Nice upgrade!I have the Mark I/original APC40 and just now breaking it out for Ableton use. I like the placement of the filter knobs above each channel, rather than all knobs grouped and placed to the right. Still, going to get the benefits out of it, regardless of version :)

thanks a lot for this video Doctormix ! Really curious to know where you acquired all those nice loops, are they coming from digital libraries such as splice or loopmasters, or did you sample them yourself or a mix of all this ? just starting to understand ableton and i was thinking to buy the Akai APC40...

@marc.lepage Жыл бұрын

I do not know of course, but I would assume since he's a musician who can play, that he made the loops himself?

Very nice demo! Definitely helped convince me to purchase. You should hit up Akai for commission on the sale! haha Also, at 2:19 you mentioned that you setup a DJ Style Hi-Lopass Filter, and it seems REALLY smooth in comparison to all the ones I've looked up and built in ableton. Is that using 3rd party programs? or is that built all in Ableton? Thanks!

@Doctormix 6 жыл бұрын

Niiice! Good choice :-) yes it’s a 3rd party. Let me look it up tomorrow. Please contact me on doctormix.com using the contact page and I’ll tell you

@spiritualcramp8000 4 жыл бұрын

one question. if i want to add for example at this point (2:50 just to say) a small sample i cut from a song. can i drive it into one of the sliders? and does it automatically set it in sync? or do i have to properly perfectly cut it when i sample it? sorry if this sounds stupid to ask.

@seantomalty3062 7 жыл бұрын

you may want to consider getting to know more about your master. As a live DJ you might be concerned at the clipping of your master. Why don't you leave it at unity gain and put abletons limiter on there? seems like a simple way to avoid huge potential problems. Great video tho

Is there a way to cue up & listen to a sample or section before having it come through the main sound system... Much like a DJ would cue up a listen to the next track they’re going to play before adding it into the mix for everyone to hear Hope this makes sense Many thanks
