Image line is doing really well right now. When all these DAWs go subscription I know I will still have FL.
I thought I was crazy man woke up 1 day and my Akai force was synced to FL...🙌🏾
Man you just helped me solve the mystery on how to use Fl & my MPC’s in a SIMPLER way! Thank you!
Thank you for giving us the cheat code and explaining in detail how to set this all up. Electra with the MPC gonna be crazy!
🔥
You are seriously making me consider buying a MPC. These videos are great.
Thanks I was hoping you did a video to this. You the 🐐 4real
This is a major improvement. Exactly what I need for my workflow. Maschine had this already but I'm way more familiar with FL. MAJOR improvement.
My boy did it!! 👏🏿👏🏿
I don’t think I even understand what’s going on here but it’s dope
😂😂 that look you gave in the beginning when it crashed! I hollered! 😂😂😂
It’s about to get crazy
Thats also a pretty good method for autosampling VSTs or Kontakt libraries with your MPC, if you have FL. For when you plan to leave the studio with your Live or just work in standalone. That audiofuse studio is a solid piece of kit too. I like.
I honestly took it for granted that basically every DAW had a feature for integrating hardware. Glad the FL crew can do it, now, too! This is how I have my S2400 set up and it's great.
That Was Very Detailed In The Best Way Possible... TIME TO GET DEM MIDI CABLES, Lol 👍🏽👍🏽🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥❗
This is great news, it sucks FL is just now catching up. But better late than never. Also love the way you explain stuff, very thorough.
Man I was just wondering about all of this stuff including the kontakt 7 missing in MPC software, I knew there was a way to record FL Studio since I did it a while ago but the midi external sync is a god send. I wanted to for years just press play/start and record no problem back and forth with FL Studio and now they finally got it right, thanks Ave
Audio interface with MIDI IN/OUT is definitely the way to go with an MPC. Save yourself the trouble😂.
You got a tutorial on how to do that 👀
@@astonzoyldyk9124 Not really, I tried the other methods Ave mentions and finally ended up getting a cheap audio interface and it was the most plug n play option for me personally. Just run the midi cables in reverse from MPC to interface (IN to OUT and OUT to IN), flip the clock sync switch on the MPC and then set the external sync in FL's MIDI settings to your interface and boom - it should work. Good luck
I literally do the same process in Ableton with my 2500. Very effective 👍🏾💯
I'm not a FL Studio user, but this update brings a lot of cool features. Snap to scale, combined with key signature markers, is one of those features I was waiting for in any DAW. This is the stuff that soulful chord progressions are made of!
Hell yeah it’s fun to do this
Yeah, been waiting for those features forever. But I tried switching from logic to fl for these, but the Mac version crashed 5 times in my first hour, so I gave up, and hope apple will catch up
@AveMcree Is there a way to have this exact same setup with an mpc one, and a Focusrite clarett 2pre audio interface?
This is dope af! Don’t have to use the software plugin inside fl studio anymore.
My experiences...You are able to do the same things with Ableton and Studio One...the Midi clock is the key. Could do the same with the Fantom by itself too. Just gotta find the settings that give instructions to make it clip based, or linear so it'll loop properly. I usually bring things into the MPC like record the Daw notes over midi, instead of bothering with a .mid file. Like sometimes literally pencil everything in and then put the midi out to the MPC. It'll be receiving all that midi data as if it's being played live. That way I could change the notation of the instrument/plugin source after its been recorded into the MPC.
Record your audio inputs just as backup too. You not gonna always feel like switching cables around just to play a project you did a while ago.
Thanks Ave. Just ordered my Arturia AudioFuse Studio USB Audio Interface, this is what I needed. Now if we can get FL to record like Pro Tools and have a easier way of side chaining. It will be the sh!t
Thanks!
I am one happy FL lady. This update is great
I didn’t know you used fl studio
Yess!!!
love:)
this is insane
Dope video as always. I used to run MPC Beats inside FL Studio and it would crash all the time just like you said. But that was back in April of last year before FL 21 Update. So now with the update, do you still set MPC Beats to the FL Sudio ASIO, even though you have that Universal Audio Interface?
I'm glad they finally integrated this stuff better, but holy shit, that seems convoluted as hell for an official feature
If you're on Mac, the Audio Units version of Komplete SHOULD work in the MPC
As always, you're very insightful. However, that's a lot to do just to be hybrid. I wonder what it would take to be perfectly integrated. Until then, I guess I'll just use both separate.
