Hey, why do we have to route to a bus on audio track and not direct to the instrument track for recording? I’ve search everywhere and can’t find that answer. I am able to record to the instrument track with midi notes if I use logic software keyboard and MPC plugin but not with mpc live in standalone using plugin. Thanks
MAXX HEADDRUMZ currently this is the only way to record within logic as far as I know. We all need to contact Akai either via website or by using the button on the bottom of the software for making suggestions/comments and hopefully they can make this change on future software/firmware updates. Lets also suggest that the over dub/record button can be also toggled via hardware instead only thru the plugin within logic pro.
I’m using the mpc live and trying to copy the beats I’ve made from my mpc into logic, I was able to load the plug in like u showed in this video but how do I transfer what I’ve made on the mpc into logic?
Jow do I make the MPC 2.0 software control my new MODX? I cant hear the sou ds coming from the keyboard but I have audio plugged into the renaissance fron the MODX6.
I asked this on your stand alone vid, but I'll ask here as well since it's more recent. And it may be possible in one mode and not the other. Can I do this and use Logic as a sound module? I want to sequence on the Live in my case, but have it trigger VSTs in Logic?
So how every time I wanna use new track record what do I need to do I just received mine. I’m lost I ha e it open in logic i here I record one track I latch my note repeat it’s doing it to the whole program even when I go new track. I even open another instance and still see the pads lighting up from the other instance and I’m not even on that track... idk ... I’m going to try ur way but question is if I do note repeat will it...? Also if I want new track can I do different automation etc??? I know kinda cluttered I am maybe asking wrong but please try understand me thx
Mike Hawk it should allow note repeat but you can only use one MPC instrument per project, but you can record multiple audio tracks. You can only record one MPC midi track in Logic right now but you can record many midi tracks on the MPC. There are many possibilities with this configuration.
I don't own the MPC X yet, but i have a lot of other outboard gear (motif rack, akai s6000, akai S950, e-mu soundmodules etc etc.) so i wonder how i could best incorporate the MPC X best in my setup. Is it possible to route multiple tracks from the MPC X to separate busses for simultaneously recording individual audio tracks into logic? And does it record that via USB (as it can act as audio-interface) or would i still have to use the physical audio-outs on the MPC and use the inputs on my audio interface like i have to do with my motif-rack (which is also connected via USB, but not for audio)?
Nice setup! You can record in controller mode (via usb using the MPC as a software instrument) but you can't assign or bus each track on the MPC to a separate audio track in Logic and record each track simultaneously, not as of today anyway. Thats asking a lot don't you think? LOL... That was the first thing I tried buddy. But in reality you can record 8 audio outs into your interface with no problem since the MPC does have 8 analog outs. This is the point of having hardware right? Do you want to record in the box or record in standalone mode to have an authentic analog sound? You can do either one with the MPC but ya gotta pick one.
thanks for the quick response! yes, i was asking a lot, but i had hoped technology had come that far already, after having spent basically decades on working with the midi/audio separation.. when will this finally become easy? ;) my problem is that all my audio interface inputs are already full (the disadvantage of having a lot of external gear), and i already have to move audio-cables between external devices (basically do a temporary mix-down) and if i get the mpc x i fear this will get even worse.. so i had hoped to use the inputs on the mpc x as an additional audio-interface .. as far as i can see that's possible if i use the MPC as a plugin.. but it seems that i can then not get the typical mpc feel as it'd be just like an external module and sequencing is done in logic, right? so maybe it's better to use the mpc in standalone mode and then bounce as audio-files (i did see in a video that you can separate the tracks there) and then import those to logic for controlling the other output gear and sequencing further? hmmm.. also not very straight-forward, but an option.. still much to consider ;)
OMG dude.. Your problem is an easy fix... I need to do another video really soon on the importance of MIXERS! If the computer is the brain this is definitely the heart... stay tuned...
ah, i have an allen & heath console (that's currently bypassed) as i need to keep individual tracks to mix at a later stage (actually in another studio), so summing isn't really a good option.. i did that in the past when i used hardware-only.. i know i can connect some of the equipment to the (analogue) console and solo the tracks and bounce them individually, but i try to avoid the necessity of that.. with my current audio interface i can record the audio of 4 stereo modules (or 8 mono tracks) in one go, which is nice and easy if i stay within that limit.. if i add the adat board to the S6000 i could have that fully covered in itself as well and free up some of the 1/4" jacks.. i could add a focusrite octopre or another saffire pro 40 (which i use now) in a daisy-chain to get some more direct inputs as well, so there are some options.. the other route would be to use the MPC (possibly 2.0) as main sequencer. once done with a track record everything onto audio-tracks in logic (or MPC 2.0?) and just use logic for the audio-recording and laying out the final sequence and effects before it's exported for mixing in the other studio.. in that case i'd have to mess around with midi-connections from the MPC to each device and most likely couldn't control my 8x8 to only send midi to the right module.. so also not really a good solution.. maybe i should just get a big enough digital console instead?

