- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 23 ก.ค. 2024
- Welcome back! Decided to do a deeper look into setting up a hardware sequencer focused #MPC One setup. This video steps through setting up the project, to crafting some sounds, sequencing them, and then tracking it all into Ableton Live for archiving for later inspiration.

I have given up using the touch screen for naming things. I had a spare bluetooth keyboard that i now use for naming tracks. A bit much but now i can give tracks and projects etc, useful names 😅
Pp lol
This is what the MPC was in the beginning (MPC60) Midi Production Center. We used to midi everything in the studio to the MPC from keyboards to efx racks. Thanks for showing the MPC root of operation.
thats actually very insightful.
I've used several models over the years. Basically sequenced on every pre Renaissance model except for the 5000 and 500. Add the 1000 and 4000 for sampling. I used all other models in full capacity.
She has the perfect voice for Drum and Bass!
my first idea :D
I just coming back over and over again to listen to the idea #1, Meems has a really beautiful voice. ❤
Taking your ideas from basic sequences to a beautiful rough track is awesome and instructive. So many artists don’t demonstrate the complete process like this. Inspirational use of technology. Keep these videos coming!
Thank you for the kind words, Ken! Really glad you found the process interesting and informative. 🙏
This video is huge. Would love to see more external sequencing of the outboard gear. So many videos for the current MPC line are about in the box production and audio capture. I am interested in your workflow for incorporating internal MPC sounds, live sequence capturing, and live performance with external gear (i know you have done a bunch of this) specifically with a multi-song performance. Keep up the excellent work! You've helped my workflow considerably!
Thanks Justen, and thanks for the ideas for more vids 🍻 Really appreciate you taking the time to watch and give feedback 🙏
I have an MPC One arriving in a few days and got it specifically to be the centerpiece of my MIDI setup. This video was super helpful. I agree with everything this commenter said. Thanks and amazing tracks 🔥🔥🔥
One thing I forgot to mention is that the gear, after being plugged into my analog mixer, is sent to my MOTU interface from the direct outs of the mixing board. So what your hearing as I'm playing is the analog mix feed, but in the "Idea #1,2,3" you're hearing the direct outs recordings, mixed in Ableton. Hopefully that makes sense!
So, each equipment has a line out (stereo or mono) going to a channel on the Mackie Mixer. And each channel of the Mackie goes to an Input on the MOTU, and that's the interface connected to the computer and Ableton Live? So you record one track for each equipment on Live? Why not go directly to the MOTU? Because you are monitoring stuff (your headphone) through the Mackie? Another reason?
Yup, two reasons, 1) no latency monitoring from the Mackie board, which also gives me quick access to some fx sends if I need them (or EQ, gain adjustments), and also I can patch gear in and out really quickly from the board via inserts and a patch bay.
2nd reason is I don’t always like to have the computer on, so this setup allows us to write for days without the PC on (capture ideas to an iPhone for remembering stuff if needed) and then track into the Ableton when we’re ready.
Tefty & Meems this is super helpful. I’m also running several synths, including a Peak, into my MPC live through a Yamaha mixer. Mine is only stereo out, not capable of multi-track records so that’s a limitation, but I’ve been recording tracks into the MPC. I actually haven’t gotten as far as adding a DAW into the setup as a final editing stage, but maybe someday. I’m trying to force myself to work with the equipment I have now.
I have a TR8S as my drum machine and it’s really performance oriented, so I play patterns and then have been recording audio tracks into my MPC, I might try and integrate MIDI more, we’ll see.
This video is a huuuuge help regardless as I feel like I have a very similar setup and you are light years ahead of me in knowledge and skill, so please keep them coming! May I ask what MOTU interface you use?
Thanks Elliot! I'm using a MOTU 828es with an Apogee Rosetta 800 (we bought in mid 2000s) connected via ADATs.
What is the name and brand of the USB midi splitter? Was it just a standard usb hub?
