Making Stems In Akai's MPC The Easy Way

I had an issue while working on the MPC. Every section from the samples, drum kit to the instruments were in one sequence. But I needed to export my stems. So how did I track them out in a timely manner?

There was the idea of muting or soloing tracks and exporting them individually, but I knew there had to be another way. Every section had its own track so I decided to bounce them out as samples. This way they’ll be apart of part the MPC sample pool

When you save a project in the MPC it automatically adds your sample pool into a project folder. Now I can safely remove my SD card, plug it into the computer, and load those stems inside the project folder into a DAW or to send out for mixing.

Let's Recap

• Bounce your tracks inside the MPC.

• Save the project! Without doing this first the system won't add those tracks to the project folder.

• Once everything is saved you can locate the stems and do what you need with them.

This method keeps the workflow easy to run without manually exporting each track one by one.
