This makes me want the MODEL12 even more. Even without any of this it is a sick mixer but this is beautiful! It seems like the MPC One and MODEL12 are perfect for each other.

[@hostnik777]

This series with the MPC, Model 12 and hw synths is by far the most useful series on YT in a while IMO. Please keep making more of these!

Thank you!

@@TeftyMeems How did you connect your computer to the MPC and Model 12 at the same time. Did you connect it after mixing to transfer files.

[@gridironflags]

100% agree =) All around great info and take aways

[@K.KILLORAN]

I’m so pumped for this. I have this setup and I’m so glad you decided to go more in depth with it. Awesome!

[@mikedegrazia]

Ive been getting in deeeeeep in my midi control and hardware routing and nobody has a good explanation , i was waiting for a video explaining this stuff in more details...glad its you because you are by far the most meticulous and detailed...

[@dracul74]

Great video. I went this route for awhile... now I have fully embraced the dark side and just record everything (I use a ton of keys, synths, guitars, etc) into my Mpc. I basically sketch up several sequences and then use the song mode to convert it into a single linear sequence.Sometimes I will just create a single long sequence from start. There are so many great in the box features for the Mpc that once you dedicate yourself to using you will have a-ha moments. I even mix on it now and just export to pc for mastering (for a while did the stem thing). Wish I had committed to this approach a lot sooner. Lately I have been sampling my synths into it and then creating custom keyboard instruments. Never imagined I’d be doing that either, lol.

[@K.KILLORAN]

Dang, I have so much to learn. I want to be doing this, but as my other comment says I’m not understanding the use case for recording into the mpc vs the model 12. Are you multitrack recording all of these things into the mpc at once? I like the song mode idea. I just wish I understood how to use audio tracks. At least I’m not the only one struggling to conceptualize using them on the mpc. I love this box, but I swear it’s one of the most frustrating experiences at times. Of course that makes it very rewarding as well, but learning this machine is really an undertaking like nothing else I have experienced with hardware, steep learning curve.

[@dracul74]

@@K.KILLORAN the way you want to work really will impact your process. Some ppl using MPC are doing live dawless jams or using that as a starting point. If that is you, then I would go with an approach like the one they are detailing here (I used a digital tascam recorder... but same idea). For me, I felt like there was a lot of post recording editing with this approach to get what I wanted and so I switched completely to working on individual sequences and recording parts one by one in the Mpc. It’s saving me time and for me at least the results are better. There is no right or wrong in my opinion. Hope it helps!

[@seitzsoundjohnseitz5396]

YES!

[@sophoninja]

@@dracul74 so you'll record a melody line in a sequence from hardware?

[@dracul74]

@@sophoninja often I do it that way (if I later don’t like it I chop it and retrigger). I also often use the new Mpc plugins to write the parts initially and once I have them the way I want I change them from using the plug-in to a midi track and send it to hardware for a different sound which I then sample.

[@RecordingStudio9]

This is the most detailed and helpful tutorial I've seen. Model 12 can only be a MIDI Master Clock, ignoring any MIDI receive. So MPC One can Sync to Model 12 and multi-track-take audio recording can make it easy to sync.

[@christian_blass]

The Midi Sync of the MPC can be very frustrating with some gear. I haven't testet to setup the Model 12 as a Master Clock.

[@augustisraelsson2250]

If you can live with Model 12 being master clock and starting and stopping from the it instead of the MPC it shouldn't be a problem recording in the correct measure.

[@LukeLendrum]

Really love your videos. You have a very earnest, humble and honest presentation style which is very pleasant to watch. Found you while deliberating between different mixers for a home dawless rig and you've really helped isolate the Model 12 as the correct choice for me. ✌️

After viewing a few of your vids(and sub'd), I'd like to say what I like most about your vids is how methodical you are, that really resonates with me. We must explore permutations because under one or two are special prizes, lol. I've also learned more from you than other vids from 'mpc experts'. I was frustrated with the mpc workflow and bought a force, and I decided to sell the mpc live, that very day akai sent the 'oh hey, yeah, there is a pretty severe update or whatever, just sayin', that was the 2.1 update. And after force update, I'm just keeping both. (smaug swimming thru a room full of gear)

Instead of using a USB mixer as my MPC audio interface, I use a regular mixer with my MPC connected to the "Group 1-2" output. That way I can have a completely analog jam, while sampling any inputs I want by sending them to the Group bus.

[@alexstephenschumaker8195]

Thank you for this awesome informative video! I just joined the Akai MPC family. Just an fyi... I was updating the firmware after buying the MPC One and was getting a random static blip when I set up audio over usb about every 5-6 seconds. If I connected the MPC One to my mixer with the audio cables, the static blip went away. I assumed my MPC One's usb port was faulty, so I took it back and exchanged it for another unit. When I got home, the same thing happened after I updated to the latest firmware. Turns out, I think what happened was that someone leaked a v2.11.6 firmware update on the Akai website (not sure if this was intentional or not), but I decided "what the heck, let me try going down to the v2.11.4 firmware update". That did it! Then I could enjoy following along with the rest of your video. Thank you for providing clarity and being such a good teacher.

