USB Mixer MPC 2.10 Standalone Workflow

[@djrek521]

By far the usb track out is my favorite this is so helpful with my Tascam 24

[@PoliPopo]

The Tascam looks 💯

[@alexdawson7851]

Great videos this week Poli, keep them coming mate.

[@PoliPopo]

Thank you 🙏

[@FatherDave]

Thanks Poli.

[@PoliPopo]

Yussir thank you 🙏

[@audiumsoundwaves]

I was waiting for this video! Thanks man!

[@PoliPopo]

Yussir thank you for watching 💯

[@tom22333]

Appreciate you Poli Popo! As someone who started with a daw, I love mixing with knobs and faders! It's a little getting used to though not being able to save all my settings and go back to them.

[@PoliPopo]

Always something to learn for sure, thank you for watching 💯

[@7vinylsuite]

Wow dude. This was SO helpful, the 2.10 made me snatch up a MPC because I'm now able to use a Focusrite Clarett and Eventide H9000 (that unit is nuclear) as audio interfaces to record into it. This video helped me understand recording workflows in the MPC so much better (especially the point about assigning the empty input channel to resampling). You have a great explanation style. Peace.

[@PoliPopo]

Thank you 🙏

[@StCyp]

Made me snatch a Tascam model 12 the day after his last video. Awesome stuff!

[@PoliPopo]

@@StCyp awesome 💯

[@pRoblemTv]

So how exactly would you use the clarett and mpc together ? I’m a little confused how you explained it. Would they be hooked up together using usb? Or would you plug hardware into the clarett and record it into the mpc?

[@7vinylsuite]

@@pRoblemTv The H9000 is an effects processor (up to 16 fx algorithms at same time) that can also be a 16 in/out USB audio interface. So I connect the H9000 via USB to the MPC One for use of its inputs, quality converters and FX. The only issue it has is it doesn't have monitor controls. So my Clarett has 8 analog inputs and 8 digital via ADAT- and also has great converters- When connecting the H9000 & Clarett via analog/digital audio cables- I can hear and isolate everything. Everything I do on the MPC can be recorded & heard with the Eventide FX- without touching the MPC's CPU for FX. It's similar to using any hardware plugin but on a standalone device instead of a DAW. I love this set up! Alternatively, I could also plug the Clarett to the MPC via USB if I don't want the FX. Hope that helps to give you an idea of how it works.

Thank you for making this video!

Yussir 💯 thank you 🙏

[@lallo4life]

Poli for the win!

[@keysthomas1966]

Well done, Sir I have a Zoom L8... Now I gotta see what she got before I spring for that Model 12 Thanks, Cuzzin!!

[@PoliPopo]

Thank you 🙏 and the zoom looks 💯

[@That125Kid]

As always bro good info 👍👍

[@jmarvosa6x3]

Aw Yeah. Big Up!

[@PoliPopo]

Thank you 🙏

[@seansley]

Another well delivered one. Where can we find those plugin background templates? pz

[@PoliPopo]

I made mine but I can definitely make some up for you soon as I get back in town [e-mail]

[@seansley]

@@PoliPopo cool man, thanks. Maybe I missed another video on how-to or the template somewhere. Safe travels, peace from Goa

[@trasmoov6289]

Can you do the same thing with the Akai force

[@That125Kid]

So you route outside of your audio interface?

[@Βράχμα-ε6γ]

is it somehow possible to connect a normal Mixer with the MPC Renaissance?

[@samueltrujillo2378]

im having trouble connecting my yamaha mixer to my mpc live any suggestions?

[@Gregory0978]

Can you please inform where to output from, if using a tascam model 16

[@TeleporterM11]

Hi Poli. Today I was shopping for a mixer and discovered they are all sold out. Just how many Mpc s are there out there that run 💣update 2.10 ???

[@PoliPopo]

It’s crazy but yeah definitely hard to get ahold of a good mixer. Always appreciate you watching 💯

[@jonathansoko1085]

For someone like me that's been making beats for 25 years of my 34 years on earth. My least experience is with mixing and mixers I tended to just let other people do that part. Now I've got a USB mixer here it's not an expensive one but should I be connecting my monitor speakers to the XLR out or should I be using the control room out on my mixer? I always just like thr making music part, i always hated midi and mixing but now im trying to be more involved, i confuse myself 🤣

[@jonathansoko1085]

My only real goal is to have it set up so I can easily sample my records, or from my phone, and possibly record a vocal track without having to change my cables. My entire life I would just go straight from the turntable to my MPC and have my speakers connected and then just do it that way and I always have someone else track it out and mix it, out of sight out of mind

[@chanevision1]

Hey what about plugging up external drum machines like a emu sp1200 into a usb mixer and transferring the 8 outputs simultaneously in the mpc. Is that possible? I’m seeing mix information about it and don’t wanna make a blank purchase with a usb mixer

[@That125Kid]

Ok what if you're using an analog mixer instead of a USB mixer like the ssl six which is what I have?

