Technical questions for the MPC2000xl and the MPC2000
By Howard Hwang Sun Apr 10, 2022 12:41 am
hello mpc lovers, i bought 2kXL and i have 8 outputs so i wanna record it by channels
but i wanna know is "How to" the way i thought was 8 outputs to mixer to audio interface to PC but as i think, mixer is "mixer" so if i record mpc song to daw i think it will record to 1 mixed music, am i wrong?
so i'm confused now, what i should buy? 8 input audio interface? hard disk recorder? or that way will works? can you guys teach me how to do it?

Me…a long time ago with 2kxl….


mpc 8 outs -> 8 input audio interface.
I did my volume/gain level mixing inside mpc.
Never used an external mixer with 2kxl.

Audio interface breaks out into 8 channels into daw if your audio interface supports it.

Didn’t like daw lifestyle so I stayed with the main outs 2chnl.
