i am a guitarist old 80's school MIDI stuff This Pro Mini IS INSANE !!!!! Easily THE Best Most INTERESTING anything that I have ever bought IN MY LIFE !!!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED ! Thank you for the Vid I NEEDED it LOL If 12 year old Me Had this thing......................... IF 12 Year Old Me back then......................... It gets the Creative Juices not just Going BOILING !!!!!!
Thanks for showing us how to use the Oxygen Pro, there is definitely a lack of M-Audio Oxygen Pro tutorial and demo videos on UA-cam. Your instruction is clear and concise. I am using Studio One with Oxygen Pro 49, there is almost no videos about this combination.
Amazing stuff, Douglas, thank you again. You have saved me hours and hours of poking around in total darkness! Can't wait to receive my M-A OPM next week! 😉 Zs
Really Great tutorial man!! loved and learnt every second of it.. I just bought myself one AKAI MPK MINI MK3 and had no idea how to start.. With your help I might do something with it now.. Keep up the good work..
:3 Nice! I just learned how to copy bars in MPC Beats. Haha. You right-click the sequence section, and you can double, and so forth. This is what I came here for. I didn't really know how to do this, from what I remember since using this software since late 2022. Now, I just want to learn how to use the looper page. People don't really explain that much. I'm trying to make loops like regular loopers do. Shalom. :3

Awesome as usual Doug. Fingers crossed that you're going to do more how-to's on MPC beats. I use Studio One normally but MPC really puts the focus on providing a quick and easy workspace for making beats... while still keeping so many features that a professional daw should have! Cheers mate!!

Sooo good video. Is there any chance you can make a video : How to add maybe a second o even second sequence with a different tone recording…using your original recording tracks. So basically, 2 different sequences….
Douglas is it posibble you can show me how to include on your tracks how to add a second plug in…I have a plugin recorded nicely but for some reason it changes the same I recorded. Someone said you have to create another plu in, can you show me how…pleaasse😢
Hi Doug, thank you for this wonderful video. However I am having trouble in producing sounds using keys in mpc beats. It seems I am not able to get the proper settings to be able to use my keys to play along with the pads. Currently it is just mapping the sounds to pad. Do you know what settings change I should be doing in order to play using both pads and keys?
M Audio Oxygen Pro 25 is connected to my MPC software and my MPC studio. Can I map it my keyboard to both software or should I get Akai Mini keyboard for my MPC and just map my m audio to Studio one?
Nice demonstration of MPC beats. Would you show us how to build a more complex song, with a chorus and verse, maybe even an intro and extro. Some thing melodic and even show how the Mini-pro can generate the chords to back the melody? Eventually I want to create backing tracks that I can Triger the various sections of an instrumental song with my e-drum kit by assigning midi Triger note or CC's from my e-drum pads to MPC beats. Thank you.
Thanks! You should be able to use the fundamentals in this video to build your full beat in a shorter number of bars and then extend the length of your sequence to a full length song and use the track mutes to create your intro, verse, chorus, etc. Using chord mode is a good idea! I will give some thought to a more complex how to video!
I can record the mutes and unmutes..I also use tubesynth plugin and I want to record my lowpass filter knob movement too while recording the mutes and unmutes. This doesn't work. Is it not possible or do I something wrong?
When using MPC Beats with the OXygen Pro, do the play/Start buttons on the Oxygen also work with MPC Beats ? (So, i do not have to use the mouse to stop the track)
Im using Oxygen Pro 61. When I'm in mute mode, the pads don't do any mute at all. The preset sound keep playing like in the main mode. Am I doing somenting wrong? ;(
nice video, so I guess the covers you see on UA-cam with people looping and multitracking is precomposed for the most part and they just unmute tracks as needed while playing some lead over the top?
Hey how do you do a sequential loop like you did here, like a recording of different instruments coming in one bar at a time as you loop. If I hit record and do this, the playback will have all instruments playing at once rather than being sequential
Awesome dude! I'm learning so much! Once I have a good loop worthy of jamming over. How can I isolate my pitch control and not have it affect what's already been recorded?
Thanks! Hmm, that’s interesting. All I did was map the pads to the drum pads and that worked for track mute as well. No extra mapping in track mute was needed. Not sure why yours isn’t working!
@@DSoundman okay thanks for the reply. I'll try remapping today and see what happens. I've updated the firmware (thanks for that vid too) and stayed on MPC beats 2.8 as upgrading to 2.10 didn't seem to work well with the pro mini
@@gabedestellano thanks. I've got it working now and found I had to go to edit > preferences > MIDI/sync and make sure the Input Ports are set to CONTROL
I'm curious if you or someone knows how to plug in the pro mini into a rc-505. I tried to do a midi out from the oxygen pro mini to the loop station. I'm really not familiar with midi and how to set it up.
Another issue I ran into with this program was no sound with the usual ASIO 4 All 2 setting. I had to change it to ASIO for FL Studio to get ANY sound from MPC. Windows 11 issue possibly? Whatever... That was the fix Incase anyone else runs into a similar issue.
Hey Douglas on your oxygen pro mini can you select a different scale aside from the usual major/minor? I see you can access harmonic minor and other exotic scales in your video explaining the smart scale feature but on your chord mode tutorial it looked like it only gave you the choice for major/minor.
This is the best video on the entire UA-cam. Thank you. Even though I have the Akai Mini this explained live looping the best.

