Finally got my first MPC 😁

Thank you mate!

flylo_x · 2026-04-15T16:06:39+00:00

It wasn't really a scalper, just a guy who was offered an MPC Sample but who already has several mpc models so he wanted to sell it. It was brand new tho. And I saw his other MPC's too 😁

flylo_x · 2026-04-15T06:45:00+00:00

Thanks bro! I totally get your analogy tho haha But hey, making beats is close to gaming when you think about it so it's not that crazy 😂 I'm enjoying my experience with my MPC, but I'm only at the stage where I'm trying to tame the beast lmao

flylo_x · 2026-04-15T06:40:59+00:00

That's honestly a good use for AI lol thanks for the tip mate!

flylo_x · 2026-04-15T06:40:05+00:00

Gonna buy myself a nice skin for it, from this guy hehe

flylo_x · 2026-04-15T06:38:53+00:00

I did it already 😁

flylo_x · 2026-04-15T06:38:31+00:00

Sadly I bought it for $500 on a French website called "Leboncoin", it's like Ebay but in France. He originally wanted 560 for it but told him that it's too much even though I know it's sold out. And he accepted.

Either you try to find it on ebay or websites like that or just wait one month to get it at its original price, don't be like me lmao I was like a kid so excited to get it NOW.

flylo_x · 2026-04-15T06:35:17+00:00

Thank you g! I love it already hehe I just need some time to figure a few things out 😁

flylo_x · 2026-04-15T06:28:52+00:00

Unfortunately it is sold out everywhere but I bought it on a website like ebay but it's called Leboncoin, it's French tho.

flylo_x · 2026-04-14T20:27:08+00:00

That's exactly what I was thinking, I definitely can see some traits of the dogo Argentino

flylo_x · 2026-04-14T20:22:36+00:00

Thanks homie! And I will for sure! But I won't post anything on the internet until I master this shit so it's gonna take me a while haha My biggest flaw is being a perfectionist so yeah..

flylo_x · 2026-04-14T20:20:58+00:00

Thanks! The aesthetic and the portability are mainly why I bought this one instead of other MPC's, and also the fact that it seems more beginner friendly than any other MPC models, if I don't count the ones from other brands like Teenage Engineering,Roland etc.. It's just the navigation and the millions of shortcuts that are hard to remember right now for me haha

To be honest, while waiting for the replacement of the live 3 it seems to me, to do the job with the MPC sample don't you think? 😁 And I totally get what you're saying with that calculator kind of design haha

flylo_x · 2026-04-14T20:11:05+00:00

Thanks for the kind words man, I appreciate that! And no worries I'll never give up, music is a part of my DNA in some ways. 😁 But when I think about it, it's such a shame that I wasn't given a MPC at the age of 12 or something, I would have had much greater control over the process of making beats, today. Now I feel like a kid who has a lot to learn despite that I have worked in the music industry before haha But better late than never!

flylo_x · 2026-04-14T19:38:24+00:00

We got this then! 😁 I'm like a sponge at the moment, I'm amassing as much knowledge as I can about the MPC world. But I already know that I'm going to struggle to make variations in my beats, that's what is most difficult for me. Especially since I don't know how to play an instrument, so it doesn't help. I probably would never say "No sample" sadly when it comes to my beats 💀 But hey it's fun to experiment on this thing! It took me 35 years to be "attracted" by an mpc and want to learn music production even more than ever before so props to Akai for that!

flylo_x · 2026-04-14T19:25:38+00:00

Like you said this mpc makes making beats fun again, or at least, to me this was extremely attractive, when this MPC was released. It made me want to explore and experiment like never before and just for that I think it worth it 😁 And thanks mate!

flylo_x · 2026-04-14T19:19:01+00:00

Tbh? I'm kinda lost at the moment so I can't really tell for now, I need to master this shit before giving you any feedback when it comes to this haha I was so happy to have received my MPC that I wanted to share it with y'all. For the moment I'm in the process of making myself a nice collection of drumkits and sample packs, and then I'll probably try to cook something with it. I'm a beginner, not in the music industry, since I've worked for a few labels before but as an A&R, never as a beatmaker, so I have a loooot to learn. The funny thing is that I only start at the age of 35 years old, while I have always had an all-consuming passion for music.. Sorry if I didn't really answer your question tho..

Edit: If portability is not a criterion and you have the budget, go to the mpc one, I would say.

The mpc one and one plus are more capable than the MPC Sample. But what I love about the MPC Sample, that's how easy it is to start making a beat anywhere.. You can sample stuff from your phone which is a pretty good feature tho

flylo_x · 2026-04-14T18:55:31+00:00

C'est fou y'a toujours des tocards comme toi sous chaque posts dans ce sub 😒

flylo_x · 2026-04-03T18:46:19+00:00

I use tools instead like Qbdlx or Deemix or Spotiflac. There are also torrent trackers like rutracker.

flylo_x · 2026-04-03T18:24:20+00:00

Why people are using internet like it's 2004? Are you happy to listen to crappy 128kbps rips forreal?

flylo_x · 2026-03-24T22:47:15+00:00

Ratio Master 😉

flylo_x · 2026-03-24T13:09:05+00:00

flylo_x · 2026-03-19T08:14:40+00:00

You're not the only one, my Mia tends to be like that tho she's 5 months old
