"I love being able to use the mpc X/Live bible during my downtime when i am away from my lab/on the road to brush up on my skills and better learn the instrument. It's really helped me be less intimidated about the MPC and it turned me into a BEAST! Using an ipad to read and using the LIVE to practice with is fun. all the sounds/programs, seq. one needs is in there. So this post is more for the middle of the road cats who are thinking about investing in the bible..be like nike.. JUST DO IT!"
Marc Abernathy (Marctronixx), Los Angeles, United States
"Had to register to say the fattest thank you for The MPC Bible. If there is any other complete noob reading this and wondering should you get the book, get it, worth every cent. Very well written and informative book. Thanks Tutor!"

"I could not grasp the MPCX until I bought the MPC Bible - I love it!"
David Moore (Pirate Brain Records), Austin, United States
"I am absolutely thrilled that someone has gone to all this effort to create this massive tutorial for the MPC line. I'm right at the beginning I'm 132 pages into the epub version and I'm really happy with the quality and level of detail in the book. I have always lusted after, but never owned an MPC, so have no real experience and need a hand-holding approach which the MPC Bible provides entirely condescension free, which is extremely refreshing. Worth every penny! Thank you! "

"Purchased Tutor's book over the weekend.. Very well done, top notch! I even appreciate the subtle side-remarks laced with salty sarcasm =)"
Peter Brandt, Cliffside Park, United States
"The tips and tricks are a must. Whoever doesn't get Tutors book then they will miss out. Over 400 pages? Thats dope. I get the serious sense Tutor LOVES doing that with a passion."
Danoc44, New York City , United States
"Thanks for the great resource! You've done an awesome job man. I got my MPC on the weekend and this came highly recommended by some of the folks on the Muffwiggler forum.I'm really impressed so far. It is so clear and sensible in its approach and instructions, especially compared to the user manual. And it goes into some real depth.If anyone else was thinking about getting it, I highly recommend it. Particularly if you are new to the MPC workflow like me."
Daniel Lawson, Perth, Australia
"I bought it last week so I'm delighted to hear it's prefect for those new to the world of MPC."
Jock Mack, Glasgow, United Kingdom
"Thank you for the MPC X Bible. Your book made learning so simple, and at least twice in a sitting I would throw my hands up and scream something like "I GET IT!!!" Because of your book and tutorial files I consider myself a power user for the first time in my life. I just finished overdubbing/sampling guitars on a friend's album, just by using MPC X in a hotel room. This is a thrill. You've really created a valuable resource that's helped me immensely. Thank you. "
John Mayer, Charlottesville, United States
"I purchase my copy this afternoon and I'm impressed. With the included example tutorial data file to load in the mpc, to make it very easy to follow along. Plus the best support on the net. Great job, MPC-Tutor."

"Almost never leave home without it."

