It's amazing how you can be helpful and serious while at the same time be playful and full of energy, great video. The beat was fire too and your tutorial was really helpful
you're such a positive guy, I love the energy and the humor. this video really helped me out, I just ordered an akai mini thanks to you. thank you! I subscribed
I have been hinting to my mom that I want this for a while. Coming from long lines of doctors and lawyers, everyone is kind of confused of my fascination and love of music. But they are all super supportive of it. I really hope I get it for Christmas because I want to not only study music performance, I also want to study music production and audio stuff in general. I really hope I get it. Thanks for the video, it was very insightful.
feelings of anxiety! attending the discotheque Thank you so much for watching!!! And that's awesome!!! I truly hope that you can get this instrument!! It is so helpful when composing music and it even helps you step in the shoes of professional producers. They use instruments similar to this. When it comes to performance, they normally have the track-that was made by this powerful instrument-and rap/sing over it. Music is cool and I definitely support your decision to follow such a passion. Keep achieving man!!!
you showed true talent I was just glancing thru browser on UA-cam but I'm upcoming producer from Houston Texas with Solive entertainment I appreciate the enthusiasm in showing sum how to put it together chorus Melody and reverb
Thanks. I'm getting my wife one of these for her birthday. I'll give her the link to this video on the card. I love your dance routine. I wish you were my brother. Peace
Nice Video! Could you maybe do a tutorial on how you set up the MPK mini with logic? I got it for christmas and really wanna use it.. would be great if you could help me!
Levi Nier I'm so happy for you!!!!! I don't have Logic at the moment but I figure that it it has a similar process to GarageBand. Create a new track and select a piano or synthesizer.
Great video, you're cool too! I am going to buy this along with a new laptop but I can't afford a Mac, so therefore no GarageBand, can you recommend a good programme to use? FLStudios?
Danny Cutmore Thank you so much!!!!! Since the Akai keyboard is a midi keyboard, it should work with all music softwares that is midi capable. I hope it works out for you!!!
Hi! I was wondering how to get rid of the pressure sensitivity for the keys? I thought the Full Level button would get rid of the sensitivity for the keys but it only works for the 8 pads :c Do I have to turn of the sensitivity through garage band?
Sassy Squirtle You unfortunately cannot change the pressure of the keys, only the pads. Different music softwares may have a feature that can keep the touch sound consistent.
I'm a bass player, but I wanna get into this kinda stuff, what kind of soft ware do I need, and could you do a tutorial on it? And recording software's ?
This really got me thinking hard if I should buy AKAI MPK MINI 25 (MKII) because lit look so good to create beats. It's a bit pricey but this really got me thinking about since I really want to make my own beats in garage band, but never really got the chance to.
+Joss Malcomson Thank you!!!!! There is unfortunately no way you can use this as an audio interface but there are some affordable audio interfaces on eBay and Amazon!
How do you record the drums when using the garage band, for some reason it wont let me record/loop the drum pads. Can you please make a tutorial video showing the process? PLEEEEASE!!
A.B. Hmm, I am not sure why GarageBand won't let you record or loop the drums. Try restarting your computer, unplugging the midi controller your using, and try it all over again. If that doesn't work, try researching GarageBand troubleshooting articles. There are a lot out there. I hope everything works out for you!!
awesome! but that strong bass beat 2:15 , that can't be playing on your macbook can it? are you running that through a speaker somewhere? It's really hard for me to ever hear a good beat on my macbook (no bass from speakers)?
Lpk25 dose not work with me!! my mac book dose not recognize the keybord . Theere is no sound . please if any one had this issue tell me what to do Thx
Whenever i get to using garage band, i start thinking im going to compose a new dubstep song, but come out only with 30 seconds of proper music, any advice?
+Big man Thank you!! And yes, it should be fine. I hear a lot of negativity about Mac Minis but it's very affordable. I'd say try purchasing an older MacBook Pro or check out the Mac Mini. Thank you for watching!
+Max Paga Hey!! MacBook unibody might be a little too old. It goes very slow. Try to do the best you can to purchase a MacBook Pro. They can be expensive but try getting one used. It's definitely worth it.
hi again! I have a macbook 2012 and its not letting me download garageband, does this have something to do with the fact of how old the computer is?!? you have garagband does that come with the unibody?thx a lot again!!!!!(i hope that made sense)
+welkula Thank you so much!!!! Everything you heard was composed by me. The only thing that was stock were the sounds that were preprogrammed but I composed the melody and drum track.
+welkula No, all of those sounds come from the music software that you are using with the keyboard. Thus keyboard sendS MIDI signals so that you can get those sounds when you hit a certain key
Great beat i like it! Damn, i cant afford Mac and MIDI controller, it is too expensive for me. I know that mac is simpler to use because it has built in software for mac users. Could you recommend different software? Thanks.
+ilo-ilo girl That's strange I tried researching customer care contact information for you but it seems that they are located in India. Try making another account with a new email. You don't need the software to use the keyboard but it can be beneficial.
+DroneXFun It's all good! There are mini recording studios that don't need a computer such as the Tascam DP-006 but you would still need some kind of keyboard or other source of sound to get the sounds that you want into the interface that you are recording in
Been using this machine for 3 years and it’s still holding strong! One of the keys don’t work but for $99, it is a wonderful deal and product. Thank you for the support!
I'm not sure of how to connect a USB MIDI keyboard to a cell phone. There may be an adaptor that will allow that but I am not aware of any. iPads (and all other Apple devices) come with GarageBand which is free which is what I use for my MIDI projects. The incompatibility between USB MDI keyboards and an iPad stops people from using MIDI between the two.
I want to make beats and stuff like that. I have absolutely no experience, should I get a Novation Launchpad Mini or this? Im going to probably get samples from songs and things like that.
+Sparryax Id say this keyboard because it I am familiar with it but my budget has changed lol. Whichever offers the features you are looking for that can also fit your budget. I hope you enjoy either one!!!!! :)
+Zmaj Krilic Try researching how to use this keyboard with FL Studio or even contact customer care for FL Studio. I don't use FL Studio and am unfamiliar with how it works. I hope this works!
idk what it is, but i like you, you're just instantly likable wth
2GirlsPlayGames Lol thank you so much!!!!!! 😂😂 I truly appreciate it 😊😊
2GirlsPlayGames lol same

