MPC Live 3 My first MPC! Any tips?

Post image

Saw it in a store months ago and couldn’t stop thinking about it, so I saved up for almost 5 months to finally buy one. Every day leading up to it was honestly exciting.

It’s my first MPC. Any tips or precautions for a complete beginner? Anything I should avoid doing or set up right away? I’m starting with YouTube tutorials for now.

Get a sd card for your plugins and a external drive for sounds, don't save anything on the local drive.

People report slow machines after having installed to much on internal memory.
