Thank you brother. It’s been such a blessing for us. I really appreciate you being a part of the journey 🫡🤜🏽🤛🏽

[@realtrevyblaze]

Thanks Malo. Love my MPC One, Model 12 came in the mail Thursday. Still learning it and picked up a couple tricks from this vid like every time I tune into your content. Keep up the good work 🦾

[@stevekirkby6570]

Been using the Tascam for a couple of years (before I got the MPC Keys) and it is awesome. The EQ is great if you get the gain staging right. The compressor is a joy - one knob, but optomised really well, so you can get a variety of effects depending on the input and the one knob. Regarding the pots - I think yours is a demo? - so it might be worn? Mine is very nice still after two years. It also has some nice fx and the easy recording directly to card is great when jamming with friends especially. By the way, that's how I would use the inserts... record clean to the card and then mixdown - you will then be able to use the inserts... actually old school and means you don't print the insert compression etc. Safer. Oh, and you can also internally bounce to free up tracks :) Wiith the MPC keys and it's limited number of physical inputs and outputs it's a game changer. Getting things routed around if you have a couple of synths, sample sources, guitar/bass or vocals - well it stops you having to be constantly unplugging and re-routing stuff. The possiblilities really open up. The price is VERY reasonable considering the functionality. It will also act as a master clock, so if you have stuff recorded on the card your MPC or Modular etc etc can be all locked tight. Tascam also do other models with more channels, but I'm not sure as to their USB capabilities compared to the 12.

THANK YOU for this very detailed video...I learn a lot from u ...My question is.. Do you really need it .? The MPC Does the exact same thing..I get that it's nice to feel the knobs..

[@SauceSoundz]

Excellent vid malo! Didnt even know u can do that with the mpc. I got an old soundstream 12 multi track. Im gonna see if i can get it to work with my live 2. Btw love how unbiased you are and how true your staying to the culture. That rep can be crushed in a minute and it totally looks like you are protecting that. Respect my brother 🫡

[@malobeats]

Brother, this really means a lot and thank you so much for taking the time to share this feedback with me. Also, if you have an old interface, just make sure his class compliant or else it just won’t pop up in your MPC hardware options. Regardless, you could still plug it in and just see if it pops up or not. Much love to you brother. 🤜🏽🤛🏽🫡

[@davidneau8830]

Thanks for this video. It was very clear and interesting to see ho you can use the usb class compliant of the MPC. I have a little question ; How can you use the model 12 to record different instruments ? For example, to record a sample in a track and an instrument in another track on your MPC by USB ? Hope you will have time to answer. It will be a topic for an interesting video maybe ? Take Care.

Great video as always Malo. I've had the Model 12 for 18 months now. It's great now that they've fixed the issues with the MPC firmware. But I agree about longevity. I'm considering a MOTU Ultralite MK5 and a Cranbourne Audio 500 ADAT. I'm just not sure that the MOTU will work as I can't find anyone that's using that combo.

I use virtual tracks from the Mpc live 2 to ableton. Then I route in and out with pedals to my interface. I also send the tracks from the Mpc to separate tracks in ableton via usb and just use the app in ableton. It’s a clean setup.

[@AFE948]

Nice! Creative!

[@sx178]

It's an excellent video, thank you. For those on a tighter budget who don't use external processing, it's possible to connect a Launch Control XL and configure the MIDI Learn function. This allows you to still have the sensation of mixing with faders while remaining "in the box."

[@CaseUltra]

do you have to configure the midi learn every time? Or can you set it up once and it will always be configured to match the faders etc..?

