Our first sample pack Phrases Vol 1 is officially out! Get 25% off now until the end of September teftyandmeems.com/discount/PHRASES Thank you for the support! ❤❤❤
I'm a noodler, not a producer but bought an OP-1 last year for lockdown fun - I'm now looking to expand with another All-in-one and I'm so torn between this and Maschine+
Dude, i saw the OP1 like a dozen times on pictures and stuff and alway laughed like "oh that one is cute" but it sounds amazing! im totally blown away. im gonna check out your other op1 vids after! thanks a lot!
I just ordered a live 1 for cheap. It's my first mpc and I'm so excited!! I'm planning on using it with a minibrute 2s and with an axe fx 2 and guitar. I'm gonna try to use the mpc in a kinda unorthodox way.
Nice to see the workflow with the looper. It’s a feature I’ve yet to find a use for as I am more linear in my way of working, but you’ve given me some ideas.
This was a REALLy great video, and an amazing dreamy house jam. I loved the vocals on it! I got an MPC and my friend has a OP-1 so this was awesome for tips on how to collaborate together, thanks!
That was sooo gooD!! Thank you!!🙏🏾. Can’t wait to hear you do live2 w/cv & eurorack modular;).. or live 2 with moog matriarch/grandmother semi-modular. anyway this is most Excellent artistry
Sometimes the vocals or lyrics don’t sit with me but it’s always interesting to see where it goes because I sure can’t manage to catch myself doing it. This one though, it just flowed so amazingly and elevated the production. Made me feel excited like the first time I ever caught traction to your channel. Great work you two! Keep them coming 👏🏽
Hi William! Honestly they all have different quirks to ‘em. The MPC platform is the most versatile/flexible, but the others spark creative ideas from the limitations. So I guess it depends on my mood that day. One thing, though, is my mind likes fresh workflows to stay creative.
You might find this easier - put the samples as pads on a drum program. Just like on the octatrack, put a trig on the first beat of two/four bars. Make a new track for each sample. Now double your sequence four or five times. Now you have 64 bars. Now you can use track mutes (and record them) to bring tracks in and out of your sequence. You can also automate filter sweeps etc.
Hi Harry! Yes, I’ve actually done it that way in the past. What’s nice about the clips is you can start and stop audio loops at each new measure. With the drum program method, the audio will play out it’s full length regardless of when the pad was muted. With clips, you can cut a loop half way through the audio. Although you could setup choke groups and “stop” pads on a drum program 🤔
Bitwig actually has an option to start all tracks at -10db by default but I believe you can set it to whatever you want. That’s the DAW I know that does it.
I got a question for the process functions like I be trying to mono-stereo and the option doesn't come up even the discard feature so I can cut the extras doesn't show up sometimes, how come?
did you know you can also double tap a button to access its Shift function. once that becomes second nature, it really enhances workflow/speed navigating the machine itself
Hi Thad! Yeah, I always forget that shortcut. I think it’s partially because I’m using the screen shortcuts a lot. Although maybe I can double tap shift for the screen shortcuts?
@@TeftyMeems oh yea! haha i always forget about the alternate options on-screen when you hit the shift button. another reason this thing is so interesting: lots of different workflow options !
Can you show how would you go from the op-z with a idea on it to exporting that idea into to mpc, I have both but no real idea on how to sketch something on the buss and arrive home put that in to mpc and build on top of it sorry to bother, I'm a noob
Nice video man. Just got the Live 2 myself from using Maschine . Ive used older MPCs but this is my first time using a newer model (last model I owned was the 2500xl some years ago) Thats a nice combo! Im currently crafting a Mpc live 2/ iPad with koala sampler as my mobile setup right now
Greetings from india ❤🙏 one small doubt we can use drum program, plugin and key group program simultaneously with additional USB midi keyboard. is it still possible while on Clip Mode.. ❤️🙏
I have the original mpc live. I find clips frustrating because they cutoff as you go to the next sequence. even if you repeat the same clip program. so I was thinking of in the sequence, making tracks 1+5 drums 2+6 bass, 3+7 keys1 and 4+8 keys# 2.. tracks 1-4 would be my main riff and 5-8 would be variations. since they would all be midi in those tracks it should not cut off notes. On each of 9-16 I would have different loops that I could bring in or out by muting. leave the cursor on the screen on the sequence field and use the +/- buttons to advance to the previous or next sequence. I was trying to control my arrangements with my left hand and play keys with my right
@tefty Again appreciate the help to get the op 1 running with the mpc live 2.question how do I set up the mpc live 2 with my pc to enter controller mode?I tryed everything USB 3 connected to the PC midi in and out ports..dont know what I'm doing wrong...do I need to download a program?I also have mpc beats downloaded.what are the actual steps?whenever you get the chance your feedback would be appreciated...thanks
One of famous Russian producers, says that onboard Mpc live effects are not very high quality comparing to Maschine +. Could you advise(tell) something this way? Thank you.
PLEASE HELP! What connectors besides a USB you need to connect the op-1 with the mpc 2 live? I got it to work but certain sounds from the op-1 is not coming threw the mpc.why is that?
You need a 1/8th inch trs cable to two 1/4 inch ts cable adapter. The USB only supplies midi, not audio. Audio still has to come out of the regular port from the OP1. Hope that helps! Cheers
@@TeftyMeems Nice selection! And I see you have a ColorChecker to match up the two different cameras. A quick tip, you could use circular polariser filter to remove the highlights and reflections from the screens, like in side shot.
do you like the mpc live or octatrack better? I would be drawn to the mpc one solely based on price, but if I was spending more than 1k on hardware I think the workflow of the mpc live suits me better
If I have something specific to make, or need freedom with the measures/timing, then MPC all the way. Octatrack excels at performing audio slices and loops, and manipulating them in real time. The realtime recording and fader are one of kind with the Octatrack. So if I want to mangle samples in realtime, Octatrack 👍
Hi Tefty, I recently watched your MPC one vs Mpc live 2 video, and I decide to change my mpc one to live2, but at the same time I found a second hand op-1 which is in reasonable price. the reason why I want op-1 is I think the plugins on mpc is not that good, and I think the synth on op-1 is very good to make non-sample based lofi music. At the same time, I really want a full portable mpc, although I already have external battery and speaker for my mpc one. Do you think I should trade my mpc one to live 2 or I just get that second hand op-1? thank you very much for the suggestion!
Op1 100%. The Live 2 is great, but the Op1 adds a ton more sounds that you wouldn't have access to with another MPC. And you could always find another Live 2 at some point. Although, same goes for the OP1 as well 🤣
I’m just getting in to the Looper and noticed the same bug you encountered at 13:00 in the video. Have you figured out how to avoid this bug of always having to reset the BPM to the correct value? I’m capturing a lot of samples from my OP-1f and i need to do this for each sample i am assigning to Pads. It’s a bit of a workflow buzz killer which gets me out of the zone. Thanks as always for your superb content. Keep up the great work. 🙏🏼🎚️
