  • Super Producer Jermaine Dupri dropped his first tutorial on how to record hardware synths into the MPC X. So, I wanted to weigh in on the matter at hand. He did a great job considering he's not a tutorial guy and used his platform properly. I'm adding a bit of knowledge on the matter to emphasize some of the hang ups.

    A few things. First, you can definitely warp audio in Audio tracks. Second, you can also record both audio and Midi at the same time to audio tracks if someone prefers that workflow. Just select the Audio and Midi track in the Track View by holding shift and arm the tracks. Lastly, anything recorded in Audio tracks can be brought into the sampler if you want later, they show up as samples in the list of audio files. So if you want to chop, etc you can and still have the Audio track playing. I use that to warp some vocals on top of an already playing vocal track for harmonies.

    Good video, but JD missed the fact that every “recording” and/or audio track is saved in your sample pool. So the audio track is able to be edited, chopped, flipped how you want. You just have to go to sample edit and scroll around. It’s in there. You can save to a drm program and warp, pitch, mute from there.

    The looper has an added latency when recording that the audio track doesn’t have for me. It’s like 5-10 ms ish. if it didn’t I would use it more.. Also with Audio track you can warp but warp sucks anyways in standalone mode. I Still prefer recording to audio track to get perfect loops then simply use the audio track 00x file in a program. Also you can punch in with audio tracks.

    Finally, somebody who understands MIDI and making those connections work. I have a question for you. I have a 24 channel USB powered fader mixing interface, and I want to permanently set it up to control the volume of tracks via USB/MIDI In sequences. So that I don’t have to go to each track and adjust the volumes, I can just do it with my mixer. Is there an easier way other than essentially telling the MPC unit what you want each fader and button to do?
    I feel the manual doesn’t truly cover enough about MIDI, in order to facilitate mixers and import those settings into every project you want to do. I know that I can have the MPC unit load up any templates that I save out. Which I use to save my favorite instruments on Tracks in order to be able to get into and start a new project/sequence instantly after turning the unit on. But I also want to have it load up the Mixer interface when it does so. so that I have instant control over volumes of each track on that mixer board. Along with fader and EQ’s.
    Any help would be awesome. Love your videos. Keep up the great work.

      That's also false. You can record both the audio and the MIDI at the same time but the real question is... Why would you do that in the first place? Especially, if you mess up playing the notes in real time. Hence why it would be SMART to record the MIDI first.

      For context at the time I was running power from usb to the dreadbox typhon and running audio out the typhon into the mpc not though midi so I was just trying to capture the audio and mix it with the mpc drums maybe I should have done it with midi just how I had my setup so sample was already ready I was just trying to capture it can’t render if it carried midi though usb I think 🤔 it could but I wasn’t using the 5 pin
