    Nice upgrade!I have the Mark I/original APC40 and just now breaking it out for Ableton use. I like the placement of the filter knobs above each channel, rather than all knobs grouped and placed to the right. Still, going to get the benefits out of it, regardless of version :)

    I have just put together a few mixes using this in Ableton, alot more fun than using decks. Only tricky part is the sliders can easily put you in the red.

    • @RDstar75
      @RDstar75 Před 3 lety +4

      you could remap the sliders to make them stop at 0b

    Fantastic review and demo. Is there any way to manually midi-map the stepped tempo encoder to something else (for use with Reaper or other non-Ableton DAWs)? Or can you only user-assign the top 8 encoders? Thanks, Doc!

    Would it be possible to pair this with, say, a Roland A-88 and use it to control a drawbar organ VST or something similar?

  • @garyusinger
    @garyusinger Před 5 lety

    Have you ever had any problems crashing in a live performance using Ableton with the APC 40 in this way? I am thinking about getting the MPC live because I have a fear of a live performance crash.

    I’m not an Ableton user, but that machine looks gorgeous, and has all the stuff ya need right in front of you, No menu diving, thank you. Wonder if now that Logic Pro has the new “Live-ish” feature, maybe Akai or a third party will make a Logic template for APC40, eh?

  • @pietropavan777
    @pietropavan777 Před 3 lety +1

    thanks a lot for this video Doctormix ! Really curious to know where you acquired all those nice loops, are they coming from digital libraries such as splice or loopmasters, or did you sample them yourself or a mix of all this ? just starting to understand ableton and i was thinking to buy the Akai APC40...

    • @marc.lepage
      @marc.lepage Před rokem +1

      I do not know of course, but I would assume since he's a musician who can play, that he made the loops himself?

  • @seantomalty3062
    @seantomalty3062 Před 7 lety +14

    you may want to consider getting to know more about your master. As a live DJ you might be concerned at the clipping of your master. Why don't you leave it at unity gain and put abletons limiter on there? seems like a simple way to avoid huge potential problems. Great video tho

  • @spiritualcramp8000
    @spiritualcramp8000 Před 4 lety

    one question. if i want to add for example at this point (2:50 just to say) a small sample i cut from a song. can i drive it into one of the sliders? and does it automatically set it in sync? or do i have to properly perfectly cut it when i sample it? sorry if this sounds stupid to ask.

  • @ssoweerachaichaibee8754

  • @madmac66

    Just for Ableton Live? Can this be mapped to work with Cubase or a live hardware dawless rig?

  • @ryanbails2424

    • @ashleytvisualstv
      @ashleytvisualstv Před 2 lety

      I use logic as well and thinking about getting this after I watched how to map the apc 20 to Logic , this guy shows step by step how to map it to logic. Hope that helps. 🙏🏽

  • @Liverpool67890
    @Liverpool67890 Před 4 lety +2

    Is there a way to cue up & listen to a sample or section before having it come through the main sound system...
    Much like a DJ would cue up a listen to the next track they’re going to play before adding it into the mix for everyone to hear
    Hope this makes sense
    Many thanks
