MPC Live - Loading Samples To Create, Save, and Load Drum Kits

[@tonypatino3156]

By far the best videos for the internal workings of the MPC.

[@MatthewStratton]

I appreciate you!

[@jackgrimwood4004]

So many simples things but leave me scratching my head on the early days , cheers my dude

[@GilWandered]

Just got an MPC 2! Gonna start studying tutorials now. New sub, thanks man

Really valuable as always. Thank you.

[@itslordjoshua]

Thanks For another Great Video Matthew🔥🔥💥💥

[@MatthewStratton]

You're welcome!

[@GodsPoetryProductions]

Exactly what I was looking for thanks. I was planning in recording a lot of samples but I had no idea how to store and retrieve them. I'm new to MPC.

[@MatthewStratton]

Cool. Glad you found the video.

Hey man love your videos very helpful and informative I am trying to load SND files from an MPC 2000 XL on my MPC live any suggestions?

[@Philtho]

Thanks man! Just got my Live II and got a bunch of chops I needed to save!

[@MatthewStratton]

Glad I could help!

[@AD-Dom]

I’m sold. Damn that’s smart and easy.

[@MatthewStratton]

For sure. 👍

[@maxribot3260]

Hi there, appreciate your videos. Do you happen to know, if I purchase a drum pack (such as Cookin Soul's Lo Bap Bundle Kit), how do I load this onto my MPC Live 2? And which file type should I download it as (MP3, ALAC, FLAC, WAV)? Thanks, Max

[@BlaccSymphanyBeats777]

Do you know if it's possible to turn off sustaining loop before saving a program? Each chop is saving as a loop and not one shots. So when I open the chops in a say soundforge, the chops are playing as loops and shows a sustained loop marker. If I open the chops up in mpc 2000xl , when a pad is pressed and held it plays as a loop. I would like to chop in mpc software and load the chops into mpc 2000xl, so they play as one-shots. The loop can be turned off in mpc 2000, but that's manually and it has to be done for each chop, which is time consuming .

You're a goddamn treasure man.

[@herb39hs]

Thank yooooou Mathew I needed this also dope

[@Trakmen]

How do you erase loaded samples from the sample pool?

[@ricoeab2]

Very helpful thank you 💪🏾💯 great video

[@MatthewStratton]

Glad to help.

[@rishpanjeet7479]

Thank you, I love the sound quality of the live too but I’m not really into the hip-hop samples. I want to use it for dark electronic and goth style of music with lots of Lofi and reverb and this helps me a lot I value your time large sir

[@Cruzcity]

Did you get it ? Because i just got mine & the “note repeat” option (with speed options) def Govea me techno & dark wave options.

[@rishpanjeet7479]

@@Cruzcity didn’t like it. Too slow of loading times for everything. Polyend Tracker still going strong. Fast as hell.

[@steveperry7799]

MORE of this!!

[@davemo2976]

Agreed!!! Bro I hope this becomes a regular thing answering subs questions!! Keep up the awesome work!!

[@djnoriega]

How can I clear out the programs and sequences tht I uploaded when I want to upload a new program and sequence like u would on a mpc 2500 ?

[@AshleyLakep]

how do I add additional pad banks?

[@ryry12101]

thanks man, super helpful

[@LucasMcCain97]

What if I just wast to save each sound individually instead of a set kit can I do that?

[@WendellHolmesJr]

How do you import drum sounds into a MPC 2500?

[@JayEP86]

Can I use a external hard drive on the mpc live?

[@MatthewStratton]

Hello. My Seagate BackPlus external hard drive shows up on the MPC Live and works. It uses a USB cable to connect.

[@steveperry7799]

Yes.

[@reoscorpio]

if i have a drum kit from Maschine.. thats already assembled with the samples i want to use.. can that be imported.. loaded up in MPC Live.. & if so.. can you explain how.. thanks in advance

[@MatthewStratton]

Hello, the kits that are designed for Maschine work with Maschine. You cannot load them into the MPC. However, you can load the samples from Maschine into the MPC individually by finding where they are installed on your hard drive and loading them into the MPC. Then, you can create kits out of the samples.

[@djnes2k7]

There’s a program I recently found for 30$ called kit-maker that does exactly that. It also lets you make your own kits

[@MatthewStratton]

@@djnes2k7 yes. It just surfaced not to long ago and it is in early bird pricing. I actually have it too and I'm going to transfer some maschine kits over for my MPC. Thanks for sharing 👍

[@gabeg2674]

Hey Matthew I have a question I bought my MPC live secondhand and there’s a bunch of drum kits and Instruments on it that I would love to use in the MPC DAW on my computer. I have been having trouble transferring them any tips?

[@Rhookcastle]

Thank you

[@Phrozen716]

I figured out how to sample edit chop etc I figured out how to sample edit and chop etc. I’m trying to figure out if I’m just sitting around the house playing records grabbing samples where is that folder location not so much assigned it to a program to start doing something production wise see if I’m just chilling around the house and I’m just listening to old records and I just wanna grab a sample and keep moving forward grab a sample I can’t figure out where to save that in on if you can do a video pretty much just like you just sitting around the house on a Saturday morning listening to some old vinyl and you just grabbing samples back after bed grabbing samples and you say OK now I grab these 15 samples I need to put them in a folder on this MPC software so I can come back later

[@pdalxndr6272]

can u delete the drum program and still keep the kit????

[@op-1g.s]

I am wondering why you not have a chord mode tutorial video. Thx.

[@MatthewStratton]

I use pad perform in various videos on my channel. I am independent and make videos when not working my full time job.

[@kennethbeavers6903]

@@MatthewStratton where can I find a tutorial on how to move projects and samples from internal to SSD card? I have searched high low

[@Phrozen716]

Sorry about that pretty much on the MPC software you have a little record icon at the top once you grab a sample yada yada yada boom how do you create a folder to pretty much have multiple samples sit in on your computer for future reference far as actually using those samples in the song production wise item can sample by only time I can sample is pretty much I gotta save it to a program and actually start creating something I just wanna sit around sometime and just grab samples and create a folder on a Saturday and maybe come back to them that following Tuesday and then work on some of those samples

[@jasuribrohimov5005]

brother I have a bit of a problem where system resources cpu is going very fast 100%

[@avisionaryvoice]

I made a beat using samples and the time came to put a beat behind the sample tryed to play drums on the sample and the drums sounds kept stuttering does anyone knows what is causing this?please help

[@DjdoubleedgeRegg]

I'm complete on a brain freeze. I've been away from my MPC One for 3 months and I'm having trouble importing a wav file sample from my SD Card or Ext Hard Drive. Help Me Please???

[@MatthewStratton]

When you plug your sd card go to your browser and select places. you should see your sd card in the list. select your sd card and your fold with the sample and select the sample and press in the data dial. It loads the sample. if you have a pad selected it will place it on that pad, if not it just goes into the sample pool and you can assign it manually.

[@emmanuel_studio955]

Where can I get FL studio drum kits for free?

video helped fam but you had all the folders preset on your sd card already. didnt explain how you did that or the order...

[@MatthewStratton]

Do you need to know how to create folders?

[@gezaszekeres1106]

When I load an existing pgm to my new project, then I edit the samples, let’s say the pgm as well, will it affect my previous prgm/project when I save the new one?

[@jasuribrohimov5005]

Help me

[@Theckonestroh]

Thanks. SD card! I'm lost with how ppl throw MPC under the bus for not having a live session. When your dubbing in any machine weather it be Ableton push or SP-404 All these machines are dubbing track's. Relying on a machine for pitch or octaves to match is really poor production when music is played at a range of pitches and octaves.