"Having acquired a MPC Live i found it difficult to navigate the manual. Your MPC Live Bible was the much needed missing manual. Bravo for an easy to follow tutorial that got me up and running in no time."
Mark Evans, Crete, United States
"A few days ago MPC-Tutor issued his new "MPC-Live-Bible". I bought it and after the first 100 pages (of a total of almost 500 pages) I have to say: excellent!!!! Being new to the MPC-world that is the kind of "didactic" approach I need to learn something new. I highly recommend the Akai-people resonsible for the MPC Live manual to have a look at it and learn as well......"
Christian Schenk, Austria
"So, I went ahead and purchased the MPC Bible. You are correct, it really is worth it. Clear and sensible. I haven't had a crazy amount of time to invest in the MPC yet, but I am already finding it reasonably straightforward (now with the help of the MPC Bible, even more so). The difference between the Akai manual and the MPC Bible in regards to clarity and ease of use is really staggering. I am going to join those of you already highly recommending the MPC Bible thumbs up"
MrVinegar, Muffwiggler Forum Review
"The MPC Bible shows also a lot things that are not see in Tutorials on YouTube and it takes you from zero to hero, all functions and ways to work with, completely came with examples, programs and all is built up step by step... I read it one time from first to last page and "ka-ching" - no more workflow-confusion problems!"
Sven Korner, Germany
"I have had that book since it came out, and I tell EVERYONE to get it. The fact that Andy updates it every time a new firmware update comes out is amazing. Someone said before this book is what Akai should be giving with every MPC. Thank you Andy Avgousti!"
Paul Moore (Red Wolf Music), United States
"I have to say that the MPC bible tutorial was well worth the money I paid for it. Very detailed and exercise oriented. It has allowed me to get going very quickly."
Thomas Geffroyd, Canada
"I bought my MPC Live 4 months ago. I thought I was doing well learning the workflow etc and was making good progress, Two days ago I bought the MPC Bible. OH MY GOD! what a difference this has made. IF you are new to the world of MPC's I strongly suggest you buy one."
Michael Cook, Australia
"I have never touched an MPC before getting the X. I am on chapter 13 in the bible and I have learned so many things already! Stuff i wouldn't have discovered by opening a blank project. If you want to make the most out of your time, learn the functions and features first."
Brian Lamb, United States
"The MPC Bible....literally the finest piece of literature ever written in modern times!! If you haven't got it...get it!"
Grant Robinson, United Kingdom
"I just bought the MPC BIBLE and I’m so thankful for it! Thanks MPC-Tutor for this great book!!I encourage every person who’s having difficulty to purchase this book and snuggle up under these hundreds of pages of time saving info!"
Frank Murphy, United States
"MPC bible is awesomely written, I just got it and it’s easy reading for someone who hates reading. So far it’s more of a lesson walk through type thing than just pointers."
Derick Howard, United States
"The MPC Bible took me from a complete mpc novice to knowing my way around very easily. Plus the author is really helpful and it’s kept up to date on the MPC firmware releases. "
Tony Manley, Wakefield, United Kingdom
"I'd just like to say that the book is fantastic. It is very well written and the language is clear and to the point. The diagrams are excellent and the way it takes the reader through each task then builds on it as the book goes on makes learning effortless and fun. I can appreciate that a lot of work has gone into it over the years. Thanks for writing it! "
Gary Brennan, United Kingdom
"The MPC Bible is awesome. It's different to the manual, more into the workflow process, tips, tricks, a deeper dive into how you use it for making music. I'd recommend grabbing it to support an awesome resource. Their site also has some solid expansions."
Cubis, United States
"NOTHING is better than the MPC Bible..."
David Carter
"This is by far the best MPC course I've ever seen -- It is ASTOUNDINGLY good !! It flows so brilliantly, and in a way that beginners can become quickly and correctly educated,, as well as those with previous knowledge of the machine can have a lot of "wow" moments --- without insulting anybody's level or wasting anyone's time. It's just quite astounding that you put yourself in the reader's seat so well, with all the little "don't forget to..." kind of reminders -- the common things that folks will overlook, and cause headscratches, when it's something so simple.but not always immediately obvious...... Brilliant Brilliant job...... Anyone who doesn't buy this is crazy!"
Christopher Patti, United States
"Andy’s book is like a course that you can also reference. It takes you through real world situations in-depth and is a perfect companion to the manual. Both of them combined is the ultimate weapon."
Conan Manchester
"I spent a lot of time searching endlessly online looking for answers to things I was running into. And then about three months and I found the MPC Bible and did it front to back and it changed everything.
Download the tutorial files, and do it front to back like a training class. And you're gonna have a blast doing it!!!"
Joshua Koch
"Just purchased the Bible - WOW amazing I am already learning things about the MPC Live 2 I never knew!"
Dean Parsons, Canada
"I just finished Chapter 5 of the MPC Bible and really wanted to let you know that I am so happy and grateful you put this together. Really well written, clear lesson plans and always pushing on w new information for the reader. What more can I say? You have likely heard it a thousand times and here is one more, Thank you!"
Osama Musharbash, Canada
"Andy, you are a dynamic teacher, I found myself being inspired just by your teaching approach. The content is terrific! Your treatment of the X was comprehensive, invigorating, well-paced and left me itching to see what was on the next page. This MPC BIBLE IS A WORK OF ART!!!! Thank you for this EXTRAORDINARY WORK."
Aaron Franklin Jr (TRM Enterprises), United States
"Just wanted to take a moment out to thank Andy Avgousti for the Bible update. I'm completely new to the world of MPC but the MPC Bible is probably one of the best investments I've made in my many years of music production. Never been so excited about the breakthroughs I'm making in my musical endeavors. Thanks Andy"
Isaiah Brown, United States
"Thanks for your hard work. This book will be so used - a true labour of love, if I may say so. Cheers!"
John Lane, Hanley, United Kingdom
"I'm a very new user of the mpc x, and I was just lost on my first day. I'm not a beginner by any means, perhaps I just have a mental block, progress was slow. So, I figured that this tutorial book was worth a try, and I'm really impressed as to the thought and care that has gone into it. No problems following any of this at all. Really excellent work. And I think that the price is extremely reasonable."
Gene Schwartz, San Francisco, United States
"I want to thank you, I bought your MPC one bible a few weeks ago and it's really well made, I'm learning a lot, I do one to two hours of lessons a day and it's the best part of my day 🙂 "