+Pureloveproductions Tube This keyboard is so convenient!!!!!!
My akai mini will be arriving on 26th Feb 2018 and am supper excited like this guy😂

Nice Video! Could you maybe do a tutorial on how you set up the MPK mini with logic?
I got it for christmas and really wanna use it.. would be great if you could help me!
Levi Nier I'm so happy for you!!!!! I don't have Logic at the moment but I figure that it it has a similar process to GarageBand. Create a new track and select a piano or synthesizer.
Great, headway, enjoyable tutorial! Much appreciation!!!
+Mr Melancholy Thank you!!!!! Much appreciation to you as well!!!!!! :D

Sassy Squirtle You unfortunately cannot change the pressure of the keys, only the pads. Different music softwares may have a feature that can keep the touch sound consistent.

+Sassy Squirtle No problem!!!!! Thank you so much for watching!!!! 😊😊😊
I watch this video over and over and over again.
D.W .6-strings which software is suitable to compose a Music in apk midi keyboard......
Sur Ya Any software!!
u were the instrumental in my decision to purchase the akai mpk mini.thanks
+K dub I'm feel so honored!!!!!!! Thank you!!!!!!!
These have mini-keys, right? Are they difficult to play with, because of their small size?
Gabriel Abrantes Not at all! I find no difficulty when playing this keyboard. The action is also very smooth. Definitely worth it!
Nice video! The ending reminded of what Dwight Shrute would do XD
Tomas Chatila 😂😂😂 Its lit
You're personality is awesome and you're funny! Subbed!
BlazertronGames Thank you!!!!! 😁😁
Outro hip as fuck lmao
AhmedJihad-JihadOnline 😂😂 Thank you!!!!
i lmao so hard
+King Eruca 😂😂😂 I'm glad!!
I'm a bass player, but I wanna get into this kinda stuff, what kind of soft ware do I need, and could you do a tutorial on it? And recording software's ?
Hey! Any DAW/music software will be good for it.
D.W. 6-Strings Thanks! Love your vid btw!
Thank you for watching and for the feedback!!
this lil thing is pretty neat...can take it everywhere on the go with ease...might cop
+Boom Bap Raw Yes, it's definitely a must have
hey u think u can go in debt of how u put the samples on the keyboard plz and keep up the good work
+Zabian Zuniga Thank you so much!!!! Yes, I will look into that and do a tutorial on it!!
This really got me thinking hard if I should buy AKAI MPK MINI 25 (MKII) because lit look so good to create beats. It's a bit pricey but this really got me thinking about since I really want to make my own beats in garage band, but never really got the chance to.
Thank you for watching! This keyboard is very useful and will help beat making be much longer more enjoyable.
Hi, awesome video, I am defiantly going to get this thing!! One question though, is there a way to use it as an audio interface ? have a good day :)
+Joss Malcomson Thank you!!!!! There is unfortunately no way you can use this as an audio interface but there are some affordable audio interfaces on eBay and Amazon!
can we do transpose the key?
+EMMANUEL GALIDO You can transpose during the process of producing but I doubt that GarageBand will automatically transpose the notes electronically
How do you record the drums when using the garage band, for some reason it wont let me record/loop the drum pads. Can you please make a tutorial video showing the process? PLEEEEASE!!
A.B. Hmm, I am not sure why GarageBand won't let you record or loop the drums. Try restarting your computer, unplugging the midi controller your using, and try it all over again.