I loved how you talked through the process of the setup, and then brought Meems in to do the vocal layovers.. Very interesting video, nice beats too..!!
You guys make the most beautiful music together. Amazing! Thanks for all the inspiration man!
Thank you Sawyer! 🙏❤️🙏
Love your compositions and Meems vocals really compliment each other ! brilliant thanks.
Thanks for watching 🙏
The new mpcs are the most powerful machines on the market. Not always the most fun, or intuitive, but what you can do with them at this price point is just awesome.
Fully agree!
The singing and musical performances were amazing! Loved it!
Thank you! ❤️
Thank you so much for the time and effort you put in to these awesome videos. I learn so much and am inspired to keep making music because of the love and joy you pour in to the work you both do 🙏🏼💕
Thanks for the kind words, Echo! 🙏❤️🙏
Just want to say I really like your style and personality coming through in your videos. You have reached that level of knowledge that makes you feel very approachable and accessible. Keep it up!
So much talent between the two of them, Absolutely Amazing!
❤️🙏❤️
This is EXACTLY the tutorial I was looking for. I also love sampling vinyl plus I wondered if my MPC Live 2 could work as a midi clock/controller as well. My days of struggle have finally ended. Thank you!
Dang! That performance was as unexpected as it was impressive. Have never seen such a thing in a review of music gear. Instant sub..!
Thank you thank you thank you, at least someone talking about MPC1 and hardware control. Kind regards Mick.
Wow this came out great!
each version just got better. one beat 3 different songs, I love it!
Hi Marcell, thanks for watching and listening! 🙏
@@TeftyMeems and learning! Thank you for your videos. I have the mpc one/digitakt (and a slew of other instruments) and your channel really helps me think differently when creating! Thank you!!
This is cool, thanks. I've been circling the MPC ONE for months, as I do RC505 with a JDXi, Deepmind 12, MODX7 and Novation Circuit, along with my lead and looped vocals. I didn't realize the MPC ONE really had this capability and it opens up a whole new realm for me to think about. Great stuff, thanks and you both sound great too. Peace.
Hi Michael, thanks for watching and commenting. Really appreciate it 🙏
Yo, I learned a lot in this video and I'm only half way through so far. Sequencing with the MPC brain seems to be the way forward for me. It's been a long time coming. Thanks for such an informational video!
Your set up is organized and efficient! I need to re evaluate my set up to improve the workflow. Great video!
Haha thanks Marcus! At any given time it can be a chaotic mess 🤣 It goes through phases of experiments.
Very inspirational, after watching this I got up and went in the lab! The chemistry you two have is great, keep it up!
That’s actually amazing to hear! One of our main goals of the channel is to inspire people to create more. Thanks for watching 🙏
This is Dope. From beginning to ending 🔥🎶♥️
Sick dude. Your channel is great and I know by sharing what you’re doing you’re helping a ton of people.
Not only was this a great product showcase, idea 3 was fkn lit (all of them were but that one really vibes with me), you guys really make it look so effortless. I'm now a legit fan of your sound.
My goosebump meter went off at 28.30 so Idea #1 gets my vote. Love your common sense, well explained gear reviews/comparisons and down to earth approach. You and Meems make a very special team. Best wishes from Australia 🇦🇺✌🏼
Thank you Richard ❤️❤️❤️
really nice work on the ideas part great work really enjoyed idea one and two lovely vocals 👍😊👍
I love to hear her sing, good stuff, very entertaining.
Great video. Well edited and just generally helpful to all MPC one users.
Man this makes me happy. Basically feels like a full video response to a question I had asked you recently 😉
Thanks for watching! 🍻
Great, easy to follow vid. Have been on the fence about an mpc as a hardware controller and this totally sold me. Also, great delivery in general, not too slow, not too fast, everything is clear.
Sounds fantastic great vid
Just got myself an MPC one to control all my midi gear based on your awesome video, amazing bit of kit!
Keep up the fantastic work guys...ps, what an amazing voice Meems has.
