Make MPC (One / One+ / Live 2 / X) Beats Faster!

In this video I concisely go over most of the things that I found to be a hassle to quickly get info on when I started messing around with my #MPCOne, hopefully it will help you guys to get started easier. Many things on the MPC are intuitive but some things aren't, which I hope to address here…

If you're an experienced MPC user, you will roll your eyes at this video. It's meant for noobs who just got their machines. I have a MPC One but this video should apply to the Live II and X as well.

Some of these tips are kind of mundane but necessary to know, if you want to speed up your workflow.

I'm aiming to do more MPC and other sampling and music production tutorials, more regularly. I would really appreciate you subscribing and sharing this video if you think it would be helpful to anyone else.

Thanks for watching!
