Hey all ok i recently bought a firewire (PreSonus FireBox), everything works great with it, drivers ar installed but i cant get it to work with my MPC 2K xl. I really suckk at connecting stuff, I got all the right cables but i cant get it to work with AUDACITY.
My audacity preferences are the following:

IN AUDIO I/O folder

Playback: BCo # MainOut
Recording Device set to: PreSonus FireBox LINE In 3/4
Channels:2 (Stereo)

If anyone has different options working wih the PreSonus Firebox let me no

Ok soo this is what I have connect
from my Presonus---> LINE IN 3/4 connect with the back of my speaker (using RCA DIGITAL ends) then from my speakers I got From my Input Stereo Dual 1/4 in TS cable going in my MPC stereo out.

Everything works fine, I have sound and all, but I think theres something wrong with my Pref in Audacity. I also made pictures so its understandable so you guys get an idea.

I have a FIREBOX with a different configuration... You want your MPC to be recorded into your computer right?

I'm not quite sure if I understand your setup but your MPC2000XL should be going into your FIREBOX line 3-4 (line 1 and 2 are for MIC/INSTRUMENTS).

My main outs (1L and 2R) are the ones going to my speakers. This way, the sound from the MPC goes into the soundcard (LINE 3-4 input) and out to the speakers (MAIN OUTS 1-2)... Does this help?

I have my setup hooked up the same way, but I don't get any sound. I have my MPC 2500 OUTS to line 3/4 of the firebox and my OUTS from my firebox to my speakers. But I don't get any sound this way. And yes I am trying to record into my computer as well. Is there something that needs to be changed on my Imac perhaps?