[@seitzsoundjohnseitz5396]

Another super terrific video and I certainly agree with the last 2 comments. .So I've been running this setup for the last week with an X and a Tascam Model 12. I both love it and hate it. Love that I have more ins and outs but certainly not as straightforward or simple as grabbing ideas in the MPC. I'm also noticing more "noise/hum" from both guitar and mic when going through the Tascam v plugging direct into the MPC.

[@terencetso1025]

You can set the Model 12 to record post-eq per track as well - it's in Menu -> Mixer -> MTR/USB SEND POINT. Just flip each track to Post-EQ. It's all pre-fade for levels, pans, and effects tho.

[@terencetso1025]

@Derek Fleetham you can fade with the fader - it just won't record for the individual multitrack channels. If you want to record your fades in realtime, it can only be done with the master channel recording. This is pretty standard for mixers with direct outs/multitrack. The idea is that in a live environment, you'll process/eq and adjust levels for the room and for the show, but if you want to have a live recording optimized for listening, you can take the stems and re-do the EQ/automation/levels for a proper mixdown in a studio.

Oh man your tip about using clips and chopping them is very nice/useful! I have been using audio tracks and it as you say: it is very annoying workflow wise because on every screen no matter if you use track mutes or if you want to mix or whatever audio recording are on a different tab. I have been using audio tracks for voice recordings but i will try the sample and see if that feels better somehow.

Hey I didn’t read the comments-they might have provided a better solution. But something I use to do on mpc 1000 to work around the 4 bar limit u were talking about with audio recordings. U loop in ur 12 bar sample-within the 4 bar sequence. And it Reloop after the 4th bar. Yo avoid this--As soon as 12 bar sample starts in 4 bar sequence-I would mute the 12 bar track. So it wouldn’t Reloop after 4 bars-but it still plays out the entire 12 bars(how ever long the solo is) over the 4 bar sequence without relooping. Pretty sure I did that with mpc live before lockdown often. Sample in a one minute solo from my synth. But use it in an 8 bar sequence. By muting it after first loop. Hope that helps some. Dope vids-I appreciate the knowledge u drop.

You can use MTC on the model 12 and have the Mpc receive it and send out a midi clock. Only caveat is you need to use the play or record on the m12 to have everything start. The m12 can then receive the midi clock over usb and send it out the midi ports on the m12 for anything connected to it

[@EnochLight]

Fantastic video as always, Tefty! Couple of things: for your viewers, it’s actually 44.1 KHz required (not “44”). Also, the 8 stereo audio tracks in standalone are capped at 4:59 in length. You hit 5 minutes and try to save your Project, and your recording will get dumped or truncated to 4:59 (can’t remember which). Until disc-streaming makes an appearance (hopefully someday sooner rather than later) that’s also a massive limitation for audio tracks in standalone.

[@LibertyLuminary]

Are those 4:59 tracks limited by the Model 12 or MPC? I am researching gear for a use similar to this video. Not sure 4:59 is a limitation I want to be stuck with.

Amazing video… all of them are really. I’d put you right up there with Loopop or Red Means Recording. Great info, delivered in a smooth, calm and concise manner. And musical! So many videos out there where the info might be useful but they are using awful sounds. You didn’t record to a DAW but if I understand correctly, this mixer can be used to multi-track to a DAW? Right now I use an Mackie VLZ4 and run the output into Apogee Duet, recording each track one at a time. This mixer could replace the Mackie and Duet as an all in one solution and record all (or most of my tracks) in one pass? You get loads of comments so I don’t know how many say the same but I’d love to see how you use the sends and inserts on this mixer. With everything running in and out through USB, how would someone add effects outside of the built in effects? And speaking of effects, it would be interesting to know which effects on the MPC are your favorites. I have been using an all Elektron setup for the past 4 years and so there are only a few effects to even think about. I’ve recently purchased a Live 2 and there are so many effects… some decent, some not… or maybe I’m not seeing there potential. Lastly… do you know if it’s possible to make the Elektron boxes change patterns when switching a sequence on the MPC Live 2? Sorry, that was a lot… At any rate, I appreciate all the amazing information you pass on. Thank you!

Actually, I find the Mpc midi clock out having too much latency to effectively use the looper for recording synced sequences from other synths or (certainly) drummachines. There's a like a 15 to 20 ms lag. (Silence in the beginning of the looper). Also tested this by recording both mpc output and xtra drummchine in ableton and comparing them in the timeline. I have better/tighter results by using old redsound audio to midi conversion hardware or a korg sq1 to convert cv clock to midi clock.

I'm basically just throwing cookies at the algorithm monster. But these types of videos are greatly appreciated, awesome.

Good Video brotha, I have a similar setup with tascam model 12 and I just got the MPC ONE, I still like using logic pro, but I want the MPC ONE to be my center harware hub piece and master last in Logic
