Hi MPC Community.

Sorry for the obvious question but what make the MPC Live 3 different from the MPC one+?

I mean is the workflow really different since this is the same software? So are the buttons make the real deal?

Thx for sharing experiences.

I’m thinking about getting an mpc. I’ve never had any experience with one so what would y'all recommend. What do y'all think would be best for a beginner?

So I been dreaming about the XL and already have the Two best mpc’s live 3 and the sample what do yall think comment below ⬇️

I'm not sure if this glitch is caused by the 3.9 update or not because I've only tried to make a couple of beats since upgrading, but let me know if you've ever heard of this....

When I start a new project and load a sample on to the pad, the sample plays at a nearly inaudible volume.

If I go to the sample edit screen or I'm auditioning samples in the browser all my samples play at their full volume, but as soon as assign it to a pad and try to trigger it, it's barely making the meters move.

I've tried using full level and turning both the pad volume and track volume all the way up, but I'm hardly getting output.

Has anyone else run into this?

Hi all,

My dilemma, I’m a total noob to MPCs and music making as a whole.

What would be the best go to out of the 2 mentioned in the title?

TIA!

If you could only pick ONE Akai MPC to own and use for the rest of your life, which model are you going with?

Any era counts—old school classics, mid-era standalones, or the newer touchscreen units.

What makes your pick the one you’d stick with? Is it the workflow, the sound, the pads, the swing, or just straight-up nostalgia?

Curious to see what MPC people would actually commit to if they had to choose just one machine forever.

I'm teenager who loves writing, and I've started writing my own songs. I genuinely want to pursue music seriously and eventually release my own albums.

To get started, I reached out to a few local composers in my city. Most of them are students who treat composing as a hobby rather than a profession, and unfortunately, the experience wasn't very helpful. That made me realize I'd rather learn music composition myself so I can bring my own ideas to life.

I've searched online for resources, but I keep finding scattered information and don't know where to start. So I'm hoping you can point me in the right direction.

How can I learn music composition from scratch? I'm looking for a structured path if possible. Since I'm still a student, I'd really appreciate free or budget-friendly resources, whether they're books, YouTube channels, courses, websites, or anything else you think is worth checking out.

Thanks in advance—I really appreciate any advice!

is there any way to do 808 slides? without requiring cringe workarounds
