MPC ONE Plus + Tascam Model 12 

Thank you brother. It’s been such a blessing for us. I really appreciate you being a part of the journey 🫡🤜🏽🤛🏽

Hey brother, thank you so much for the love and support

Hahah yeah man it’s gonna take me a while to put out but I really wanted to get familiar with it and see how I would actually use it in a day today workflow

I hope this was helpful with your decision. Much love and blessings to you.

You should still put yours out. Malo’s video is great and it’s not enough videos out on the MPC/Model 12 that are in-depth and talk about such things like recording audio back into the MPC from it. Also, I’m still trying to figure out why my 1/2 is acting like my main and playing everything when I have nothing assigned to it. 😢

I believe the 1/2 is the default out volume control for mpc.

Lets keep these video coming bolo, we all learn from them. Eye watch you, marlo, poli popo , e a ski, i love the different perspectives. Everybody comes together a form like voltron lol

Hey man, I’m so happy this video was helpful from your decision. I think it’s a very convenient piece and definitely put your MPC one on steroids lol. However, the direction that I’m going towards I think I’m gonna keep looking as well or just stick with what I have at the moment.

Buy it you want regret

This means a lot coming from you brother. Thank you so much for always dropping by.

Brother, this really means a lot and thank you so much for taking the time to share this feedback with me. Also, if you have an old interface, just make sure his class compliant or else it just won’t pop up in your MPC hardware options. Regardless, you could still plug it in and just see if it pops up or not. Much love to you brother. 🤜🏽🤛🏽🫡

@@malobeats respect. I'll let u know if it does and congrats again on the new space looking forward to the studio tour

🤜🏽🤛🏽

I’m going for something similar to the your set up and I think this is such a powerful signal chain.

This guy fucks

Yo David, thank you so much brother is really means a lot for you to take the time and share your Feedback with me. ❤️🫡

@@malobeats 👊I'm one of your biggest fans, brother, Been here from the beginning of the ride!

Hey brother, thank you so so much for taking the time and sharing his input with us. Incorporating outboard gear could be a bit finicky with this device and that is one reason why I’m still going to consider searching for different alternatives at the moment. Thank you so much for the kind words and it’s definitely exciting for me as I am building my studio piece by piece. It really makes me feel like a kid again lol.

I was going to say something similar, the Xone 96 is great with the current MPC’s and I think it’s more creative for live mixing. I’ve got a Model 12 and an SSL Big Six too… I would do a comparison video, if I was a video maker and had time. 😊

@@ccmp23 Wow quite the selection you've got! The 96 is an absolute dream for this combo, and so performative... but I'm aware it costs a bunch and the only reason I have it is because I know how powerful it is for DJing. You should def do that comparison vid that would be fascinating to see! The 96 has 1, only 1 limiting factor for me... no multi-tracking out when already connected to the MPC as an audio device. It's so, so close to being perfect. That being said, at the level I'm at this is arguably unnecessary and the potential to master further in a DAW is probably more of a distraction than anything.

Thank you so much for sharing your input. I thought I was the only one that was complaining about the two extra channels we had to spare. It’s a great mixer, but definitely something that we might grow out of fairly quick. Thank you so much for stopping by.

Oh man, that right there is a versatile set up. As soon as I got this model 12 the first thing that came to mine was my XL but unfortunately I only have two outputs. I need to expand and purchase the eight I’ll put for my XL.

Nice! Creative!

It’s definitely an awesome piece and makes the MPC a whole different beast. Thank you so much for sharing your input. I hope this was helpful. Much love to you and blessings.

Yes I have, MPC One RAM is a killer especially if you are running multiple digital plugins. I would suggest getting a few analog pedals, compressors etc that way you can offset some of the RAM issue good luck!

Hi @Nobofilms Yes, you can connect the Roland SP404 to the MPC One. You can typically connect them using audio cables, such as RCA or 1/4" cables, depending on the outputs and inputs available on both devices. This allows you to integrate the SP404's effects and sample playback capabilities into your MPC One workflow, adding versatility to your production setup.

