Greetings! Matthew here today I want to give you a quick tour of my studio desk. Check it out.
Welcome to my video on my studio desk. One of the reasons why I'm
doing this is to show you exactly what I got going on my with my studio desk because
I'm doing a series of videos coming up on creating a song with the MPC Live. So,
basically I'm just going to go in there and start making a song in MPC live and
this way you have reference to how I have everything hooked up.
Okay so this is my desk so you'll see several things on this thing. I'm just gonna go ahead
and say what they are then I'll go into how I have everything connected. This is
my MPC live. Okay, this is my LPK-25 Wireless and then right here I have my
Kaoss Pad. I have my phone which is just monitoring
the video and then I have my microphone for the video here. Just so you know. So I
can get that out of the way. Alright, and then I have my 11 rack right here.
I don't have this powered on currently I'm not using it right now but it's there.
I also have a computer under my desk and the computer is actually connected
to this right here, but, it's not turned on. I'm not gonna use
that for the next few videos. Okay what else do I have.
I'll go ahead and show you what's on this part under here. Basically it's not
connected to anything, but, I have a guitar pedal I might use the guitar I might not
and I had my looper. I'm not going to use that. Okay and then I have my Novation
launch control now this is connected to my MPC Live and I have my Minitaur and
I have my pulse 2, and I have my Blofeld, and then on top of that I have
everything connected into my LiveTrak L12 by Zoom, and I have my headphones ,and
I have two speakers out here. You can see one of them right here.
There's another one on this side, and then I have my computer monitor here.
It's not turned on...as well as my lamp to kind of illuminate this area. Okay so let
me go over the basics on how I have everything routed. So I have my MPC Live
right here this is the main sequencer in my studio, and I have my LPK going into
the MPC live, and I have my Novation Launch Control going to MPC live. Now how
these are connected is through USB cables in the back here, okay, and these
send MIDI messages and MIDI notes into the MPC Live so I can play my
synthesizers. So I can trigger the synthesizers with the pads and this. I could
affect the parameters with this as well, but yeah, that's a different story.
I'll go into that later. So the MPC live has connections in the
back, and the connections in the back are basically the power cable, USB to the
computer, which I'm not using, and then these two USB cables, and I have two MIDI
outs, audio in as well as audio out. The MPC live is sending MIDI notes to my
Minitaur my pulse 2, and my Blofeld. Of course the MPC Live is a sampler so I
could sample my drums into it and sequence them onto there. It is a
(MIDI) sequencer as well so I can sequence all my MIDI messages to go out into my
individual synths here. Okay so now the MPC Live outputs are going into my Zoom
and that's going into 9 and 10 on my Zoom. My Minitaur is going to track one
on my Zoom and I have track two open on my Zoom in case I want to plug my guitar
into that, because the track two on here, actually one and two, can actually accept
guitar inputs, but I left to open for that. Then I have three and four, it's
taking input from my Blofeld. Tracks 5 and 6 are taking inputs from my pulse 2,
and then 11 and 12 I have as a return from the Korg Kaoss Pad.
Alright, so that's the input in my l12. Now the outputs are as follows: output A I'm
using as a monitor to my speakers. Output B I'm using as a monitor for my
headphones. Output C it's actually going into my
Kaoss Pad, and output D is going into my MPC. So basically all these are headphone
outs but you can use them as monitor outs as well. Of course, A I have going
to my speakers there's actual left and right output, but B, C, D, and E can send
stereo signals out as well. So I have B going to my headphones I have C going
into my Kaoss Pad now if you listen I could put notes here I could go to C
here and basically you can hear that same synthesizer but that synthesizer is
going out of output C into my Kaoss Pad. Check it out.
So if I desire I can use effects on Kaoss Pad
and be good to go there.
Okay, and then I have output D. so basically output D is going into my MPC Live here
so I can sample anything I have going into my LiveTrak so that's pretty
simple straightforward there. So basically what I'm gonna do is create a
song with this setup and if I enjoy this setup I'll keep it this way. If there's
something about it I don't like I can tweak it. Alright there you have it. If
you have any questions about my setup go ahead and leave me a comment.
My name is Mathew no matter what your art is, continue to create and I'll catch
you in the next video.
