MPC Live II | Recording Talkbox

Creating with the MPC Live II is truly an enjoyable experience. Let's have a little talkbox fun using the Tubesynth plugin to drive our sound.

Join the conversation!

OMFG I cant wait to do this ish with an MPC One. Andy is really selling these MPC workstations.

[AndyMacMPCclub]

So here's what I did. I'm driving Tube Synth running a (SawTooth) Patch out of output 3 into the Bosko's ElectroSpit. I'm then using MPKMini to trigger the sound like I would with my normal Talkbox.

[AveMcree]

I'm lost? I'm trying to figure out how he used tube synth to get the talk box?

[MoneyBooBoo]

who knew James Hettfield could jam like this? just amazing

[NIKMuzka]

I've the electrospit and live and this was exactly how I'd hope to use it. Didn't realise I could run a mic straight into the mpc so this video helps a lot, thanks

[BuckpLAYZnOGAMEz]

So this very technique in this video can be done with the MPCKEY61 also ?

[Jeremy-suxy]

what do you mean "bobobobob"?

[merowsProductions]

Question, how do u set a different simultaneous outputs? One for the talkbox elctrospit for synth without the metronome and one for u to hear the metronome?

[hpvlogs]

We need to be able to put XY effects on the main 1/2 out so we can put the effect on the whole track the only way I'm able to do it as if I render down the whole song and put it on track one then go to the yx midi track then I'm able to put my automation on the whole entire song but once I render it down I'm not able to make adjustments to an individual sound can we please get the automation main 1 and 2 out please

[alxandros]

Still waiting for that killer vocoder plug-in for standalone MPC 😜

[DIGITALPROGRESStv]

can you show your correctly talkbox setup in midi controller

[UndoingRuin]

This just showed me another great thing that I didn't even know you could do. I'm hoping they will get production out of backorder soon

Also, Akai just Daft Punked our asses

[PhatMc]

My rode nt1 mini USB sez it ain't compatable with the USB in back of the mpc I'm devoed is there any way use can work around the issue in the next update would be much apresaiated I'm just using aux from the out put in to my mixer ATM to remidy the issue

[n-brace]

Doesn't that mic use XLR? At the beginning of the video he says "if you want to record vocals or guitars, you can plug a mic or an instrument DIRECTLY into the inputs".
Maybe I'm missing something but I didn't think the MPC Live II has XLR inputs...?
Can anyone clarify?
Thanks.

[C.B.youtubeTV]

can use the mic on live 2 and what cable do I need

[zebuz]

Can someone tell me if I can create a vocoder without the ElectroSpit? I have a Novation Mininova and I use a few vocoder presets coming with the synth. I am considering replacing it with the Akai MPC Key 37 so I can be able to release samples as well.
Can someone please clarify if I can have the vocoder still on Akai using the pluings?

[colindavis]

Damn this thing is dope! Is the talk box in the akai force??

[_thevaporz]

That's tight! Are those stock preset sounds? Dogg Master, Mofak, Busta Brown (Modogsta) will have a field day with this thing!

[op-g.s]

Wait what? So you can plug in an eguitar directly in to the mpc with out an preamp?

[djcovid-]

So does the mpc live 2 have a talk box? And this is just a midi keyboard? What is the set up here? Looks pretty cool!
