MPC One Guitar Recording Setup For Putting Down Ideas Fast

[@acidfrogs10]

bro you dont even know how much I appreciate these vids

[@blocklit]

Matthew, another very very good video. Everything is explained in a manner that can be clearly understood. For those people like me who is new to the MPC, your videos help to make so much easier. Best regards and thanks again. Fantastic.

[@jonprosise7162]

Thanks for the video. Good job. You're a good teacher.

[@rodrigozevallos2758]

There's so much value on your content man!, thank you so much

[@ramjetproductions2]

Thanks Matthew,you always make great instructional videos for mpc.really helped me get up and running with mpc one

[@MatthewStratton]

Awesome! Glad to hear!

@@MatthewStratton Do I need a DI box ? Or can I plug my guitar directly into the MPC?

[@e-tones8383]

Thanks a lot for that. Finally got my hands on my first MPC. Sadly. But these things are very nice to say the least....😊

[@PabloDeModeOfficial]

Great video! I sometimes forget the capability of the audio features which are really powerful. It’s a great feature to compose and rearrange loops, resample and then use them into the drums or clips mode. Thank you so much!

[@channelz3363]

Whoa…! Feel some Ministry coming on!!! Thanks

[@MatthewStratton]

You're welcome.

[@vectorsigma]

your videos have been immensely helpful with learning the mpc one. I cannot thank you enough! I HAVE ONE QUESTION, THOUGH: I'm kind of a gear noob, so what does that blue V-tone thing do exactly? Why choose that over just some like distortion pedals?

[@cresshead]

excellent, well explained, appreciated.

[@MatthewStratton]

Appreciate you.

[@just_pierre9730]

Another good video, thanks Matthew. btw....do you still own the Force? I ask this because Akai yesterdag released firmware 3.1.1.

[@postpunkkid1]

Great video. Thanks. I'm a guitarist and just starting with the MPC one. One thing I'd like to understand is what happens if you want to let your chord ring past the end of the drum loop ( like at the end of a particular section, going into another and letting your chord ring onto the next bar of the next section or at the end of the song for example)?

[@aruaajuwahan-nelson6719]

Hi Matthew I'm just wondering can you please do a video to show how to connect your turntable to the Tascam mixer via mpc live

[@sjgraafmans]

Great videos Mathew, I have learned sooo much from you. Do you have any tutorial on importing standard midifiles to MPC One. Cheers.

[@user-mb8rf7qk5q]

Matthew THANK YOU for explaining things SO CLEARLY! question: did you have to format that hard drive before using it with the One? I am about to buy it but want to make sure I know what I’m getting in to. Thank you again for everything you’re the best with the MPC tutorials! 🙌🏽

[@MatthewStratton]

I don't remember formatting it., I just plugged it in and started using it.

[@user-mb8rf7qk5q]

@@MatthewStratton good to know, that’s exasaactly what I’m looking for. Thanks for the answer and just so you know your videos help so many people!! Thanks a million

[@tom22333]

Thanks Matthew!

You're welcome!

[@deanisplemoni]

I need to try this again, but last time I tried a similar setup, it wouldn't let me Overdub. It just kept overwriting?

[@richardbailey1447]

Perfect video. Your channel has been a real lifeline as jumped in and didn't really know what i was doing. Quick question. I've got an SD card plugged in the front with loops on it. I've imported my sample via "browse", edited my track to "drums" However "browse samples" is not clickable. so i can't select it, duplicate it. Any ideas? Many thanks for all the support

[@richardbailey1447]

I've just figured it out, I had to click the dotted square box on the toolbar up the top.

[@Doc_Underkraut]

Great thanks!

[@TomKuhl]

Hello Matthew. I also made a little video today in which I mentioned you. It's in German, though. ;-) Thank you very much for your videos and your good advice. Many greetings from Cologne.

[@MatthewStratton]

Awesome! Thanks. Just checked out the video!

[@jeffreydavid6794]

Matthew does the mpc one have a lot of realistic sounding acoustic drum kits available? That's what I'm looking for. For finger drumming. I'm pretty new to drum machines. I'm pretty sure I want a stand alone machine.

[@taggartjs]

Hi, Matthew! Awesome videos! My question is a bit off topic. Sorry! I wasn’t sure where else to ask. Anyway, have you attempted to import Standard MIDI Files into the MPC One? Can it be done? I’m thinking about getting a “One” or a “Live 2” and wanted to be sure it could be done. Thank you, in advance, for your knowledge! Taggart

[@asovlog5594]

Matthew Please help to setup a 4channel mixer to behrenger umc404 connect

[@mrthingamabob8117]

Thanks for the video ! I do find audio tracks a bit of pain in global project though. You can’t use track mute for instance, which doesn’t make sense to me. Don’t you find the looper better for recording guitars ?

[@MatthewStratton]

I find it easy enough to simply remove audio from a track if I don't want it in a sequence. But, it is easy enough to add the recorded audio to a clip program and use that if I want to use track mutes. I pretty much don't use the looper, because you can't record your loops separately and mute just one of them if you want. I sometimes use punch in and out to record guitar into audio tracks when I just want to have some fun and keep jamming and keep the music going.

