In this video, I show you step by step how to turn your MPC into an SP 404. This is a lot of fun for jamming and getting creative with your production. Thanks for watching! #mpc #sp404 #effects #qlinks
I love the SP404 FX, got a MPC LIVE, so this is very appreciated. I have never done it like that, I usually add FX to my RETURNS. I never did it your way. Great video, keep them short!
Sweet! This opens up a lot of fun for actually playing (not just producing) on an MPC. I knew this could be done, but wasn't quite sure how until your video. I was seriously thinking about getting a 404 before this video. Cheers!
This is a great video. It changes my whole workflow. I've already tested it and I'm thrilled. Thank you bro and please bring us some more fire mpclive2 tutorials like this Greetings from switzerland
This is an excellent tutorial! Can you please make more? I’d like to know how to save this configuration to apply to other projects or maybe how to make a template with this involved. Cheers man!
Have you figured out how to apply to past projects ? When I save this setup it saves as an xpj, so when I load up an old beat up then this xpj it wipes out the best I’m tryin to add it to … any suggestions????
@@LeoColtrane I’ve just tried it on the live ii not my x , I’d assume it’d be the same setup , so now if I want these effects I preload them before making a beat
Ok this tutorial literally makes lice shows more smooth since I record all my vocals inside the mpc was already using the subs but now with the q links takes the sound to the next level super super fresh
Off topic, but people sleep on the insert effects in the MPC in general. If they say the reverbs and delays suck- then they haven't stepped foot in any major studios...because the one's inside the MPC (AIR) are the EXACT same one's inside of Pro Tools...which 99% of all major records are mixed with since forever! No cap.
Great video....I dislike that xy screen with the xy effect I like the xy grid window. But u just explained the xy window u were using well enough that I'ma give it another shot. I'm very clear now to stage the effect.. Thanks! Dope knobs too!
Awesome video!! I can’t wait to try it out! Please kindly follow this useful feature with a video on how to record a beat while using these effects! I’ll be looking forward to it 😊👍. Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
I usually create everything on one track and add this all in different sections of the track with automation that way it affects both the drums and the melody. Your way is much faster however I don’t see how you would record the effects in precisely where you’d want them to be.
Cool video, the next video should be how to record automation of your programmed sub mix 1 q links. then how to edit the automation the recorded automation.
This is really cool! I saved this FX rack, so I don't have to do all that setup every time I want to use it. Just one question: why is everything on a submix, instead of just putting the FX on the main output?
@@Hoodie_Tello202 If you look at the top of the screen for the rack (where you can select insert FX 1-4), just to the left of the All On/Off button, there's a Save icon. Going from right to left, there's All On/Off, Save, Load, and I don't know what the last one (furthest left) is.
So if I record this in a sequence but I only want it on just one sequence do I first make a copy of the sequence and with that copy do I also duplicate the program too?
@@ABSTRACT_MUSIC one thing id really be interested in finding a way to do would be inputting live voice then pitch shifting it while you play or record. I know the recording process can be a little multilayered with the mpc. Im still getting the ropes down.
Do you have any Idea how to record automation with this method? I tried to record automation using this method and it doesn't work. Any help/suggestions?
There's a little icon in the upper right corner, with the letter R on it. If you tap it, the R will turn into a W. R stands for "read" and W stands for "write". If you want to record automation, set it to W, then back to R when you're done.
@@SynthApprentice When I tried it didn't record automation on these effects and q-links while doing this method from the video. Meanwhile I updated my MPC and I will try again, thanks.
Unfortunately you can't record the submix. But I know of a way to record these effects on your entire beat, if you convert your beat into a sequence and then automate these effects on the program. I can make a video on this if you're interested
MPC reverb and delay effects just aren’t as good the SP’s. You can do it all on the MPC but it won’t sound as good. I am a MPC owner and don’t have a SP but know it is better in effects.
