plug an ethernet cable directly from the prime to the mpc. then plug in the audio cables and enable ableton sync.

Ciao Ragazzi . Ho una mpc akai force 3.3 e una denon prime 4 3.2 collegate via ethernet con ableton link.
Il grande problema e ' che l?akai gira piu' veloce della denon. Come posso risolvere il problema

Hello lads. I have an Akai Force 3.3 MPC and a Denon Prime 4 3.2 connected via ethernet with Ableton Link.
The big problem is that the Akai runs faster than the Denon. How can I solve the problem

Why would you want your Denon Prime 4 and MPC One to do anything with each other? Use the Prime 4 for djing and the MPC One for production. I guess you could play your beats through the AUX of the Prime 4 if it has that, but other than that, I don't see the need?? Clue me in to what you guys are doing with the two.....

Lol producing hip hop! playing doubles adding cuts to the track. turntables are a vital element of hip hop arguably more so than the mpc. Part of the art of hip hop is being able to keep a loop going out of a song using two of the same record. For some of us old schoolers the turntable method pre-dates the mpc. In our case the mpc is used to capture what we fling down on the decks, back beat, scratching etc... ever wonder how dj premier got his sound? Turntables into the MPC. Full clip is a prime example. MPC isnt just for sampling records, its for sampling what you are doing with the records. Hence why so many people have a real brick walled style they just carve direct samples. There is no "tablism".

Why hook a dj controller directly to an MPC? To allow live filtering of the drums and other samples/instruments for one example. If you track out from the MPC you're only able to use the onboard effects on the mixer (if it has any) or within the dj software (serato, virtual dj, etc) obviously it also opens up live performance options beyond filtering.
