After
we got our MV8000 we put it thru all our test its a very good
machine its like an MPC so it has some of those same
basic functions like sampling, sequencing, and drum machine features
but it does even more. You can take a sample then press a button
and the MV8000 will chop it up into several small samples and place
them on separate pads so you can play them independent of the main
sample now that was cool. Another
feature we liked was the ability to take a sample then put it
in a sequence, we made sure it was locked to the right tempo
and made sure it looped perfectly, then you can increases or
decreases the tempo and the sample is still in time with the
sequence.
Our DVD will take you step by step so you can take your time to learn it right
the first time around. Chapter 1. Covers the front you'll
learn how each section works to help you get around the MV8000. Chapter
2. Here you'll learn about the back, and which cables to use whether its
midi cables or 1/4" cables audio ones make sure you have the right ones. Chapter
3. Now we'll teach you sample setup, the best ways you can sample
whether its phrase sampling or patch sampling then we set the start
trigger, to sample we can use mono or stereo. Chapter 4. Once
you have the sample its time to edit , cut out what we don't want and keep what we do.
Next we can loop and set the tempo to our beat. In Chapter
5.
You'll learn about making a sequence with the samples we took and
we'll hook up a keyboard to play some sounds.
Once
we started to make this video we realized that this machine has
a lot of features and we didn't want to miss a thing so here's
our MV8000 DVD part 2. Chapter 1.
Here we show you how to set levels, and hook up a mike
to record some vocals. Chapter 2.
Here you'll learn about mixing the song on our MV8000. We'll mix
the audio tracks with the sample tracks and the midi track to get
the mix we want. Chapter 3.
Now we'll teach you how to setup your effects, so you can add
reverb, or chorus, or delay, and any effect that you feel is going
to enhance the mix to give it that flavor. All you got to do is
search the effect library and select the effect you want for the
track you want, turn up the effect send and your there. Chapter
4. Next we have the MFX's we'll teach you how to select
and effect like an auto wah we can have this FX set to the input
or aux or output, etc. The MFX is different from the
effects and can be used in many ways this section is cool. In Chapter
5.Its time to bounce our song down to a CD that you can
play in a CD player. We start with mix down mode we
press enter, setup the length of our mix, watch to make sure the
record light is flashing and it time to make that CD. Chapter
6. Mastering is the last step in getting that CD to have
the right level of playback