Fire
Fl studio and akai force would be nice
I think I just sent a super thanks, If I didnt let me know so I can resend it. I need the setup info. I have everything you do but there is a problem getting the reamp feature to work
i got a roland sh-4d. its perfect with fruityloops and a little flkeys.
Could you in theory use an MPC Ren as the audio interface for the MPC live 2 and use its MIDI in/out that way?
Hi! Thanks for this really useful. Can you help me to find another audio interface which would allow me to record signal from fl into Mpc? So the only way is to look for the one which has Aux i/o correct? Can u recommend some other ones? Thanks!
I got to try out fl studio 21. I've been using fl studio 10 for 12 years and now it's time to upgrade
Buy once & upgrade for life
it been time to upgrade bro lol you been missin out not gon lie
Been pass that phase 2015 definitely update bro 😂😂
Yeah man, get that ASAP. Once you get it, you'll get lifetime updates. Game changer
I ditched ableton and now move with FL and mpc vst with / mpc studio. Never made beats so efficiently🎉. After all the talk about converters the MPC still hits the hardest vs other DAWs I think they may have snuck a limiter in somewhere like FL used to but who knows, it’s more transient for sure.
I now have no reason not to get a sp now. 🤷🏽 Thank you for explaining all this. 💜✌🏼✊🏼
You are so welcome!
Legit made me pull the trigger too.
How can you use the hype plug in with the mpc but as not the mpc as main controller..any suggestions?? Pls😊
I’m trying to record in, i see the waveform in the mixer from my MPC but it’s not recording anything. Using the VOLT audio interface
Hope you see this Ave! (love the explanation of the update) If you used the boss midi cable into the sp404mk2 as an audio interface will this work the same?
Midi from mpc one that is
yes@@solazul8015
@@AveMcree True hero
I’m never using Mpc daw again… love it got my first placements I’m done with it now tho… after this mew and my mpc one are fl 4 life lol
Is there a way to have this exact same setup with an mpc one, and a Focusrite clarett 2pre audio interface?
Can you use pad perform this way? Load the kontakt in fl studio but use the MPC pad perform to record the midi ?
I'm using Linux so I'm stuck with Bitwig or Bandlab but thanks for the info.
Great, but will this work with a Akai Force
Hello thanks for this video, so can you help me please? Owner of a Maschine MK3 that I use with Ableton, I have just acquired an MPC ONE + and as a result I have not yet found a way to adapt these two machines to my Workflow, that is to say the use them together in the same Workflow inside Ableton, so I just saw that you also use these two machines so I would like to have some advice on how to use them together in a creative process. for the moment what I do is sample with MPC ONE + via MPC 2, export and then import the sample into an Ableton session then there I use maschine for the drums (because I have a lot more expansions on maschine and I know them better) so what advice can you give me?
I just use the studio black mpc as a controller
Is there away now to get better quality or wht not ?
Is there a way to have pads be on poly and hold for the same sample?
Yo Ave why does my FL studio freeze or act glitchy when i use MPC as a DAW? It only works when i use blue cat audio patchwork? It loads the vst fine but it makes my fl act weird
What's going on Ave! I wanted to give you a shoutout. You got me into the Akai MPCs after i just had purchased the MK3 lol. My MPC One + will be here on Monday and I just had a quick question.
I've been FL Gang since I've been 17 and switching over will be a little hurdle but i'm looking for some assistance. I am looking to purchase a new audio interface and replace my Scarlet 2i2. I was looking at the Universal Audio Apollo Twin UAD 2 Solo Core Thunderbolt but there was no option for MIDI but I know its one of the best Audio Interfaces out there.
I looked up the one you use but when looking at the MIDI in and out it didn't match up with the ports on the MPC One +.
Can you help me with the right choice that would be great?
I did some more research and there seems to be another cable which is the breakout cable that allows for the midi as you use your workflow. Would you say the UA Volt 276 is the best option for MIDI in my case or is there a way I can have both the MIDI on the Apollo Twin?
I wish Polyend would do an update for the tracker that would have software for the tracker, would be pretty cool but doubt they do that lol I don’t have or use mpc 😢
you can use the polyend tracker with fl studio
NOW YOU REALLY NEED TO GET A REAL....CLASSIC MPC.
I thought the point was dawless? In that case why not just use ableton push
Recently when I’ve been reopening saved beats the track volume has been random and my tail lengths all zeroed what’s happening?
will Fl studio sync to another instance on a separate computer? I am about to try this out.
