MPC-Samples.com is proud to announce the release of ‘MPC Renaissance & MPC Studio: Sampling Laid Bare’, the first in a series of tutorial books from MPC-Tutor created for the new generation of Akai MPCs - the MPC Renaissance and MPC Studio.

Written for the latest MPC Software 1.4, ‘Sampling Laid Bare’ focuses entirely on teaching practical and creative sound design, sample editing and program construction within the MPC, providing 270 pages of in-depth tutorials on a range of sample-based MPC workflow topics including:

• Comprehensive coverage of all chopping features, including a speed chopping workflow guide
• Practical uses of all program parameters with including the all new envelopes in MPC Software 1.4
• Sample recording and resampling

Each tutorial takes a hands-on, step-by-step approach with clear screenshots (from both the LCD and the computer environment) and all the MPC project files you need to recreate every tutorial within your MPC as you read along.

With its intuitive structure and jargon-free approach, this book is ideal for newcomers to the MPC world while also providing the vital information legacy MPC owners need to quickly and effortlessly adapt their existing workflow to the new computer/controller environment.

The book is priced based on the value of the content within it, not the format it's delivered in :) TBH, it's not primarily a book that is just trying to point out stuff you might have missed (although obviously I do point out all the shortcuts and features in great detail), it's about learning how to use the features to be creative and make music with practical hands-on examples.

The book is extremely well organized and easy to follow.

I consider myself an intermediate MPC Ren user and I still
picked up quiet a few tips and shortcuts that I was not aware
of. The book has really made my workflow more seamless and
enjoyable.

I also bought 'The Dirty Drummer' MPC Finger Drumming Kit".

That kit is Fire !!!

You obviously spent a lot of time programming this kit and the
quality shows.

Keep up the good work.
