This is incredible thank you

Sir, you teach so well I think you must have a degree in it. Finally, someone who know how to teach without wasting time. I have been using MPCs since the MPC 60 came out! Yup, I’m old, 60 in fact. If you’re just learning the MPC workflow, this is your instructor right here. Kudos!

I just got my first MPC ever. The MPC X and not knowing what I was getting into, decided to watch this video. Thank you so much for making the learning experience alot faster and less stressing. Can focus on having fun with this thing. Again, thank you.

Thank you so much for this tutorial which without doubt is the best I have encountered anywhere online. purchased my MPC X around he time of its initial launch, however due to ill health to a break from making music. When I resumed using the MPC X it was like facing an alien. You certainly have presented a well narrated and competent tutorial which has revived and greatly enhanced my usage of this beast. Well done and again thank you for taking time to put this together it has certainly hit all the right spots and more. Do keep up the good work !!!!!

This is what you call a real tutorial . FOR REAL!

Great tutorial/instructional video. Extremely informative and in depth. Looking forward to part 2 which I hope goes into the same detail for sampling (bpm detect, warping, time stretch,etc)

The King aka Doc, has been dropping these vids year to year. No one does it quite like him. For button by button, knob by knob, touch by touch commentaries you got to go to the Doc.

i have to give you props mate BIG UP YOURSELF i have had a few mpcs since 1989 your tutorials are by far the BEST people forget how easy it is to forget stuff espically if you are useing a lot of tec daily and want to constanly improve and grow in music this maschine is perrfect the boom awesome creative flexible power

Some people are only ment to meet for a week and others for a lifetime. The Lord Jesus Christ is Great to me and HE is available for ALL Including SAMPLE THIEF.

I just ordered the MPC X today!! Would’ve got the SE but couldn’t really spare the $500 extra right now. I’m looking really forward to watching these 2 tutorials again to jump start my learning. I like how you explain things.

Thanks for doing this video is there a way to lock the Qlink knobs to volume for each track so no matter what screen I am viewing I can always control volume for the tracks?

Is this mainly intended for hiphop producers or would it shine in an electronic music studio (analog modular synths)-would this be a good sequencer for a Eurorack?

I have an MPC X . I’m trying to figure out what the sample rate (kHz) for the 24 bit depth. I’ve googled that it’s 44.1 kHz in standalone, but I would feel a lot more comfortable if I could view that within the MPC to confirm that that’s true. I’ve only found a window where I can change from 16 bit to 24 bit, and no kHz information is displayed. In controller mode, you’re supposed to have multiple options for the kHz settings. I can only (my preference) record audio in standalone. So I need to make sure the kHz setting for my guitar is correctly matched to the mpcx. Basically, I’m just trying to figure out how I can get into the MPC X, and see those options for myself before recording. Where can I see it displayed? I’m really only looking for confirmation that I’m doing it correctly. Any info is appreciated!
