Man I love how you broke down the process of mixing at the end you make some very valid points when it comes to mixing I use to drive myself rampant trying to perfect my mixes I had to learn the hard way that no mix will ever be perfect and all mixes aren’t created equal at some point you just have to be satisfied with your work and put it out . Thank you for sharing that 🙏🏾💯❤️
Malo always with the positive vibes. I hardly ever record two tracks the same way. I'll mix the best I can as I go but I'm just running with a vibe man. Most important thing is just to have fun. It's art, mistakes make it your own.
Best combo. I just did a 10min beat tape on my channel using this setup but I tracked out 5 of my fav current beats into Ableton. Mixed down to one long track, loaded that track onto Pad 1 on the SP. Tapped it, and performed all my effects using the SP. Turned out nice.
Thx for sharing this. I’ve had my SP404 MKII for a few months and haven’t really dialed into it. This helped tremendously with adding it to the workflow.
THANKS FOR THE ADVICE ON THE EXPORT THING .. I ALWAYS GET STUCK AT THAT POINT WITH THE EXCUSE OIF "ITS NOT READY OR ITS MISSING SOMETHING.. I END UP NOT GOING BACK TO THE BEAT ... ALSO THE SP WITH THE LIVE COMBO IS EXACTLY WHAT IM LOOKING TO DO .. AS YOU SAY "HAVE SOME FUN" LOL SALUTE TO YOU‼✌🏾
very impressed with the distrokid options and mastering service love your content and how patient and precise you are with all the info through every step and the why's.
Malo, thank you. I got both of these beauties this year. But as a guitar player that has awful fingerdrumming skills, I've been terrified to try live performing over Twitch for my friends. You've given me a workflow, and I'm stoked to try it out. Thank you so much brother
Facts have fun. Don’t be afraid to commit to audio. For me that’s where the magic happens. Who knows someone may discover your early exports and think the world of your work. Have fun
Great video, Malo. 👍 The MPC Live 2 is up a level with the SP404 though because you can loop out to the SP and back into the Live 2, that means you can then record/resample anything from either device. Also, it would be amazing if the SP404 could record in sync from the MPC, so you record a 2 bar loop monitoring by Ext Source, it gets to the end of the 2 bars and auto switches to the SP404 pad for playback. A man can dream. 😂
damn that's phat...great combo man. i got the sp, thinking of getting the mpc to go dawless for a min. a bit "afraid" about this because of structuring...will see
What if you go SP outs to MPC ins? You can resample on the MPC and record to your DAW using the MPC‘s USB MIDI/Audio out. Stems/Tracks are separated and can be recorded in 1, maybe 2 steps.
Thanks, got a good idea or two from this for mixing my next project, on these same two devices. I really wish they would fix the bug so my mixer would work without cracking and popping but this is a good work around.
Love your videos man! it's ok if your tracks are not perfect! Thats the whole point of this kind of music! The more it has unique/dirty vibe the better! 😎
Thanks for the video! I have the cables connected the right way. Changed the output to 3/4. ext source is active. I can hear the tracks from the MPC on the SP. But still not able to use the effects and filters from the SP. What am I doing wrong? I should be able to jam around right? Or is it only possible if you record and resample? Please help me out!
Note: you cannot record/stream directly to/from the SP‘s SD card. You always have to export/import from/to patterns/projects on the SP. Unfortunately, file management is really a PITA on the SP (SP Software, too).
Hi Malo i am using a MPC Live and Yamaha DTX M12 . I want to act my Yamaha DTX M12 as a Midi controller for start stop a sequence in MPC. I give midi command start and stop in separate pads in my Yamaha M12 stop command is working perfectly ok but unfortunately the start is not working 😢 plz
Does the sp404 MK2 suffer from volume swells while using fx with external on? On my sp404a when I switch between fx and playing through the external in I get volume swells depending on the fx. But if I put my song as a wav and put it to a bad like playing a sample then I don't get as bad volume swells
Quick question - I’ve been trying to go dawless recently using my MPC and soon to be 404. I currently have my monitors connected to the mpc outs, no interface required. When I eventually want to record my live jams that I’ve done with the 404 into a DAW, is there anyway to do this without reverting my setup to the classic gear into interface into computer out to monitors? Basically I want to avoid having to involve my computer until it’s time to record, but am not sure if there’s a quick way to do that without having to unplug the monitors from my MPC and re route everything through the interface, every time.
@@theartoflivingoutloud888 yes, and when I go to the link of the cables (which I need) the subject says Hosa CSS-800-PATCH, but at the lower right says Hosa CSS-845-PATCH, is there any difference between 800 vs 845?
killing it as usual, one question: do you find that only tracking a stereo mix into your DAW limits your capability as far as mixing goes? i feel like i want to track every single thing so i can tweak later which brought me to using controller mode to track so i can get 32 channels instead of just a stereo mix, or the 6 out the back of my live 2. Am i just over complicating this?
Always love your videos my man! I do have a question. It seems that the input signal is low on the SP. I have even got the setting input on 127. Is it normal to be quiet? Once I record into the 404 it seems fine but while playing it live through the 404 it seems quiet. Is that why your volume knob looks all the way up? Thanks so much!
Thanks for this video. I'b got one little question. did you sometimes send youd beat i SP404 (or a track of the beat) put an SP404 FX on it and send it back in the MPC for mixing, for example. I hope my question is clear, I'm not very good in english. 😅 Thanks again, and Take care.
Malo can you dispel something for me and S/O Me on the next video? I got an advanced producer Question! I’m a Dawless guy but I do happen to use the MPC One! In standalone and I have Air Flavor Pro Most say that’s a replacement for The SP And learning it’s workflow, is there any truth to this?
Hey brother, thank you so much for taking the time and dropping by with this amazing question. The answer is yes, and no. Depending on what you’re trying to do. I feel when it comes to getting a certain sound or texture to your overall mix AFP could definitely replace the 404, but when it comes down to ridding effects performing to the beat your playing back, nothing comes close to the 404.. I will be making a video to this question shortly and again, thank you so much for taking the time to ask this. I hope this clarifies a bit more, but I will also go in depth in a full video.
You're a gem Malo. Your teaching techniques have launched who knows how many beat makers on these recent devices
MALO*** obviously 🤣
Im one of them .