D.W. 6-Strings Happy New Year to you too!!!
You are wonderful and adorable! Thank you so much. Your post is one of the first that is clear.
+E Kasongo Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😆😆😆😆😆😆
Would you recommend the akai mini for beginners that have very little experience?
Yes, very useful for musicians of all levels!
nice video what instrument did you use for the melody starting off
Thank you for watching! I used the keyboard that I discussed in the video.
D.W. 6-Strings. ok what sound did you use what plugin
All of the sounds are in GarageBand. You can customize the sounds.
Great video, what MacBook is that?
Thank you! That is the MacBook unibody
Was your outro dance inspired by Sia clips?
I am screaming!!! This is awesome🙌
Thank you for your support! 💯
D.W. 6-Strings This looks so awesome, do you know a place where I can get mine. Also are you using garage band
+Stepp Nadelman Guitar Center & yes

you're an awesome beatmaker and an even better dancer
Thank you man!!!! I will keep it up!!!

Lpk25 dose not work with me!!
my mac book dose not recognize the keybord . Theere is no sound .
please if any one had this issue tell me what to do
Thx
Rana Abdulaziz Hey! Try opening GarageBand and opening the preferences and go to the MIDI section and click akai mpk keyboard
thank it works , but how can i make the sound as normal as the normal piano !!?
+Rana Abdulaziz You have to select the track that you are recording on and change it to grand piano. It should already come as grand piano
Thank u a lot!!!!!!!!
Awesome video :)
I subscribed and keep it up bro!
+Ren Kotaki Thank you so much!!!!!! I surely will!!!! 😀
Man, you're so crazy! :)) Nice video. Keep it up!
+deKarp Thank you!!!! I surely will!!!!!! 😁😁
is it good for having it for fan ?like make music just for fan and not for production ?
+moshiko azraf Yes!! Whatever you'd like!!
Whenever i get to using garage band, i start thinking im going to compose a new dubstep song, but come out only with 30 seconds of proper music, any advice?
+Max Start with that 30 seconds and keep working on it. Just keep adding to it
lolol loved the video man! keep making those beats! and keep up the dancing hahahaha
Thank you! I sure will 😁
what laptop can that be plugged into it is there a certain type or..?
Troubletwins T Any laptop with a USB port can be used
aw okay thankyou!
Does this work with walk band? Cause I have a Android
I have never tried it. If the Android app and connection is compatible, all should go well
Is the 2010 white macbook good enough to produce music with?
HydroPolitoed Yes. I still produce music on it and many more things!! It's still powerful.
its not powerful at all. as a computer geek im triggred
So fun and useful! Mac Mini + Garage Band => Good for this?
+Big man Thank you!! And yes, it should be fine. I hear a lot of negativity about Mac Minis but it's very affordable. I'd say try purchasing an older MacBook Pro or check out the Mac Mini. Thank you for watching!
Thanks too!!!
what was the sound called you were using when you put the chords in there
+James summers I totally forgot the name of the sound that I was using 😩😩
hi I was wondering if the macbook unibody is a good computer for the aka mpk mini and a good computer for garage band too. thx and please reaspond!!
+Max Paga Hey!! MacBook unibody might be a little too old. It goes very slow. Try to do the best you can to purchase a MacBook Pro. They can be expensive but try getting one used. It's definitely worth it.
D.W. 6-Strings thx for the suggestion bro!
D.W. 6-Strings lovin the videos too!!!
+Max Paga No problem and thank you!!!!!! 😁😁😁😁
Great video... what music software is that please
+Tyrique Thank you!!!!! GarageBand
do i have to pay for it
+Tyrique Pay for the music software or the keyboard?
I got mine for 65 on amazon and it came in today lol it's awesome I love it
Layla December That's exciting!!!!! I'm so glad that you got one!!! Especially for such a low price!!!
LMAO that ending. I like you man you're good.
Thank you!!!! 😁😁😁😁
hi again! I have a macbook 2012 and its not letting me download garageband, does this have something to do with the fact of how old the computer is?!? you have garagband does that come with the unibody?thx a lot again!!!!!(i hope that made sense)
other software's are too complicated and garagband is the only software that's easy and cheap.cheers again!!
Awesome! Wich software do you use? :)
Garageband 😁
Very charismatic lol! You seem chill and also underrated. Subbed.
Dashie's Old Music Thank you!!!!!!!😃
Love it! Are the drum samples and melody sounds stock on the Akai mini or are those pushed out through garage band? Thanx for the vid!
+welkula Thank you so much!!!! Everything you heard was composed by me. The only thing that was stock were the sounds that were preprogrammed but I composed the melody and drum track.
+welkula There are many different loops that GarageBand offers however.
Word, just to clarify, if i order this MIDI device it comes stock with drum banks and synth sounds?
+welkula No, all of those sounds come from the music software that you are using with the keyboard. Thus keyboard sendS MIDI signals so that you can get those sounds when you hit a certain key
So does the keyboard come with all the piano sounds etc I'm new to fl n planning to buy let me know soon
DeAngelo Williams no
How do you transfer the beat you want on to the pads?
Loved the review
Thank you for watching! 😁
Great beat i like it!
Damn, i cant afford Mac and MIDI controller, it is too expensive for me. I know that mac is simpler to use because it has built in software for mac users. Could you recommend different software?
Thanks.
Eterno Games I would recommend FL Studio. Other DAW's are very expensive but FL studio is less than a brand new MacBook
D.W. 6-Strings I guess i have to check FL studio then. Thanks.
Eterno Games No problem!!!!!😊😊
nice job bro! what laptop are you using?
Masianradomness Studio Thank you!!!!! I am using the 2010 MacBook Unibody
thanks bro. keep making vids cuz I'm subscribing
Masianradomness Studio I appreciate it!!!! I surely will
im saving up to buy one, great video dude really funny too :D
skaindo That's awesome!!!! And thank you!!!!! 😄😄
are there any other apps that have the same functions as Garage Band because i use Windows Thank u !
Vic Tu There is a music software named FL Studio which is compatible with Windows computers! It is very well known and useful.
Thank u very much!!
Nice one dude^^ keep on making those awesome vids. New sub to ya hehe
Thanks much!!! 😁