[@musicislife704]

[@MakingMadBeats]

How do you find the sound quality of the model 12' s EQs compared to MPCs built-in ones since the Tascam Model 12 is digital? THX

[@jamesdean5095]

Loved watching this Malo! I happened to have a Xone 96 for DJing which I now use in the same way for mixing, EQing and fattening/dirt (6 stereo channels w/ EQ, 2 without, many send/return options). It honestly is such a fun way to work, and great to have a dedicated device for audio shaping and connecting outboard gear rather than menu diving on the MPC. The send/return situation looks a bit awkward yes. Model 16 could provide enough with additional channels and workarounds to get more sends? P.S. How exciting for your new space and the vision it's allowing you to pursue... have fun :D

[@malobeats]

Hey brother, thank you so so much for taking the time and sharing his input with us. Incorporating outboard gear could be a bit finicky with this device and that is one reason why I’m still going to consider searching for different alternatives at the moment. Thank you so much for the kind words and it’s definitely exciting for me as I am building my studio piece by piece. It really makes me feel like a kid again lol.

[@ccmp23]

I was going to say something similar, the Xone 96 is great with the current MPC’s and I think it’s more creative for live mixing. I’ve got a Model 12 and an SSL Big Six too… I would do a comparison video, if I was a video maker and had time. 😊

[@jamesdean5095]

@@ccmp23 Wow quite the selection you've got! The 96 is an absolute dream for this combo, and so performative... but I'm aware it costs a bunch and the only reason I have it is because I know how powerful it is for DJing. You should def do that comparison vid that would be fascinating to see! The 96 has 1, only 1 limiting factor for me... no multi-tracking out when already connected to the MPC as an audio device. It's so, so close to being perfect. That being said, at the level I'm at this is arguably unnecessary and the potential to master further in a DAW is probably more of a distraction than anything.

[@Nobofilms]

Look, im reeally new to this stuff and i dont understand much so dont judge. I recently got mpc one and im still learning to use it and not planning to buy other gear before i "master" that, but someday i will expand my setup, now that ive watched your videos for a while i fell in love the way mpc one and sp404 looks and sounds together and i also love the idea of mixing my sounds with tascam. Again im really new to this stuff, but my question is there a some way to connect those three pieces together and is there even point doing that, i just love the way all this gear looks and someday will buy some but first i need to know how all this works and wich pieces can be used together and how to connect those, thank you!

[@AFE948]

Hi @Nobofilms Yes, you can connect the Roland SP404 to the MPC One. You can typically connect them using audio cables, such as RCA or 1/4" cables, depending on the outputs and inputs available on both devices. This allows you to integrate the SP404's effects and sample playback capabilities into your MPC One workflow, adding versatility to your production setup.

[@JayaLove]

Thanks for the great info! I have a M12 and just bought some out oats gear, the Eventide Space. Unfortunately I don’t have extra channels to bring it back in. So as much as I love the mixer I think I’ll need to get a bigger one. Maybe the 16 or 24. It’s a bummer you have to use regular channels to bring in the Aux/FX sends. It would have been better to have dedicated ports for the return. Kind of a crappy move in Tascam’s part. Your video helped confirm what I wished wasn’t the case, that I have to lose 2 channels for the outboard gear. (The Space pedal is stereo)

[@malobeats]

Thank you so much for sharing your input. I thought I was the only one that was complaining about the two extra channels we had to spare. It’s a great mixer, but definitely something that we might grow out of fairly quick. Thank you so much for stopping by.

[@PiriakaTrackwrecker]

Sweet! Hadn't seen this, have the same setup, including the pedal (some nice Strymons as well) it's a sick dub mixer and fx strips. Pity it doesn't have dedicated returns. Love the compressor. Must do some clips. Love the sweep able mids too.

[@mgd9151]

Model twelve is dope. Yeah, i agree with those that xact limitations being small but much needed. Have you tried the r cording to the board and sampling from it yet?

[@DrLumpyDMus]

I'd like to hear/see a little more demonstration of the features. Lots of excited talk about how much you like it.

[@archersboymusic7996]

Malo great vid, I notice you have an apollo interface. If you kept the model 12 how would you use both interfaces together? Would it even be beneficial?