How would i record my drums if I want to do them track by track?
YES!!!!! That drag and drop midi EXTREMELY IRRATATES ME! I also complained about that and other things you mentioned but that one boils my blood.😡
So i made this happen without the midi cable (network midi) in fl studio but the latency sucks and the rec/play doesn’t work so i guess im gonna have to get a midi adapter cuz the latency suckssss 😅
Will this work with a Mpc1k i assume it would as long as inhave a interface.
Thank you I am now reminded by why I hate AkaiPro. Maybe it's time to go back to the MPC2500 or smth
But now after watching the video I wat an mpc live II
Thanks!
I need help bro! I use Reason as a Daw. I have an scarlet 4i4, mpc live 2, and about 5 guitar pedals. I bought the pedals to add some analog texture to my Melodie’s and samples. I don’t have a mixer but can get one. The Tascam is too much for me right now. Is there anything I can do to incorporate these pedals or add some analog warmth to my drums, Melodie’s etc?
the best way to get a send and return signal is to use the output's 3,4 on the MPC Live 2. Then hook up your guitar inputs 1,2 on the MPC Live 2 with the pedal hooked up. Select the output 1,2 and that should work. Since it's a guitar.. You don't need both outputs or inputs. However the setup get better if you use an external audio interface.
I'm so stressed I'm not even getting sound out of my computer now even when I disconnect my midi cables I'm lost 😔
Wouldn’t it Be Easier To Use The Controller Mode Do All Of your Drums on One Track Explode to Separate Them and Then Drag Them Over To The Playlist?
I was wondering the same thing
You don’t get the sound from the Mpc from doing this.
@@mickjones7308 You Can I do it every day
@@mickjones7308yes you do just select mov x as audio driver and the sound will still come out of your mov outputs
Hey I have the Mpc one and the focusrite 4i4 with Fl studio… Can you explain to me what cords I need for the midi and the output cords, like how do I hear the audio from my Mpc and Fl studio at the same time?? Also how do I set it all up to where I can track my Mpc into Fl studio… Thanks Bro

Question: to actually save anything you did in fl studio you have to send it to the mpc as a sample?
just record the audio into FL Studio & the files will be there.
Hey Ave how would I use the MPC to do Melodie’s ,progressions,etc but with different vsts and adding patterns but doing everything on the pads on the MPC ?
Make a midi track on your MPC and then on the midi program set the midi port to MPC and then you can play vsts with your pads and record notes and automation into FL to get in in the piano roll or record audio into the playlist if you'd like
@@144DVT bro I really really appreciate tht a lot dog man I been trying three days straight trying figure this out and one more thing bro how do I connect the MPC to Fl is it controller mode or using my prosonus interface if so wht kind of jacks I would need bro?
I have the mpc key 61 for 3 weeks i hate that it cannot be used as a midi controller like the mpk61 🤔 i have studio one and reason and I can't even use it with I'm seriously thinking of sending it back
Send it back, get something less locked down
Yo ave on piano roll double click to erase midi notes , add waves studio rack plugin and it will play any vst3s fx on mpc software
Does it? Why’s no one ever done a video on that before, that’s radical if it works.
@@nickpelisante7868 yea that works and they did do a vid on it at Akai website mpc beats tutorials a lot of people dnt like the mpc software but I think it's vry good mpc beats free check it out
Kontakt player isn't an effect & we shouldn't have to use 3rd party software anyways. Every other DAW supports VST3 instruments including Maschine (which is their competition).
@@AveMcree true that
AKAI suspending your account actually has me crying! I criticized something when I had a beta version of MPC software a long time ago and they never gave me the chance to test anything ever again lol
Does FL have Ableton link?
trust me broski nothing is more complicated than working with reaper this is nothing lol
I need help bro! I use Reason as a Daw. I have an scarlet 4i4, mpc live 2, and about 5 guitar pedals. I bought the pedals to add some analog texture to my Melodie’s and samples. I don’t have a mixer but can get one. The Tascam is too much for me right now. Is there anything I can do to incorporate these pedals or add some analog warmth to my drums, Melodie’s etc? $10 thanks above 👆🏿☝️
I am having trouble with my set up. I have an MPCOne, MIDI cables coming going out of MPC and into a m-audio m track and out of the m-audio back into MPC. I am setting up via your instructions but when I hit play it just stops and shows the incorrect bpm in flstudio. The settings just show m-track in flstudio.
