Same here, there are lots of MPC tutorials, but the effort you put in yours just shows: it's clear, well thought and the image quality isn't blurry/dark. I have my MPC on a table with a MIDI keyboard and my iPad above the whole setting to watch your tutorials and put them in action on the spot. You're a good teacher. And your music is pretty good which doesn't hurt either.

Was on the fence about getting one of these. It sounds dope on drums & samples!💯

Dude thank you for this i have been wondering about this exsct product! I had just bought the UA Max compressor pedal and i saw this after and thought "shit" i could use more inputs on my computer. But this is even better i can use this on my mpc one and eventually get that tascam 12 for the PC

That BEAT tho!!!! Good video learned a lot!!

Worth mentioning that using the usb interface mode you have disabled all analogue inputs and outputs on the MPC. You are monitoring from the Volt, not the MPC.

Hello Malo! I recently signed up for your sample sharing program and I've been watching all your videos ever since. Your teachings help me a lot to progress, your positive energy and your passion for these machines and beatmaking motivates me to always learn a little more and practice more. So a big thank’s to you Malo I hope you are enjoying your new studio! P.S. The UAD Volt doesn't have a mono button? What is its function ? I am currently looking for an audio interface to extend my setup and play with a few guitar pedals and this volt interests me a lot so thank you for your feedback would you have any other models to recommend and a first pedal to try?

Akai should've given you an SE, their loss

That’s facts

Speaking of the panning problem of the single channels. Someone might mentioned this down in the comments or you figured it in the meantime... but you have the "mono" button on the 476P which kills the panning of the single channels. Not ideal that the mono button goes for all or no channels but for some situations its cool to have it. Having the Volt 476p too, any of that its an awseome interface 👍. Thanks for your work here, im always enjoying your tutorials.

Another excellent video. Great product review MALO. Sounds really good. 🫡🎧☀️

Im thinking about the 276, this sounds nice. You can convert the sample to mono after recorded. You get to choose sum, left, or right. Not really what your looking but that might be as good as it gets. Great Video as always. God Bless! ✌

WOW!!! ok question time.... when you export the beat.. do you print ? in order to get the 476 sound? and if you do print ..what interface do you use to receive the audio from the mpc to ?

Malo je really need a mixing desk from 80s or early 90s. They are going up now but i got my Mackie cr1604 for 50€ and it really makes difference if you want to colour your signal. Its especially good for house but hip hop also. You have pedals now and you can hook them up via send its so much fun to twist knobs and mix that way its crazy good and i know you would love it. And you can also hear it after you push it and go in to red/clipping its instant 90s sound

Do you still get the full wet signal from the pedals? With focusrite 4i4 the software doesn’t allow this.

For those of you who don't see a connection, it's audio over USB ... if you look close, you can see the USB is connected. I didn't see it at first and was mystified... LOL ...

@malobeats

Жыл бұрын

Thank you. I’ve done some research myself, but wasn’t able to find anything. If you hear anything back, let us know.

Where do I run my monitors to hear it?

I went with an RME Babyface Pro and it's been amazing and yes you can mono each channel. It doesn't have a 1-button compressor tho. One limitation i've found with the MPC is that although you can run mono channels using the L/R on the Main Outputs, if you put an insert plugin into that linked output (say 1/2) it automatically links the output to stereo regardless of what you have the interface set at.

Isn’t the stereo/mono input based on whether you’re using balanced or unbalanced TRS/TS cables?

@dirckcopeland9154

5 ай бұрын

Yes, but balanced or unbalanced has to do with the signal, whether it is a line input (balanced - TRS) or an instrument (unblanaced -TS), if the stereo signal is split before the output, then you can use a TS cable to carry left or right of the stereo to separate 1/4 jacks.

how about uafx max

Are you using mono trs cords? Idk if that would make a difference, but curious. Maybe it could?

How is that mono, u talk of work?

Yes, but... Using an external interface disables the MPC's onboard I.O. So, by hooking up this interface, you actually lose 2 outputs, but gain an extra pair of inputs. You seem to have your reasons, but this is basically a lateral move. Anyway, I just thought this was worth mentioning for the sake of others. Cheers!

@malobeats

Жыл бұрын

You’re absolutely correct and I should have mentioned this, the benefit that I get from this set up is having those extra parameters when it comes down to Sound design like the compressor and vintage mode being able to slam your signal right back in. Eventually, I want to try out an actual small digital consul to really expand the audio, but this small set up in this video really works for the onboard compressors that the interface carries. I really appreciate you taking the time and sharing this input with us though since it’s very helpful.

Maybe it's set up stereo because you're using it with the MPC . With any daw you use you can set the inputs as stereo and/or mono. Maybe check your input selection within the MPC.