[@AFE948]

Yes, it's possible to route audio from one interface through another, typically by connecting the outputs of one interface to the inputs of another. This setup can have several benefits: 1. Expansion of inputs/outputs: If one audio interface doesn't have enough inputs or outputs for your needs, you can use another interface to expand your setup. For example, you might route the outputs of one interface into the inputs of another to effectively increase the number of available inputs. 2. Utilizing different features: Each audio interface may have unique features or capabilities. By routing audio through multiple interfaces, you can take advantage of the strengths of each device. For instance, one interface might have high-quality preamps, while another might offer advanced DSP effects. 3. Flexibility in signal routing: Routing audio through multiple interfaces gives you greater flexibility in how you route signals within your setup. You can create custom signal paths, apply effects from one interface to signals from another, or route signals for specific monitoring or recording purposes. Overall, routing one interface through another can be a powerful way to customize and optimize your audio setup to suit your specific needs and preferences. Also keep in my some of the negatives are increased latency and sound degradation. I would suggest to use only one good interface unless you have a drawn out plan to use more than one.

[@pilzfreak9662]

I made a bit of a random bought with the model 12, because I needed a new audio interface... And I always wanted the RME babyface... But with this thing, I can control the faders of my DAW, have an audio interface with pretty low latency possible, I can finally buy some hardware synths and record them at the same time, and at the same time a portable Recorder for jamming sessions or whatever. I even have fun just listening music, playing around with the EQ and effects, even if they are not the best :D I will never use all of its features but I think it is a really nice tool

[@christopherbenedetto]

Does anyone know? Can you use USB B of Key 37 to *output* the L/R audio of a sequence? Asking as my mixer (a Yamaha MG10XU) has a USB B 2input/2output that allows for monitoring signal while NOT sending that monitored signal to the stereo out (i.e. this allows monitoring MPC tracks while laying down vocals, guitar, bass etc thru mixer into MPC).

Dope vid. Question though: How do you record your tracks on the Tascam 12? I've routed all my tracks from the MPC to the Tascam, but I've found when trying to export in song mode, only tracks 1,2 record. Not sure if there's a work around to this. I've had to stem the programs out, but all the mixing and compression I've added on the mixer doesn't translate over when doing that.

[@stephensummers6295]

I have the same questions.

[@TommyTrentonJr]

Im assuming since I didnt see the faders move on the mpc screen that when you move the mixers faders it does not adjust anything in the mpc within the actual project, or does it? If it doesn't, wouldn't that mean that if the mixer isant hooked up with the same exact parimiters set on the knobs, faders etc, that the mpc project will remain untouched and the mixer would need to be adjusted again? Like does the mixer actually control any functions within the mpc?

[@theserulesoflife]

I have this- haven't used it much- have a question- maybe you or somebody else can assist. Is there a way to have the inputs from my MPC- but then the output to my daw and when I record- it'll record all channels simultaneously? In other words: I have my MPC connected via USB to the Model 12. And I have: Channel/track 1: drums Channel/track 2: sample Channel/track 3: bass Channel/track 4: horns And then have the Output going to Studio One- I arm tracks 1-4 hit record, and play on the tascam and it'll record each track live. Is this possible? Perhaps a tutorial on setting up ??

[@AFE948]

You can typically record multiple tracks at once, especially if you're using a version with multitrack recording capabilities. This allows you to capture different instruments or sounds simultaneously, which can be useful for creating complex arrangements. However, the exact capabilities may vary depending on the specific model and software version you're using.

[@davidwagner85]

I have way more than just 2 outboard effects units when using my mpc and model 12. But... I set things up in a much more logical way than this. But i am mainly using he tascam for its recordig capabilities. He is right about the preamps though.

[@AFE948]

You can sample directly into the MPC using a stereo (or mono but stereo would be more appropriate) channel. Just make sure when you are in sample mode you route your channels to the correct channel example: if you are using stereo 9/10 make sure you have the appropriate channel in the MPC One selected. Mode should be on PC.

[@HoodHandyman]

Hey guys will this work with the roland sp 404 mk2 or just the mpc one plus?

[@AFE948]

Yes, you can connect both the Roland SP404 and the MPC One to the Tascam Model 12 mixer simultaneously. Each device would connect to the mixer using audio cables, such as RCA or 1/4" cables, depending on the available inputs and outputs on the mixer and the devices. This setup enables you to incorporate both the MPC One and the SP404 into your production workflow, giving you access to their respective features and capabilities while utilizing the mixing and routing capabilities of the Model 12.