Great video bro, that's my everyday setup. The 404 has been my constant companion with every beat machine I've owned!🙏🏾✊🏾💚
, You could not have said it any better. That 404 truly does pare amazing with any other Sampler as your main machine
Thx for sharing this. I’ve had my SP404 MKII for a few months and haven’t really dialed into it. This helped tremendously with adding it to the workflow.
This is my exact setup 🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾
When you know, you know. Such a killer setup here right ? 🫡

I’m so glad I found your channel homie! So much amazing info. Thank you for your trial and error and sharing it with us. 🙏🏼

Thanks for sharing Malo, really nice setup with ease of access. I’ll probably get one SP-404 one day.
damn that's phat...great combo man. i got the sp, thinking of getting the mpc to go dawless for a min. a bit "afraid" about this because of structuring...will see
I would love it if you could do this with the MPC and the Tascam Model 12! Great video as always my dude! Stay safe!
If you find out how please do tell because that would be the best thing ever
That’s easy!
@musicislife704 How?with being able to use the Tascam in Audio Interface mode
YES YOU USE TASCAM AS INTERFACE USB ROUTE FROM YOUR MPC THEN YOU CAN MULTI TRACK @@b.j.jennings5020
What if you go SP outs to MPC ins? You can resample on the MPC and record to your DAW using the MPC‘s USB MIDI/Audio out. Stems/Tracks are separated and can be recorded in 1, maybe 2 steps.

Nice one! Ok! Printing 2 track is ok. What about when client wants that beat multitrack? Soloing each track and print the same way?
Excellent content as per, but that last few mins was like daaang, needed to hear that! Thank you
Yo bro good looking!! This what I needed to see. Appreciate it very much!
i love having a live 2 and my 404 together
Love your videos man! it's ok if your tracks are not perfect! Thats the whole point of this kind of music! The more it has unique/dirty vibe the better! 😎
Siempre inspira ver tus videos. Saludos. Lo malo de ver a Malo es que luego me dan ganas de comprarme un mpc.
Que onda Malo! Salute to you man 👊🏻💯🙏🏻 nice combo set up
Have Fun Yourself Man, Tank's a Lot Again, You made My Journey
Gotta get a sp404 mk2 that combo is on point
Man...I wish I knew how to add the Tascam model 12 to this setup and use it as a mixer in audio interface mode that would be like my holy trinity lol.
Thanks! But, besides the sp404 effects, does it make the sound better?
Thanks for the video! I have the cables connected the right way. Changed the output to 3/4. ext source is active. I can hear the tracks from the MPC on the SP. But still not able to use the effects and filters from the SP. What am I doing wrong?
I should be able to jam around right? Or is it only possible if you record and resample?
Please help me out!
such a legend. big love bro!
Can you do a tutorial on how you get your sound to come through so clear on the Internet
JAAJAJAJAJAAA...JAJAJAJAJAAA...ANIMO CON ALEGRIAS...VERY GOOD...
Cool content….how we all feel about the Analog Heat + FX?
Sounds like a perfect duo when paired with the MPC
I have the first one! And I'm not getting no Effects or Anything! Do I need to make Agustments to the MPC or put a SD Card in!
In my opinion the better setup is the MPC One running through the elektron syntakt. For me the perfect pair
Yes, pairs much better via MIDI and I also like the STs FX over the SPs.
Espero algun dia tocar esas maquinas saludos desde Mexico ❤👽👽suenan bien tus ritmos
Another dope video man
Hello. What if I got an MPC 2000 XL. I should route it in the same way? The midi ports let them un touched?
All that you are doing with the 404 can you do all on just the mpc.
Great content once again. Peace
🤜🏽🤛🏽thank you
Now you just need to add a keystep for a lil keyboard action. 👍

8:30 so where are you recording the performance.. it recorded directly into a daw ?
Great video!👍
How would I print a beat from this setup into a DAW?

can we connect both without an interface ?
That’s my question as well.

What desk setup do you have now?
I'm interested in the Roland. Does it have an SD slot? If so, can I load it with anything and make beats that way?
Yes there is an SD card slot and it’s very portable on the go. 🤛🏼
@@malobeats thanks man
