Saved to my notes. I've been doing a method thats not specifically trying to be sp1200, but, i'd double the speed of a sample and reduce it to 12 bit (i forget if i would speed it up first or reduce the bit first at the moment), then i load that sped up sample and slow it back down to normal/preferred playback speed. sprinkle some compressor on it. Your notes may save me time if i do a batch convert process
Hope you guys enjoyed this video as much as I did making it. Let me know what’s your guys go to plugins on the mpc one for your workflow? Much love to all you guys.
@@NoQualmsTheArtist Thank you so much for this I actually just found out about that myself which is really cool because it does affect your entire session. I’ve been enjoying the MPC 60 sound the most.
Thank you so much for taking your time and leaving your input here on the comment section, it really means a lot and I appreciate you. Blessings to you
This Air Lo-Fi is necessary when going for that boom bap sound. Since mostly all the new sample packs and drum kits come at 24 bit, you could never achieve that grittiness without doing this, or loading them into those older machines
Yes coming from my 2000 XL to these new machines it’s been amazing but they sound a little too transparent and lack the grit from the older machines but thankfully there’s these type of plug-ins that help a lot to add grit to your sound this is a definitely go to plug-in for me.
no sir, using the Master Compressor default present with Oldskool on, as well as the regular SP1200 plugin, both on the master bus. Maybe a parametric EQ to boost lows.
+1 for Mother Ducker. Freaking amazing and simple plugin that gives an amazing retro vibe. Tape stop and half time are a lot of fun as well, not sure if these were there when you did this video, but take this track you played in this video, would work great.
Hey Joshua, thank you for sharing this input and yes I have to agree with the mother Ducker plug-in I still can’t get the same say chain effect that this plug-in gives me I try to replicated in a DAW but it’s not the same.
Hi! Thx for the vids. Love the one on using all the pads on your bank to dive back into the record for more samples 👍🍻 You got a vid on creating bass line sounds?
I use the mighty Synthstrom Deluge, but I just got an MPC for its more digital friendly chopping abilities. Together, they're absolutely awesome production tools! Great vids, dude.
I have been truly struggling with the Deluge trying to learn to sample on it. I cut my teeth on the MPC, and the Deluge is just so unintuitive in this regard. Love everything else it has to offer though.
Mario, thank you so much for the video. Brother, you should honestly record an entire tutorial on the MPC One and sell it for nominal fee. You are a great instructor and I really mean that, brother. Side note: Since the 2000XL has that unique sound that so many enjoy, have you ever just sampled directly into the 2000XL and then sampled that sound into the MPC One? Again, thank you for the video. Bendiciones!
Hey David, thank you so much for this message it really means a lot and in regards to the sound quality from the XL vs the MPCONE i have not yet compared them side by side but I would love to do a technical comparison SOON. i will be working on some 2kxl videos very soon cuz I'm starting to use it a bit more now.
Hey Sergio, thank you so much for this information. I appreciate you dropping his comments, I believe the 12 bit sampling is an option when you edit your audio file correct?
@@sergiosandoval7955 lol right ? Yes well I’m really enjoying this air Lofi plug-in I feel it sounds very similar if not identical and it’s within seconds
Hey Jason, yes I have and I notice there is a slight difference. As of lately that’s how I’ve been storing my drum samples when I record them into my folders.
Thanks for the videos man! Is there any reason I should keep my MPC-1000 If I have an MPC-one? I dont believe theres anything special about the sound quality on the 1000 but Ive had a few people tell me to hold onto it.
Honestly I have my 2000 XL and I don’t really use it at all now that I have my MPC ONE, even though I don’t use it I will never sell it because it’s a classic drum machine but that’s the only reason why I will hold onto it personally. My MPC one does everything my XL does and much more
Hello, I was wondering, what is the difference between using send/return for plugin effects vs just putting those effects directly on a track? I'm lost when it comes to send/return, and sidechaining effects. Thank you.
Hey brother, great question by the way, and one of the biggest benefits of putting a time base defect or plug-in something like a reverb or delay in the sand return would be that you could send multiple tracks to that one reverb plug-in without having to put multiple reverb plug-ins in all your tracks. Hopefully this makes sense but I only use it for reverbs and delays if I want to send multiple tracks
@@malobeats ahh yes thank you. It's the same in my studio one DAW, I'm learning to bus/sidechain effects. I'm currently trying to find the video where you specifically sidechain the mother ducker plugin for that pump sound. Getting the sample to cut under the kicks. Anyway, thanks for the help! (Mpc live ll retro)
Oh man it’s funny you mention this, don’t worry because that happened to me too I was trying to do some parallel compression but notice it was not working since there’s some type of phasing issue going on. So it’s something that they would have to fix in an update.
But that says a lot, as there’s some phasing going on there must be a short time delay from those returns. I rarely use the returns and if I put a Reverb I just go ahead and inserted on though program itself.
Hey brotha, are you recording those drum samples into the MPC or are you importing them directly from an SD card? If you are recording them in to the mpc I would set your recording level at about -9 to -3db.
That’s a great question, I think you might only be able to do four plug-ins on each track but I might be wrong. I haven’t used the software yet I’ve only been using it in standalone mode.
Thank you brother appreciate that coming from you, I don’t remember where I got these drums from I would have to go back to the session and recall it but now that I listen to it again they did sound very good right out of the box
I really enjoy mixing in ProTools but it is a bit pricey. As of right now I have been mixing everything in Ableton which only cost about $100 and it’s very capable.
Awesome video bro, I wish the mpc had more plugins and virtual instruments. Do you know any way to reset the play head back to the beginning? Or can that only be done by using the q-link knob everytime? I dont understand why I cant hit stop twice and reset the playhead back to the beginning
Hi there Torez, these plug-ins come installed on the MPC hardware already so you should be able to find them in your plug-ins list installed on your MPC.
i hate bringing this up but do NOT have your monitor tweeters facing inwards… those are meant to placed vertically anyway but if you’re gonna place them horizontally at least have the tweeters facing outwards for a good stereo image, you’re basically mono-ing out your high end by doing what you’ve done… 😁
sp1200 - 26.040 kHz, 12 bit Mpc 60- 12-bit, 40kHz Mpc 3000= - 16-bit, 44.1kHz Mpc 2000xl 16-bit 44.1 kHz set it and save it Air lo-fi
You’re the man bro, this is so useful thank you so much for this. Blessings to you
And adjust the aliasing for a more prominent effect🔥

