Thanks for inspiring me to make this video with your initial question. Hope you keep enjoying your music making process! :)

@@SkyDeep no problem!! Keep hustling! I subscribed and hope to see more videos in general on the music making process!! I thought my Mpc was a waste of money but slowly seeing it is useable in my studio

Yay! Thank you!

Thanks for the feedback and for watching, Steve.

Thanks a lot! Happy you enjoyed. 🙂

Thanks and My pleasure. 🙂

Glad it helped!

Hi Dan. Thanks so much for watching and the kind words 🙂

My pleasure! Thanks!

This brings me joy! Thanks for tuning in!

Amazing! Yes the idea of combining music with XR is sooooo much fun to me. Looking forward to doing more with it.

Yeah it's amazing all the things that are possible with the new MPCs and Ableton!

🤣 ah you caught that huh? Thanks for tuning in!

Thanks 🙂

@@SkyDeep You're so WeLcomE 🙏🏾☝🏾

Thank you :)

Thank for watching! And har har har 😄 I see what you did there! Good one! Enjoy deeper MPC diggin!

Thanks for watching and for the kind words. 🙂

Thanks 🙂

Indeed. Have fun and Thanks for watching and subscribing.

My pleasure 🙂

Thanks for dropping by. 🙂 This MPC is the most versatile music box I've every had.

@@SkyDeep your welcome; to me its the best mpc ever created.

Agreed!

💥😂😂 you're funny. Sure bebez.thanks much for your sweet feedback 😀

I think you have to use the ethernet cable with the mpc one. I don't think the one has ableton link.

@@the_impossible_kid yes u have to use the cable but its suppose to work the same once connected

Hey Ronald. Thanks for watching and the kind words. I also work with logic but ableton has me covered so well with the music and my various devices. I mostly use Logic when I'm doing post audio for films. Ableton is totally worth it, especially if you get to use it with your MPC workflow.

@@SkyDeep thank u so much im going to definitely look into it.

You're welcome!

Yes this is totally possible, but it might make the most sense to use the MPC plugin inside of Ableton while using your MPC in controller mode.

Hi! My pleasure! To answer your question: if you choose to sequence your hardware synths with the MPC Live via USB connector, then your hub must be connected directly to the MPC as the host. Then, using the same technique in this video, you can record your sequences there first and then transfer those sequences into Ableton Live by real-time recording the midi tracks. You just have to make sure there's no latency issues so your intended timing remains how it should sound. If you arm Ableton for recording, then whichever midi is coming from the MPC will be sent over.

@@SkyDeep Thank you! I think I'll do it your way and have the usb hub connected to Ableton, but then try to connect the midi din ins and outs from mpc to my audio interface. Heres hoping I don't get feedback loops!

@@milesmacquarrie1188 sounds like a plan. Let me know how you like it 🙂👍🏾

Hi. Any midi interface should be good for this concept. About the ethernet: if you have MPC One then you can connect it direct to your computer I think. I will run some tests in the studio today to double check. I have the Live but can try it out with my USB to ethernet adapter. But otherwise, here my other video of another possibility by using a small portable wifi device. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/j5ukfpaQydmtcWw.html

Did you end up testing the ethernet cable in regards to the mpc one?

Hi. Sorry for the late answer! I find it VERY useful when I want to combine my standalone elements with other functions from the DAW. Sometimes it helps to combine workflows. Also, Sometimes I use Live as an additional sound module. I prefer to make my transition elements in Live. I've never really used Push 2 but my studio mate has one. Maybe I'll ask to try it out.

I'm using the full suite of Ableton 10. For me, it has been worth it to not have any limits plus the various packs that come with.

Yes indeed. I actually have a UK PG Cetification in higher education and teach at a private music University in Germany too. Thanks for tuning in.

Hi! I'm not so sure because the MPC touch requires a USB connection and computer to be used anyways. I believe it's just a controller. Since I've never owned a Touch, I can't really test it out to properly answer your question.

same. my mpc one wont even allow my firmware to update! when i go to my menu i have no "live control" option, and standalone mode in ableton is total trash and useless. i'm giving this another month, and if i can't get this to work with ableton, i'm selling it. rather just get a Push 2 or something. fuck it.

Hi! @Ava R That sounds very strange! Sorry that's happening for you. Perhaps you might need to update to the next one, 2.9.1. I'm sure firmware 2.7 was the first time this function became available but it may have had some bugs that Akai needed to work out.

@baconhanger Have you tried getting in touch with Akai support about it? I hope someone can support you more directly. Sounds like a frustrating issue. Perhaps you might need to do a hard reset back to factory default settings and then approach the firmware update again? How's is been going the past few days?

Th8nx 🙃

You can use the usb out of the mpc to send midi. The ableton link control features require a network connection using an either net cable or wifi on an mpc that has it.

Greetz to you Skibeatz!

You are definitely NOT dumb. I found out that Akai changed the software drivers but didn't tell everyone. Mine stopped working after one of the firmware updates.... it took another half year before i learned of the new driver. Cideo coming soon after i testvagain with the new recent updates

Hi there. You can contact me thru my website or on IG.
