Nice! Having a blast is the key. I haven’t been able to pull myself away from my MPC since getting it. I’m now getting to the point where there isn’t much thinking and I’m zooming thru the workflow.

How is recording an dynamic mic into the Key 37 a secret?
He also didn’t even play the recording.

It’s simply a video illustrating MPC as a complete song creation workstation for those who don’t know or who look at it as just another sampler or drum machine.
But yeah….for clicks indeed. I’m sure there are people who make videos to not get clicks.lol
Def should have playred it back….)j

I spent the afternoon trying to create audio loops with the mpc synchronized to ableton, nothing works on the arrangement and not even with the looper, only the sampler works, the only option is to use the internal clock. On a page of the Akai site it says that the recording would work with the midi time code, and I would therefore need a plugin on Ableton to send this type of signal, has anyone ever tried this system? Does it work?
Syncing over midi clock? Haven’t used MTC out of Ableton, but just to say that in my experience Link is worth a go, haven’t tried on 3.0 but found it surprisingly good on 2.15.
I did a quick test with ableton link and actually recording on the audio track works, but the timing between Ableton and mpc was very out of sync, I have to work on it

Never got this to work. Really sucks that the looper doesn’t work when MPC isn’t master clock.

Using Ableton Link is probably the best option for sync. I tried recording audio on the MPC, and the offset was about 5ms.

no information from AKAI about the progress with the 3.x desktop application?
Definitely going to try this when I get the chance. Did you know that you can change the overlay for the effects w/ graphic design software like Adobe Photoshop or Affinity Photo.
wow wasn’t aware of that, akai’s full of suprises…
Yeah, when you use USB disk mode you go into the folders and copy the overlays to change.

Ableton Link works the best. Also. Record to your audio tracks. I found that works the best and is the tightest recording I can get. It adjusts the offset.
My theory is that the MPC compensates after the fact for the delay you’re hearing

Today I tried again and I saw that Link works well but only using the mpc buttons, if I start Ableton from pc or Push the synch is all wrong. Apart from this today I had the problem that the overdub does not work, I used the audio track to record and the recording happens only once, when I click the overdub button it does not record, I do not know what I am doing wrong

To sync sequence start, turn on Ableton Start/Stop Sync in MPC’s Prefs > MIDI, and enable Start Stop Sync in Live’s Prefs > MIDI.
Also, note that audio tracks on the MPC do not support overdub recording (this is MIDI-only). You should always use the REC button when recording audio.