Wow so this is how to get that sp1200 sound for drums??
Discovered your channel about a week ago. Really enjoying all your videos

Somewhere in your master settings you can choose what hardware unit you want the MPC One too sound like, MPC 60, SP1200 etc
@@NoQualmsTheArtist Thank you so much for this I actually just found out about that myself which is really cool because it does affect your entire session. I’ve been enjoying the MPC 60 sound the most.
@@malobeats yeah there was definitely something magical about the OG. It's swing and the sound of the MPC 60 was something special.
Thanks for this. I'm an old dude who strickly worked with the ASR 10 until picking up the MPC One and these tips will help a lot 😀
Good choices for sure
It’s gonna sound dirty- then sounds amazing ,,, happy I found your videos bro
Thank you so much for taking your time and leaving your input here on the comment section, it really means a lot and I appreciate you. Blessings to you
Just got my MPC ONE
Please do more videos and also tutorials for beginners like me

The MPC 2000xl did have 12 bit sampling. The 16 bit was default sampling.
Hey Sergio, thank you so much for this information. I appreciate you dropping his comments, I believe the 12 bit sampling is an option when you edit your audio file correct?
@@malobeats correct. I'd sit down for a while, brew some coffee and read a book and wait for resampling to finish, lol.

2000XL is a 16 bit sampler. Have you tried sampling into the XL & then resampling into MPC One?

I tried out the tube drive using the send to return function and for some reason my drums are phasing, what did I do wrong? Thanks again!

Thank you Malo, how the heck did you use the tube drive with the send returns with out it phasing on you in this video? It sounds really good 👍
@@5thSealBeats the air enhancer can switch phase, of that helps
My drums always clip hard when i programm them in the mpc one. Is there any way to avoid?
Hey brotha, are you recording those drum samples into the MPC or are you importing them directly from an SD card? If you are recording them in to the mpc I would set your recording level at about -9 to -3db.
Merci
I think the MPC 60 Vintage mode seems kinda beefy, like the 2000XL.
Dope vid but the XL was 44.1 KHz/16 bit actually.
Hey brother thank you so much for this correction. Also thank you for taking the time and checking out the video. Blessings
Right! I'm surprised no one caught that. First and last MPC that was 12 bit are MPC 60 and 60 II, respectively. 2000XL is 16 bit like my 2000
Is there any way to get more than 4 fx in standalone?
That’s a great question, I think you might only be able to do four plug-ins on each track but I might be wrong. I haven’t used the software yet I’ve only been using it in standalone mode.
You can bounce it and then add 4 more effects
Send effects
Route to a submix, add another 4 in there
Those drums already sound tight out the box. They come from a pack?
Thank you brother appreciate that coming from you, I don’t remember where I got these drums from I would have to go back to the session and recall it but now that I listen to it again they did sound very good right out of the box
Can you download plug ins and vsts from other companies to the One??
What's a good daw to mix on? And affordable?
I really enjoy mixing in ProTools but it is a bit pricey. As of right now I have been mixing everything in Ableton which only cost about $100 and it’s very capable.
Could you send me link to buy?

There's 2 play buttons. Use the first one for what you're asking about .👍
My bad imean the second play button. It plays from beginning with that one
@@dnareti go back to the start hit shift plus stop.
I'm new to the mpc and I just got the mpc a few weeks ago and wamt to know where to get these plugins
Hi there Torez, these plug-ins come installed on the MPC hardware already so you should be able to find them in your plug-ins list installed on your MPC.
You sampled those drums in from vinyl?
Hey Dario, no I actually downloaded a drum pack from splice.com i’m not sure which pack was off the top of my head but it was from this splice.
Pilpo Pluggins! Do not take me for some conjurer of cheap tricks!
