How do you usually mix your tracks and beats? Do you transfer your beats from SP into your DAW or do you try to mix everything inside the box? How do you finish your beats and export them, finally?
nothing serious, just general chat, memes, music, random shit, vc, etc

in this video that I'm posting, I'm using the SP 404 mk2, the MPC live one and using the KO sidekick as the middle ground for both of these devices to coexist with each other
This past weekend was the legendary Philly Folk Fest, my favorite weekend of the year. Every year I bring a bunch of instruments for people to try. Out of respect for the more traditional folk neighbors, I didn’t want to bring an electronic music setup, but I still wanted to amplify my zither a bit.
Rigged up an old UE Megaboom, put both instruments into the 136 Sidekick, aux send to 404 and back. That way I could add 404 FX to one or both instruments, as well as loop them and occasionally play a backing drum track to jam with. It also made an excellent recorder.
The 404 continues to be an incredibly loyal piece of gear. Super fun to loop with, and got some lovely samples from the weekend. Introduced a lot of people to this little box we love.
Is there a way to apply an effect to a long sample without having to resample the whole thing? I'm kind of tired of waiting for a 10-minute sample to finish playing just to save it with the effect applied
I just want to select the sample, apply the effect, and save the sample with the effect applied, is it possible?
thanks 4 the help
Hello.
I recently started to look for some groovebox, Samplers, synths, etc...
But when i watched a video about how Samplers works, i realized that i can't make music with that. So i looked other grooveboxes etc...
Now i downloaded cakewalk and i thought:
"What if i make beats with my PC and then sample them on the used MK2?"
Also, is it a good Place to start?
Another question about price. I found a mk2 for about 290 euros, and some other MK2 about 400. Are the other models good?
Thank you and Sorry for bad english
Recently found this 202 covered in dust at a used music shop. The simplicity compared to the 404 is inspiring and also so damn frustrating. Mostly made on the 202, cheated a bit with ableton to get samples sitting right
hi. I dont understand how to use the pattern sequencer on my sp404a.I have a drum sample that i cant figure out the bpm off. Then when i try to record a 4 bar loop of the drum that is way off the tempo the loop will stop, even though i have set the pad with the drum break to loop. I hope this makes somewhat sense
i feel like i bit of an outsider here only in that my best isn't made from samples. i've been making music for years and have been working with the 404 since december. i like the workflow and the level of creative control it gives me without being a whole ass daw.
i could go on forever about that topic, but im really here looking for feedback. i really enjoy this level of production. i could arrange it a little better in ableton, mix and master it (poorly) and dress it up as part of a release for streaming platforms but i dont like that part of the process nearly as much. i'm hoping to just make cool arrangements on this thing, archive them somehow, and keep it moving. the songs may be iterated on again if i feel like it.
anybody else kinda feel this way? like forget getting streams, just make what you want to make and move on. i think my only fear is AI learning from my stuff and "stealing my artistic direction" but also, who cares? i don't think my concepts are that novel. and even if that were happening, i just like to make this stuff. let em have it.
