@TheSinghFIRE Definitely. For audio editing and sequencing I find Pro Tools the easiest. It's what I'm used to tho. Ableton also is very user friendly, also works well when syncing the MPC. Pro Tools is the final stage for a lot of people. There are many "professional" aspects to pro tools that you won't find in an Ableton or Reason(Record) for instance. Bottom line. Use what your fastest with. & Learn your shortcuts.
Excellent video. I'm trying to sync my Motif XS keyboard to Logic and this was a very useful video..How are you able to do a multri track recording? Have you set your MPC tracks to multiple outputs? Im confused :(. My question is - You have tracked out drums, bass, keys and some lead on the MPC. How do these come out on different tracks in Protools? Please help and thanks again for this information! :)
@rjk1482 check the beat making video I replied there also. but for multi track recording I do use the multiple outs from the mpc and the motif into my soundcard. each output from the mpc and motif has its own input on my soundcard. for drumz sometimes mono and sometimes stereo depending on the source(keys, poly synths). you need a multi input soundcard. inbox me if you need suggestions.
would i be able to record 8 mono tracks at once? do they have to be stereo? lets say i wanted all 8 outputs sending signal to pro tools. and each 1 had its own sound/sample, would it work to send all 8 out and assign inputs 1-8 in pro tools
I got mine working but, the click always gets off, and I have the same tempo. MPC is following PT8 but the clicks must be different feel or something.
I keep two bars blank to insure that there's a lot of time for Pro Tools and the MPC to sync up through Midi Time Code. When syncing 2 sequencers it's always good to have blank bars before the actual start of the track/song, easier for the 2 machines to communicate. Thanks for watching!
@kneticmusic i just got an mpc 2500, and i'm trying 2 insert the 2 blank bars in the begining, tho i know how to do so, i notice, your loop only plays bar 3 and 4. i'm trying 2 figure out how 2 do that without it looping all the way back 2 bar 1 on the mpc.?
@dustindef ....sometimes the timing is slightly off. Pre roll is set to 2 bars so the the software can make the necessary corrections. The 2 bars is sufficient because PT makes corrections rather fast.......it's safe that way.
I run protools 7.3 this doesnt seem to work... any help?

@kneticmusic do you think the same applies for logic?

hey why do you keep two bars blank when you can just set the count in function?
