5 Things I Wish I Knew Before Buying the MPC Sample

After spending the last few months with the Akai MPC Sample, there are some things it does better than almost any sampler in its price range… and a few strange limitations and workflow decisions I really wish I knew about before buying it. In this video, I’m going through 5 things I wish I knew before buying the MPC Sample, including USB audio and connectivity, sample management, chopping and time stretching, sound design and automation, the Step Editor vs. a traditional 16-step sequencer, effects, resampling, and some of the workflow quirks I’ve discovered after actually making music with it. Despite those quirks, the MPC Sample has become one of the fastest and most fun samplers I’ve used for getting an idea started. So this isn’t really a review as much as a look at what it’s actually been like to live with the MPC Sample for the past few months. Looking to buy an MPC Sample or the accessories I use?