Your way of explaining is excellent. Really appreciate your efforts for making things simple !
Your videos were indeed very helpful. It helped me get into MCP Beats quickly because I was also using the Oxigen Pro Mini. Thank you very much.

Bro, very nice vid !
Can u add a noise from one program on one track and then record a overdub from another program wit it still making the old program noise
What can i do with the mod Wheel in mpc and how to User the sliders to Control volume of a Single Track?
I assume this also applies to the Oxygen Pro 25?
Yes!
Yeah, that's what I have and all the information is the same. Along with the same incorrect midi-mapping issue so you won't feel left out at all! 😂
I can record the mutes and unmutes..I also use tubesynth plugin and I want to record my lowpass filter knob movement too while recording the mutes and unmutes. This doesn't work. Is it not possible or do I something wrong?

Still waiting for video update? You still plan on doing it? Also wanted to see an export part of you can ad that
Thnx 🙏 was looking for a video like this… I have oxygen pro 49 … how do I make the most of it with GarageBand? Gr8 work bro 👌
Can you make this same video using Ableton? 😄
Thank you very much, very useful for live streaming.
Great inspiration. Well done sir.
Can you make a video how to record a track complete by m-audio oxygen pro mini for using for something please?
I just ordered my Oxygen Pro Mini but do I need a audio interface to do these ? Like so what audio interface do you use

Cannot decide between this and the novation launckey mini, please help
I use mpc beats within logic as a vst, but I can only have one intance of mpc beats open per logic project. Is there a fix for this?
can your make more vid's a bout this
Awesome dude! I'm learning so much! Once I have a good loop worthy of jamming over. How can I isolate my pitch control and not have it affect what's already been recorded?
Would you happen to know if this midi keyboard is compatible with Magix Music Maker?
Nice video. Any tips on mapping the pads to the track mute? The midi learn more worked for drum pads but not for track mute (on the pro mini)

@@burdGIS Make sure you're in the same bank of pads in both MPC and your O2 Pro
@@gabedestellano thanks. I've got it working now and found I had to go to edit > preferences > MIDI/sync and make sure the Input Ports are set to CONTROL
Wonderful i do really love it , but i just have a question please, can that control work with native or any other brand or not ? Thank you 🌹
I'm curious if you or someone knows how to plug in the pro mini into a rc-505. I tried to do a midi out from the oxygen pro mini to the loop station. I'm really not familiar with midi and how to set it up.

How to fix sound of mpc beast
Another issue I ran into with this program was no sound with the usual ASIO 4 All 2 setting. I had to change it to ASIO for FL Studio to get ANY sound from MPC. Windows 11 issue possibly? Whatever... That was the fix Incase anyone else runs into a similar issue.
Double-click on Stop to stop?!?!
Haha yeah right? Stop once stops the transport and stop a second time stops any ongoing loops that are playing. Seems like one stop would be enough!
Hey Douglas on your oxygen pro mini can you select a different scale aside from the usual major/minor? I see you can access harmonic minor and other exotic scales in your video explaining the smart scale feature but on your chord mode tutorial it looked like it only gave you the choice for major/minor.
Unfortunately chord mode only has major and minor…😕
Is there a way to create custom chords?
Can you control the note repeat and 16 levels from the oxygen pro?
That's a good question that I don't know the answer to. I'll have to play around with it and see if it's possible!
@@DSoundman thanks man. I know there's a note repeat button, didn't know if it was just external only or not.
Yes you can . When the global button is lit up. The four buttons under the faders are programmable.
Only problem is 16 level still requires a enter press.
@@ramsey4630 you mean activating it from the software?
What program are you using for making music?
Its soo defical to used i wist my mony and no free daw or software😢
thanks man!!!
Thanks for your work !
Cool :D
Please please please. Help I just gift an Oxygen 25 and can't for the life of me play it or program the keys
Hello sir all Vedio Hindi convert plz
man's teasing us with the mini when it sold out in Canada 😭
Haha sorry! Sucks that it's sold out in so many places right now! Hopefully they'll get it stocked soon!
Cool device. This certainly isn’t ‘writing’ music though. I think some people would be confused by that…
Idk beat sounded good to me, remember the beat is in they ear of the beholder, or something like that 😆
Looks complicated..