Yes, it's possible to route audio from one interface through another, typically by connecting the outputs of one interface to the inputs of another. This setup can have several benefits: 1. Expansion of inputs/outputs: If one audio interface doesn't have enough inputs or outputs for your needs, you can use another interface to expand your setup. For example, you might route the outputs of one interface into the inputs of another to effectively increase the number of available inputs. 2. Utilizing different features: Each audio interface may have unique features or capabilities. By routing audio through multiple interfaces, you can take advantage of the strengths of each device. For instance, one interface might have high-quality preamps, while another might offer advanced DSP effects. 3. Flexibility in signal routing: Routing audio through multiple interfaces gives you greater flexibility in how you route signals within your setup. You can create custom signal paths, apply effects from one interface to signals from another, or route signals for specific monitoring or recording purposes. Overall, routing one interface through another can be a powerful way to customize and optimize your audio setup to suit your specific needs and preferences. Also keep in my some of the negatives are increased latency and sound degradation. I would suggest to use only one good interface unless you have a drawn out plan to use more than one.

I have the same questions.

I'm very much a Noob and still learning here. But wouldn't that difference in DB mean that significant signal is being lost once it hits the Tascam 12? 10 DB seems to me to be enough to be easily noticeable in an A / B comparison.

@@AnthonyGoodley In a side by side comparison it would be noticeable.High quality interfaces have higher dynamic range.

Brought a model 12 despite the fact I had a 16

Thank you for your input brother 🫡🤜🏽🤛🏽

❤️🫡

Have you found a video yet for that setup? If so please share

Certainly, while it's possible to incorporate various signals and link them to more external mixers, it's crucial to maintain awareness that expanding signal pathways can compromise control over sound integrity.

Yes, you can connect both the Roland SP404 and the MPC One to the Tascam Model 12 mixer simultaneously. Each device would connect to the mixer using audio cables, such as RCA or 1/4" cables, depending on the available inputs and outputs on the mixer and the devices. This setup enables you to incorporate both the MPC One and the SP404 into your production workflow, giving you access to their respective features and capabilities while utilizing the mixing and routing capabilities of the Model 12.

You can sample directly into the MPC using a stereo (or mono but stereo would be more appropriate) channel. Just make sure when you are in sample mode you route your channels to the correct channel example: if you are using stereo 9/10 make sure you have the appropriate channel in the MPC One selected. Mode should be on PC.

The whole device is set up to be able to record to SD card, including multi-tracks + master, so yes can be used as a mixing/recording device with no computer in sight

@@jamesdean5095 So you are recording to the SD card in the Model 12. Are the fader movements reflected on the MPC screen or is it always a "live" mix you are recording?

@@mickeybreezy I don't have the device, just going off what I've seen. I believe the fader movements etc. are live only but can't say for sure - but can say you don't need a computer to multitrack or master record.

@@jamesdean5095 You have both devices in the video, what do you mean you don't have it? haha. Thanks for the info man!

@@mickeybreezy Haha this isn't my video man, I'm just a general citizen adding whatever I can to the general knowledge pool ;)

Model 12 not bad

That is correct, the mixer will stay with the same settings you left it at. It could also be a bit challenging. If you move onto another song and you use different settings and then you want to go back to your previous song you will have to reset all your dials again.

I would put it in to a mono channel on the m12

@@malobeats thx. Also, let’s say I have an M12 and my beat has 14 tracks. How would you combine certain tracks including the mic to fit this smaller mixer without having to upgrade?

@@Okayplayayou would have to go old school and mix down each track separately and bounce to a WAV file and keep remixing until you get your desired results. It can get very complex so I would suggest writing out your process before you do this.

Alright, let's start with the basics: what's the primary focus of your music endeavors? Are you primarily performing live, recording in the studio, or perhaps a bit of both? Understanding your workflow helps tailor the recommendations regarding mixers to suit your needs. Also, do you find yourself frequently on the move, or do you primarily work in a fixed studio environment? This information helps narrow down the options and ensures we find the right mixer to complement your musical journey.

You can typically record multiple tracks at once, especially if you're using a version with multitrack recording capabilities. This allows you to capture different instruments or sounds simultaneously, which can be useful for creating complex arrangements. However, the exact capabilities may vary depending on the specific model and software version you're using.

Yes the Model 12, 16, and 24 works the same with MPC One just make sure you take the time to think how inputs/outputs are routed the more tracks you have. It can get very confusing, I suggest diagramming your setup.

Absolutely, I just don’t have that type of money at the moment lol but I really do love the fact that he gives you eight outputs instead of six. Hopefully in the future.

Oh man, this really turns your MPC one to a whole different machine and it is amazing. Just make sure the interface is class compliance or else it will not work with our MPC‘s.

Yes absolutely

I have the exact same question. I have seen similar videos on other channels and that always seems to get skipped. I'm trying to understand the real benefit.
