just bought my MPC LIVE II! I LOVE IT!

Yo, that lil button you just hit to get them all warping just put years back onto my life!
23:05 in bed with 🎧's. i cant wait until the morning to watch this 💻🔊
Dope beat! I'm still on the MPC Live 1 and love it!
What do you not like about the live 1?
Do I have the same mpc and I updated the firmware but it didn’t load no where near as many plug-ins just just 3. Am I forgetting something can u help?
You have to download the synth content for software and standalone. It’s in you Akai account
The Mpc Live2 is Legendary!!!
Mannn… this mpc is crazy! Definitely gotta cop
One of the FEW mpc users on youtube who's beats actually slap.
Thanks Bolo. How much better would you say the Live II is compared to an iPad and Beatmaker 3?
To me is only better because of sound quality other than that… it’s it’s pretty much even
This is dope bro!! MPC is the best man
Mane I love this, it makes everything so Eazy🌟🌟🌟🌟👌🏿
Bro, today is been my first day watching your videos. Already a fan, and planning to get an mpc. 😂 that's crazy I'm fl gang, but those MPC look cool af. You make great content bro. Congrats
Thanks Big Homie , Stay blessed and stay real .
Got the one last week and can already tell a huge difference in sound quality
💪🏾💪🏾🔥🔥🔥
@@BoloDaProducer you always used to say for some reason my beats sound better on the MPC.
Sampling is sampling!💯
Love your video's! What case and book bag do you put your mpc live 2 in?
UH HUH, I hear you. Keepin' it simple and Funky! As always thanks for the demo
Dope!!!!!! Splice is the Truth! Been on splice since 2016 and I also dig in the crates as well. Just another tool to add to the arsenal. Salute Bolo!
Dope video my G! 👌🏿👊🏿
Was looking everywhere for a simple video on how to change tempo of sample without losing its key and tempo.
Right. A sample is a sample. Timbaland stated the same thing you said.
Love your video's. Got a question for you. I worked with a few rappers. A few of them wasn't feeling my beats. Do you think this will give me better beats?
Yes
Great video. I love this Mpc Live 2. Awesome equipment
Wow the bass was hitting so hard it knocked the camera over. True 🔥🔥🔥👍
🔥🔥🔥
Just got one today.. Very impressed. Much more user friendly than my Octatrack (which I love).
I still my get the Octo just to play around with.. heard great things about it
Dope mane 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Nice work Bolo.
You've become my favorite producer love your videos
Thanks!
Where can I send you some of my beats to check out
Nice vid!. Question, can you bypass the on-board speaker?
Got this in March to go with my X. I really like it a lot.
Yo Bolo. I can’t get any sound to play from my splice in the MPC x. I already disconnected and reconnected my account. Still does not play the files even thou I can see the files.
🤔
One of my friends had it and I didn’t understand it or like it but now I do 🙌🏿
You gotta know how to use it, it’s the best 1 yet
Fools hate on new technology and short cuts, but not realizing the short cuts help you be more creative
Great content! Would love to see more videos like this.
Thank you for the video my brother, I been following your videos for a minute when I got the live2 retro and what you just did as just sealed the deal on me getting the MPC X as one to keep at home and the other for travel, salute to you Bolo.
I appreciate you bro! Hard beat.
You just taught me something today about the region 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
It's really nice, I need to watch more mpc live 2 videos before I can decide to buy it sometime soon hopefully, good beat by the way...
patch phrase is awesome too!
You da man boooooooooooooooooolooooooooo0o0oo000
Yo amazing video! Question how is the export process to a daw like? stems and all that stuff, is it quick and easy. thanks
Super dope!!!!!!! 💪🏾💪🏾🔥🔥🔥🔥
How do I transpose the sample do you have a video on that?
A lot to explain I’ll make video on it. But you have to use warp function
👍🏾luv my live2👍🏾🔥
Wait.. did he say hit the thumb up or down... I don't care?
No, he said I REALLY don’t care…
Leaned something today never used warp like that before now I know lol thank you
Dope video I been saying the lives is worth they weight in gold.
Me too dope bro 😎
My man... salute!
Tight work!!!
As Usual! 🔥 🔥 🔥
I have an mpcx but i was looking at buying a live 2 lastnight. Think ill just go get one! Its $2700 here in NZ
Dope video! I bought the drum kits last week and am loving them so far. Lately I have been wanting an MPC, although I have no experience with that kind of gear. Living vicariously watching you cook up!
waiting on this settlement money... i'm getting mines. i just drool watching everyone else have fun. Maschine is not cutting it for me.
@@jayfiya5230 I have the maschine mk 2 mikro, and watching him do this makes me wanna blow the dust off it.. lol long FL Studio user here.
@@MvnStn i hear that, i have the maschine studio. i like the work flow but it is nothing like an mpc. i'm going for that live 2. i will keep this but i probably won't use it after i get that mpc.
@@MvnStn and i can't get this to work right in fl, so i don't use fl like that. but that is my program right there.
@@jayfiya5230 yea the main reason mine has dust is bc I could barely get it to work with FL, and even then it was very limited. Basically a midi keyboard, which I already have.. lol And I hear ya on not using Maschine after using the Live 2 lol.
Good luck!
Nice beat I think I might have to get me a MPC LIVE 2!!! ✊🏾💯
This 🔥🥵
Tight beat bro
Hmm.... Why did "I'm a Believer" by the Monkees pop into my head?
Weird.... 😉
Got an MPC One and I'm loving it.
If you do not need the built in speakers and CV outs go with the original Live. You can get great deals on them and they travel the best out of all the units.
True!
What are the cv outlets used for bro?

Sampling is sampling whether if it’s a record or from splice or whatever as long as the copy rights are straight!

Ooof that hat cleeeeean, son!
If you could pick only one to make beats: MPC One, MPC X, Live II, or Force?
H'es going to say MPC X. He already said it was his fav in a video before.
You are correct! The X is my favorite
Thanks!
Bolo ALSO the Truth, tbh
I just purchased my Mpc Live 2 live today any tips ?
Turn it on and learn something new about everyday. In about a month you’ll be surprised how good you’ll be on it
Look, crate diggers who have never had a project shut down for not clearing a sample live in an imaginary world and they have a very rude awakening coming. Oh, and thanks for showing us how to do this, I thought there was a way to do it, sure enough, you knew. Keep doing the damn thing, Bolo.

Ayo Bolo Fire beat!! How do you add your voice tag to the beat making sure everything is on key and in time?
I just add a timed delay to it
Much appreciated bro👌🏽😀
Fireeee 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Bolo! Keep them coming. Wheres the case from? Thx
Bolo are those the speakers on the Live 2 or your monitors we’re hearing?
Monitors
Dope 🔥
Nice video✊🏾
How about your MPC Live 2 vs Beatmaker 3?
I ❤ Mine 💪👀💯
How do you add Splice to the MPC Live 2??
Just saw the Live II for $700 dollars.
