Hello! Relatively new to the MPC Live. But I've been diving headfirst in and really enjoying it. I'm trying to figure out the best way to perform with it. Let me explain the scenario:
I've recorded an album that I am trying to recreate live. So I've created "songs" on the MPC live. Usually 5 or so sequences tied together. I then have a live drummer play along side me. I want to have the track playing as I've set it up in song mode, with a click going to the drummer. While the song is playing in song mode, I will be singing, playing keys, etc...
BUT this is what I'm having trouble with. I ALSO want to trigger one shot samples from the MPC live for that song while it's happening. I like to have the track running out of 1 and 2, and then a group of one shot samples I can hit going out through 3 and 4 into some delay pedals that I can manipulate. That way it feels more like a real performance to me and not just me singing to backing tracks.
What's the best way to do this? Like I said, I have the songs all setup, I just don't know how to incorporate the one shot performance based samples to this work flow. Let me know your ideas, I'd really appreciate it! I like song mode, but I prefer Next Sequence mode as it also feels a bit more performative. Anyway to incorporate next sequence mode with some live pad one shots as well?