You are a legend. Im getting this
+Patch 😂😂 Thank you!!!!!!!!! You're gonna enjoy it!!!!!!!! 😆😆
I signed up in the akaipro website but it wont let me log in... so i cannot register my product and install the software 🙁
+ilo-ilo girl That's strange I tried researching customer care contact information for you but it seems that they are located in India. Try making another account with a new email. You don't need the software to use the keyboard but it can be beneficial.
D.W. 6-Strings D.W. 6-Strings ok ill try that :) how can i use the keyboard without installing the software? Thank you
is it OK to have this and a mpc or mpd?
+iiispongebob I'm not sure if either make a difference. I'm assuming both will work!!!! 😊😊
love ur reaction brother..God bless you..
Thank you! 😁
Awesome tutorial by the way...Excellent!!
A.B. Thank you!!!!! 😃😁
man I really love your video! thanks for this!
David Almeida Thank you so much!!!!!! I feel so honored!!!!!!!
Please forgive my ignorance but are there machines like this that don't require a computer? Thanks a million
+DroneXFun It's all good! There are mini recording studios that don't need a computer such as the Tascam DP-006 but you would still need some kind of keyboard or other source of sound to get the sounds that you want into the interface that you are recording in
I've heard that this product isn't the most durable, how has yours lasted over the years? Also, how do the keys feel? Thanks in advance
Been using this machine for 3 years and it’s still holding strong! One of the keys don’t work but for $99, it is a wonderful deal and product. Thank you for the support!
@@dwith6strings when did it break? Awesome vid btw

D.W. 6-Strings looking forward to see it!
does anyone knows how to activate joystick ? it doesnt react at all pls help :(
+Zmaj Krilic It should work right off the bat. Try unplugging the keyboard, restarting the computer, plug it back in and see if that works
when im clicking joystick in fl studio it in left corner shows question mark in green and sign mulilink conrolers .... please help me mate....
+Zmaj Krilic Try researching how to use this keyboard with FL Studio or even contact customer care for FL Studio. I don't use FL Studio and am unfamiliar with how it works. I hope this works!
Does this keyboard get full functionality in GarageBand?
Thomas L Yes
are the sounds that it made from the thing itself or garageband?
Victoria Ortaleza GarageBand
Lots of good information and a healthy dose of silliness. I see great things for the future of your UA-cam channel. Keep it up!

I really need this AKAI MPK MINI
is it generally possible to add a voice ?
louisa- chen What do you mean? Add a certain sound to a key on the piano?
No, recording a voice via a mikrophon and add it to the beat?
+louisa- chen You should be able to. That all depends on the music software that you are using on your computer
But do you know if it works with the software that comes with the keyboard?
+louisa- chen No. That software is only for customizing the keyboard settings.
I would love it! So as a small musician like me I will learn how to use it tho.
That’s awesome! It is very useful.
What software do you use??
+Calvin Kin GarageBand ☺️☺️
