great tutorial on sub mixes and the best at it!
That.was so sick I just threw in my mouth a little. I’ve been looking for this on my MPC One since I got it 2 months ago. I didn’t realize that I could use the submix like an Aux track in Pro Tools or a folder in Reaper. As usual, thank you. All hail Da Kang!
Crystal clear tutorials as always bro. Many thanks
Peace
This is brilliant thanks for the vid. Struggling with drums and this is really helpful. Much appreciated
Thanks for that, I totally forgot about the submix feature on the last update. You can now fully produce a track in the MPC Software now, mastering is done with plugins anyways so I think the MPC has come full circle now. Well done👊
Glad to help out. Akai has come along way but they aren't done yet. Watch out for what's coming. It will shock everyone. 👍🏾
@@DaDrankKang hey quick question do you have a mixing template for the mpc
I needed this refresher badly.
🙏🏾
Great video...I never messed with sub mixes yet.. it now I’m going to every trip..
Good look
Dope!! I needed to know this!! Just made my best mix so far. 💪🏾💯
Glad I could help! Personal Help Session are always available. That's how most of these guys super charge their beat making. 👍🏾 link is always in video description of newer videos.
Excellent 💯 I've had a hard time understanding sub mixes, I'm definitely going to have to try this out, great e on the video too.
Yeah man it's crazy what submixes can do. 👍
@@DaDrankKang can't wait to get home and try. It's really a game-changer that's been overlooked. For real though thanks for making this 💯
This vid is a gem right here. Salute Kang!
Thanks again for dope tips.
always glad to help out!💯
Thanks a lot. This a good video to introduce submix theory. Especially for a nubee to MPC, like myself.
omg thanks bro I've learned so much from your videos some times I watch them back for days and then I practice, thank you
Thanks for this tip 🙏
Wow! That's a nice trick 💯💯💯💯
Excellent tip fam. Thank you.
Man im thinking of buying that EQuality it seems so easy one to use.
Nothing special about this EQ. The reason I use it is to show you guys that you can do amazing things with any EQ.
@@DaDrankKang Oh okey man. I have mpc touch but it seems i cant find any eq.
@@dubwizezt really... I just went on Google and typed in "free EQ plugins" and about 35 of them just came up. lol! I can just imagine if you were willing to pay for one you would probably have more options. Search my man... never say "can't"... That's a bad habit you don't want to pick up. There is ALWAYS A WAY. 👍
@@DaDrankKang Oh man thnx! I will DO it!
Great video fam
Very helpful tip. Thank you brother!
Always on Point! Thank you.
Thanks this is informative
🔥💯🔥
Thanks bro....always on point
Thanks for the feedback 💯 🙏🏽
Thanks this will help me more on my mixing.
Always Wit That 🔥✊🏽
Thanks my man 🙏🏽
Nice 👍🏾
much respect on this. thank you.
Makes sense
U Cleared it up 4 me good video bro
Nice video as always!
Much thanks 🙏🏽
Nice Vid Bro!!! #Salute...👑✨👑
Much thanks 💯
Dope
Just a question, why not Eq your sounds through pads inserts? And get them sounding how you want through your program output? I usually use submixes when i stack drum samples, 3 different kicks or snares and each one getting their own bus channel for eq and compression.
Thaankss mann!!
This excellent information. I do have a question, how do you export the submix? I explode the tracks however the submix doesn't get batched in with the wave files.
Bump
Nice 👍 tips bro
thanks my man
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank you for your knowledge
Always glad to help out. 🙏🏾
I have a MPC X, when I’m using with the computer where is the instruments when the MPC X is stand alone mode?
@@BIGKLEE same place. You just wont have your VSTs in standalone mode. VSTs are on your computer... standalone mode means you are not using your computer.
And to think. I spent 20,000 to go to school to learn this .. wished this was around.
Just a cash scheme man. They tried to get me for a 100,000. Lol
Thank you king bless up
Thank you
Glad to help out 🙏🏽
Thumbs up!!!!!
Much appreciated 🙏🏽
big thx 🙏🏼
Thx for the feedback 💯
thanks
Salute
This helped me out a lot.
Glad I can help. 👍
👍🏾
I liked how the Daw showed the graphic EQ it made it easy to see all the separate frequencies. Is there any think like that in standalone mode. And if not which would recommend using if mixing in standalone mode?
You will love the video coming if you like this one. 👍 stand alone mode is only for what's in the machine not the software. So the EQ you saw here won't work. Only the EQs in the machine will work which are not linear like this one. Linear means the graph type EQs. I don't use stand alone mode with the MPC x. didn't pay this much money to use stand alone. I have other older MPCs for that. I paid to use the software. 👍
Ok I’m really looking forward to seeing what you will have that does the same thing In Standalone mode can’t wait to see! Thanks for replying
How can I get a graphic eq like the one you were using?
