Great course and I loved how he showed how to do things from both hardware and software and explained why and how he made changes to his tracks. Big UPS!!

I enjoyed it very much. It cleared up a lot of questions for me. I just wish he would have covered MIDI a little bit more.

Great Course! I'm really excited about my new MPC Ren and what I could accomplish with it. I like the work flow and how the instructor explained each section in detail. Although the course included make a 'Trap" song. The principles can be applied to different genres. Thanks.

This answered pretty much all the questions that I had about the equipment. I'm still a beginner with the MPC, but i feel like I'll be turning over projects in no time.

As a person just coming into the world of the MPC I found this tutorial to be exactly what I needed to understand the flow inside of the hardware and software. I've watched multiple tutorials on Youtube and other various sites and absolutely nothing comes close to how in-depth these tutorials are, not just that he explains everything and makes it so simple to jump right in.
This tutorial will absolutely help you if you're looking to learn the MPC Renaissance, I've watched the Guru videos from Akai and while those helped they still left me yearning to really understand why, what and how to do certain things. I can honestly say after watching these videos in regards to the MPC Renaissance I know what to do, how to do it and why I would do it & when I should do something.
It left me so inspired I immediately jumped in and put to use what I learned and it improved my workflow immediately and that's because it opened my eyes to things I could do that I didn't know how to do and I saw immediately what I was doing wrong.
You'll be doing yourself a great disservice if you're trying to learn the MPC Renaissance & you skip by Booker's two videos.

I couldn't give this enough thumbs up, this is a must have for anyone wanting to learn how to create tracks and piece them together. In this you learn everything you you would need to know from what I mentioned above to going commercial, this tutorial literally inspired me to go harder at my Ren than anything has thus far & what you learn is a steal for how much he is asking.
Thank you Booker, this helped me immensely!

Good course. Gives a pretty good idea of what the new MPC can do and how to go about doing it. I hope he makes more videos, maybe for old MPC's too.
