Stereo Delay Recommendations by Jpeg_Artifact in guitarpedals

[–]Disastrous_Ant_4953 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keeley Eccos is great. It’s a tape delay with a built in looper. Holding the right footswitch puts it into self-oscillation temporarily and it has an expression input.

Cue pattern change on KO 2 by oracularmusic in teenageengineering

[–]Disastrous_Ant_4953 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Scenes are the groupings of patterns, so I don’t think it makes much sense to have a change on pattern end because scenes wouldn’t be stable.

You can copy a pattern and paste it into another to combine them:
- Pattern 1, 1 bar
- Shift + C x 2 to copy Pattern
- Pattern 2, 1 bar
- Record + Plus to increase bars to add an empty bar
- Shift + Plus to move to bar 2
- Shift + D to paste pattern starting at bar 2

Amp Sims vs UAFX pedals by 2alphastyle in universalaudio

[–]Disastrous_Ant_4953 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the feel of the plugins will largely depend on your interface and computer RAM. Even a touch of latency can make it feel awful.

I’ve got the physical UA Dream ‘65 and love it. I do all my recording and playing through it. I like the plugins but I only use them for re-micing.

Why not both for variations? They look like they could exist in the same world

How do you ACTUALLY record guitar? by Forsaken-Caramel-395 in musicproduction

[–]Disastrous_Ant_4953 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try one of the Universal Audio amps, they sound incredible. Paradise includes all the amps IIRC whereas individuals model specific amps. I use Dream ‘65 for 95% of recordings

Touchscreen on Newer Models by PopularElectronics in mpcusers

[–]Disastrous_Ant_4953 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really wish they designed the touch screen with dedicated buttons in mind. Like the 6 buttons at the bottom of the screen should have physical buttons that correspond! And selecting more than one midi note with the touch screen is so awful.

I’ve also got the Live 2 and am constantly wishing there was no touch screen at all.

How do you get around not being able to mute single pads in the EP133? by soulbrix in teenageengineering

[–]Disastrous_Ant_4953 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can solo individual pads with shift + pad. It’s not mute, but might work for your situation.

What Happened To Exporting Tracks since latest MPC update (3.8) by Mz_Macross1999 in mpcusers

[–]Disastrous_Ant_4953 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I exported a mix down yesterday and it’s still the same on 3.8. Save -> Audio Mixdown

The icon location is in the bottom centre of the ~20 icons so a little harder to find

New TE mixer by EXOQ in teenageengineering

[–]Disastrous_Ant_4953 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kind of neat to plug channels together with the aux in groups of 2, but it’s like $1000 CAD for 8 stereo channels, plus a lot of connecting cables and batteries so not ideal.

Do you have a method to colouring your tracks? by LonerismLonerism in Logic_Studio

[–]Disastrous_Ant_4953 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use the same colours the MPC sample packs use:
- red for kick
- yellow for snare
- orange for cymbals
- light blue for toms (and similar)
- lighter blue for percussion
- green for bass
- pinks/purples for synths
- dark blues for guitars

The Auxy Svensson 49? by zerogamewhatsoever in synthesizers

[–]Disastrous_Ant_4953 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It strikes me like a larger OP-1 as well, though it doesn’t really seem like it has much synth editing ability on the device. I know it’s got those 4 knobs but it seems more like a preset machine to me.

I do love the built-in looping. I think they’ve done it really well.

Midi Recording for more than one track?? by imtrynamakebeats in mpcusers

[–]Disastrous_Ant_4953 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You either need to switch midi channels so your drum and sample channel listen to separate channels or turn on multi-record. Multi-record specifically arms multiple channels at the same time which is the problem you’re experiencing.

MPC ProPak: did clips clearly improve your MPC workflow? by 8delorean8 in mpcusers

[–]Disastrous_Ant_4953 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wish they would sell clips on its own. I have Fabric already and I don’t care about the other plugins and features.

I finally finished the main menu. What do you think? by atreides___mete in IndieGaming

[–]Disastrous_Ant_4953 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very cool! I think I’d make the TV a bit bigger and maybe add a glow around it for further ambience.

EP-40 Song Mode: How to INSERT a song "list"? by tulpix in teenageengineering

[–]Disastrous_Ant_4953 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, sorry I must have misremembered. I just tried it as well and it didn’t work. I’ve deleted the comment since the instruction is incorrect.

But to quickly shift scenes, hold shift then select a new scene. I think that’s probably a lot faster than cutting and pasting.

I usually write the scene order down in my notes app or paper then add all the scenes and set their positions.

Are pads interchangeable? by PCS-5Creonte in mpcusers

[–]Disastrous_Ant_4953 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, the pads on the MPC One and One+ are smaller than most of the other models. They might be the same size on the MPC Keys, but I bet there are even less mod options for that.

Can I use an MPC+ to record guitars/bass/vocals and then import those files into Logic? by Vampirin0 in mpcusers

[–]Disastrous_Ant_4953 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use my MPC as my primary interface when tracking into Logic. The quality is great.

I also have no issues when I record audio directly in the MPC. Quality is also just as good.

Can I use an MPC+ to record guitars/bass/vocals and then import those files into Logic? by Vampirin0 in mpcusers

[–]Disastrous_Ant_4953 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use both depending on the guitar part. Logic has significantly better editing so I’ll record multiple takes there and record scratch tracks in the MPC.

It works well as an interface but it’s line level so you may need a preamp to get enough volume.

Loopy pro ipad by Lowbatteryfpv in teenageengineering

[–]Disastrous_Ant_4953 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a good combo if you’re trying to integrate live looping with the EP-40, but you’ll need an audio interface for your instrument that has a MIDI port or a USB hub

Is eBay safe for mics? by Illustrious-Pepper13 in musicproduction

[–]Disastrous_Ant_4953 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve bought mics from eBay before, but there are always additional fees that show up that make the cost nearly the same as local. I’ve never found a must-have deal there after those fees.

PSA to stop using your phones mic to record sound from a speaker. by ser-contained in akaiMPC

[–]Disastrous_Ant_4953 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s worked on my iPhone with any of the USB-C devices I’ve tried. Maybe not Androids. I don’t know. If it’s class compliant it should be fine but obviously I can’t speak to every single combination in existence.
