CUSTOM MPC

MPC PRODUCERS / FREE DISCORD COMMUNITY

Make beats.Find your people.

Share your beats, trade MPC workflows and talk gear with people who get it. Other gear welcome.

Bring the unfinished beat.

The loop that needs a bassline. The routing question. The setup you finally got working. This is a place to compare notes and keep making music.

Beats & feedback
Share what you’re working on. Ask a specific question, listen to someone else’s track, and tell them what you hear.
MPC workflows
Sampling, chopping, programs, sequencing and getting a track out of the machine. Beginner questions belong here.
Gear & setups
MPCs old and new, drum machines, samplers, synths and DAWs. Show your setup and explain what works for you.

Your first session:
one loop, one question.

Try a 16-bar flip using sounds you own or have permission to use. Any tempo. Any setup. A work in progress is welcome.

Need a starting point? Starter Rack 001 is free. Downloading it and joining Discord are separate choices.

Join MPC Producers
  1. Say what you make.

    Read #start-here, then introduce yourself with your setup and the kind of music you’re into.

  2. Share a short clip.

    Post your loop in the beat feedback channel with one question: groove, mix, arrangement, or something else you’re working on.

  3. Give a useful listen.

    Leave specific, constructive feedback for another producer. Talk about the music and keep it respectful.

Before you plug in.

Does it cost anything to join?

The core MPC Producers community is free. You don’t need to buy a pack or a guide to join, post, or take part.

Do I need an MPC?

No. MPC is the starting point, and producers using other samplers, drum machines, synths and DAWs are welcome.

What should I bring?

A Discord account, a little curiosity and respect for other people’s work. Read the server rules when you arrive. Share only audio and files you have the right to share; keep unsolicited promotions and spam out.

Is this an official Akai community?

No. MPC Producers and CUSTOM MPC are independent and are not affiliated with or endorsed by Akai Professional or inMusic Brands, Inc.
