Hey everyone, I’m a newbie to MPC and I’m having a bit of a problem. Whenever I try to record a melody, whether it’s using pads to play samples or playing live with my Akai keyboard’s piano plugin, the recorded track sounds like a robot. It doesn’t have any swing, and it repeats the notes in a robotic way. Each note is played exactly on the beat, without any natural phrasing. I’m sure there’s something that’s turned on to “automate my melody,” but I can’t figure out what it is. Can anyone help me out?
Can you help?