[@mickeybreezy]

You mentioned you use the Model 12 as a mixer and track out the sounds to your DAW. Does that mean you are using a second interface into the computer since the Model 12 is already plugged into the MPC? Also, when you move a fader to change the level, does it reflect that change within the MPC so you can disconnect from the Model 12 and revisit that project at another time, or is it always a live mix? Meaning none of your Model 12 mixes could live on the MPC unless you recorded it back into itself somehow. I want to be able to keep everything on the MPC and not use a computer basically at all. I'm looking at the MPC Live 2 for this purpose.

Alright, let's start with the basics: what's the primary focus of your music endeavors? Are you primarily performing live, recording in the studio, or perhaps a bit of both? Understanding your workflow helps tailor the recommendations regarding mixers to suit your needs.

thanks mate for your honest and valuable review!!

[@willjay6943]

what is the delay in lag in milliseconds ms ?

[@nickreviewdude]

My faders won’t work I tried everything any help please?

[@AFE948]

Did you get it working?

[@nickreviewdude]

@@AFE948 my problem was I thought it would control the actual fader in the Mpc but nah it just sends it to the fader and you have to record it on the mixer

[@lionra4523]

Thank you!

Switch the Tascam for an SSL Big Six. Better preamps and EQ.

[@ProbeRoket]

i just got a tascam 238. working that into the flavors

[@wiggesobk]

Great video. That's a great idea with the mixer i will keep that in mind.

[@manofsound9098]

Question: Is the Model 12 the ONLY true daw controller vs the Model 16 or 24? Can I use the Model 24 the same way you are using it on the Model 12? I heard the Model 24 is NOT able to do what the 12 does? Any help would be great!

[@AFE948]

Yes the Model 12, 16, and 24 works the same with MPC One just make sure you take the time to think how inputs/outputs are routed the more tracks you have. It can get very confusing, I suggest diagramming your setup.

[@lifendeathchzlife5159]

You should send that beat to Method Man ASAP!!! GZA also! Those two!

[@Paddydacook]

would you recommend the model 12 for older mpc's like the 2500?

[@AFE948]

What type of productions are you working on?

[@Paddydacook]

@@AFE948 i do sample based boombap stuff

[@AFE948]

In live performances, the MPC shines-it's fantastic for capturing the energy of a live session. As for studio productions, it's definitely feasible, but it depends on your proficiency with the 10-input mixer. If you're accustomed to the old-school method of bouncing tracks, mixing, and bouncing again to conserve tracks, you can make it work. However, keep in mind that the compression capabilities are somewhat limited, and the EQ options for high, mid, and low frequencies aren't top-tier. With careful planning and foresight in your mixing process, though, you can still achieve solid results with a bit of extra effort.

[@Paddydacook]

@@AFE948 i just like to make beats with older gear more! just need a way to trackout to daw and mix my beats. for now i resample my beats from the 2500 to my mpc one and then convert the beat to wave so i can export it to my daw. kinda weird but it works hahhah. but mixing inside mpc 2500 isn't fun tbh and kinda difficult too. eq sucks... please don't judge me😄 i'm a rookieproducer

[@Paddydacook]

@@AFE948 and thank you for your answer

[@CRV1958]

It will only link up with Class Compliant interfaces that are running at 44.1 HZ Sample Rate. Otherwise your out of luck. Happened to me.

[@iamvolts13]

i see you got the aiaiai wireless headphones how did you set up the headphones to it?

[@malobeats]

They are great headphones I just put the adapter to whatever output I want to monitor and turn on my headphones and they sync up very fast. I don’t notice the latency if there is any.

[@iamvolts13]

@malobeats yeah model 12 is a big learning curve lol can't seem to get the headphones to transmitters to pickup the headphones

[@fonsvanloenhout6620]

does this also work with other mixing tables?

[@AFE948]

Most mixing tables yes, it all depends on specifications.

[@Lightbeam015]

Appreciate Tha Video Malo B!

You need to make a best with Thoes Drums. They’re 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
