B Studio Tutorials: Learn M-Audio Midi Keyboard Axiom 25

[icecoldnfantastique]

how do you assign samples to the triggers on the axiom 25?

[abatareika]

@icecoldnfantastique You apply samples not on Axiom but in the software, in Logic there is such instrument called Sampler. use it and youtube for more info about it, very simple and much fun to play with.

[EVILMALC]

hello!! hey I need help with the software

I need a program to use my axiom 25!!!! I´ve been searching for one and I can´t find any software!!

please help me

[BatareikaStudio]

@EVILMALC There is no software for Axiom 25. Its the same as to say what is the software for the "mouse". Axiom is a tool for any software, same as any midi keyboard. Try using Garage Band, Logic, any music developer software, it will all do.

[TheSvs1]

what is this song....?

[BatareikaStudio]

@TheSvs1 Which song? Tell me the exact time you hear that song, I will let you know.

[Tatoshoes]

Ok thanks for Help Axel

[Tatoshoes]

Hi can you help me please,

Can tell me how I can remove the blue screen, a "cc". I would like to return to the original status. thank you Axel

[BatareikaStudio]

@Tatoshoes Try manual, I think you entered the program mode which is crap. I have no idea why they build so many nonsence into such a simple device. Try manual, it should help. I ussually get rid of it by pressing everything randomly- I am from Russia :) Russians dont read manuals!

[TheRobotnikWalrus]

@BatareikaStudio 3:23-3:34 what is the song?

[Nevadaboymedia]

hey bro, good vid, i got the 2nd gen axiom 25 keyboard, n im havin trouble figuring out how to run it with reason 4? and protools 8 le.. Im sittin here on youtube watching all these vidz, n i still cant get it.. maybe you or sumone here can help.. NV!

[BatareikaStudio]

@Nevadaboymedia strange, it should work out of box.Find the way to play midi instrument on your Reason with your PC keyboard. Then you can connect any USB key machine such as AXIOM and it should be picked up automatically.The most hard think for new users is to get the sound play in software itself.May be start with that. as soon as you load properly lets say piano & click it and it would give u a sound- you are more than half way through.Midi keyboard is only a tool that extends ur pc keyboard

[naq231]

nice dude

[SimpleFire100]

Hi man nice video , are you still pleased this, the m audio or did you get a newer midi controller..?

[BatareikaStudio]

@SimpleFire100 well, if you check my band's account on youtube (abatareika) you will see there are many songs (by my project Emigrants) which were recorded with this keyboard. I am still kicking myself for not getting 88 keys from M Audio but I survived till now so far. It is not that comfortable for recording but takes almost no space iin my studio and does a good job. It is perfect for rap or electro, not so much for pop/jazz/etc where you would play both hands at the same time.

[ronniemass]

wait,, what sound does the modulation wheel make?

[BatareikaStudio]

@ronniemass well it get activated in some sounds in Logic Pro. Its automatically getting assigned to some modulation effects, otherwise it just distorts the sound. Dont know how to explain, I use it only sometimes, when lets say ES2 picks it up as a subeffect controller. I guess you have to dig deeper. The Axiom itself does not have any effects or sounds so dont expect this baby to be used as such.

STUPID. YOU CAN GET AN AKAI MPK 25 4 WAY CHEAPER.

[mignane24]

Please what's the name of the song you sampled?

[abatareika]

@mignane24 It is a song from the very well known musical "Annie". I think Jay z used the same song for one of his old songs as well.

[mignane24]

@abatareika Thanks a lot!!I'll try to have it

[hergy509]

wat program are you using to record your music in the video

[abatareika]

@hergy509 Logic Pro 9

[hergy509]

@abatareika can you record and make instrumetals on logic pro 9

[abatareika]

@hergy509 Boy, of course you can, check out my profile, all songs of the band Emigrants were created on Logic Pro. It is very similar in values to the Pro Tools. Some prefer Logic, some Pro Tools. I like Logic as it has a huge library, it is cheap and easy to use. Pro Tools sound cooler but they are plain, you need plugins instruments etc. Pain, plus you have to have a suitable external sound card, where Logic works straight after the installation even on MacBooks.

[hergy509]

@abatareika but is logic only for mac ?

[hergy509]

@abatareika is logic pro only for mac or can it be use on windows

[abatareika]

@hergy509 Well, no offense, but u will look funny if you record someone on Samsung laptop :) No, u can use any machine you want, but yes,Logic works only on Apple. Apple is the best 4 music and design so if u are serious about it, start saving money for MacBook Pro or iMac, those r good enough to start serious producing. MacPro is even better, but I personally can not afford it- too expensive.Logic runs well on MacBook laptops though. I have seen many club producers working on MacBooks and Logic

[hergy509]

@abatareika i guess i gotta get a mac book, but does the mac comes with the logic software

[abatareika]

@hergy509 No it comes with Garage Band- simplified version of Logic, so you play with it and when you feel like you need more serious tools you buy Logic. It has similar interface and strategy, but has more instruments, VST plugins etc. So it is like father of Garage Band (which is free).

How do u assign sounds/samples for the top 4 pads

[BatareikaStudio]

@916eyezlow Hi, u can do it by using Manual, it is a bit tricky & somehow never worked properly 4 me. Its set by default (which is actually very smart when it comes to drums.I tried to change it to match my needs & it would change but after restart would go back to defaults so I gave up. I usually use Sampler to assign wanted sounds to pads. Sampler is a plugin of almost every decent music soft (in my case- Logic Pro). But that is not alway convinient. So try the manual, it may work better 4 u.

thx you helped me a lot

[PdubzCrew]

Good review.

You remind me of Jean Claude Van Damn =P

[MrSalmon88]

by the way i thought i was stoned or something when the pitch of your voice changed.

[MrSalmon88]

novation nocturn vs axiom those are my main choices for quality 25 key

[shejerkz]

can i buy tht beat from you real nice . i have that same keyboard

[alpapag45]

thanx very insightful video!

[midnightcobra1111]

how do you assign the different samples and instruments to each pad?

[BatareikaStudio]

@midnightcobra1111 Hi, you would do that on a plug in called "Sampler". It is in Logic but can be in any other pro software I suppose. You can assign any audio files to any key on your M-Audio. Google for it or see more on Youtube, it is a separate topic. It is a lot of fun though.

[PdubzCrew]

@midnightcobra1111

It's depends what DAW you use. Fl studio you can do that with FPC.

[tryMakeme]

thx alot thats, good review! 2questions, (what programm are you using?) and do you think that the Akai MPK25 is better or the same? (i want to choose between those to but im kinda lost because they seem so similiar)
