What is the best way to create and edit a sequence?

I am having trouble after I sample making my beats exact and on rhythm with the mpc 2000 xl. Is there any easy way to create a sequence after I sample? I also have a triton LE workstation. Also after I am done with my projects and sequences how can I get them to cd? Thanks I am still a newbie and still trying hard.

Well it sounds like you have a sample that you want to use, but it's not fitting your sequence, or the bpm...

What I do 99% of the time is use the 16 levels function to make it [the sample] fit to the average range that I make my beats in [anywhere from 90-93 bpm]

I'm not sure about your Triton workstation question, BUT you can run the line out of your mpc into the line in on your comp. and just download an audio recording prog. off of the net [www.download.com and search for am audio recording prog.] and you can get it to CD that way...

turn the metronome on and the timing off. watch the clock and listen to the clicks. adjust the longer samples to fit or adjust the tempo of the basic snare on twos and fours to get your spacing right.

umm i think theres a feature called on the mpc called the "pads" and "step sequencer" havent really looked into either of the two.

1. Make your beats using 16/16 timing to start with and get the hang of that then when u are more comfortable use other timings and get more complex.

2. Triton, MPC line out to sound card line in and record using a wave editor. Save as 16bit 44khz then burn to CDR as a audio cd.

3. There is no best way. Whatever works for you is the best way for you.