[@PoliPopo]

Ssl looks sick I would have to go outs of the x into the six Back into the x as an Audio track 💯

[@AutisticCuriosity]

Went to the music shop today to buy MPC Live 2 I asked the manager - could there be an upgrade to this? He advised me to wait till September to buy as that’s when companies bring out there new gear. What do you think, worth waiting?

[@mattgwiltmusic]

Hi mate, if I want to use my mpc and Behringer Xenyx usb mixer in a live situation, will the mpc remember and save the interface output settings for each song? Or do I have to route each time? Btw I haven’t bought the mixer yet

[@PoliPopo]

Yussir the setting can be saved per song 💯

[@sylegg]

Great video as always. I have an soundcraft mtk22 mixer just like yours. I downloaded the update today to try it out as the audio interface. Everything worked but when I try and record back into the mpc I’m getting pops and crackle. When I tried it just using the internal audio from the mpc it was fine. Did you get any issues with it ? I bought a pretty good usb cable as I heard that might be the issue but doesn’t seem to have fixed the problem. Any ideas ?

[@urbannpa]

I found an MPC Touch in a pawn shop (was a NI Mashine user) and wanted to try it. When sampling Into it I got crackling and static, I found I had to change the sample rate depending on the sample source.

[@rufusjackson4836]

@Poli Popo Peace bro. Have you ran across any bugs in 2.10. Whenever I load up a expansion pack my MPC X says your MPC X has recovered from an internal error then shut off and reboot and what I'm working is gone and I expansion packs disappears

[@striknine570]

Nice video, still confused the about the hype of USB mixers. Never needed one myself doe to exporting tracks out of MPC and into my Protools.

[@PoliPopo]

Word but I do all mine in standalone so I don’t have to export anymore 💯 both ways work 💯

[@pRoblemTv]

I think it’s a better work flow because you no longer have to record each track one at a time and don’t have to fine edit the wav files. Sometimes you lose the groove, it’s just way faster now

[@pRoblemTv]

Coming in clutch 💪🏼 Are you plugging your hardware synths to the mpc via usb hub and then just routing the outs to your mixer? And then if you wanted you could just dump those stems to any daw right? Also if that’s true could you also plug the mixer into let’s say an Apollo interface and then record in to as well?

[@andyboy2956]

Bro can u upload the syths files as I can't download them from akai driving me crazy. the part I need to put on as card for my standalone mpc x

[@ArtsyBlackGuy]

How would I sum the audio back to the 8 audio track akai was spittin about? I tried it with my tascam model 16 and only get dead air when the sounds are routed from the MPC

[@PoliPopo]

I have groups on my mixer so I go out of the groups into another channel. Hit sampler on the Mpc and select the new channels your groups are going into. If you don’t have groups you can always headphone jack out into the Mpc. I’ll definitely give it a look for sure

[@chanevision1]

I have a thunderbolt Apollo twin x, could I use it as a interface to record into the mpc? Or do I need a usb interface?

[@PoliPopo]

Dang that would be sweet but the Mpc has no thunderbolt support or option for standalone.

[@InterplainMusic]

I have a Soundcraft MTK 22 will this work with MPC One, its Fully USB Compliant mixer. Which plug cable do I use? USB printer cable?

[@PoliPopo]

Yussir plug usb into your Mpc and 💯

[@Lofasho_official]

Poli I really want to be completely stand alone and I can’t afford a mixer I really want my songs to sound very good just using the mpc but I’m at a cross now that I’m starting to figure out mixing and mastering I finish my track and export it but it sounds very silent especially the vocals

[@PoliPopo]

I’m definitely going to make a video about mixing in mastering just go to your EQ effects and add parametric EQ to your vocals it’ll help a lot And a maxamizer

[@Madmohawkfilms]

Thanks man! Wondering how well a USB Control Surface like the Behringer X-Touch would work to control MPC’s Mixer too. Yes my mind goes to all kindsa crazy places

[@PoliPopo]

Most definitely 💯

[@PlatinumPlusProductionsTV]

I tried to hook it up to it and there was no luck maybe there's something I'm missing, maybe we can help each other out with that I have the same thing you got

[@PoliPopo]

@@PlatinumPlusProductionsTV I just plug the USB from the mixer into my MPC and then under Audio settings In your MPC he would select the sound craft mixer Are use groups one and two to go back into my MPC so I can monitor what I’m hearing on the playback

[@claudiongleur]

How is the latency with ext. Mixer?

[@PoliPopo]

All up to the computer but when I use it for software it’s pretty spot on

[@claudiongleur]

@@PoliPopo the computer? i meant when connecting a usb interface to the mpc.

[@PoliPopo]

@@claudiongleur oh lol my bad I haven’t really pushed it but 0 latency so far so good

[@leoopokat8235]

a like from me since I only use the software can't you change skin in desktop
