    Hi. Are you saying Splice will sync directly to your MPC or just to the SD card when it's in your computer? That would be amazing if it syncs through the WIFI on the MPC.

    • @brentwatters
      @brentwatters  Год назад +1

      Yes it syncs through the wifi! No need to plug it into the computer

    So .flac files seem to not play on my live 2. Any tips how to fix it?

    • @brentwatters
      @brentwatters  2 года назад

      Great question! Assuming you are getting them from Splice, I think your only option is to download them to your desktop browser, ensure they are .wav, and manually move them to the MPC. Id not think the MPV handles .flac very well. I personally have never had this issue but I found a few Reddit posts discussing this and downloading to the desktop first then manually moving seems to be the best solution.

    Peace, Brent. I recently copped a mpc live ii, but I've been struggling. My issue is getting the sample to loop or just getting everything on beat. I take it the grid is the way to go?

    • @brentwatters
      @brentwatters  2 года назад +1

      Yo yo yo. So I like using the grid when I am working with a sample that is a loop. I’ll load it onto a pad and then place a note right on the first down beat of a patter . I would also make sure the bpm matches the tempo of the sample
      You can also use the step sequencer to put a sample right on the 1st downbeat.
      Let me know if this helps or if you need further clarification

    • @brentwatters
      @brentwatters  2 года назад +1

      That does make sense! So assuming the sample has some sort of timing or groove - the first thing you should do is make sure the sample start point is at the first downbeat (aka the 1 if you are counting 1,2,3,4). Then use the grid to put a single note on the 1 of the grid (the very beginning). From there use the tap tempo button to tap the tempo of the sample. Turn the metronome on and listen for the metronome to align with the beat or groove of the sample. You can use the large knob in the main screen (after you click the tempo) to dial in the tempo as wellZ

    you just destroy a amazing piano the moment that you are warping or play around with the original splice sounds lissin good what it does it don,t stretch how it suppose to be it starts to crack and stutter YA REALLY DONT HEAR IT ?? please tell me that you hear it

    • @brentwatters
      @brentwatters  2 года назад

      I completely agree that the MPC live has some work to do to make warping sound decent, however I don’t necessarily mind the artifacts sometimes. The MPC live does a lot of things but some are only 80% to being perfect. I am okay with that as it adds so much to my creativity
