Standalone Mixing In The MPC LIVE Using Guitar Pedals

Thanks for sharing Malo !

Anyway you can list the pedals used in the video?

Awesome!!! Can you do a video mixing in standalone using mpc some time? I'm having a hard time finding my way. I gotta get these beats sounding good

All you need now is a Jiminy hendrix Wah Wah pedal. Lol. Good stuff 👊🏾

Or go through a UAD console for unlimited high end outboard silmulations..

Such a cool idea using GTR pedals instead of bigger Rack Outboard gear which essesntially doing the same. very moduler setup. i love this idea! great video bro!

Dope beat fam, and nice to see the whole chain! Standalone baby 🔥💪🏻

Aliexpress has some interesting little inexpensive guitar and bass pedals. Maybe worth a look

For the snare, couldn't your just re-sample, then replace the snare with the new sample ?

Does anyone know a good 8 mic pre audio interface that is compatible with the standalone Akais?

This signal chain looks like a lot of fun. This and the last few videos got me interested in dropping some 💰 on some of these pedals. Appreciate the knowledge. Keep it coming 👍👊

Damn that sounds great, shame the One isn't as equipped in terms of ins/outs - you've had me fiending for an Analog Heat to slam stuff straight through at the end though haha! Maybe MPC One -> Model 12 -> Heat for me

Dope content as usual my brother! I'm totally Dawless from beginning to end, and I'm thinking about getting the Electro-Harmonix since it's not too expensive! I can't explain it, but this is something I never thought about purchasing, because I didn't understand it, but the Analog Heat has been amazing! Keep doing your thing my brother!🙏🏾✊🏾💚

Bro are you using a daw to maximize your loudness or for mastering, or are you finishing them completely in the mpc, if your finishing in the mpc what are you using for a meter to get your levels consistent so the track volumes are the same from beat to beat, good video.

I’m looking forward to getting the peddles you recommended and a couple more
I love the sound they produce
So far I’ve been using the sp 404 mkii
As a outboard plug-in
But what you’re doing is next level
Keep up the good work bro

I have the HX Stomp from Line6, i play guitar and bass but have run the mpc through it also. It models pretty much any effect you could imagine plus it has amps, cabs and mics. It's a dream pedal.

🔥🔥🔥

Malo, are you saying that you could use this same exact set up using an MPC One, except I would need an audio interface with multiple outputs. Is that correct? Also, with the audio interface, will I have latency issues? Thank you.

You can look into saturnworks reamp box. The Saturnworks reamp converts a line-level balanced signal to an instrument-level unbalanced signal, so that it can be sent through a guitar amp and/or pedals.

Also check out neon egg planetarium pedal!

You could chain the pedals, meaning they’re all geeting a signal from out 3 or whatever, return on 1 and use the pedals as you wish, recording each effected part to audio. Saves messing with cables! Respect Malo. 👊👊👊

Thanks I’m considering trying some

Great vid. Thanks a lot for your tip. I play a little guitar, so i've got some pedals. Now, I know i can use them with other instruments, like a MPC. It was very interesting to see how you use input and output of the live. As you say, it's cool to know you can do this with usb port if you have audio interface. Thanks again, and take care.

Great ideas! how have i never seen your channel before? The thing I love about the MPC is there is always so many ways to achieve the same thing. For me I would resample the processed snare sounds and then replace the samples in the drum program with the new ones, that way the pad that is already triggering will just play that audio saving an audio track and the RAM needed. This also has the benefit of being able to change the envelope etc later if you want. Great stuff you got a new sub and I will check out more of your videos for sure :)

Bro can you do me a favor? This video may be explaining this in a way, if so my bad. Go listen to Chris Browns song “Call me everyday” on his new Album that just came out this year. I see you are into sound quality. How do they get this back, but up front clean drum sound? Also listen to John Legends album”Darkness and Light” on the song “Surefire”. I’ve heard this randomly on other albums. Wear your headphones to really hear it, if you do it. It’s always amazed me and I have been chasing this sound. I’ve wrote people, looked it up, tried the reverb thing, but can’t reach it. IF AT ALL POSSIBLE 😂😂😂..can you help me out? If not , the search continues.🤣🤣🤣Peace

Also, when you used the pedals, if you export the stems, do the tones print out with each track?

AKAI only released a Limited amount of the Retro.. It still boggles my mind that they did that. What a shame.

How are you adding these items in the chain and avoiding buzzing/ground noise?

Interesting workflow. Is there a reason why you aren't just sampling that snare processed through the pedal so you can unplug those cables again and still have the flexibility of stemming out and/or rendering an mp3? I mean this as an alternative to dedicating an entire audio track for it. You could even keep the dry snare and essentially have two samples for the snare, the dry and the pedal processed (wet) and could set the pads up so they always play together. Then mix them to taste.

Hook a interface up to the MPC, and you instantly have all the interfaces I/Os. A send and return for each pad. MPC ladies and gentlemen

You should just buy analogue mixer with sends this is to complicated workflow and takes time

Yes! I’m starting to experiment with this on my MPC! I too have the Colour Box! I recommend the Plethora X5 or x3. All the TC Electronic tone print pedals in one, the Data Corrupter is great and the MainFrame bit crusher is great as well (also a good filter)
I’ve also thought about the use of an interface for the input.

do you have an idea of how you would achieve this on an mpc one with a class-compliant mixer to increase the amount of I/Os? I think there will be a limitation in routing the channel audio from the mixer into an external pedal and back in, do you think?

how do I connect my guitar to akia Mpc one do I use a 1/4 stereo to dual 1/4 mono cable

This is fantastic! I love guitar pedals. Very creative idea.

I rock with your show heavy, And I could agree with your take on DAW’s and digital plugins. There’s something about not having to use a computer with endless plugins anymore lol. Appreciate your time bro🙏🏾

What reverb pedal did you use for the snare?

Dope. When you route different tracks through the same pedal, can each track have its own pedal setting or is it one pedal setting for all tracks routed through it?

Dope video! I have one question how do you print the beat out to be streamed with out a computer?

awesome video! it's a shame you don't see more pedal / mpc vids. Keep it up!

also as for a multi-effect pedal, generally not a big fan but... a buddy was showing me the TC Electronics Plethora x5 and I have to say if I was to buy one, it'd probably be this one.

Do you need a reamp to do this?

Is it possible to connect pedals to the MPC One Plus?

I finally figured out how to add my volt 476 in this chain. I run back out of that into the mpc

hot damn those drums KICKINNNNNN!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Hey Malo, have you ever tried a Memory Toy?

I said the same thing the other day. I can use 1 to 2 hardware Eq's and 1 compressor vs 10 plug-ins on one track... I'm loving the analog world.. I feel like the PRO's sold us on the plugins because they are making money, saying that they don't use hardware meanwhile they sitting behind a 100 track SSL console, please make it make sense 😂

yo malo how do i connect my mpc live 2 to my analog heat?

Right On Malo 👊🏽🫡

I’ve been investing into a few great pedals from Hologram Electronics. JHS and TC Electronics.

I was wondering if you would consider doing a tutorial or a recommendation video on choosing pedals for Hip Hop music production? 🤔💯

thats insane respect from Greece man

Great Vid!Could you recommend EQ pedal for outboard mixing?Thanks!
