I was thinking of selling my Live2 as I'm not finding the workflow very intuitive, for me personally.
But after spending all day trying to find and then testing several Auto Sampling apps that just don't work, I simply cannot praise your MPC Bible enough for showing me how to use this feature!!!

There are some areas that could be very slightly improved, but mainly just a little less waffle, not that there's much of that tbh. But, still, I followed your guide to Auto Sample my Electribe as a quick test to see how things work and how good the Live2 is at both Auto Sampling and how good the results are... Brilliant! I achieved excellent results in about 45 mins or so.

I followed the Hardware Auto Sampling tutorial and then went back to the VST one, that explains more of the actual settings and it was really easy to follow, without questioning anything or having doubts about what I was doing was right. Expertly written and very clear!

It's that good that I may actually keep my Live2 now, so, thank you MPC Tutor for the amazing manual. :worthy:

Thanks. I did notice they didn't change unless a project was loaded. I think these settings should be saved with a project. And possibly have a clip list of names. I had to retype 'EMX - (osc type)' about 250 times!!!

The MPC Bible is well worth buying for anyone new to MPC's. My only real problem is that I would prefer a more concise instruction without the tutorial side. I found I had to translate it to what I was doing. But that's really just my personal opinion and it didn't really make things difficult to grasp what I was doing at any point. Everything is explained as you go along. Like I said, I can't praise it enough, thank you for making this guide.