Did you select you m-track in fl studio? Did you select the m-track asio drivers? Did you put the midi cable in the midi out of the mpc? Did you put the other side of the cable into the midi in port on your m-track?
@@AveMcree selected m-track at the bottom of MIDI settings in FL. MIDI cable is going out from MPC to in on m-track and another cable is going out from m-track back into MPC. As far as the drivers, m-track ASIO is not showing up. I have ASIO4ALL selected and within that, m-track is selected. How would I get m-track ASIO drivers to show?
@@christopherosborne8586 by installing those drivers from the respect brand. Also, you didn't confirm if the MIDI cable is running from the "MIDI out" of the MPC to the "MIDI in" of the Interface.
@@AveMcree yes I have a midi cable going from the out of the MPC to the in of the m-track. And another midi cable going from the out of the mtrack to the in of the MPC.
@@AveMcree ok I was able to get it to sync the bpm after installing the driver. One more question and I should be good to go: I have my sound set up to where it’s coming out of the headphone Jack on the m-track. How are you getting your drums/sound from the MPC and FL to come out of the same speakers?
When you record your drums tho it’s only an audio file so you won’t really be able to edit it much in fl. That’s not that great.
Say it with me: See-kwen-sir = sequencer
Why don't you just use mpc in controller mode inside of fl?
That's what I do with Reason. I've been doing that for 6 years now. Best sounding stuff I've made yet.
And some made fun of that using both together
This all Ea was saying bro bro
Why not just add the mpc vat inside of fl and use it in controller then u can just explode your tracks and drag them into playlist. Just set your audio driver to mpc and it will use the mpc output audio????? Wouldn't that me a whole lot easier less stressful and better way? Why wouldn't it be?
hello everybody, can someone give me some advices to set up my Akai force as midi controller for fl studio and all my sounds and plugins in ... I only one my Force since a week now !!! sorry !!! 🤣🤣🤣
Mpc Software being this shit is why I went with Maschine 😂 😂
How can I sample back into my MPC without the reamp feature?
Figured it out, using the headphone out from my interface into my inputs on my MPC
Usually you would just use outputs from your interface to the inputs of your MPC. If you plugged into say inputs 1/2 then you gotta make sure the MPC is receiving audio from them. If it's 3/4 in the back make sure you're telling it to receive that input. However if you have no other outputs on your interface besides the main outputs for monitors...then I guess a headphone jack is one way until you need that jack for headphones.
Please explain to me why the reamp feature is of value.
because you can send audio back to the drum sampler
How is that so much different then just using the ins?
@@MegaToneProductions it’s Instrument vs Line level. The Reamp converts the signal. If you have instrument level guitar pedals and you smash them with line level signal it distorts and never ends well for the pedal.
I wish you would use the MPCX so I can follow you better FL gang gang😂😂😂 welcome home😮😮😮
it's the same setup
same sh!t what's not to understand
His videos translate to the X very well because they are pretty much the same exact machine only a different form factor. I have a live 2 and I cookup on the X at the studio I goto
Well, will this work with the MPC OnePlus?
yes
@@AveMcree You convince me to step into the MPC world. I'm not sure what cord to buy. The connection you used look completely different
Can this work with the maschine mirko?
no
@@AveMcree well time to get an mpc 💪🏼
What happened to the last FL video?
deleted due to a dishonest sponsor. I'll update it w/o it & talk about why in a separate video
@@AveMcree that Electra chord progression was sheeeesh 🔥🔥🔥😩
Merci !
Can you use usb too?
USB what?
@@AveMcree like I use usb to connect my Mpc up to my fl. I was wondering if it would sync that way it would use fl as a slave
I’m wondering that too cuz too cuz I connect my MPC x and MODX 6 to my PC via USB. And I hook up speakers to my MPCX for audio.
@@rendilly no
@@AveMcree ok good looking bro 😎
switch to ableton trust me i know DAW doesnt make any difference but its a bit more straight forward than FL
I Do The Same....lol... But You Kno You Can Jus Export The Midi or The Audio File From The MPC To The FL Studio DAW....
p.s. Secrets FroM XxtraSonyXx-The MovieMaker's
Yeah but it’s a bit whonky
word on the third party drivers crashing the software lol man thats hexska funny
Amazing producer content at 126K Subs! All of this hardware/software and you STILL havent fixed your teeth
Using FL Studio in 2023 makes me think you steal petty items.
Hey I need help ! I sent a Suler thanks above
Thanks!
My pleasure