[@mrthingamabob8117]

@@MatthewStratton "add the recorded track to a clip program", man, I hadn't thought about that ! Will try asap ! Thanks for everything you do and for sharing your knowledge !

[@rayromero1383]

Hi there!! Love your videos..! I have a question Matthew?! I just bought the MPK 3 that came with MPC Beats... I really wanna record guitar but can’t figure out how?? Did I invest in the wrong things?? :/

[@MatthewStratton]

You need an audio interface to plug your guitar into. Check out this video done with the full mpc software: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJ6loZZ_mqaNpJo

[@sinewaymusic]

Appreciate this video! You know you can rename a track by pressing the button above the pencil button, right? I noticed that you press the pencil button and then the title, which adds a couple of unnecessary steps. 😊

[@MatthewStratton]

Well aware...I just do everything from the one window so when I am in a flow I don't have to think about which button to push if I want to use the edit tools, or if I want to rename. It is preference, because taking the extra couple seconds to think about it adds steps(time) too. Thanks for the comment!

[@MatthewStratton]

I developed the habit of doing it probably about 4 years ago. I might try to use the A button to rename again, now that you mentioned it, as it does take out 2 steps. I just remember when I was first learning how to use MPC wasting time wondering why Akai made it where you can rename in 2 places. There are a lot of redundant applications that are built into the MPC.

[@sinewaymusic]

@@MatthewStratton Yeah, the UI is in need of a cleanup for sure and it's unnecessary to have several paths to the same settings. I wonder when Akai will prioritize that type of usability and workflow improvements over adding features, but personally I'd much rather have a new FM synth engine than a faster workflow so I'm torn myself. 😊

[@ashleywebster1207]

Just a quick question will a 8tb harddrive hub work with the mpc one?

[@sjgraafmans]

Just newbie here My new MPC one is not displaying all the bass notes I need to complete my bass track. for example key of A Major has no A# displayed. What am I doing wrong? Your channel is an awesome info source. Thank you.

[@MatthewStratton]

You mean pad perform isn't showing A# when you are in the key of A Major? You need to change the settings of pad perform to chromatic to show the notes that are not in the scale you selected.

[@sjgraafmans]

@@MatthewStratton Great thank you so much.

[@pydepiperproductionsllcjon7585]

No one actually answers me but I will ask you. When using my MPC one should I just use the quarter outputs to the mixer and use the mixers usb to the DAW? I have the Baranger H2222.

[@whiteboygodzilla6044]

Matthew you have a guitar chords kit for sell or free ?

[@kevinmckee8233]

Hey Matt, hope you answer. I just subscribed to your channel. I'm new to MPC Beats. I have hooked up an Akai mini mk3 and Forsite Solo Scarlet interface. Now I want to use my guitar to lay down some tracks. I downloaded a free VST amp sim, AmpLion. However, I can't seem to find this VST. I see it when I bring up preferences and run a scan but I don't see it in the VST folder when I click Plugins in the software. Any Help?? Thanks

[@sedwords]

@2:27 on my MPC ONE+ the "browse samples" button is greyed out. How do I load a wav file onto an audio track?

[@pydepiperproductionsllcjon7585]

Oh second question how to remove Hum when connecting usb to computer. Some say use a better usb cord, one says use filters someone else says remove it in the software. I am very confused.

[@sierragold]

Okay... so do I absolutely NEED a DI box to record my electric guitar into the MPC One?

[@HoldMyBeerFam]

Thanks bro

[@MatthewStratton]

You're welcome.

[@tonteconcept2044]

Thanks Matthew, I am having click(or pop) at the end of my guitar recordings, anyone have the same issue ?

[@gagealbright]

you can record up to 8 audio tracks in one song on the mpc one right? and they can all be up to 5 minutes long? thank u!

[@gagealbright]

i own an mpc one now [i didnt when i asked the above question]. in case anyone wants to know, the answer to both of my questions above is "yes". answering my own questions on youtube, oh yeah. lol

[@ryanclinton8443]

i have a mpc live and when i turn it on it says can not find internal audio then shuts off. its in standalone mode.

[@kingchron1798]

Dude is there a way, there must be a way, to record virtual effects from the XYFX mode. I've tried recording when in write automation mode. It seems like it never works for me....anyone?

[@kingchron1798]

I mean the whole multitrack not just individual programs...

[@hargoniyamaki5168]

5:34 in, you still haven’t recorded any guitar. Tell me what fast means where you live in the next video.

[@MatthewStratton]

The idea is to learn how to set up the session. Once you learn how to setup the session you can either save it or setup it up quickly after you learn how to do it. I could have skipped everything and just recorded the guitar, and been done in 1 minute, but you would have no idea how to set up the audio tracks. If you think 5:34 is a long time to learn something, I would hate to see your patience in a collage class. Have a blessed day.
