Hi i'm new here, may have 1st concert in the summer and im wondering whether if I want to use my mpc live if I should first mix and master the samples that im going to use and then load them back into the mpc or whether I should rely on the original sound of the samples in the mpc, or if there is any other method of making the sounds sound tight during a live show, any opinions will be appreciated

I do a lot of resampling and i dont think theres a big difference between playing live or recording in a studio, make it sound as tight as possible by any means necessary ;)

Definately mix (if you can get them mastered also then great) your beats then reload them back into the MPC..Thats what I do when I'm preparing to play live..Then from there I create loops and one shots of everything that I want to play..Just figure out what parts of your songs you want to be able to play..Good Luck.. :lol:

Maybe i should add that i work with my mixing desk live, i need the sounds on different outputs. If stereo out is enough go for metaforĀ“s tips
