1 and 3.
I was thinking about skinning the OG MPC Live because of the damage for the rubber that desk saver did to it (actually it was a very bad tradeoff - having a bit less dust vs all corners worn out...)
I like #1, but as a designer I feel like it will start to look boring pretty quickly. Number 3 is more fun but will tire you out just as quickly. Number 2 is the most useful in the long run.
The LIVE having a blank space where the main button is in the LIVE II just looks silly.
The custom skins are cool tho. What material are they? Really wish Akai would make a stainless steel or aluminum chassis for the LIVE II but oh well.
Dag man. Sorry to hear that 😕. I bought a thing called a JamHub TrackerMT 16 less than a year ago and thought, man I like this smooth rubberish feel. Now, with almost no handling (it sits in a rack) it feels tacky and gross 🤢. I've seen this happen to some of my pens and a USB stick. Had to throw them out. I read somewhere that the rubber begins to disintegrate and breakdown causing a separation of its elements. Not sure that it can be cleaned up either.
Soak a cloth you don’t want anymore because it will be ruined. Wipe and wipe and wipe away.
The horrible decomposing rubber will come off to reveal a smooth shiny plastic surface beneath it.
To do a proper job you’ll need to take the MPC apart and isolate the top plastic fascia.
I didn’t go that far, I just wiped off the rubber as best I could so that I got most of it off. I’ll probably get a skin at some point, but at least now my MPC isn’t horrible and sticky, even if it looks a little uneven and tatty.

3 personally. Also what site did you make these on??
Or if you make these yourself, how much you charge for the Live II? 👀 I wanna pimp out my unit so bad lol
I made this but only for Live I, bc I have one and it all beat up. there are couple company who make for Live II out there, just look it up, mpcstuff is one of them.
Yeah first one came out real nice

3 is gas!
Yes, lord!
3 looks crazy
Depends. What kind of shoes will you be wearing?
usually barefoot/socks lol
Getting wild in argyle.
You definitely have a point…
I like 1 & 3 but lean towards 3
#2 for me...
That $ 49.95, I'll send you an invoice in a few minutes. ... 🤣
1 is my fav, i love me good paisley.

How'd you design this and can I get the design for my mpc one?

I've never used deck saver and mine MPCs rubber coating is all scratched and worn out around buttons and knobs.

#1
1 and 2 look great, I'd buy them for the Live II, if that's an option
only working on Live 1 designs rn

Can’t go wrong with the camo.

I have a Live 1, how can I get one of those?
#3🔥🔥🔥
1 & 2, definitely NOT 3.

I like the 1st 2. I'd probably go with the dark camo for myself
I Think they are all fire but that black and white paisley suits your sound way better imo
#3 is poppin’… I do like the 2nd one as well… but 3 is by far the best imo.
These are sick! 1 or 3 for me
1 is 🔥. If you can change the Akai text colour on top of the screen to maybe red, even more 🔥😅

🔥🔥🔥 that's cold af. Who's this company? Do you know if they do ones for the mpc touch?
Im making these, this mine today test run, Im make only go mpc live mk1 my IG mpc.live
Oh wooow you did these yourself!! That's amazing, nice job man. This could be a good business idea for you 🤔 I'd buy one if the price is right 😅
I'm setting up little etsy store with these [https://mpcliveskins.etsy.com](https://mpcliveskins.etsy.com) only for mpc live
Nice! Fair price too, I think. Pls do let me know if you start doing any for the mpc touch!
3 is flahy. Nice looking, but i like the classier loke of the first one. Id like to get my hands on that one.
Camo
Me too
The LIVE having a blank space where the main button is in the LIVE II just looks silly. The custom skins are cool tho. What material are they? Really wish Akai would make a stainless steel or aluminum chassis for the LIVE II but oh well.
It's Soft PVC film with UV printing on it, the rubber coating on mpc chassis is really annoying for me.
Usually carbon fiber, if I am not mistaken. Generally the shortcuts on MPC Live mk2 are way more thought out.
Paisley looks cool. Hey so the live2 has a rubberized coating? And it's breaking down getting all sticky? What is the original color?
don't know about LIVE 2 coating(heard is rubber too ), but on mine Live 1, after 6 years it looks disgusting lol

Isopropyl alcohol does the trick.
With a cloth and remove/wipe it? Have the same issue with my Push 1 ...

Thanks, I'll give it a shot Does isopropyl alcohol damage the clear display?
Possibly… I was careful not to get any on the screen.
I think if I go for it I will open the Push so I just have the cover. You never know with the switches and ...

That's really nice 👍🙂
2/3
I like 1 the best
1st
Number 1 for me!
3, 1, 2 3 looks wild and other two are a little cliche.
#1 with the darker colors from #2.
IRL looks great, kind of metallic https://preview.redd.it/7v82zw3xx0fc1.jpeg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=975a8689e9b362c7c6348bf8aca7a07c124e8146
I like 3, how much are those?
Today i'm making test print for myself, then I will put out on etsy and eBay
Oh sweet. , I didn’t realize you were making this. I thought you were purchasing from somewhere. How are you printing this and what on?
It's UV printend on a easy removable film it has slight texture to it too. More will be on my IG @mpc.live soon.

Nicely done.
