Go from zero to your first complete exported track. 12 sessions covering the MPC OS, Overdub recording, sampling, external gear connections, Song Mode arrangement, and professional WAV export.
Enroll Now — $299Navigate the four primary views, configure audio settings to professional standard, and establish the template project workflow that saves setup time on every future session.
Build drum patterns with Overdub recording and NOTE REPEAT, add melodic tracks with Keygroup Programs and Scale Lock, and record performances with full recording-mode control.
Sample audio from line-level and vinyl sources, chop and convert to Drum Programs, connect external MIDI and CV/Gate gear, and export a finished 24-bit WAV track to external media.
12 sessions take you from the moment you power on the MPC Live II to a complete, exported track. You'll learn the OS hierarchy — Program, Track, Sequence, Song — and use it to build multi-section arrangements. You'll sample from line-level and vinyl inputs, chop samples into Drum Programs, connect external MIDI synthesizers and Eurorack modules via CV/Gate, edit your recordings in the Grid piano roll, and export a professional master mix.

Level 1 is the foundation for the complete MPC Live II ladder. Every technique in Level 2 (Q-Link automation, plugin chains, resampling, live performance) and Level 3 (sync licensing, mastering, client sessions, business financials) builds directly on what you establish here. The producers who invest in learning the fundamentals correctly move faster in every subsequent session.
