In this video we initially hear a recorded TR-808 audio loop playing from Ableton Live 8. As before, Live is driving the Sync-Lock via the Sync-Gen Plugin which is in turn driving a genuine TR-808 via Din Sync and an Akai MPC-60 MKI via Midi Clock. I first mute and then un-mute the TR-808 audio loop in Live so you know what it sounds like in isolation. Next I move to the real TR-808 and turn up the master output. I then turn to the MPC-60 and turn up the master output also. On the MPC-60 I hold the [Note Repeat] button and improvise on the Snare and Hi-Hat in quantized 16ths so you can hear the tight sync with both the real TR-808 and the Live audio loops as well. I turn down the real TR-808 for a few bars so you can hear just the MPC-60 and Live playing in sync and then bring the real TR-808 back up again in the mix. Finally, I take out the audio loop playing in Live laving just the TR-808 and the MPC-60 playing until the fade.
