Recording from Mpc2000XL to Tascam DP-01FX CD

Hello Everybody Im having trouble finding any talks or info on here about MPC heads Using The Dp-01fx cd to Multitrack Record from their MPC's Im Having A hard Time Trying to Learn The Machine i have the manual and i look through it everyday but i still need help understanding how to record, like an intro then my verses ect. i have 4 sequences im trying to record into the tascam but i dont know how to record pieces like sequence 1 then 2 and 3 ect. because my drums change from seq 1 to seq. 2 and if i track the drums out seperatley and then i want to change the pattern for sequence 2 how do i do this? in the end i want to put the recordings together for one long piece or song, any help would be appreciated thanks again.

I'm not sure if i am missing your point but, have you tried chaining your sequences together in SONG mode in the MPC? And then recording the song into your recorder.

Yes i can do that but if i want to add effects to the drums seperatley how would i do this? like i said my drum pattern changes from like sequence 1 to sequence 2 like the kick will drop out and back in and hit in different spots than in seq. 1.
thanks for your reply.

yo lampdog thanks but i think i got everyone confused
with my hard to express situation, lol.
i got my beat in sequence 1 with drums and everything, i go to record i got the sample on tracks 1 and 2 my drums on 3, 4, 5, 6 ect. after im done recording the sequence, i want to record my second sequence and in my second one the sample changes and my drum pattern changes also like i said the kick will start hitting more times than in seq. 1.
so my question is if i already recorded my first part how would i record my second sequence in the DP-01FX without having a gap between the end of the first recording and the start of the second one, can i record seperate pieces and then join them together? thanks and sorry for the confusion, im still studying this manual hard.

well i think your missing the point of SONG mode .....

you should make your whole beat first seq 1, 2, 3 ...... and so on. then you go into song mode and arrange the sequnces in the order you want the to play. this way the mpc will switch sequences automatically with out interrupting the loop so when you go to record on your tascam your beat will be one continuous track with no "gaps"

i think thats what your asking ?

That's what I thought.

There is definitely something getting lost in the translation here

@billynojokes @*Pilchard* yes ur both right i can do that
but when i record on the tascam i track my beats out i dont record all on one track
because when i go to mix on the tascam i can mix the seperate tracks and add effects to the drums one by one. if i record from song mode ill record the whole beat on one track of the dp-01 and i cant add effects seperatley it will affect the whole song.
did i make more sense? thanks for everyones replies i appreciate it.

ohhhhhhhhhhhh wOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW didint know that! gosh man guys thanks alot no wonder you guys were saying song mode. duH! i didint know you can track out from there. man u guys are the best thanks alot im gonna go home and try this tonight! thanks again

I got excactly the same recorder and a mpc2kxl, if ya have any more questions about it feel free to ask me.

@ Jim Beats Hey thanks man i will for sure, i appreciate you reaching out and to all the others especially Lamp Dog always Comin thru.

@ Jim Beats do you have any beats recorded on the tascam that i can listen to? thanks

I have an MPC2000 classic and Tascam DP01. I'm having an issue when tracking out beats. When I go back for a second pass my samples lag. I'm using midi out clock on the DP01 and syncing in midi clock to the MPC. I know the midi tempo on the DP01 only goes to whole numbers....could this be the issue?
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated .
