    Big props bro for all you're doing. Definitely appreciated, especially with the lack of content for the AKAI Software. Would love to see a follow up video (maybe an advanced version) talking about how to properly use all the routing options in the AKAI software. How to use things like the Submixes, Returns, Midi Sends, ect? I'm new to producing and mixing but I'm loving the journey so far. So thanks for the help my guy 🙌

    For gain staging in the daw I usually go into program edit and adjust the level of each pad instead of messing with the faders!

    Sounds like the right way to do it. Your method was used by analoge faders who were exponential, so the lower u go the less accurate u could adjust. I checked and looks like the fader of the mpc beats are exponential too. Only with less curve, So using faders is less punishing. I orded a mpc live II, and looking into the OS now. I wondered, can u use the standard effects and plugins in standalone? ( I saw myself using serum on a bench in the park. But after some research it appears it was just a dream. )

    I’m loving this DAW so far been learning new stuff everyday from your vids and streams. When ever you make another mixing video can you show how you set up sidechains for the kick and 808? I know you could automate the volume of the 808 to duck when the kick hits but I just want to know if there’s an easier way like using the fruity limiter in FL

    Go to the settings in the top left corner. You'll find something that says "bounce to audio sample." When you do that, it'll convert that sequence with all the effects into your "samples". Make sure you know where you save your sample, then add it to your drums track and put it on there just like any hi-hat or kick. May have to adjust the sound some after you convert it. Hope that helps 🙏
