Does anyone here do "trap edm remixes" with the Live. If so can I please ask you more questions. Is there tips/ steps tutorials on how this can be done. Like full on 16 bar intro intro and 16 build with vocals. and then a mean dark trap drop with the same vocals chopped....

Here would be an example of what I mean by trap edm....


My process usually with FL is to get vocal sample sync it to project tempo.
Create intro and build along with aligned Vocals.
In MPC Can I do the same thing?

I am having trouble syncing Vocals? - Can someone answer this for me please.

I am having trouble sequencing without able to see full songs like playlist in FL? Is there a work around for this.

Im just having trouble really focusing on the work flow on how to do this.

Thanks in advance for any links or tutorials or answers given.

Pretty lost here. It sounds easy in theory but once I turn on the MPC Live I get overwhelmed with the process...

Yes. You could even make a cheap porno flick soundtrack with the MPClive.

Need some help?
Here is the manual. Check it out.

Get familiar with the live. That's the best way to learn. Once you have the can's and can't do's and the know how's figured out. Then start trying to pump out the shit you're into. You can find all kinds of videos on youtube that can help as well. MPCHEAD has some good videos with the live.

I can’t find the video but Andy from Akai had Brandy acapellas playing as clip programs while he made the original drums etc in regular drum programs,


Maybe you can put the vocal samples on audio tracks or clips and time stretch/cue until you get your desired timing.

You can go into the clips and edit them, moving the wav form, shrinking, stretching etc.

Thanks for checking it out. I appreciate it. :smoker:

You check out MPCHEAD on youtube? If I had a live I would be watching a lot of his videos.

I wouldn't recommend the MPC for this. Its a square peg small enough to fit into the round hole, but it will do a poor job of fitting. Speaking from a primarily stand-alone space, it does a terrible job of arranging, especially comapred to FL Studio, its memory issues will become prevailent VERY quickly as well, I wouldn't be shocked if a long intro heavy in FX wouldn't crush the MPC by itself. You'd be best off sticking with FL Studio, and investing the money into a laptop.

And I'm not saying you "can't".
