I’m having a huge problem connecting my MPCX to Protools 2021 Since I’ve Upgrade to Mojave 10.14.6 It’ like a nightmare any advice on how to fix this issue? MPCX Updated to 2.10 and Software Updated. My Mpcx will not show up at all inside of Protools 2021

It continues to amaze me how critical some folks are that are here seeking knowledge. It’s needlessly cruel and toxic. This needs to be a community of positivity civility. If we smash every attempt at someone trying to impart wisdom at some point we will have no sources. I f you feel you can do better, quietly do so. If you have ideas on improvement suggest them in nurtured manner. Social grace and emotional intelligence is key to move anything forward. In closing if I may the collective thanks you for your share out. Good stuff. Would you consider providing details on the setup, as without the setup details some members will not be able replicate the use case you illustrated and it assumes the viewer knows the sorted details . Full transparency, the delivery was a bit verbose and viewers are always crazy anxious to get to the takeaway. Just something to hone moving forward. It’s fine balancing act. Hats off to you and AVID for providing these types of resources. Could also cover MIDI Trackout in addition to Audio Track demo. Best Just Phab Brite Lyte Productions Chief Creative Officer

I got my mpc beats plugin to load, but there is no sound coming out? Preferences seem okay. What do i do?

[@nikolaybakalov8264]

Hey guys, anybody knows how I can get a count off before I record MPC beats into pro tools? I get it to work when using PT without MPC beats and I get it in the MPC beats standalone. But I don't have it when I use MPC as an instrument in PT. Please anybody help I searched all over the net Thanks!

[@delhoyo00]

Hi quick question! Running pro tools ultimate 2023.3.0 with mpc beats last version via an MPC REINASSANCE. Is there a way via the mpc to play, pause, overdub etc... but via the MPC not the MPC Beats plug in in pro tools?? Thanks a lot cheers!

[@delhoyo00]

STOP, PLAY and NEXT TRACK END are blurred out in the MPC Beats Plug in.

[@ChrystalSmithdirect]

when I try to export mpc audio into a pro tools track both crash consistently. Any idea what may be causing that? Thanks.

[@larrymyers5989]

If Simon is a Reason specialist then do we have a link to his channel also

[@maxi-me]

Can mpc also be used to create music?

[@ReynaldoIvanPena]

For some reason there is signal going into Pro Tools from my MPC instrument plug in but when I hit record, it doesn't obey the command on the instrument track nor does send any signal if I use an audio track.

[@streetnativeaudio6323]

Having the same issue

[@sexypandaguy]

Are you guys arming your tracks?

[@NightStalks79]

I use different sequences on a track such as 1 is snare 1 is kick ect I tried using your method of linking protools and it didn’t work

[@supa407]

It would have been nice to see how to set it up. Your showing us what you already have installed

[@larrymyers5989]

If you haven’t got it yet subscribe to reason+ it is totally worth it. I also use MPC Beats software as a plugin within reason or as a stand alone. It’s dope

[@elsonaraujo3626]

Can you please help, it appears an error when i reinstall mpc Beats. Some related with "MPC Beats.aaxplugin" in " C:\Program Files\Common Files\Avid\Audio\Plug-Ins\MPC Beats.aaxplugin\Contents\x64 "

[@novaaudio8059]

im having the same issue having trouble finding any help anywhere

[@Ziddy_Mortal]

I dying inside right now , since I downloaded Mpc my protools won’t load up

[@vjosemiguel]

Thanks Guys ....

[@kevinwhite8782]

still waiting on the setup for this

[@ReynaldoIvanPena]

Can Pro Tools pick up the audio files from MPC though? i. e. Melodic Loops 😈

[@poeticgeenetikstv4672]

I cant record my plugins

[@Jarudeboy72_]

Too much talking and silly music AND NO INFO ON HOW TO CONNECT THE MPC AS AN INSTRUMENT IN PROTOOLS

[@larrymyers5989]

I haven’t duos research on how to connect the MPC as an instrument to pro tools but I think if you down load the MPC Beats software and connect your mpc then you can open MPC beat software as a plugin in pro tools

[@UNEEKMP3]

Smh exactly

[@sexypandaguy]

So, there are technically two ways. Really, what would be most advantageous - at least in my eyes - is as follows: make your beat within mpc, and then record your separate tracks and stems into pro tools by routing your audio i/o from your MPC into ProTools. In a reply to this comment, there will be a KZbin link showing you how to do the same concept but within ableton. (I know, we're talking about Pro Tools, but Im still very new to ProTools. So give me a break, aight?!)

[@sexypandaguy]

So just to clarify, this way is -in my humble opinion- the best way to get your purest audio stems from your MPC into Protools without having to export files from your mpc, which can be a pain. ProTools is a beast. And I really pray that there will be more information on how to securely map your Midi in order to get the MPC workflow with the amazing sound quality of Protools to work hand in hand, as opposed to relying on the good-but-limited sounds from your MPC
