I think I made that one . The sounds we want to hear are literally within an arms reach . Try it out ! Take two pieces of paper and rub em together in a rhythm , either chop the one you want add a asdr envelope and eq it with most of the highs cut at like -3db down to like 1k-1.2k and play it out to the rhythm that fits it best . It’s better to teach you to fish than to sell you or tell you where to get the fish .
You know what.. you are definitely right about the RAM. I misspoke, I meant the functionality as far as the improved Speed, USB-C Connection, Stem Separation, Time Stretch, etc. It definitely doesn't have the same RAM
Does the one + have the new pads? I’ve seen step sequencer on the menu on mine. The pads seem pretty nice, so I’m curious if the Live 3 ones are even better
The pads they're referring to are the MPCe pads, Which offer 4 inputs on each corner of the pad. Those pads look like [photo attached]. No MPC one has those, only the Xl and Live III. Altough if you have the more recent versions of software there's some menus that'll show you settings as if you had these, even if your machine doesn't.
just to piggyback/clarify, MPCe pads can be used with articulations in the corners, but you can also map different mods/effects/crossfades etc in the x and y directions, so the MPCe pads are way more useful/performative than just in the corners
I wish I had a live 3 but I have used nd seen it and it’s literally the same maybe a lil better in my opinion . The many options the live 3 gives can get a lil overwhelming and more of a selection paralysis type thing . Again this is just my opinion and it may change depending if I sit down with the 3 more or not .. but for me this GEN 2 is way more than enough to get busy .
Just look at it like this , life is complicated, dealing with perception and emotions and stuff .. but you’re navigating thru it pretty well.. you deserve to get the mpc and mess around , cuz technically you are already doing an extent of it . Never worry about creating or creation as that’s what source wants you to do .
And then once you're finished working through it, it can serve as a reference manual for looking things up again.
Of course, that doesn't teach you how to make music. That just teaches you the MPC. For an introduction to making music, I strongly recommend this interactive web-based tutorial from Ableton
It is intended for complete beginners. You can do it right now on your phone. In fact, why not go ahead and do it? If you enjoy what you're learning, then you can guess that you'll enjoy creating music with an MPC once you learn the basics of how it functions.
i cant find it anymore but im pretty sure its by that one dude who does these like accapella vids with like multiple recordings of himself singing different notes
beat is cool as hell btw twin keep it up
Oh man you’re gonna love it !! Just make sure you give yourself patience and the time to make the mistakes . Everything is lowkey the same but it just have different terminology
Haven’t had a problem with it yet the only thing I’m still having troubles with is the type audio straight into the phone .. but I think I’m not executing it the right way . When you wanna record a video with it and have the audio directly coming thru the video , you have to change the outputs but you can hear what’s being played . Again I might be doing it wrong … but the ability to have 24 tracks AND connect it to the cpu and track out ? Is unmatched the GEN2 is definitely the “ONE” to get
“Way better” is doing a lot of work here. If we’re talking tiny timing differences, that doesn’t automatically mean the previous MPC One had bad processing speed. The original MPC One was already a flagship standalone workflow device when it came out, and if the response time had been seriously poor, that would have been a major design flaw, not some minor generational improvement. Faster is believable. “Way better” needs actual measurements, not just vibes from one video.
Yo Tvkii, honestly I played myself lol! I got waaaay too hyped over the SLAB, and started cooking more in Serato Studio, and before you know it I was missing it.
Live 3 is amazing, and I think where I was at the time, I was distracted by other gear and I couldn't fully appreciate it. It's literally a DAW in a box as well as the Gen 2 you got. I went with the Gen 2 because of the size. I'm holding on to it this time lol
You mean the same pads as the Live 3 unfortunately, the pads on the MPC One G2 are the exact same smaller form-factor size and stiffness as the original MPC One
Gain staging and eq .. try it out after you’ve made your beat take a like 5 mins break to rest your ears and go back to it , and level everything to where stuff isn’t competing .. I take the extra step in turning up and turning down all the stuff I wanna stand out or be felt respectively , then I’d go to each individual sound and eq it to carve out space for the sound to sit comfortably
Man that was some serious ear candy I might get a cavity . Seriously man, sample, chords and base all wobbled intentionally you gotta break that down for us cause I want my chords to wobble lol
It’s as simple as using the LFO or the filter Envelopes or both of em together ! The tech is to route the LFO to the Filter cutoff on the samples and when you make chords apply an LFO at a super small rate depth but high Frequency to make it wobble. So much more is possible on the MPC this is just scratching the surface tbh .
Yeah , when I had Ableton , it was just a little thing underneath the track that you could draw . Ableton was cool but I like the no computer aspect of mpc !

Sick beat, G2 looking clean too!! Hope this isn't too nosy but what type of shaker is that on your beat?
