      Hi, does does this replace the mpc essentials? I hope so as I’m struggling to get motivated with mpc essentials. It seems much easier to learn by the akai mpc beats academy video 👈🏻

      EPIX ANIMATIONS 😂 give it some time and chill out. I found the mpc essentials really hard and gave up.. until the mpc beats came along. This is way better and after watching this gentleman’s videos and the mpc academy a few times I’m actually starting to get the hang of this!
      And thumbs up to Mathew for a great video 👍🏻nice one Mat

    At first I was like, WTH was Akai thinking for releasing this but now I think about it, its brilliant. Getting people into learning the MPC software for free and once they get more advanced, they can then update to the full MPC 2.80 version.

      I think it is good for people wanting to start making music in general. Great free way to get started. Also, it is a good way for someone coming from another software to test out the MPC Software to see if it a good fit.

      Yeah, it's weird. They make a whole bunch of tutorial videos on the AKAI site for it, but none of them really help. All require way too much pre-existing knowledge and are explained too fast. I think they are trying to sell too much with these videos how quick and easy the use of the software is supposed to be to potential buyers of their hardware. And then once you buy, you are lost.
      This was the first video I found that actually helped get into the software.

    Just wanted to say thank you for making this tutorial Matthew. It has been really helpful getting me started.
    One thing I'd like to mention is that I'm using v20.10 of MPC Beats and , by default, the Track isn't armed. I was pulling my hair out wondering why I couldn't record anything until a kind Redditor, who had had the same problem, helped me out. Once I'd clicked the little circle to the right of "Track" on the left hand side all was well. Sort of obvious in hindsight, but isn't it always.

    Thank you for taking the time to make this vid Bro, I really appreciate this!
    I'm an OLD TIME user of MPC the Original Dominant piece or Hardware for Hip Hop back in the day, so I have stayed close to those roots by using iMPC on iOS.
    I recently started messing w/MIDI and interfacing with MPC Beats and I have to tell you that your Tutorial Video was the first that I watched - I'm very particular with the content style that I watch to learn things, so please take that as BIG compliment.
    You said to "post questions and/or comments..." so, the next natural progression for me is how to make more sequences or create variations of the 4 Bar Sequence that I've just created.
    If you have something like that already, it would be great and please point me in that direction. If not, then I suggest as a follow up to this video, a tutorial on "HOW TO MAKE VARIATIONS OF THE SEQUENCE or TRACKS THAT YOU CREATED HERE."
    Many thanks and keep up the good work my friend.

    Made it through the first 20 minutes. Managed to make a drum track and some chords to accompany it. Pretty happy with progress although my chords are a bit off but practise makes perfect!

    Thanks for the great tutorial, well paced and nicely conservative to avoid info overload, perfect for jumping into it with confidence! The more I play with MPC Beats, the more I realise how much feature clutter is holding up my creativity in other DAWS.

    Real good tutorial all day.. I had the software a few years ago when I bought an Akai Mpd226 but couldn't use it because I was on an older iMac os lion running Protools 8 le.. I have upgraded since then and been able to install it.. Looking good 👍

  • @PhilWilkinsonMusic
    @PhilWilkinsonMusic 3 роки тому +2

    Thanks for the tutorial really great.
    I know MPC beats is free but I just had the worst time trying to use it. I bought an MPD226 that double triggers pads constantly and Beats has so many bugs that
    between the two it's completely unusable for me. I have the latest software update and all but it just sucks. I'm going back to my Korg nano pad with logic for now haha. I'm really disappointed with
    Akai honestly.
