converting songs to sequence

working on 2k classic, when i convert the song to a sequence it doesnt play the sequence with the tracks muted they are all on. Is this normal or do I have an incorrect setting? the song consisted of four sequences and certain ones had tracks muted but when converted to seq they are all on. Do you really have to make a new seq for every change up i want in the song?

all the change ups are seq its just like in seq 1 snare is off but when converted to song the snare is on ,just seems like if its one seq it is easier to adjust levels of the sounds if i can do it on one seq, if i have a bunch of seq for a song to adjust someting i have to go to each seq and do it, if the whole song is 1 i can do it once instead of multiple times. Im new to recording and just tryin to figure out the best way to do things. the way its worded in the manual made me think you could program everything in song mode then convert to seq for easier fine tuning.

yea i dont have different sounds on the same trk numbers in dif seq, in other words kick is on track 3 on all seq but my prob is when converted song to seq it wont rcognize that in seq 1 track 3 is on and in seq 2 track 3 is off. for ex-
seq 1-trk 1-snare trk 2-hats trk 3-kick----then in seq 2 it is the same except i have the hats muted out. song modes cool seq 1 plays all trks then swithches to seq 2 and plays all trks except hats but when converted it doesnt know to mute the hats on the second 4 bars,

Have you tried to delete what you were trying to mute instead? That's what I do, it's a copy so you can always get it back if you mess up. Just make sure there is one SEQ that stays whole.

thx for all the help, just gettin the machine down, so when you record to daw from song screen , if my interface has 2 inputs i go to mixer and set trk 1 and 2 to the outputs and play song all the way thru from song mode and then do it again for 3 and 4 etc until all tracks are in daw??

no, wait til u open the daw, then import the song. then open ya outputs n shit n plug some inputs in.. fukk man u'll get used to it

yea i mean track like in the seq snare on track 1 etc, also i was talkin about the mixer screen in mpc to tell the mpc which track goes on which output on the 8 outs. but i do have a dj mixer also should the the mp go to the mixer first then dj mixer to interface? also just tryin to figure out what screen to record from in the mp

Never quite understood the exact purpose or need for this feature.
