You’re literally the reason I bought an MPC (Live 2) since wanting an MPC since highschool (05’-09’). Not only did you market it well but your tutorials got me running it flawlessly in 1 week. Akai definitely dropped the ball not shipping you an MPC X SE.
Hey man, this means a lot and thank you for taking the time to share your story with me. It’s all about sharing the love and inspiration with one another and my biggest goal is to resparked that passion and love we have for this thing called art/Beatmaking.
Same here, there are lots of MPC tutorials, but the effort you put in yours just shows: it's clear, well thought and the image quality isn't blurry/dark. I have my MPC on a table with a MIDI keyboard and my iPad above the whole setting to watch your tutorials and put them in action on the spot. You're a good teacher. And your music is pretty good which doesn't hurt either.
Worth mentioning that using the usb interface mode you have disabled all analogue inputs and outputs on the MPC. You are monitoring from the Volt, not the MPC.
WOW!!! ok question time.... when you export the beat.. do you print ? in order to get the 476 sound? and if you do print ..what interface do you use to receive the audio from the mpc to ?
I'm getting a yammaha emx 200 would you be able to help me figure out what leads I will need to connect it to my mpc one at all is pics on Google or rear end of he mixer if your able to help me out bro
It sounds amazing… everything about it is awesome. I just don’t like that. It’s hard to wire stereo for my inputs, but other than that this thing is awesome.
Don't sweat it, Malo! Besides...... they ask for the item back after the person does a review on it or you get charged for it with a slight discount!!🤷🏽♂️
Speaking of the panning problem of the single channels. Someone might mentioned this down in the comments or you figured it in the meantime... but you have the "mono" button on the 476P which kills the panning of the single channels. Not ideal that the mono button goes for all or no channels but for some situations its cool to have it. Having the Volt 476p too, any of that its an awseome interface 👍. Thanks for your work here, im always enjoying your tutorials.
Malo je really need a mixing desk from 80s or early 90s. They are going up now but i got my Mackie cr1604 for 50€ and it really makes difference if you want to colour your signal. Its especially good for house but hip hop also. You have pedals now and you can hook them up via send its so much fun to twist knobs and mix that way its crazy good and i know you would love it. And you can also hear it after you push it and go in to red/clipping its instant 90s sound
Dude thank you for this i have been wondering about this exsct product! I had just bought the UA Max compressor pedal and i saw this after and thought "shit" i could use more inputs on my computer. But this is even better i can use this on my mpc one and eventually get that tascam 12 for the PC
Hello Malo! I recently signed up for your sample sharing program and I've been watching all your videos ever since. Your teachings help me a lot to progress, your positive energy and your passion for these machines and beatmaking motivates me to always learn a little more and practice more. So a big thank’s to you Malo I hope you are enjoying your new studio! P.S. The UAD Volt doesn't have a mono button? What is its function ? I am currently looking for an audio interface to extend my setup and play with a few guitar pedals and this volt interests me a lot so thank you for your feedback would you have any other models to recommend and a first pedal to try?
This might be a stilly question but my Volt is hooked up to my speakers - i want to connect my mpc x to get audio from it, to i buy to 1-4 inch cables or do i buy a one with a spliter and just plug it in the front of the volt
ya but how are you coming out of the MPC? Your MPC has no usb or audio cables, VERY confusing. Im moving on to less Talking/Complicated videos. And ive been doing this for 15years
