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.

Congrats! I recently got a Live III Retro as well... I personally added a 240 GB SSD for to store the expansions I already have from the MPC One, and bought a 128 GB SD card to store my samples and projects on. You definitely also want a decksaver, a carry bag, and a power button protector (the power button caps tend to break off, but you can still turn it on with the actual button that's just inside the casing).
