Some sound engineers do the opposite Gate first, then compress. You get way more pop in the attack portion. You can also just compress and then use adsr to shape sample.
@TheCratesMotel 2 күн бұрын
Yup good shout. I used to gate then compress on my SSL in the 90s, but I find on the MPC, you get more consistent results with the compressor first. But there’s no right or wrong. Also I have found over the years I get more pop compressing first but it depends on the gate and the compressor. As I said in the video, there are always plenty of ways to get the same result, this is just one of them. ADSR has mixed results on the MPC in my opinion and doesn’t sound as natural. There’s a thin line between not enough and too much. With that all said, the aim of all my videos are to inspire people to try things they may not have thought about before. I am not into those KZfaqrs that say “this is the only way to do it” lol. Thanks for watching.

To be honest, the noise and that "crackieness" kinda gives you the old school vibes
@TheCratesMotel 2 күн бұрын
Yes of course, I agree. And I love it. But sometimes if you have a really dirty break with a lot of ambient noise, it’s difficult to have control over the individual sounds with EQ and compression. As I said in the outro, you can use this method, and then run the original break in parallel, so you have the control in the mix over the individual sounds, and have the original vibe and noise quieter in the background. Perfect situation.

Interesting for stems and mixing. For production, this is not helping w seeing submixes as fx sends (delay, reverb, ...). Overall these two should be done w better routing, which is pretty basic in 2.0 (glad to have it though) and lack submix automation (not an issue in the way you approach it here). I suppose you are using 2 projects or something similar to do it all in standalone.
@TheCratesMotel 3 күн бұрын
You wouldn’t use submixes as fx sends. You use them as insert fx channels. Totally different. My aim in the video however is to open people’s minds to the option of sending multiple samples from multiple programs to the same channel to process together. It’s an option. Not a necessity. There is no right or wrong.

Similar setup, I'm using MPC4k and S2400. I found for song writing it makes more sense to use one sequencer. So I use MPC4k to sequence drums from S2400, as well as synths or melodic samples. That way can sequence everything into song mode. Tbf, absolutely could do it the other way round with S2400 as the master, just the midi note editing is less strong. Agree drum sequencing is a tad nicer on the S2400 if you like step sequencers. What I love most about this combo is: - best of both worlds for sound (I.e. 12 bit treatment vs clean) - S2400 modes work geat with MPCs, e.g. setting midi mode to pitch or slice can be then sequenced via the MPC accordingly - expands outputs for recording into a daw via analog outs (e.g. 8 from S2400 + outs from MPC)

That’s by far the most usable content when it comes to use this Device for serious pre production or even production. I have to say that, sometimes I really don’t need to use much more processing than the mpc and Force offers. I had projects that feels like they sounding a lot thinner when being stemmed out to DAW. I also have noticed that i get a very different Waveform when export the Mixdown from mpc than i get with exporting unprocessed from DAW, so it should look the same in sum but i doesn’t. I’ve noticed that on the Force and the X SE. And I don’t have any normalisation turned on in my DAW.
@TheCratesMotel 7 күн бұрын
I try and stay in the habit of having every track I bounce out to my DAW as close to -6db as I can, that way I have a reference point and I am used to how things sound at that level. By rights, when something is bounced out from the MPC it should be exactly the same in the DAW, but you are not the first person I have heard that says things sound different. There are quite a few differentials to take into account including interfaces, amps, converters etc, but fundamentally the file should be the same if there is no additional processing on it when it is bounced.