Hey brother, thank you so much for this input. Yes, I am using mono cables. I’m gonna test a few different cables and see if I get anything different but so far this has been an issue. Again, thank you so much for the input. I’ll get back to you as soon as a test this out.
@@malobeats no, thank you! I use Live 2 and record a lot of things in mono. Additionally, i have been considering getting a Volt, so this video was very useful for me.
Where’s the link to the video ? That’s the kinda mad scientist stuff I like about ur channel … please do a new with the volt and hella pedals /UAD console..
Yes, but balanced or unbalanced has to do with the signal, whether it is a line input (balanced - TRS) or an instrument (unblanaced -TS), if the stereo signal is split before the output, then you can use a TS cable to carry left or right of the stereo to separate 1/4 jacks.
Im thinking about the 276, this sounds nice. You can convert the sample to mono after recorded. You get to choose sum, left, or right. Not really what your looking but that might be as good as it gets. Great Video as always. God Bless! ✌
For those of you who don't see a connection, it's audio over USB ... if you look close, you can see the USB is connected. I didn't see it at first and was mystified... LOL ...
How would you compare the compression on the volt to your ehx platform? I'm thinking about getting the ua max dual compressor pedal that just came out too
I went with an RME Babyface Pro and it's been amazing and yes you can mono each channel. It doesn't have a 1-button compressor tho. One limitation i've found with the MPC is that although you can run mono channels using the L/R on the Main Outputs, if you put an insert plugin into that linked output (say 1/2) it automatically links the output to stereo regardless of what you have the interface set at.
I'm getting a yammaha emx 200 would you be able to help me figure out what leads I will need to connect it to my mpc one at all is pics on Google or rear end of he mixer if your able to help me out bro
Yes, but... Using an external interface disables the MPC's onboard I.O. So, by hooking up this interface, you actually lose 2 outputs, but gain an extra pair of inputs. You seem to have your reasons, but this is basically a lateral move. Anyway, I just thought this was worth mentioning for the sake of others. Cheers!
You’re absolutely correct and I should have mentioned this, the benefit that I get from this set up is having those extra parameters when it comes down to Sound design like the compressor and vintage mode being able to slam your signal right back in. Eventually, I want to try out an actual small digital consul to really expand the audio, but this small set up in this video really works for the onboard compressors that the interface carries. I really appreciate you taking the time and sharing this input with us though since it’s very helpful.
What a beautiful video! A wonderful set up. I use a Volt1 and I feel great, but this ... damn. When I get rich with miausica, I'll definitely think about it 🤣 Thanks for your sympathy, passion and see you next video. ah, subscribed. 🙏
Maybe it's set up stereo because you're using it with the MPC . With any daw you use you can set the inputs as stereo and/or mono. Maybe check your input selection within the MPC.
Thank you so much for this input, you’re absolutely right. I just found out that it is possible in the daw but unfortunately it does not give you that option in the MPC. I/O set up.
I feel like the closest to this would be the amp simulator plug-in, but the actual hardware definitely packs. They have a punch compared to the plug-ins as of right now. I’m sure they will be getting some better plug-ins down the road hopefully
lol...i thought the same thing too.but I believe all you need is the usb cable to have all the audio going to the 476 and he probably just fully charged the mpx before recording the vid, but i get what you mean .
The MPC Live 2 has both, the blue square-ish one that you find on most gear, and the rectangular ones which you find on a computer. It’s hard to see because it’s a black cable against the black rear panel, but it’s right next to the blue USB port

