you are a sick individual! great stuff man! i have a question: what's the difference between the MPK25 and the MPC500? i know the mpc500 is stand-alone but does the MPK25 have the same functions?
@TheReggiereg1 Right now I do all my production and sequencing in Ableton and Reason. But you are making much better jams than I am. I really want to get my sampling and drum beats on the same level of as yours.
Dude U a Beest! (yeah I know I spelled Beast wrong) That explanation is for those that want to pretend they don't know what a Beest is. well, yall just witnessed a Str8 Beest! keep it up.
real nice ,im getting ready to buy one, i use to make my beats on a ASR X PRO,but got rif of it , how do you dump sounds in it like for sampling the dramatics or somthing
Hey I just got the mpc 500, and couldn't figure this out but how do you load all the samples you chopped up, how do you load those to the mpc? Please reply quick. Thanks
Thanks! Real helpful tips. I found a starter kit on Amazon for $499.00. It comes with the 500, a pair of headphones, and a MIDI cable..whatever that is. But yes if you could post a video of how to upload/chop the sample, that would be great. Ive been searching everywhere for helpful videos and just cant find any.
Really, so I hook up my phone via USB and just run a song to the 500? Is it hard to chop up a song after you have uploaded it? Sorry for all the questions, just dont want to spend $500 for nothing.
@sesone - no problem on the questions. I will be making a video shortly demonstrating that concept. I sold my 500 for 175.00 on ebay and have moved on to the IPAD to make beats. I would not pay more than 200.00 for a mpc 500. I NEVER EVER chop on the 500. I use propellerhead recycle to chop and hook up the 500 to the pc via usb and copy the chops onto the 500. If I was simply looping or adding effects, I would hook up my phone/itouch to the 500 1
@TheReggiereg1 I did the same thing!I had an MPC 500 and sold it on ebay after I got the Ipad.I sort of miss it and was thinking about getting another one to use with the Ipad and the Alesis IO Dock.But after thinking about it thast would probably be overkill.Do you use Beatmaker 2 on your Ipad?
@coolderb - I like your setup for the IPAD using the Alesis. I use beatmaker on the IPAD. To me, it is better than the mpc 500 and it only cost twenty dollars. Other apps that I use on the IPAD cost no more than five dollars. I will more than likely stay using the ipad to produce beats, videos, remixes, and so forth. 1
@TheReggiereg1 i would pick mpc over ipad anyday, i mean, leaving the rubber pads behind, is like not wearing your wedding ring... somethin's not right. tho heard goodstuff bout the ipad too, for me it aint working
@154buddah - I feel you 100% on that one. That is why I am waiting for the akai mpc fly this summer. I may have to purchase another 500 though. That thing is a beast. The new technology that the ipad brings is fresh as well. I hope to showcase more vids as time permits. 1
Do you run a turntable to your 500 to sample the track? Or can you do it through a computer? I really want a 500 to mess around with just to check it out but do not own a turntable
@sesone - no need for a turntable, I sometimes use my phone or apple itouch to sample into the 500 but for the most part i hook up the 500 to the pc and copy my samples to the 500
@TheReggiereg1 Thanks. I had an MPC2000 but it got stolen a few years back and I was looking to get something new. I was deciding on this MPC500, Akai MPD32 or the NI Maschine. What would you suggest?
@TheReggiereg1 well first you started your beat and then you started the "song" with a button to the right. was just woundering if there is more than 1 button which you can use to save and activate beats etc when you want them to start... sry if you dont understand lol^^
@doobiehip - Cool! thanks for the comment. I recently sold the 500 to prepare for the MPC Fly. However, the 500 is one of the most easiest machines you can learn on. good luck and have fun. Peace!!!
how do the chops work on this cus i started messing with the mpd18 and well it frustrates me that my chops suck and can't get anything going, does it do it automatically or do you have to chop em up manually.
did DOOM flip that second sample before? sounds familiar... either way man keep it up whether you consider it a hobby or an art you're keeping real hip-hop around
@3:40 its really in the groove, and then it sounds good! Reminds me of Unspoken Heard songs
Nice Buju remix as well. Beenie man not bad either.
You need to be musical to make good beats.. And specially if you want to preform with It, its all about how good you push buttons.. That needs talent. But when it comes to beat making its much more then that.. Am saying to the guy who said that its just pushing buttons.
Nobody cares about what someone else does or doesn't like. I like MPC's & don't care who does or doesn't. I also like farting & picking my nose while driving. I think you get my point, lol...
@drummerdo0od that's just what it looks like to you, you say that like the whole process is as easy as counting, sampling, creating an original beat, and importing the sample can be pretty tedious, not to mention finding samples themselves
@drummerdo0od - let me ask you a question, do you know what an Akai mpc is? its full of buttons right? How else am I suppose to create fresh hip hop music that I like to hear if I am not pushing buttons? Do you know another way of creating beats on the mpc 500? Please enlighten with your infinite wisdom.
@TheReggiereg1 Well, clearly there would only be one way to create beats on a drum machine. That's kind of the whole point of a drum machine. But I do know of this thing called a drum kit that takes way more talent to play than pushing buttons on a drum machine. They even make electronic drum kits so you can use the sounds that you want including the sounds on a drum machine. I'd check into that if I were you and wanted more respect as a musician.
@drummerdo0od ohh are your feelings hurt because some guy is able to what you do and make it sound ten times better in one tenth of the the space. Or is the fact that he doesnt get all sweaty and gross when he plays?
