Don't know how I missed this last year, but I'm glad I eventually found it. Just learned something new with that instant track mute gem. Thanx for that, will definitely come in handy and help make my workflow more efficient.

Very helpful, I’m getting used to the MPC workflow and terminology and trying to figure out the best way to record an external synth into the MPC. It seems like the looper is a great option. I’m still not sure the exact different uses of clips vs audio tracks, the loops aren’t saved as audio tracks then?

@SoundsAndGear 4 жыл бұрын

I use audo tracks mostly but sometimes I use the looper for this type of workflow. I don't use clips in the MPC at all as you can't record into them.

Bro thx! Now I can mute my tracks from my external synth with track mute because the audio tracks are separated ! Thx Rasta

how do you recored your tracks mutes? Or can do advance video on that topic of recording your move from track mutes?

If you hit the mutes while in record mode, they will be recorded into the sequence.

@fishcakes1621 3 жыл бұрын

Hi. How do you set one clip to mute the other 15 pads in clip mode? So 4 drum clips in grp 1, 4 bass clips in grp 2, 4 guitar clips in group 3, 4 break clips each mute everything except for themselves.

When mute is instant, can you do crossfader effect, like a fast mute/play sequence between that mimic the crab scratch or whatever gating effect you want to reproduce?

Good video. Where I get confused is audio tracks. Say seq1 has a track aud1, I copy seq1 to make seq2 which has aud1 in it. Can I clear aud1 from seq2 to record more without deleting aud1 from seq1? I can record separately to aud2 in seq1 and to aud2 in seq2. That's probably as clear as mud but if you've come across this, hopefully you'll know what I mean.

@SoundsAndGear 4 жыл бұрын

you can delete the actual events within your audio tracks and record more, but if you actually delete the track it will just remove the whole track. So you can have Audio Track 1 on Seq 1, then on Seq 2 in Audio Track one you would just clear/remove the audio from the track, so that Track 1 would be empty. Then you can record more audio there.

@iqi616 4 жыл бұрын

@@SoundsAndGear So it's more an erase/over-record rather than a delete. That makes sense. Thanks!

There isn't currently an "arranger" mode but there is a song mode where you can string together your sequences and decide how many times you want each to repeat to lay out a song.

How good is the MPC X and MPC Live on sound/sample modulation, design and sound manipulation?

@SoundsAndGear 4 жыл бұрын

Depends on what you want to do, you can go deep into editing, adding lfos, layering, velocity switching, adding fx, filtering, adjusting envelopes, etc. But everyone wants different things so just depends on what you mean by good, and what you look for when designing/manipulating sounds.

SoundsAndGear by the way, I always enjoy your videos but yeah honestly that’s the missing piece is having it be a clip but I’ll leave you this link because if you prepare your “Loops” program with this single strategy first, it works exactly the same. I know you are into alternative workflow so if it works for you, cool. Let me know what you think. Peace my friend kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hZlzm7udtpjdfIU.html