Was on the fence about getting one of these. It sounds dope on drums & samples!💯

Thanks Malo, that Volt processing sounds silky smooth 🤯
It sounds amazing… everything about it is awesome. I just don’t like that. It’s hard to wire stereo for my inputs, but other than that this thing is awesome.
Hey Malo, where is the link to the Apollo setup video?
Akai should've given you an SE, their loss
Oh man, thank you, I’m not really connected with them like that but that new machine does look beautiful. I’m not gonna lie.
Don't sweat it, Malo! Besides...... they ask for the item back after the person does a review on it or you get charged for it with a slight discount!!🤷🏽♂️
@@MightyD18 for real? I had no clue that's how that worked
@@MightyD18 oh really i thought they gave it out for free, i didn't know they had to pay after reviewing the product .
That’s facts

The button at left to the master volume knob isn't supposed to make every input mono or what is it for?

Thinking of getting this audio interface. Do you hear lots of noise when turning on compressor?
thanks Malo... I've been thinking about getting one but I didn't understand the connections like how you did this here ... 🔥💯✌🏾‼

Great video Malo. I have a question for you!!!! How do I record from my MPC X into my VOLT 1 to Logic Pro. I want to record each drum separately.
This sounds great. Do you like this over the Elektron Heat?
I actually have a few videos coming up with that machine. And much much prefer the analog heat sound versus this UAD interface.
@@malobeats yeah I was about to say that the heat sounds better
This might be a stilly question but my Volt is hooked up to my speakers - i want to connect my mpc x to get audio from it, to i buy to 1-4 inch cables or do i buy a one with a spliter and just plug it in the front of the volt
Im getting soundcraft mk2 22 do you think i will benifit from putchasing this aswell coz the mixer allready got a cimpressor on it ?
Where can I get the vocal loop fam much respect from brutal music fam chop RECORDS
ya but how are you coming out of the MPC? Your MPC has no usb or audio cables, VERY confusing. Im moving on to less Talking/Complicated videos. And ive been doing this for 15years

ruclips.net/video/GT8GDCzaQkQ/видео.html thank you so much for the request, I just went ahead and published it.
Straight fire
Thank you homie, 🫡🤜🏽🤛🏽
Hey Malo is there a way to use controller mode and your volt at the same time?
Isn’t the stereo/mono input based on whether you’re using balanced or unbalanced TRS/TS cables?
Yes, but balanced or unbalanced has to do with the signal, whether it is a line input (balanced - TRS) or an instrument (unblanaced -TS), if the stereo signal is split before the output, then you can use a TS cable to carry left or right of the stereo to separate 1/4 jacks.

Where was it connected to the MPC?

@@ThirdLadderEnt USB port
Will love to compare this with the Tascam 12. Looking for an interface for my mic, mpc, and guitar.
This volt sounds so much better than the tascam model 12 when it comes down to sound quality alone
@@malobeats I think you may have the 479p which is why the mono switch is MIA
Do you still get the full wet signal from the pedals? With focusrite 4i4 the software doesn’t allow this.
How would you compare the compression on the volt to your ehx platform? I'm thinking about getting the ua max dual compressor pedal that just came out too
I have the volt 4/76 It is great for a person who wants an apollo sound without the price plus the vintage and 76 compressor is easy mode
Been looking at a used one for a week, do you run it standalone with MPC/any issues? I need the extra inputs for sure
@@dustyaudio I do both and have no issues for my needs
I went with an RME Babyface Pro and it's been amazing and yes you can mono each channel. It doesn't have a 1-button compressor tho.

Will the boom bap beat pgm be uploaded?
She’s a pretty piece with a great attitude.
Hi, would mpc work same with volt 276?
Sounds more like hi gain distortion and/ or eq... the top end is definitely missing in the "unprocessed " version

(inst) buttons should make inputs mono My G
SHOULD or DO ? Ive been in the market for one of these.
just purchased one
I’ve been seriously considering this interface but I need clarity on the mono stereo. Asked my sweet water rep. I’ll follow up
Thank you. I’ve done some research myself, but wasn’t able to find anything. If you hear anything back, let us know.
👍🏾
Where do I run my monitors to hear it?
How is that mono, u talk of work?
Dope, make me want one for my Mpc one
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Dope video
how about uafx max

Malo you need to address this to Akai and ask for more effects to match or surpass any outboard gear great video
I feel like the closest to this would be the amp simulator plug-in, but the actual hardware definitely packs. They have a punch compared to the plug-ins as of right now. I’m sure they will be getting some better plug-ins down the road hopefully
Another excellent video. Great product review MALO. Sounds really good. 🫡🎧☀️
how is this possible if the mpc is not even hooked up
lol...i thought the same thing too.but I believe all you need is the usb cable to have all the audio going to the 476 and he probably just fully charged the mpx before recording the vid, but i get what you mean .
Lol .... yes it is .. do you even know what a "USB AUDIO INTERFACE" is?
Hardwired in stereo. Why would they do that 😳 all input should have an option to be independent smh…. that’s an instant pass for me
Bit of clipping ;)
good to master the mix too
Absolutely,
I'm not seeing any outputs on your mpc bud. what magic is going on here???
I’m connected via USB, which is the black cable you see in my desk. It’s hard for me to even pointed out. Lol but it’s a black cable you’ll see.
There's nothing hooked up. The blue jack on the back of the MPC Live II retro is the usb 3 port. Nothing was connected to it.
The MPC Live 2 has both, the blue square-ish one that you find on most gear, and the rectangular ones which you find on a computer. It’s hard to see because it’s a black cable against the black rear panel, but it’s right next to the blue USB port
