Using the MPC Studio with Ableton Live

I need some help on using and syncing the MPC Studio with Ableton Live. Lately I've been using the standalone by itself, but i would like to migrate over to Ableton. What settings do i have to change so that I can track out each of my individual tracks within the MPC Software to Ableton? I'd like to be able to record directly into Ableton based on whatever the MPC is playing in real-time if possible.

sup shon

i got ableton 9 live too!

go to youtube
and look up mpc with ableton or ableon with vice versa and they got some vids there showing you what to do

wHy Don t You just load the mpc plugin?

I had trouble the first time i attempted to follow the video but i will try again. Thank you

mos def shon. let me know..

cuz i havent really tried it yet.

what do you use ableton for?

ive only used it a bit but mainly using it for vocal tracks

seems pretty hard to me

do you got to ableton forums or anything?

I was going to use ableton for mixdown but mpc software seems to hold its own pretty well. Once Akai includes audio tracks and improves the mixer workflow even more then its game over

Glad I came across this, I was going to ask why so many people decide to get a mpc studio/Ren then get an additional DAW when the MPC software does pretty much the same(from what I can see)

Whats so bad about the MPC software for everyone to want to use Ableton,cubase,FL etc?

i cant say exactly.

ive asked that question too.

mpc seems like it can doo a decent job at mixing.

i messed a bit with ableton and its prety crazy and hard to learn. but it does give you more control over the mix.

i mainly use ableton to record my vocals on it.. and try to mix/master the final track.

according to peeps here mpc isnt getting any voice tracks anytime soon ;(

So Ive been doing a bit of research. for what i undersrtand, the MPC software does let you record but in a more dificult way, whereas other DAW's can record on a audio track -I think

If I do get another DAW it would just be for vocals

yea you can record vocals if you absolutely have too.

i know. i did it a few times. but you gota do mad work arounds.

daw's have audio tracks so you can play the beat and just record the vocals ;D

DAWs are better for a lot of things, the main thing is that they support VSTs better and allow for more sophisticated audio routing, which lets you do things like sidechain compression, unlimited buses for FX, unlimited FX support per track.

Also there is nothing 'wrong' with the mpc mixer, per se, but it's a little convoluted and doesn't have as good useability as most DAWS (a lot of little things, like ctrl clicking different tracks then applying pan/vol changes across all of them, colouring them differently, hiding them, disabling master send, easy and quick changes to send/receive volumes, drag n drop fx capability).

And when you bounce tracks down to audio you can achieve a lot of edits that are difficult/impossible on mpc software by directly clipping/copying/shifting waveform positions, using lfo generators on automation lanes, copy pasting automation, perform sophisticated crossfades, reverse the audio of sequences, plenty more.

most of that stuff doesn't belong in the mpc software, it would clutter it and make it less effective at quickly laying down tracks. for this reason i'll continue to use it paired up with a DAW, with audio routed from the mpc software into the DAW.

damn u dods.
i wish i was as knowledgeable as you..

you use ab ton?

reaper was it?

reguardless ;(