Thanks you Tefty, that was such a help to me...using the MPC ONE to midi control external hardware. Awesome!
highly agree on the self editing while in creation mode, that can be a song writing killer for sure
whoah, that is so professional
Excellent Job. Love the style, Love the Sound. You are such a Good Team.
Thank you! ❤️
Excellent and clearly explained video 😀
Thank you so much for doing this video; I'm currently trying to get a hybrid studio (which is way to grand a term for what I'm actually doing) and it's so helpful to be able to see kit being used in a real world example, so this really hit the spot for me.
Excellent rendition. Thanks for all these hints for possibilities and little restrictions within MPC standalone software. A big thumbs up as well for the singer and your well arranged desk.
Thank you Adrian! 🙏
Man, I love this video. I'm a film composer/producer who's been using Cubase for 20 years, but now I want to put together a small, live setup for me and another composer to start gigging. I just started looking into what's available for hardware sequencers, and the way you are using the MPC, is the same way I used Cubase when I first started. Looking forward to learning more about the workflow of the MPC before pulling the trigger. Thanks so much for the tutorial!
Love the improvisation - she sounds wonderful.
This will help me integrate my rack tower. Spark amp, drum machine and DAE together! Thank you for the inspiration!
Thax! Great demo of exactly what i plan to do with this machine.
I watched until the end and then subbed. I actually came for info about the MPC One and then was intrigued to watch you create. Excellent stuff.
Left the video on after watching one of your tutorials because I was working, nice music, glad to know the people I rely on for hardware tutorials also make music that sounds cool with the same hardware.
This is so much help to me. Thank you🎉
Great vid! Norcal ❤️
Another great video. Pretty much how my MPC setup works, the line mixer and a patchbay really help. Thanks guys 🖖🏼
Thanks Scott! It's a solid setup. You get the most out of the machines with some decent flexibility. Cheers 🍻
Great work so many possibilities with the Mpc she’s a great vocalist
Man this is great. When I decided to build a Dawless set up, I employed a very similar concept but with the Maschine Plus as a midi sequencer, and after experimenting with other gear such as the Toraiz Squid, Pyramid Squarp, and others, I settled for the AKAI Live because its midi capabilities and routing options.
What a voice!❤️
just got mine!! I always find myself coming back to this vid lol thanks for the great content!!
That was a great set up and colab.
Seriously some high quality videos you guys are making that teaches a lot. Keep up the good work.
P.S. idea one was my favorite
🙏❤️🙏
thank you! This was great.
Ok... This was cool! Thank you for showing how you do it. Well done!
Thanks for watching! 🍻
I've just ordered one of these and mainly to use for sequencing external gear. will definately give this anothr watch once it it turns up, and will check through the rest of your vids
Thanks for this vídeos,the inspiration and over all for the music.
“Sois cojonudos”
Thank you for watching 🙏
Smooth Operators......
Outstanding work
I love the stands you are using! Looks so good :)
Wonderful combination you two
OMFG! Idea #1 was fucking glorious!!! Meems is always so incredible!!! I come for the awesome Tefty MPC tutorials, and end up just blown away by the stuff you guys create.
🙏🙏🙏 Thank you Adamd ❤️
Amazing!
Perfection dude
Thank you so much to the two of you for the excellent video. Loved the songs and great vocals. Has inspired me to buy an Mpc one and Tascam model 24 mixer, which enabled me to completely remove my Daw from the same room. Can just pop the Sd card out of the Tascam and load in either individual tracks or the mix down straight into cubase.... if I need to, i stress.
Thanks again!!
idea 1 and idea 3 are both very very good ! 🔥
19:30 true! There's something about the physicality that brings a different intelligence to the endeavour.
Great video, Meems got a great voice. Perfect combo, your tracks and her voice.
Thanks for watching 🙏❤️
Best video ever. You da man!!
