need software mpc like
so i have a midi fighter clone (works the same + 4 knobs on tob)
id like to find a software that i could use the midi fighter like a mpc, play samples loop em to make a live beat without being too complicated is it possible?
What’s your DAW?
what is daw ?
Digital Audio Workstation
Closest you can get to the MPC workflow (sample chopping, etc) is Maschine, but that would defeat the purpose of a MF clone.
If you only want to use it to play samples live, get a Lite version of Ableton or use any Drum Sampler standalone player (or plugin hosted in a DAW).
how I mine for fish?
I have tried abletonand just find it impossible too understand lol, curently i use fl studio with fpc but i cqnt get to to recording samples without stoping pressing record, then record amd play it, i want to record and without stoping then play it and sample over it
If you want to
Then you want to use ableton. Watch a few tutorials online or find a friend who uses it, it’s a bit of a steep learning curve but that’s what you’ll want to use.
Do you have any video tutorials on youtube you can refer?
just search Ableton on youtube. Once you find someone doing a tutorial that you can understand watch the rest of their tutorials.
and start by searching ‘ableton beginner’ or something to make sure you don’t dive right in at the deep end with advanced compression use or something.
if you just want a drum machine styled software to play and you’re not interested in recording audio tracks then look into MOTU’s BPM or FXpansion’s Geist.
they are nowhere near as powerful as ableton but much faster to learn and they operate as plugins so you can move them into ableton later and not lose your beats.
production technique & info can be a lot to take in all at once, its probably best learned in phases.
BPM and Geist can both loop while playing and recording, BPM has a dongle though so watch out if you dont want one of those.
There’s a few tutorials on Youtube. Search for “impulse”. I believe that’s the best way to do 'em live.
hope that helps!
FXPansion GURU has always been the best MPC emulation IMO, I’ve used it for years and it is very intuitive.
It looks like they’ve replaced it with GEIST…
which is probably very similar.
