Where do most producers nowadays get there drum,bass,hi-hat...samples from?

Do they really work with sample-cds or do they sample from classical vynils?

[TodaysbeatsTV]

@Crazychainsawbaby Hey bro, this is a very very important question, please be sure to tune in to my next tutorial, I reveal all these things, all the secrets professional producers and beat makers hide from most people...called BEAT ESSENTIALS: "Insider Secrets"

[TodaysbeatsTV]

Can it do the note repeat?

[TodaysbeatsTV]

Im working on it now, so far its not working good with Protools, update soon.....

[TripleXBeatz]

you NEED to check the quantize settings in cubase.. you might have it set to AUTO quantize when you record in.. You also need to sync your settings in cubase.. if your mpk49 is set to 1/16th triplet notes you need to ALSO set Cubase to 16th triplets.. IM willing to bet there is NO issues with the MPK49 nor cubase.. just a MIDI setting your missing.

Next time try calling AKAI or STEINBERG support

[Dogboy73]

T, Is the memory on your MPK49 volatile? If I power down my computer then power it back up again (so the MPK49 also powers down then back up) all the settings I have saved are are lost! What's up with that?!

[loonymajic]

Same problem in reason 5 with akai mpk 61 if any body finds the reason behind this please post a video response because this is buggin me lots

[cecomp64]

@TripleXBeatz I have this exact same problem in Logic Pro 9. I only noticed it recently, though I've been using note repeat and the arpeggiator for a while. I don't think it's a quantization issue... I've checked all and rechecked the quantization settings in logic, and I've verified my swing and gate are set straight on the MPK (50 and 50)

Weird thing: there's no offset if I record from the start of the track, but there is offset if I record from some arbitrary point in the middle.

[FiSTFigHT09]

@TodaysbeatsTV did you ever find out what was wrong with the keyboard?.

[dollyme33]
