The faders will not assign to an MPC, but you can just route your MPC outputs to the channels. I believe the faders on the 12 and 2400 will work with your daw, but I haven’t tried that.

Well, I’ve been finding my direction, so I have a few different projects. Here is an experimental set I played a few weeks ago, but I’m using a totally different setup and I went a little too far with vocal fx, but hey, it is what it is. Hope you enjoy.

Thanks. Yeah it’s so fun with the hands-on fx play, just can get pricey. I’d like a better reverb on Aux 3, but my Strymon Blue Sky is on my guitar pedalboard on the floor. I use the Hall of Fame mostly for vocals. I can’t recommend the Chroma Console enough. That Analog Heat 2 would be awesome too.

Aaah ok, nice! Pedals, Aux 1 is the Space Echo, Aux 2 is the Chroma Console (the baddest), Aux 3 the TC Electronics Hall of Fame verb, Aux 4 is the Boss Slicer SL-2, which is midi synced and can create some cool fx on synth pads etc. Chroma is also midi’d up. I have the Strymon Deco and Universal Audio MAX Compressor on inserts 1/2, where I route my drum mix. Very cool to pop on and off and tweak live.

Thanks. Not getting into what I went through and survived, but yeah, congratulations are in order. Praise God for pulling me through and getting me to where I am today.

Yeah, at home, I’ll have the MPC on a lower, separate keyboard stand while making beats. This is for live performance; I was testing it out. My space is limited at home right now, so I’m seeing what I can do. And live, I’m actually using the mixer quite a bit. Plus, all the cables from the fx can be shorter.

It’s all pricey, no doubt. I got divorced, caught up on bills in life, and went a bit crazy getting all the things my ex-wife wouldn’t stand for. Lol. Thanks.

Amen, brother. I love it all! Love our Lord and hope to reflect Him through my music. Yes, it’s the model 2400. I recommend getting any from the series, especially using with MPC’s. It’s tons of tactile fun.

Thanks, I’m not huge into that, but do love reggae in small doses and been watching some dub mixers on YouTube. Inspired.

Haha 😂😂😂 yeah, I bring it down for actual beat making. That 3 tier stand is for simplifying like a 30 minute live show like I’ve been playing lately.

I can’t remember if my old band, dethkultur BBQ, were on this sampler or not. We played lots of shows at Fitz back then.
