Bro made a tutorial video for THE Jermaine Dupri. That’s crazy and you’re right man KZbinrs are the new celebrities

[@apoclypse]

A few things. First, you can definitely warp audio in Audio tracks. Second, you can also record both audio and Midi at the same time to audio tracks if someone prefers that workflow. Just select the Audio and Midi track in the Track View by holding shift and arm the tracks. Lastly, anything recorded in Audio tracks can be brought into the sampler if you want later, they show up as samples in the list of audio files. So if you want to chop, etc you can and still have the Audio track playing. I use that to warp some vocals on top of an already playing vocal track for harmonies.

🔥🔥🔥by far best way I have seen using looper inside MPC.

[@divebynight]

This really helped me out. I haven’t had my MPC very long and I knew I could do this but seeing you use the looper was what I needed. Thanks!

[@ChefSiraajJackson]

Good video, but JD missed the fact that every “recording” and/or audio track is saved in your sample pool. So the audio track is able to be edited, chopped, flipped how you want. You just have to go to sample edit and scroll around. It’s in there. You can save to a drm program and warp, pitch, mute from there.

[@AveMcree]

It's his first tutorial

[@chrisharrison809]

Cool idea. Using the looper and setting things to pads is dope.

[@dexstrumental]

Dude, great video!!! I first learned of you since the Benn Jordan MPC gate thing. Since then I’ve enjoyed a number of your vids but so far definitely got the most value out of this one.

[@sean808080]

Sir, you are a fantastic teacher and a true gentleman. I was outraged for you in that someone who is struggling to get the basics down, should not be publishing tutorials. Fortunately you are much more of a wise one and handled the conundrum with class and humor. Well done! I am really enjoying your videos as I get up to speed on my MPC one. Keep up the great work!

[@MeltWithU]

Finally, somebody who understands MIDI and making those connections work. I have a question for you. I have a 24 channel USB powered fader mixing interface, and I want to permanently set it up to control the volume of tracks via USB/MIDI In sequences. So that I don’t have to go to each track and adjust the volumes, I can just do it with my mixer. Is there an easier way other than essentially telling the MPC unit what you want each fader and button to do? I feel the manual doesn’t truly cover enough about MIDI, in order to facilitate mixers and import those settings into every project you want to do. I know that I can have the MPC unit load up any templates that I save out. Which I use to save my favorite instruments on Tracks in order to be able to get into and start a new project/sequence instantly after turning the unit on. But I also want to have it load up the Mixer interface when it does so. so that I have instant control over volumes of each track on that mixer board. Along with fader and EQ’s. Any help would be awesome. Love your videos. Keep up the great work.

Idk man, something to be said for the ease of just being able to make an audio track and play your phantom on it, and then transfer it to pro tools or whatever. All that other jazz is nove if you are building your entire project in the MPC ,but if you just want to record some audio it's not necessary

I mean… I record the stuff via audio without the MIDI but it’s good to know both are possible.

is there a way to have timing corect on that audio? i dont have great time to my playing

[@AveMcree]

Record the MIDI first then record the audio track

[@SonicVibe]

i feel him on this why this isn't under loop or sample is crazy and you have to resample a sample it records already for audio track waves to show up add arranger view smh its like why akai ? the software is so clunky for simple things sometimes and i always use machines like he does never a manual if you have to use a manual besides for like midi cc routing they didn't make it intuitive enough you shouldn't master it out the box but make exploring fun at least . And don't get me started on the backwards step sequencer

[@AveMcree]

That's also false. You can record both the audio and the MIDI at the same time but the real question is... Why would you do that in the first place? Especially, if you mess up playing the notes in real time. Hence why it would be SMART to record the MIDI first.

[@SonicVibe]

@@AveMcree I guess for me it was confusing at first cause you had to turn audio on 🔊 witch isn’t by default for some reason, and it felt out of place. being a separate audio space I guess intended for lyrics but it was how I was sampling if I messed up audio I’d just delete re-record and sense you didn’t see the recording wave right away it confused me it was midi. cause it’s under audio if that makes sense I did get it to work and after that was fine but initial setup left me scratching my head cause I wanted to chop the audio but then had to record it make it a sample send it over to programs then I could chop etc

[@SonicVibe]

For context at the time I was running power from usb to the dreadbox typhon and running audio out the typhon into the mpc not though midi so I was just trying to capture the audio and mix it with the mpc drums maybe I should have done it with midi just how I had my setup so sample was already ready I was just trying to capture it can’t render if it carried midi though usb I think 🤔 it could but I wasn’t using the 5 pin

I want to make a comment on the time stamp at 11:59 @AveMcree and I know that I am late to respond, but you are right about not able to mute the audio track, but you can definitely warp the audio so that you are able to time stretch.

[@MrCharizmatiik]

I saw an MP3X at a pawnshop today for about $1200. What do you think?

[@eugenebynumjr342]

So disrespectful. Jermaine Dupree has been allowing fans to watch him play around on his equipment, before KZbin. (106 and Park and MTV.). He always states that he does not read the manuals.

[@xavierb1307]

The looper has an added latency when recording that the audio track doesn’t have for me. It’s like 5-10 ms ish. if it didn’t I would use it more.. Also with Audio track you can warp but warp sucks anyways in standalone mode. I Still prefer recording to audio track to get perfect loops then simply use the audio track 00x file in a program. Also you can punch in with audio tracks.

[@X-101]

Honestly i only use hardware and it was obvious for me how recording audiotracks worked off the jump

[@ProdbyGrimeyred]

I dont use the X but the explanation was spot on.

[@andyfoster2656]

Did you purposely over complicate it but using some synth that has no keybed. He just wanted to record a sound. You set up various tracks held down pads etc. Could you not simplify n show how to record a phantom or a keyboard synth rather than some box u are then controlling via the Mpc.

[@johnsuggs7828]

Actually you're correct. My guess as to why he did it the way he did is he's more comfortable on the MPC so he's essentially using the MPC as a MIDI controller/sequencer to record MIDI notes and then play them back out to the outboard synth which sends it's sound out to the MPC to record into an audio track

[@AveMcree]
