I swear everything looks good to Bolo 😂😂😂

Hands down the best! Would never get rid of mine! Got the beat club edition💯💯⚡️

It’s my first MPC the live II & as a drummer & piano player I’m in HEAVEN especially once you setup your templates & master SONG MODE wheeewwwww 😳 It’s like having a new girlfriend that loves playing the Xbox and laugh at all your jokes lol come on now it don’t get no better than that 😂💙💪🏾👑🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

The Live II is my favorite of all the modern MPCs

I totally agree this is my first MPC and I love this thing. So much I also got the MPC Key and I love that too but for portability this thing is amazing. I just took a cruise and bought this with me and was making beats on the ocean 🌊

Yup it’s the truth. Coming from a maschine and Fantom guy

The external speaker and the battery was all I needed. Love mine!

I agree. I stay on my live 2

Been had mine over a year ago and it’s a beast! Best drum machine ever and I started out with the mpc60!

Still rocking my Gold Edition MPC LIVE 1 😎

100% agree. I have 2… had a black one and couldn’t resist the Retro one when it came out. Also have an X… but the Live 2 is the best 🎉

I have the X and the live 2 but the X stays in the studio and I just take the Live 2 out with me to other studios and all my files come with me with just a REALLY good SD Card. I can’t stress this enough do NOT go the cheap way when purchasing an SD card and I recommend replacing the card every two years even if the old one has not failed you.

I never intended for the Live II to be my favorite piece of gear that I own but it is. It’s incredibly useful and versatile. Even just using it for sound design and not making beats.

I’m right there with you Bolo! I bought mine almost 3 years ago and haven’t been disappointed. All you see is companies trying to recreate their version of it.

Live 2 is so dope. The portability to be creative anywhere is amazing.

i love my mpc live 2. one of my greatest investments.

Love mines has been the best investment although i would love a X as well but man the L2 just bangs and i took mines to blacklion audio and got the upgrade.

You make a great case.!! But I still prefer the X.

My first love is the ONE but I really do dig the live 2

I approve this message. Retro edition

Love my Live 2! It gets a lot more use than my X.

Facts!! I love my live2. I never used a mpc before it, and I was making beats within a couple hours of starting. By my 3rd beat on it, I'm basically a Vet. The workload is super easy to learn, and after going to KZfaq University, I'm Damn near Power User level. 💯

I got the one and I was thinking bout getting the live 2, after watching this ima get it

I agree with you Bolo, the live 2 is very dope! I love creating on- the-go. took it on my family vacation, my wife was pissed😂

Mpc Live2 was my first hardware in my production journey and I can say it didn’t disappoint at all! Mpc Live2 is great!

I loved the MPC X but the hardest decision I ever made was selling it to get the Live 2 I’m hoping Akai will make a Live 3 with a 10inch screen and touch strip

The X is the best... especially since I don't go anywhere but the studio... that's why you got the mpcX SE right there in your studio. Loud & proud! Stop playing brolo

I purchased mine by choice back in 2018 it's the live one of course but i agree the live 1 and 2 arguably are the best mpc's of the 2000's

I've had the 1000, 5000, mpc One and the OG MPC Live. Nothing beats the Live. I know I'm missing the speakers, but you're right bro, the Live is where it's AT!

Facts, I’ll die without my live 2,,so i actually got 2 of them,, one black, one gold edition

It’s so damn good. Almost perfect. And I’m I used be strictly a maschine guy, since 2011 when I started. The Live 2 can do it all.

Had mine for a year , was still in the box a month ago , he is telling the truth!!!!! Get it !!!!!

Hell yeah!!! I looove my MPC Live 2 👌🔥🎛💎

Man i Learned So Many Thing From Your Channel !!! I’m Still Fresh To The ( MPC World ) But i Got The LIVE 2 w/ My MPK 2 PLAY And Roland SP404 MK II For My WORK FLOW King, SouLute !!!

Just copped one! Looking forward to creating!

Love mine I was honored to have erykah badu autograph it

I wish they made a right handed one the layout to me is made for left handed folks I need the screen to the left and pads on the right

Got mine in April and I am Loving it....best EVER made, fuck the X, :)

Does it have the same sound as the old Mpc ?

I had a ball with the mpc one 🔥

I bought this unit recently as my entrypoint to more advanced gear. Since the MPC workflow is beautiful - touch screen, synths onboard, midi host, possibility of naming abstractions... But the speaker is so extremely trashy... I have a couple of features I would love to see on just software layer instead, that would take advantage to all MPC models. And in comparison to portability of Novation Circuit units that I used before... It's not so portable...

I got the X SE but would never get rid of the Live. Except maybe for a Live II. The Live travels wit me, the X commands the studio. Best of both worlds

You know this got me thinking. They gave the X and One face-lift but they can't with the live it already got the skin and the wifi and other bells. That means their cooking it. There's a rumor about live mini but I also believe live 3 is coming soon after. Its gonna be fire 🔥

I got this! Just got this! 🎉 Brother is not exaggerating.

#TRUTH #FACTS I couldn't agree with this more! AND you can find these fairly cheap right now. I found mine for $515, barley used at all serial wasn't ever even registered. I love the MPC workflow so, so much its beyond worth learning. The Live 2 is the most versatile piece of gear on the market. Bolo knows whatsup!