@drummerdo0od it's still technique. I think you're just to shallow to accept other forums of art.
What is the real difference between striking some thing with a stick or your finger? Its all just an extension of the creative process that comes from within the artist.
If you knew shit about programming- you'd realize some of the advanced sequences take a lot of talent.
@drummerdo0od Do you mean famous as programmers? There are plenty of famous electronic artists that make beats- Even though electronic art is still relatively new compared to jazz/blues-Producers are already seeing the spotlight.
The # 1 track right now on Itunes is by a producer- David Guetta
Now I should mention I don't care for his music at all- but to not acknowledge the presence of producers/programmers as popular is ignorant.
@drummerdo0od i will never understand how people make a dumbass comment about someone without understanding of the procedures, effort, time and much more that person has gone though in making his OWN unique productions.
if you want to rant, do it in the face, whereas people can see how blank your thought processes are and how little you actually know. i have respect for all music as music is reflection of a persons imagination. but you are just disrespectful. you are a weak person.. fact...
i i downloaded a new drum kit for my mpc and it shows up under programs but it always says files cannot be found. i just want to assign the kits to different pads and i have my card how do i get them to play?
Nevermind...figured it all out sorry for the rediculous question. Hey does your mpc ever freeze on you for a few secs? Mine does and i was wondering if thats not a good thing
Hey man, i just got the mpc500. But when i flipped it over and opened the battery slot or wjatever, there was no ram card in it. I have the compact flash card, but not a ram card. Am i leggit?
@MrSempler - on the 500, forget chopping, you will quickly lose interest on making beats. If you dont want to mess with the pc, do not get the mpc 500. Long and painful to chop. 1
@CrookedCastles - yes! It is worth it. There is a small learning curve when using the mpc 500. what makes it so easy is that you can connect it to your pc, drag and drop your samples and drums sounds, and create music.
@CrookedCastles - That is a good maschine (get it?). However, you are tied to the computer. Me, I wanted to free myself from the computer is one of the reasons why I like the MPC. Find out what works for you and what you are comfortable with. 1
hey bro my akai mpk25 broke u no another mpk or sumn i can use 2 make beats with .. Im talking more sounds program anything because Fl studio seems like there is not enough sounds there for me can u plz help Im 17 a yung producer tryna get out there but dnt no the proper equipment im talking everything what do i need can u plz help me..Should i get a mpc instead of an mpk im a big beat maker needing help.
hey dude, thats a great demonstration! Do you use the standard MPC 500 or the 128mb version? I'm about to buy one too, and its a 100 bucks more for a 128mb, so is it worth it?
@propagandos buy the expanded mem or you wil be very limited on the number of sounds you can load into memory. Also, look on ebay for the memory. cheaper than 100.
@TheReggiereg1 holy shit man, i would listen to a whole album of you doing this. are you using the stock mpc drums or did you sample them from somewhere else?
@KrabbyPattyGnar - if I am understanding your question correctly...you can make a beat and upload it to your computer. You can sample into the 500 in real time or put sounds onto the compact flash card. So many ways to get sounds from and to your pc/mpc 500
@TheReggiereg1 Oh man, you have NO idea how long I had been looking for that, thanks a million. Oh, and do you have cd's of your stuff? I really dig that first mix!
@SBoogiePurpMane - A fellow beatmaker and I was just talking about this the other day. I have come to the conclusion that it does not matter what beat making equipment you use because it is the end product that counts and what you are comfortable with. Back in the days I played with the mpc 60, roland tr-808, dmx, asrx and asrx pro, ensoniq eps and ensoniq asr 10, roland sp 606, roland mv 8000, and others. check out my other videos and you will see its all the same, just a different instrument.
@RAINSKRIBBLE - I only use Propellerhead Recyle to chop samples and make my drum kits. Once I do that, I hook the mpc up via usb and transfer the sounds to the 2 gig compact flash card. Thanks for the comment. 1
portability doesnt matter that much to me, and how are the effects on the 500? does the 1000 have more? and also does any one know if you can plug a condencer mic in to either of them thats what im really looking at.
Im trying to decide between an mpc 500 or a 1000 can anyone tell me the big or technical differences between the 2. Beside the look and number of pads and all the obvious stuff
@dplocus123 for me, it was all about simplicity and portability. ive owned a 1000 at one time. i do this as a hobby so i wanted something with a low learning curve. never buy anything because everybody else has one. go to the music shop and try various pieces of equipment...
@cc17201 i am not sure because i never sample into it. way toooo much work on the 500 for me. i put my samples and drums on the two gig compact flash card and that is plenty.
@TheReggiereg1 man I love ur drums ur great help for someone who wants to really get serious about this. I got myself a Mpc 2000xl I was just wondering what timing do you play your hi hats at? Hi hats are hard for me to sequence. Thanks
@monster89089 - thanks for the comment. well, the way i learned how to make beats is by spinning records for many years, listening to other beat makers, and just by having a love for music. to be honest, i do not consider myself an exclusive beatmaker. I do like to remix. if you notice, i never go into great detail about how to make beats but i make a beat, add an acapella on top, and see what happens. start off simple with a boom bap beat and maybe a simple loop. let me know!!!!
Could you tell me the name of the sample? I searched for it but I couldn't find it

