You’ve earned yourself a new subscriber! This is exactly what I was looking for! Will try it out as it’s quite complex to wrap my head around this! Would you be available for any further questions? 🙏🏻
Great Video! Thanks for this! I always wondered how to do this. Quick questions: 1. When you’re switching your sounds in the VsT, can you use the same midi channel or do you just change the sound and then record into the MPC to build your track?? 2. From your experience, when you use this method of using VSTs as your sound module, How many audio tracks can you record into the MPC before the standalone states that system memory is low? What’s an advisable set of tracks can you record audio into the MPC? Have you recorded at least 6 audio tracks with no issue? 3. Lastly, do you have to do the same Midi preferences set up for every VST that you use as a sound module in this method you showed in this video? If I used VsTs within a DAW, can I set up the daw via midi and then use the daw VSTs as a sound module? Any information would be appreciated. Thanks again for this video
1. I record the Midi/ Audio into the MPC and build the track that way, only because I know I would have to record it into the MPC anyway. 2. You can record 8 full audio total tracks, but you can record as many as the MPC can handle. The audio tracks basically become samples that you can trigger via midi. 3.In regards to VTS’s being used in standalone mode yes, just change the audio midi settings to the midi interface you use. Using the MPC with a DAW, I’ve always used the MPC in controller mode as a Plugin. It is easier to control both together that way.
Now that the MPC Live can send and receive midi over the USB ports, can you just hook up a USB on MPC Live directly to a computer? Im wanting to control Massive from standalone , I hate the MPC software on the computer.
Great Question! Yes you can, create a Midi Track, then change the Midi Port to Remote on the MPC. Most importantly turn on your WIFI and Make sure you have Akai MIDI Network as the Active Midi Input on your VST (Massive). Then you should be good to go.
Yo I got the original Triton Keyboard and Motif Rack! Man the sound so good together in the studio! I ain’t mad at the VST software tho!!! Great video!!!!!
Great video, I do have a question. Say you were going the SSL route. Would you be able to control with the MPC, MIDI devices that are connected to the same PC via USB?
I get clicks at the beginning of my looptrack. Like its recording the midi to audio to fast.. does this have something to do with the reverb tail at the end of the loop.. i got record 5 bars instead of 4 and then cut it to 4 bars.. but the start points sometimes stay clicky or loud. Even if my midi track is good..
Thanks for the vid! What would you recommend in the other direction where I wanna record (on the computer) as I’m muting tracks and tweaking effects on the MPC while the sequence it playing? I’d be using a recording application like Sound Studio for Mac.
Awesome video mate very well explained. If you play live do you take your computer with you and use it as a module or do you just sample your riffs in to the mpc and fire it off with a pad. I have been using this method for a while but when playing live it leaves you with not much to do. I’m still getting my head around the mpc. But would like some ideas on playing live without just pressing play. Lol I can’t finger drum so that’s a no go.
Bro their is one thing I need help with: I see how to connect everything but if i want to play those sounds from my midi keyboard into the MPC it does not register.
Great video, already doing this since the mpc x q-links goes crazy when you are in controller mode, this is best of both worlds, also take in mind that with this setup is really straight forward to create multisamples and keep some favourite sounds as keygroups and use them fully standalone
Are the midi wires necessary? I seen some go over to audio and was able to record sounds from the Daw he had open.. he never mentioned using midi cables however..
First off, thank you for posting this. Much appreciated. Now I have a question: Can this same method be utilized with an MPC 4000? I’m trying to use the sounds in Native Instruments Komplete 13 with an MPC 4k. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again.
@@WeFullTime Thank you for the prompt reply. I subbed to your channel cause I appreciate your willingness to help those of us who need it. I’m gonna try this a little later today. I hope you get up to 5k subs soon. 👌🏽
Just write where you want your inputs to come out on your MPCX and you don't have to use the sample but using the sample as great because you can save your samples as VST
I wouldn't turn the output all the way up like you did. If it is clipping on the way out, turning it down on the MPC won't help, you will still be recording a distorted signal. Otherwise good video.
This was a good vid but this takes away from creativity, so Every vst I open up I gotta make sure the midi is set up properly. I think Akai should make mpc live be acceptable to vst
How would that work? I’m using the outputs from SSL connected to the computer, to record into the MPC. Honesty I could just stay in controller mode but it sucks..
hey there... i also am using the mpc one plus but can not seem to record the midi as audio. Once I play and record omnisphere sound into MPC One, I cant get the midi to record as audio! What step am I missing? Do you mind telling me how you do it? This is driving me insane! lol
Thanks for your response. This is what I'm trying to do. I have an 8i6 Scarlett interface that I use. May I ask you your process for recording into the MPC?
@@hubertgibbs2036 I have the MPC connected to my mixer/usb interface, I’m also running audio into that via an another audio interface connected to the pc. So, everything going into the mixer/interface (Behringer USB1204) is heard by the MPC ONE+
0:38 That thing has been a LIFESAVER for me! One of the most valuable pieces of gear I’ve ever purchased. 😄💯
That thing has so many possibilities. I've had it for years and barely recognizing what I could have really done with it.
This is actually the method I used with my 2000xl! Good to see you actually know how to use a MPC 🤣! Great video! 👍🏾
the video everyone was expecting from akai. thank you bro!
Bro, you changue my life. Thanks so much.