Absolute great demonstration on the MPC one! Really detailed account on setup etc. Ordered the MPC one on the back of watching this video! Subbed...👍🏻
Thank you Tony! Good luck with your MPC journeys 🍻
Killing it. New fav channel.
Thanks for vibing 🙏
Thank you so much ,i just needed that for my setup!!! so talented both of you !!!
Hi Ivan, thanks for watching! 🍻
Love the track. Fantastic vocals & arrangements. I like to see you connection of your gear. As a newbie to mod, most videos don't show that. Ill be purchasing my gear in December or next year. Peace. Fantastic, the vocalist is fabulous, your arrangements are also. Thank you for sharing with the community.
Love your composition I love your walk-through good stuff bro
Thanks for watching! 🍻
Great Vocals and Nice tunes! 🤓
You can explode your drum track to individual tracks for each hit and then use track mute more effectively. Another great vid!
Excellent tip 👍
Great vid. 👌✨ Dude, if the MPC screen doesn’t feel great to you, try using a MPC without a screen for a week 😂 when you return to the One you’ll be like “this is amazing!” Haha
So glad I found your videos! Been lusting over MPC One and Digitakt for a while now - your videos really help elucidate the strengths of these devices. Subscribed
Thanks Trevor, glad they’ve helped in some way or form 🍻
Tefty & Meems killer beard btw 🤙
Its got killer finger drumming capabilities going, there's a fairly steep learning curve but the sound quality is outstanding and worth learning how to use it.
Tefty and meems I definitely like your work flow
Thanks!
Loving your collabs and deep-dives into the gear setup. Super helpful and inspiring. My workflow is fairly basic. Using a KeyStep Pro or NDLR as the sequencer and then into a bunch of synths (Korg Volca Bass, 0-Coast etc for drone/bass), Volca Drum, Volca Keys (for poly pads). Recording the stereo mixer output into a Zoom H4n with a bit of post-production polish done in Audacity.
Really enjoyed this!!, I ordered the MPC one yesterday ✌
Jesus.You are a wizard with synths and sequencing
🙏❤️🙏
Mpc is dominant again!!!Dope vid
for sure you are a great producer and Meem’s voice is also brilliant. You deserve at least 500k followers and even more. Wish you all the best and keep up the good work.
Thanks
Love that work flow.
Would love to see more
Amazing Voice, amazing Production skills! Verry good tutorial in the same time!!
This is so helpful!!! I have a lot of gear midi to my Renaissance. I just bought the live 2 because it has 2 midi outs. This should help a lot. Great video.
Excellent, great
She has a Beautiful voice,nice production ideas
Thank you Eric! 🙏❤️
maaaan . awesome !
Just what I was looking for, as i couldn't make mind up what sampler/seq was best suited to what i do, using my hardware synths. You earned a sub sir...
Thanks guys, was waiting for this walk through!
Thanks for watching! 🍻
@@TeftyMeems Just wrapped viewing, I wish i had held on to the MPC One long enough to see this video. Maybe i was to hasty in getting rid of it, as i got frustrated to quick in trying to learn it's ecosystem. Insightful vids as always. You guys should have way more than 3.5k subs!! One of the best channels on YT!!
I actually fully understand the frustration. It’s not perfect by any means, but it’s got tons of potential. You just have to deal with it’s quirks. I still find I make stuff quicker on the Digitakt, though.
@@TeftyMeems i think the Digitakt is next on the list. Im very intrigued by it's ability to create randomness.
Great Video, and idea 3 blown me away, such a huge Voice. Brilliant! Peace from Germany ✌
Thanks for watching!
Great stuff, just got a One and have only explored sampling and sequencing so far. Already had the sends set up to my mackie 1602vlz and it was sooo easy. Like seconds to get armed for recording scratches in from my 1210s. Time to hook up my synths and TR-8! Appreciate the crash course ❤
Very helpful, great too see a productive workflow with all this gear instead of tutorials, way more helpful imo
Thanks for watching and going on the journey with us 🍻
Greatness absolutely..!!!
