MPC X Standalone - Guitar Recording With Audio Tracks

[@jarrodjob]

You add a ton of value my guy. Respect. Perfect blend of tactics and tutorial. Not preaching.

[@MatthewStratton]

Appreciate it. Thanks for checking out the video.

[@michaelgrant5312]

This is beautiful guitar and drums in the mpc, watching from jamaica

[@christopherhammell9904]

The videos are great. I ended up getting an MPC One after watching you do essentially the kinds of things I wanted to do! Thanks so much. Keep up the excellent work.

[@RawwestHide]

Thats wassup. I have the X and im looking to pick up guitar again soon. Thx for this

[@kwaping]

Nice playing, this is very inspiring and educational for me as a former guitarist getting into electronic production with my X and some synths.

[@MatthewStratton]

Good to hear. The X is rather good for making music. Thanks for watching.

[@funguy29]

Cool. Good job

[@herontotem1065]

Direct monitor is really missing on the Mpc Live (because of latency), personally I’m using a mixing desk with effects send (going to the Mpc) for my guitars/synths/mics... Another cool tip, when more of 8 tracks is needed, is to transform these tracks in programs, so the 8 audio tracks can be used again!

[@gagealbright]

what do you mean direct monitor is missing? you are able to listen to what is already recorded when you record your new track, right?

[@spip72]

When recording instruments with a long tail (ie. a long reverb), did anyone figure out how to have the audio track longer than the sequence, so the tail is allowed to finish into the next sequence?

[@eg8lst]

I appreciate your videos brother!

[@KingTubby-rj1bn]

Hi Matthew , great channel , Q. Would I be able to connect my Technics 1200 mk2 straight into the MPC X or does the turntable have to have a built in pre amp to be able to do this ? Thanks

[@Hastur.in.yellow]

Hey! Love your work. What do you think about upgrading from mpc one to mpc x? Is it worth it? Thanks in advance :)

[@HobbyFinn2]

I need your opinion. I am a guitar player, singer, drummer. A have logic pro all set up with a 24ch mixex/interface. I would like to have something quicker and more tactile. I got the force, but the state of the software is just not there yet. A lot of small annoying stuff. I will return it. mpc one or live be more usable for me? The X is too large and expensive.

[@HobbyFinn2]

@Paskel Berry I got the Force but in my opinion the software is not ready yet so I ended up returning it. I may get it again once they get the software and workflow ready. It is a completely new instrument in a way.

[@osibrathwaite2146]

Awesome video bro. Can you change the bpm with the drums at the same time or do you need to timestretch the Audio track separately to sync with the drums?

[@roccothamanoidis]

You can change it alltogether with the built in warp function. Doing it right now. There also some ease of life ways to record tracks with less work.

[@osibrathwaite2146]

@@roccothamanoidis Thanks Bro!!

[@JoshuaMLove]

...AAAAAANND SUBSCRIBED. Thanks a ton man.

[@artisticmemoirsoffieldherp7767]

I have an MPC X . I’m trying to figure out what the sample rate (kHz) for the 24 bit depth. I’ve googled that it’s 44.1 kHz in standalone, but I would feel a lot more comfortable if I could view that within the MPC to confirm that that’s true. I’ve only found a window where I can change from 16 bit to 24 bit, and no kHz information is displayed. In controller mode, you’re supposed to have multiple options for the kHz settings. I can only (my preference) record audio in standalone. So I need to make sure the kHz setting for my guitar is correctly matched to the mpcx. Basically, I’m just trying to figure out how I can get into the MPC X, and see those options for myself before recording. Where can I see it displayed? I’m really only looking for confirmation that I’m doing it correctly. Any info is appreciated!

[@stanwilliams7871]

The way you have your acoustic guitar connected to the mpc can you use the guitar as a midi controller for other sounds in the mpc?

[@JAdeWii_]

No, because it audio, not MIDI. There is such a thing as a MIDI guitar though!

[@MrThematrix1]

Matthew I really enjoyed your video. I would humbly request that for you future videos , if you could just slow it down a bit. Between your editing and hands and fingers moving so fast over the screen, it makes it difficult to keep up with you. But other than that, great video !

[@MatthewStratton]

Thanks for the tip!

[@ranmoc]

Can u ad live FXs on the guitars ?

[@donaldmcnair1512]

Hey Matthew. I noticed that you switched from the live to the X. One thing I’ve been considering is if the X has a noticeable increase in input sound quality. In the specs, it shows a slight increase, but coming from the live have you noticed this as noticeable to the ears??

[@MatthewStratton]

I'm not really sure if they MPC X gives a massive improvement on the inputs. I haven't really officially tested it. It does give you an instrument and mic inputs in addition to the line and turntable inputs so it has that going for it.

[@donaldmcnair1512]

@@MatthewStratton ok thanks, I appreciate the reply.

[@tonic_1]

awesome, most def considering the MPC X to go next to the force, what do you reckon?

[@MatthewStratton]

If you are doing a ton of sampling, I would say go for the MPC X for sure. The Force can do a lot of what the MPC X can do, but for sampling, the MPC X does it better.

[@bjamminsincebirth3494]

Matthew Stratton Is the Force better for sequencing songs?

[@oO5Dynasty]

Respect Brother!

[@musicbythebrain]

Can you record thru effects in real time, or do you have to add the effects later?

[@aliparman]

Add effects live.

[@GrandMasterBB]

on my mpc one . when i try to make a new audio track, its deleting the first one ? , can anybody help `?

[@F_letc.h]

Do you have any videos that show how to deal with pops/clicks that you hear when audio tracks loop around after recording instruments into them?

[@ric2play]

How many audio tracks can you add?

[@MrBinsique]

Hello, is there a lot of good acoustics logiciel instruments because I am not an electronic musician. But I would like to quit the softwares that are not stable...

[@THEKINGOCAESAR]

Dope bro

[@MatthewStratton]

Thanks 💯

[@mr.zeitmaschine6878]

How would you quantize your music is you keep layering? Thanks

[@bluezjourneymuzic2302]

GOOD INFO

[@MatthewStratton]

Thanks

[@adamjohnedwards]

Help why do my guitar recordings always record over (delete) any beat i made?

[@hardkore360]

Sounds like you are recording over the sequence or track you just recorded, make separate tracks as shown on this video and you should be ok

[@shalinashaveen3498]

I hit the 100th like 👍💯

[@MatthewStratton]

My friend! 👊
