Using the MPC Live 2 for House Music is a classic. That how i used all my Old school MPCs and i wanted to give it a solid run through and see if i can use my MPC Live ii like a Classic MPC. Long Story Short.. You can, and its badass. At some points i came across some more weird MPC Live bugs, but whatever i've learned to accept it now and it hasn't caused me to lose anything just a bit of confusion. At some point, i gravitate towards the Mini Modular System for some Basslines, and the MPC Looper with Modular is a blast for making quick sample packs, or grabbing snippets and chopping them up later.

@illustrationmaking 2 жыл бұрын

Here’s a looper thing…. On a blank drum track, set a pad with a single trigger note right at the beginning. A01 for example. While your modular is still playing from looper, export your recorded loop to the ao1 pad on the new drum program. From then on your loop will trigger on that program, and you can clear the looper and add something new. You can take this one step further and on a clip program now load the new loop as a clip sample. Sadly you can’t drop a loop straight to a clip.

I use the sampler over the looper for recording live instruments, etc. I find the advantage is that I can leave a little space at the beginning of the audio and later choose the ideal start so it sits in the mix the way I want.

Dude I swear you, every time you end a video and continue jamming a bit, that's kind of my best part because you're deep in and your tracks slap so hard... LOVE THIS When we are deep into our machines and everything is well connected and rolling smooth and hard, this feeling this zone......this connection with our sound..... I even don't know how to describe it that's an eartimate feeling like kind of orgasm, so powerful joy

Also, maybe you could do a Vlog about the MPC Live II… It’s my first MPC, I’ve owned it for a month, and watching you work helps me understand it. “He just did something… how do I do that? Why didn’t it work when I did it?.” Checks to make sure Ricky Tinez effigy is facing the correct direction, “oh look it works now..” That was meant all in good fun. And… could you show using the McPickle2 to control the Sirin (using CV)? It benefits me, I hope others too.

My man, as I tell people all the time (I work in IT), "Bad design isn't your fault." It almost literally hurt to watch that MPC freeze and glitch on you.

One of the cool things about the MPC is the CV/Gate outputs on the back, allowing control of Eurorack stuff directly, even if you don't have a MIDI-type module in your case. I just started playing around with this stuff.

Hey Ricky, I really enjoy your videos man. I would love to see you do a vinyl sampling hang on the MPC. How is the MPC Live 2 for sequencing polyphonic midi? Like I know the Octatrack is a bit limited when it comes to polyphonic sequencing. Does the MPC Live 2 behave more like a piano role in a DAW when It comes to sequencing polyphonic synth parts? Thanks, Ian

Good video! Love your channel. Been watching for awhile. It's refreshing to see producers using MPCs to make House Music. I am an Underground HipHop head (Boom Bap), but I love House music equally the same. I have always wanted to learn the techniques House producers use to put songs together on MPCs. For some reason, there are not that many videos out around. Your channel is filling that void for me. Keep up the good work!

@daniberlanga 2 жыл бұрын

Great video as usual, you are the only synth/gear channel actually producing great music. I am still holding to my MPC2500 and its old school menus, I am not sure I would enjoy as much a touch screen. What is your opinion about the muscle memory in classic MPCs vs MPC live?

Hey Ricky, thanks for the tutorial! I was wondering, have you found any workaround on the mpc live/one for clearing all note events on a track while the sequencer is running? I know you can hold pads + erase, but thats kind of a drawn out process when you're jamming with someone and just want to move on to another idea... for some reason that Erase window is only available when the MPC is stopped. Seems like the kind of thing I could have accepted with earlier boxes, but not today....
