@mr.spacely777 Год назад

That ableton link is dope

@Blissful-Yogi Год назад

Great Video, brother. Is there anyway to record the audio created in Ableton live back over into the MPC? Possibly as an audio track? Thanks again for your real videos 🙏 . Be blessed🤚

@GhettoStyles Год назад

There are multiple ways to do this depending on the route you want to take. The easiest way I believe would be to bounce the audio in Ableton to a sample and transferring that to the MPC with a SD Card or a Flash Drive. If you want something more direct you could route the audio from the computer to input 1/2 or 3/4 on the MPC and you could sample into the MPC. You could send the MIDI notes to the MPC also but you might not have that exact instrument sound but you will have the ability to change the sound if you like.

@Reggi_Sample Год назад

Use the Push as a controller for instruments in the MPC. The 64 pads makes a big difference plus midi effects and m4l

@GhettoStyles Год назад

Interesting

@Reggi_Sample Год назад

@@GhettoStyles maybe not worth the punt for Push 3 to be used in that limited way. But I got a cheap push2 for next to nothing and put the MPC into Ableton as a plug-in when I have those instruments open, using the push 2 in the same way. MPE wouldn’t work with the MPC anyway so I’m good. But yeah, the midi effects within Ableton combined with the 64 pads and a better ‘pad perform’ than the MPC, it really is good for those instruments that we paid a lot of money for. The Digitakt seq is another killer for those instruments but that’s another story. Respect OG!

@Cisneros102095DJIDK Год назад

hey bro i got this down thank you! but for some reasoj audio is playing on my mac? what should i do make it play on the live 2

@GhettoStyles Год назад

Change your audio interface to the MPC Live 2 instead of your Mac or change the speaker output. If you have "Show Sound in menu bar" set to ALWAYS then you can change the sound output on your Mac by clicking the speaker icon in the top right hand menu and clicking where you want the sound to play from the drop down list you will see.

@chucktaylorbeats3998 Год назад

Good content I’m new to Mpc and ableton how can I use Mpc to record my drums sounds in ableton

@GhettoStyles Год назад

If you want to use the MPC to play Ableton drums it’s basically the same as this example unless you are talking about actual audio from the MPC. As far as getting audio into Ableton from the MPC there are a bunch of different ways to do that but it does depend on your audio routing.

@artisticmemoirsoffieldherp7767 Год назад

Fuck yes brother 🍻 I spent 4 different days on the phone with a Akai customer service dude. Couldn’t do it. You made it easy! Bless you man

@GhettoStyles Год назад

4 days with Akai??!? 🤦🏽‍♂️ that’s crazy! Glad I could help!

@artisticmemoirsoffieldherp7767 Год назад

Seriously, I didn’t think it was possible! Haha I had to put that thing away for about a year.

@artisticmemoirsoffieldherp7767 Год назад

Question… when I do this, I’m only hearing audio coming from ableton in the PC. Is there a way I can hear the audio of what I’m playing/recording in the MPCX?

@artisticmemoirsoffieldherp7767 Год назад

What I’m trying to accomplish is this… I just bought superior drummer 3 and I can’t figure out how to use it as a plug-in inside the MPCX. I would like to just be able to select the different drum kits, inside MPCX, but I can’t figure that out and I’m not sure if it’s possible. So, with the help of your video, I selected superior drummer 3 as my plug-in, in Ableton live. I have an audio track in the MPCX project , and I am trying to record a drum track to that audio track using the midi-remote to Ableton. My problem now is, I need to listen to the audio track in MPCX while I record the Mitty track in the MPCX. I’ve got my headphones plugged in to MPCX. I can see the mini information being recorded to a track in the MPCX, but I need to be able to play to the audio track and hear what’s going on in the MPCX Am I going all about this wrong? I don’t mind the drum track being a midi track as long as I can manipulate it in the MPCX later.. I don’t like working an Ableton. MPCX has a better display of the information.