Very detailed and exactly what I needed to know. Thank you!
This is so helpful. You helped me out. Im a kinda producer. Who likes to open a lot off presets. Untill i get inspired!
Bro, you earned a Sub with this one.
Good looking out fam dope vid salute
Really helpful. Love your style mate.
Awesome video! Thank you so much. I'm trying to find those MIDI in/output cables. Where can I grab them?
I got mine from a guitar center.
Could you please explain how to do this hookup using the MPC KEY 61 sir... Thank you
Yo I got the original Triton Keyboard and Motif Rack! Man the sound so good together in the studio! I ain’t mad at the VST software tho!!! Great video!!!!!
Got a live coming in definitely using this 💯
Great video, I do have a question. Say you were going the SSL route. Would you be able to control with the MPC, MIDI devices that are connected to the same PC via USB?
Did you hook up the SSL to your computer? Seems like I missed something.
Bro super awesome video liked and subbed
Life saver bro! I’ve been looking how to do this for ages! What if you want to use a midi keyboard where would you connect it?
You can plug into the MPC or you can plug it into the computer. It depends on what you want controlling the VST.
I have a ssl 2 plus. I’m thinking about getting my mpc x molded by black lion. Is black lion just as good or better sound wise than the ssl +?
Great stuff. I think u just need a usb to computer cable and use remote midi and you get the same results
But you dont connect it to your audio interface then, but directly to computer?

I usually just use Keygroups or plugins while playing live and also using clips on the MPC is great alternative while playing Live.
@@WeFullTime cool I guess I just need to learn how to play now.
Great video! Thanks very much.
thx man 👍
could you use ableton link in place of the midi connection?
This is sick
What’s the difference with what you did and mpc expansion packs. I’m still new to this. I want to download a vst the Korg piano. But it’s confusing
Thanks my man I purchase this freegame
🏆👍🏾🙌🏾
Was the midi necessary? If so why? Thanks, great video.
yes the midi is necessary to communicate with JV-1080.
I bought an midi usb but how to i connect it to garageband
Doing this works but the latency is horrible. I cant find a fix for the latency.
Bro their is one thing I need help with: I see how to connect everything but if i want to play those sounds from my midi keyboard into the MPC it does not register.
What is the answer?
Good job bruh
Good stuff bro..
Great vid my dude! Yo would this work with an ASR-10? I have an Audient ID14 MK1 interface. Appreciate you thanks
Yes.

No Problem

Yeah it should work, Kontakt, Reaktor, and Massive have standalone version's for their VST. Just record what you play into the 4000.

@@WeFullTime No problem, and thank you as well!
@@WeFullTime so he’ll able to rec the audio directly into the MP? I’m asking cause I just bought a 5k and I’m wondering..
🙌🏾❤️
Just write where you want your inputs to come out on your MPCX and you don't have to use the sample but using the sample as great because you can save your samples as VST
Zaytoven makes this process look so much simpler.
Great
Ummm no se, pienso que grabaría el audio en el pc y solo lo exportaria a la MPC como audio file. 😅
Never mine, you explained it when setting up the triton.
so why not just record the audio direct why do the intermediate step of the midi recording
It Syncs everything together, and I can use the MPC as a midi controller.
You right
I can't get sound from my Keyboard in my mpc x
Does this work with all daws?
I wouldn’t say all, but most if you can use instrument(vsts) tracks.
I wouldn't turn the output all the way up like you did. If it is clipping on the way out, turning it down on the MPC won't help, you will still be recording a distorted signal. Otherwise good video.
Master Gain level's are controlled with the plugin, that way it doesn't clip the converters for the interface.
This was a good vid but this takes away from creativity, so Every vst I open up I gotta make sure the midi is set up properly.
I think Akai should make mpc live be acceptable to vst
They are accessible in controller mode, this is just an alternative for external sound modules.
no disrespect, but wouldn't it be more fruitful to just record the audio directly from the SSL?
How would that work? I’m using the outputs from SSL connected to the computer, to record into the MPC. Honesty I could just stay in controller mode but it sucks..
You full time
You know you can just use auto sampler and just use the vst without the computer. Much easier than this method
Auto sampling slows me down. I would spend more time doing that than making music.
@@WeFullTime it’s kool you know both that’s awesome 😁👍🏽
Doing this with the MPC ONE!

@@hubertgibbs2036 I usually just record audio out of my pc into the mpc one via the sampler, if that helps.