First time ever owning an mpc and love the live II

Because it’s half the price of the SE and still has that thin sound…😂😂😂😂😂😂

Come on now!!🔥🔥🔥🔥

Lol meanwhile I'm a mess. I got the One, Live II, X, even the Force. Make a beat then completely forget where I saved it. Live II though. Quickest way to get right to it. Have it fully charged and that's all you need to grab. If you were rushing and forgot something.

Got 1 a couple months ago and still haven’t used it 🤦‍♂️

I agree. Great machine

i have a strong feeling , they're coming out with a new mpc live with a speaker with keys but it aint going to come out til they sell out of all the lives. Just my input from this video Mr. Bolo.

Yup I'm not disappointed at all I take mine everywhere happy with it this far

Best. Got mine few years ago, but now I WANT THAT MPC X SE SO BAD 😂😅

Bro you definitely convinced me... Oh wait, I already got an mpc live 2 😂😂😂

I travel with mine everywhere I go! Bolo is giving you facts!

Already on my mission to getting that specific MPC (MPC Live 2). It’s definitely right up my alley

Well!!!! Let the church say Amen, wonderfully preached there Bishop Bolo.

I totally agree sir. Thats why i have i live 2 connected to my force so i can skip song mode and run my tracks straight through the arranger. It’s almost a perfect machine (needs more ram and possibly better converters, capacitors, and pre amps to be perfect) but perfect is subjective. I have no regrets from my mpc purchase.

just got mine from zzounds bro hella excited for this.

Facts! Sonically I think the Mpc 3000 is the crown jewel, but you are correct when you say the Mpc Live 2 is the best Mpc ever made! First Mpc I ever bought. Not interested in anything else!

Thank you for the advice

Couldn't agree with you more. I got mine like 2 months ago, and I'm super satisfied with it.

Facts 💯🙏🏽Blessed

MPC 3000

Just got it. Thanks my man!

I have a decent little project studio, with some analog gear, etc., but I’m into the convenience of the Live2. It’s nice to be able to just grab the L2 and get creative in the living room. I connect a MPK Mini Plus when I want to go beyond pads. It’s a tight combo, and still very convenient.

Definitely luv it ..

The pads are full sized ✨✨👌🏾

Agree! The built in speakers are a big plus! 🤘🏻😎

I DO have the Retro Version. 👍 👌

Best purchase I ever made. I love my mpc live 2 like it's my child

This better than the 2000 and 3000 hands down 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨

Honestly I’ve been looking at other mpcs and I’m like why?? When the live 2 has everything you need.. and portability!

I have the MPC live MK one but I’m going to get the live too because I have my first live for now eight years now which I still love it but I wanna upgrade

I'm thinking about getting an MPC One

YES!!! It's great for Travel, Home, and The Studio...

Boom 🔥🎼🇹🇩

Having a hard time deciding on a brand new retro live 2 or a used X. They’re about the same price. I already have an octatrack and want to use them together. Octa is great for sound design. But always wanted mpc for the workflow. I make a ambient experimental and industrial music with flares of hip Hop.

I agree. Best purchase I've made so far.

AKAI MPC LIVE 2

Agree! IMHO, for portability, the best one is roland sp 404 😅

Couldn't agree more! It is a fantastic piece of hardware

Yo Bolo u gotta relax😭😭😭😭😭I cannot be convinced to buy a newer mpc. I just can't.

Maschine mikro mk3 is my weapon of choice. I love maschine.

I got mines! Plus an Mpc X

I have the one and wish i had the live 2 cuz of the battery sigh

The mpc live 2 is my favorite item I’ve ever owned in my life…

Definitely not disappointed

I just want to learn how to make one beat ... I bought the studio to get started but I probably shouldve gotten this I need some training

letttttssssss ggggooooooo No lies Told!!!!!

I love it but immastck with the one only cause I don't like to show my cool things to everyone. I use ipad with impc and koala when moving as a notepad. The biggest thing for me is I think lives can grab that ssd(?) Not sure tho

My God bro when you're 🎥 filming the selfie piece of the video, I started sweating! I was tripping out heavy thinking your Live 2 had the screen on the left and the pads on the right😮! The damn mirror 🪞 effect was breaking my mind until the video was repeated. Definitely a "me thing," but right now, if It was possible to make changes to the live 2. Probly the first one, of only a handful of things I'd change up on the Live 2 would and be having those note repeat increments on the left of the pad bank, haha. 😅 I'm way too used to the left ring finger slidin' up and down that touch strip on the studio mk2 controller for note repeat increment changes. I'm lacking the muscle memory at the moment to quickly switch between the different latched note repeat time increments. 😂

Why ya speakers vs room treatment vid keeps getting took down👀👀👀👀

I go between the live II and the key 61 as the best.

What's the point if you have an X .... is it better than the X?

Can you play a composition from the Akai force, on the MPC? How do things like launching clips/scenes work?

can you teach on how to use the MPC live 2

You ain’t lying

Akai just did the same thing their Sister companies, Denon DJ & Numark did with their Standalone, battery powered DJ consoles w/ built-in speakers.