i was wondering if you wanted to start messing around with the mpc500 and you have had no music experience is it worth the buy?
CrookedCastles 1 month ago
@CrookedCastles - yes! It is worth it. There is a small learning curve when using the mpc 500. what makes it so easy is that you can connect it to your pc, drag and drop your samples and drums sounds, and create music.
TheReggiereg1 1 month ago
@TheReggiereg1 ohh wow, thats awesome. What do you think about the ni mashine mikro over the mpc500?
CrookedCastles 1 month ago
@CrookedCastles - That is a good maschine (get it?). However, you are tied to the computer. Me, I wanted to free myself from the computer is one of the reasons why I like the MPC. Find out what works for you and what you are comfortable with. 1

when you chop samples can you choose your own custom start and end points? or is it solely based off of "fractions"? Thanks

hey dude, thats a great demonstration! Do you use the standard MPC 500 or the 128mb version? I'm about to buy one too, and its a 100 bucks more for a 128mb, so is it worth it?
propagandos 2 months ago
@propagandos buy the expanded mem or you wil be very limited on the number of sounds you can load into memory. Also, look on ebay for the memory. cheaper than 100.

Can you record sounds right on the mpc and upload it to your computer?
KrabbyPattyGnar 2 months ago
@KrabbyPattyGnar - if I am understanding your question correctly...you can make a beat and upload it to your computer. You can sample into the 500 in real time or put sounds onto the compact flash card. So many ways to get sounds from and to your pc/mpc 500
TheReggiereg1 2 months ago
@TheReggiereg1 yeah for sure for sure that makes sense. thank you

SBoogiePurpMane 3 months ago
@SBoogiePurpMane - A fellow beatmaker and I was just talking about this the other day. I have come to the conclusion that it does not matter what beat making equipment you use because it is the end product that counts and what you are comfortable with. Back in the days I played with the mpc 60, roland tr-808, dmx, asrx and asrx pro, ensoniq eps and ensoniq asr 10, roland sp 606, roland mv 8000, and others. check out my other videos and you will see its all the same, just a different instrument.

@RAINSKRIBBLE - I only use Propellerhead Recyle to chop samples and make my drum kits. Once I do that, I hook the mpc up via usb and transfer the sounds to the 2 gig compact flash card. Thanks for the comment. 1

portability doesnt matter that much to me, and how are the effects on the 500? does the 1000 have more? and also does any one know if you can plug a condencer mic in to either of them thats what im really looking at.

Im trying to decide between an mpc 500 or a 1000 can anyone tell me the big or technical differences between the 2. Beside the look and number of pads and all the obvious stuff
dplocus123 3 months ago
@dplocus123 for me, it was all about simplicity and portability. ive owned a 1000 at one time. i do this as a hobby so i wanted something with a low learning curve. never buy anything because everybody else has one. go to the music shop and try various pieces of equipment...

@TheReggiereg1 so you can load an sd card into it and load as much as you want on it? if so any sd card of any size or just 2 gig?

jazzsean88 4 months ago
@monster89089 - thanks for the comment. well, the way i learned how to make beats is by spinning records for many years, listening to other beat makers, and just by having a love for music. to be honest, i do not consider myself an exclusive beatmaker. I do like to remix. if you notice, i never go into great detail about how to make beats but i make a beat, add an acapella on top, and see what happens. start off simple with a boom bap beat and maybe a simple loop. let me know!!!!