4 YEARS AGO AND STILL HELPING FOLKS LIKE ME! THANKS
YOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! THANK YOU!!! I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO FIGURE THIS OUT!!!
great video thanks a lot!
You are welcome!
How are you able to route the midi information in real time from MPC One into Logic Pro X to be able to quantize on each separate channel?
Wooo! I'm feeling it
hardest tutorial ever damn son sheesh
So if I make a 4 bar loop in mpc can I play with the mute pad feature on mpc and live record that into logic into a audio track
Hey, why do we have to route to a bus on audio track and not direct to the instrument track for recording? I’ve search everywhere and can’t find that answer.

Can you record more than just plugins?
What if you’ want the MIDI data on logics grid?
Would have been great to add how you put the mpc in controller mode.
I’m using the mpc live and trying to copy the beats I’ve made from my mpc into logic, I was able to load the plug in like u showed in this video but how do I transfer what I’ve made on the mpc into logic?
export
hello i have question
do i need to have an audio interface for record audio chanel or only use usb software akai mpc 2.0
I use an interface.
Can you use MPC chord progressions on Logic vsts?
I have not tried it, but logically it should work (no pun intended)
I can’t get the logic to record multi tracks from the MPC X software
Neither can I.
Can you do multiple tracks like this?
I don't think so.
Are you plugging your mpc into the usb? Or the interface?
Both. USB for syncing and interface for audio.
Good tutorial. The background music was a little too much.
The background music was unnecessary…. I could not focus!!!
So I need to route the audio to a new track every time I want to record a new instrument? Since I can only use 1 instance of the MPC plugin at once.
DjAjonra yes. That is the way recordings have been done on all those old records you love.
Jow do I make the MPC 2.0 software control my new MODX? I cant hear the sou ds coming from the keyboard but I have audio plugged into the renaissance fron the MODX6.
Not familiar with MODX6...
Has anyone worked out if it's possible to record audio from logic into the MPCX when it's being used as a plugin?
I have no need to do that.
I asked this on your stand alone vid, but I'll ask here as well since it's more recent. And it may be possible in one mode and not the other.
Can I do this and use Logic as a sound module? I want to sequence on the Live in my case, but have it trigger VSTs in Logic?
You would be the first to do that if possible. I have never done that one.
How do I get the drums to sound the same on audio track, coming out a little distorted and fuzzy?
I have never experienced that. Try adjusting your volume. Disable any plugins on the master stereo channel until after you have recorded.
So how every time I wanna use new track record what do I need to do I just received mine. I’m lost I ha e it open in logic i here I record one track I latch my note repeat it’s doing it to the whole program even when I go new track. I even open another instance and still see the pads lighting up from the other instance and I’m not even on that track... idk ... I’m going to try ur way but question is if I do note repeat will it...? Also if I want new track can I do different automation etc???

Mike Hawk everything for recording should be in one of my videos

What Logic Pro x version you using? Im using 10.3
Same here buddy. This one is 10.3.3. I want to upgrade to the latest version but Apple is making me get a new computer to do that. Thats gangster.
Is it possibile to use X as a keyboard without software MPC? I would like to use in Ableton..............
I would like to think so, but I don't have Ableton so I cannot confirm.
@@StudioToys in Logic? How do you think to setup?
@@biturbo I use a keyboard in Logic, but I do know of other cats that use the mpc in Logic so it is possible.

@@StudioToys I’m here for this video
My MPC isn't showing up in my Logic Pro instruments
Make sure you have the latest MPC driver and software installed.
I do
Lawrence Chatman add a new track then select software instruments then select mpc in the dropdown menu
I got it. I went in the Plug in manager and saw that the MPC said it wasn't validated. I rescan the plugins and then it worked. Thanx for your reply
Lawrence Chatman Awesome!