I've been trying this a little bit and I notice an improvement. However my snares aren't real punchy. Would. It be wise to submix the snare on its own or just eq? Thanks again!
Off subject Question! The metronome in mpc essentials isant hitting on measure. It was but now it is not. It's only doing this in this one project not in any other project. Ive never experienced a metronome off beat before. Do you have any advice for this strange issue? PS I record at a very low latency always have (16 Samples "0.4ms") So I know it is not latency.
On the mpc x there is a knob that off sets the entire beat. I used to accidentally nudge it when I work fast. I don't know where is on your particular unit as I don't have essentials. I'll do some research and try and find it.
Da Drank Kang awesome man thank you! Also I am using the same software you have there! Im new to it which is why i thought it was essentials. Ive picked up pretty quick with the help from your videos!
@@DaDrankKang I figured it out. It was Izotope Ozone 8's Maximizer "Transient Emphasis" , I had it on the master track and thats what was causing the metronome to be offbeat. Strange stuff man!
Is that eq plug in included in the MPC software ?
No it's not. Check out "DMG Audio" for this particular EQ
Check out plugin boutique they always have good deals
I’m super late on this but when you say you mix into your Daw, can you do that inside Mpc software or do you have to send it somewhere else like Logic or ableton??
Can I do this in standalone mode? I have a Conga program that I have the conga set in 4 different banks , bank A dry sound of the low and hi conga ,Bank B the same set for ambience and Over head mic's in bank C . I want to send bank B and C to the subs channels so I can give any amount of ambience and over head to the dry sound. Thank you
After you finish the project with the static mix and the sub mixes in the MPC how do you export the stems to the daw? "dry" or with all the processing you have already done and just continue on the daw from where you stopped?
Makes no sense to static mix if I'm going to start all over again when I export. The static mix is where you start your final mix.
@@DaDrankKang Thanks Kang, and sorry for my OCD 😁
And how do you change the key of the 808
The Keygroup feature puts your 808 in key. Or VSTs have 808s that will match the pad perform feature. 👍
You can put the 808 sample on a piano roll and then use the pad perform. Hit me up on gram if ya need me to explain further it was a little confusing for me when I was tryna figure it out ✊🏽✊🏽@mike_craftsman
how to use the tape stop on the submix?
How do you get your 808s to match they key of the song if you don’t know the key
If you don't know the key of your song then you can always use your ear to match the sound. But you should always know the key of any project you are working on.
I think you mean you don't know the key of the 808, right? You may have heard this before, but the best and easiest way is the old-fashioned way. Compare the 808 to a keygroup like a piano. Pitch the 808 up an octave or 2 to make the pitch easier to hear. (12 semitones is 1 octave).
Or just use a different 808 that's labeled. You can find free samples tons of places online if money is an obstacle.
But when I went to export it my kick drum didn't travel along 😂
What is g clip?
It's a "soft clipper" plugin. Soft clipper plugins are used to keep your track from crossing a certain volume level or "clipping" without turning down the sound. It will also add a punch to your sound without turning the volume up. It's like a limiter without making the track louder. 👍🏾
All that eq work can be done within the pad on the sound itself.
Seems a waste of a submix channel.
Thanks for the step by step though
I think you missed the point of the video. But thanks for watching. 👍🏾
I think the idea is to do both. Get the sound where you want then when things start piling up in the mix and blending together start dialing everything in. Thats how I learned it too. Everything has to have its space in the mix. Quality makes quality and garbage in garbage out etc...
I thought so at first too...But, instead of throwing effects on every pad individually, taking up resources, and time, you can apply them once to all, minus what you don’t want to affect
@@DaDrankKang Sorry bro, I wasn’t throwing shade, I was thinking more of flattening pads once they sound right. But there’s definitely a use for it, appreciate the content.
When someone corrects me i try not to ever think its bad. That is my advice to you. If someone corrects you there is no need for an apology. And there is no need to feel you said something wrong. You just learn. Thats all. 👍🏾
Lost all my data can you help me out with some sample packs ?
DaDrankKang.com my kits are here 👍
Hey this is Wizz form NYC what do you mean you lost all of your data ? Are you talking about your personal sample packs are the stock sounds what MPC do you have ?
@@brooknonbeatz3670 what's up I'm working with the X .. yea I lost all of my personal expansion packs along with some of the sound that came provided with the mpc definitely lost the sound from the package that akai released some months ago I lost the information to my ilok account and they basically said I was screwed
@@famjoyentertain8904 you aren't screwed. You can go to the akai website for the original sounds that came with your mpc. They have all the software sound disc for you to download. Your MPC must be registered to access these downloads.
What's the return for?!
FX tracks bro... send your track signal through and youll get the Fx Loaded in return.
And that means without affecting your main audio. Youll get an extra track with the Fx only.