@GhettoStyles Год назад

@@artisticmemoirsoffieldherp7767 yes. You would need to connect the audio out to your audio interface. I’m using a Scarlett 18i20 interface with the main out on the MPC connected to input 3/4 on the Scarlett. Since Ableton is using the scarlet I can also record the MPC directly to Ableton.

@damonh8823 Год назад

Awesome video! Do you happen to know if it's possible to use Ableton control with multiple MPCs?

@GhettoStyles Год назад

That is actually a really good question. I have multiple MPCs but I have never thought to try that. I will say that I don't think so though because I don't think the Akai Network MIDI software will connect to more than one at a time. I will definitely check though.

@the_impossible_kid 8 месяцев назад

@GhettoStyles actually In theory you should be able to so long as you have it linked to live. In ableton at the top left if a button that says link. Anything on that network will link to ableton over the wireless network. Performing musicians use link all the time on stage with ableton! So because you can link multiple computers with "link" I would think you should be able to do that because like I said it's supposed to work with all devices on the network.

@the_impossible_kid 8 месяцев назад

I don't think it's the same as the akai network but ableton link

@vitriol-labor 6 месяцев назад

thx you !

@GhettoStyles 6 месяцев назад

Welcome

@the_impossible_kid 8 месяцев назад

Bro thank you so much for this. I thought I could only control my session mode I didn't realize I could use my mpc live to control instruments. Can you use programs in tandem like this?

@GhettoStyles 8 месяцев назад

Yes you can. You will either have to export the programs or loops into Ableton or record it in later to mix it though. Or you can bring the Ableton files into the MPC. Going into Ableton is probably better though.

@the_impossible_kid 8 месяцев назад

@GhettoStyles yeah I thinking exploding tracks is probably the best route for the exporting into live. It's too bad it doesn't turn your drum programs into a drum rack when it exports to an als.

Yes it does work on the MPC One. The MPC One doesn’t have WIFI but in order for it to work it had to be hard wired to the internet.

@e2rEaL82 Год назад

@@GhettoStyles straight to modem or using ethernet usb hub to my laptop? i have my akai midi network picking my mpc one..but i can’t get my mpc to communicate with ableton for someone reason.. do you think it could be in my ableton live preferences ?

@GhettoStyles Год назад

@@e2rEaL82 if the Akai Network Control is picking it up it is working. At this point it’s a matter of making sure the settings are right in Ableton. When you go into Live Control Mode on the MPC you should see the whole Ableton project in it. That is where you can control effects and levels. In order to control the instruments you will have to go back to the MAIN screen and choose MIDI instrument and set it to REMOTE. In Ableton go to PREFERENCES then LINK and make sure the control surface says AKAI FORCE MPC then under input and output both should be AKAI NETWORK DAW. You also have to have AKAI FORCE MPC and AKAI NETWORK MIDI checked on all 4 boxes in MIDI INPUT PORTS. On the output ports you need to have TRACK and REMOTE checked for AKAI FORCE MPC and AKAI NETWORK MIDI.

It is partially using Ableton link. It’s also using the Ableton Live Control mode that is built into the MPC with remote MIDI. That feature on works in STANDALONE.

@@hailnaryproductionz3661 In most cases it is something very simple that is causing the issue. It will definitely work with 2.11. The key to getting it to work is making sure the AKAI NETWORK MIDI is running and you have your MPC selected. That is the main step. After that you have to make sure your settings are correct in ABLETON.

@GhettoStyles Год назад

In order to control Ableton the MPC does not need to be connected to the computer. It will be in STANDALONE. IT DOES NEED TO BE CONNECTED TO THE SAME WIFI NETWORK AS THE COMPUTER. In your Akai account you need to download and install the Akai Wireless Network MIDI Driver. Login to your account then go to your MPC Live and click VIEW DOWNLOADS.

How do you get rid of latency?

@GhettoStyles Год назад

If it’s latency from the time you hit a pay or keyboard until the time you hear sound you lower your buffer size. 12ms or less is perceived as near zero latency. The same goes for vocal recording but you can eliminate that if your audio interface has direct monitoring.
