- In this video I break down the best cables for making beats. I've used the SP404sx as an example but this should be the same for all the SP devices as they all have phono inputs and outputs.
If you have any questions or comments let me know.
Here are links to the cables:
Standard phono

USA - amzn.to/3bkLmOi
1/4 Jack to phono
UK - amzn.to/2ETYPQO
USA - amzn.to/2EWeMWA
3.5mm jack to phono
UK - amzn.to/3bgOdHI
USA - amzn.to/2Dk1tz1

Very very good tutorial bro! Need more like these because it's the simple videos like these that help you along the way!🙏🏾✊🏾
Cool man thanks for the feedback. I'll try and thing of some more like this :)
@@spvidz is it viable to connect my arturia midi controller to my computer to use fl studio and then only use audio cables from the arturia to the sp404? just one phono cable?
This is 100% the video I needed to see ! lol use this for ref when I need it ! Thank you brother !
Glad to help! 🙌
Mad love for the vidz man!👌🏽👌🏽🙏🏽 maybe in the next set of videos, you example how we could integrate the sp 404 as an effect mod in the DAW (preferably Ableton.) Again, lots of respect and lots of love friend!
Thanks man. That’s one I’ve had on the list for a while. Will get round to uploading it soon!
Thanks man very informative 🙏
Glad to hear it, thanks for watching!
really useful !
Glad to hear that buddy! Thanks for watching
Nice video 💪
Thanks a lot man!
Thanks for dis video💯
🙌
What’s the first beat in the background???
Think its just one I had lying around on my computer :)
@@spvidz post it ! I really wanna listen to it, or even purchase if thats even possible I really love that track
Behringer U-Control UCA222 USB RCA Connector Audio Interface is cheap in it works good
Thx🙏
Thank you for the detailed tutorial. Can you make a video about how to get sound from recorder into the sp404sx? Thank you!
What recorder are you referring to? there shouldn't really be much too it. On my H5 recorder you just get the wav file off the SD card
Real helpful. Thanks. Could you maybe do one on recording ans and syncing video with tascam audio etc?
Nice one man - cool yeah I can that, thanks for the suggestion!
Thans for this video, really helpful. I was wondering: how do you set up for live performance, connecting it to the venue mixer? Do you use DI for a balanced sound?
I've only done it a couple of times and there was always an engineer there to help but basically a phono to phono or phono to double jack cable would be useful to take along with you. I went into a mixer a couple of times and the other time I had no idea - engineer sorted it for me!
@@spvidz Thanks for your answer!
If you plug a record player into the sp, then plug the sp into a speaker , will you be able to play the record player , as if it was directly in the speaker ... Sorry for the dumb question 😰
So long as the record player doesn't need amplification yes. You just need to make sure EXT SOURCE is lit and it should work fine. You can play around with FX while its playing too!
There was some talk about a discord in the comments of the last video, I would he glad to make it for you!
Thanks man - not to worry I've got it set up and will be announcing it soon!
Ok awsome!
What brand is that 1/4" to RCA cable you have? Neither of the links are the ones in the video and I can't find them anywhere online but I really dig the look of them!
Yo man are these what you're looking for? amzn.to/3wFwFz2
@@spvidz sorry actually I was looking for the second one - the one that you used to record from your SP to interface :)
Wouldn't say the brand is too important but this will do the job. Can't remember where I got mine from! amzn.to/3xqhAkI
Do you need two 1/4 jacks what if you interface dont have that
got a video coming out in about an hour about interfaces which may be useful. You can get adapters to turn two inputs into one but I prefer to use both
@@spvidz yesssirrr perfect
ace! what would you recommend i set my input and output gain on the sp 404. trying to avoid clipping and noise... also is it a good idea to gain stage samples in logic to -18 or so before i load them into the sp so ive got more headroom to mix/clean sound?
No idea with that one really man. I’d say get the highest signal you can without clipping then you can adjust in your DAW if needs be?
Hey man great video as I’m getting closer to buying an sp-404, I had a quick question so could I use the 3.5 mm to phono to both record samples from my phone into the 404 and then record from the 404 into my laptop with the 3.5 to phono?
Hey man not sure of the sound quality of those inputs on a laptop. You would need to make sure its aux as well, an audio interface is your best bet, or a cheaper alternative is something like this amzn.to/3mt4U8h
spvidz yes I was having the same concern, my second thought was to buy a portable recorder like a zoom h4n , thanks for answering my question!
Yup that could work too man. I used my H5 for a long time and it’s cool for gathering random noises on the move as well with the built in mics
hey joel lmk if using a phono to 3,5 worked for both recording in samples and recording out sp to my pc , i ordered my sp yesterday and i’m gathering all the cables and seeing if i really need a audio interface
Can you connect the SP to like a fx pedal? If so how plz
Yes, you just need the right cables, e.g a twin 1/4" jack to go in the outputs of the SP and a single 1/4" jack for the input of the pedal. Something like this - amzn.to/4dbnvP8
Hey man, I just got my sp but I dont have a audio interface, can I maje beats just using the rca mini plug cable?
Hey man yeah you should be able to run that out of a headphone socket but not sure on the sound quality, best way to find out is give it a try! I recommend getting hold of an RCA cable if your interface has phono out on the back. They are pretty cheap and I use mine daily!
@@spvidz thank you very much!
No problem man. Happy beat making and welcome to the SP gang 👌
Strange occurence but my rca cables seem to be very loose when i plug them into my sp-404SX. They just keep falling out and don't make that "click" like other cables when i insert them. I would hate to just by another pair, but they look just like the ones shown in this video: an rca to quarter inch cable.
They vary depending on manufacturer - and no they are not the kind of cables that clip in just so you know, they just slide on. I have some that are a good fit and some that are super tight. The tight ones are not good. They feel like I'm going to do damage when I pull them off.
@@spvidz thank you so much, what kind would consider a good brand?
I'm not sure what brand any of mine are sorry. They are unmarked and I've had them for years. I find the ones with these kinds of ends are the best - amzn.to/3QKzmIN
These are the ones that I DONT like as sometimes they can be really tight - amzn.to/3UitQAj
Does the phono to 1/4 jack get ride of the buzz sound?
Not necessarily. Hum and buzzing can be generated through all sorts of things like bad grounding in your house/sockets There are options in your utilities to reduce it have a look in there. I think it’s in the ‘gain’ tab
Would you recommend the UMC204HD as my first audio interface?
Dont see why not, it ticks all the boxes for me!
@@spvidz What about Behringer UM2 as a first audio interface?
Could you do a double phono to single jack into your interface? I see some on amazon that are like that.
Not sure how stereo works with a single input - I imagine you could try and get a phono to stereo single jack cable then maybe it gives you the full stereo signal!
