Technical questions for the MPC2000xl and the MPC2000
By Blindsight Sat Sep 03, 2005 2:04 pm
I've had my MPC for a summer now, and it has been hooked into my mixer and turntables for the duration. I have a cd burner hooked up to the MPC as well, but it only loads the drums from there. I was wondering if anyone could give me advice on the easiest way of going about getting my beats on cd. There are a million programs out there, but i don't know which one(s) to choose. thanks-

You can't burn from your MPC as you know unless you had a 4000
1) You can hook your baby's OUTS to a computer that has one of the audio softwares, record it there and then burn it...

2) you can hook it up and record to a digital work station and then burn from there.... (what I do)

3) Hook it directly to a CD burner that burns as your beat is playing

I'm not sure if there are any other options

What if you want to bring the tracks into your computer seperately and mix down? What's the easiest way? Is that two tracks at a time? Split between your L & R outputs?

Use a software multitracker, like Pro Tools Le, but theres' alot of other programs to choose from. You'll need an audio interface/soundcard for your computer to do this.
You can record two tracks at a time with the master outs, but the 'easiest' way (not the easiest on your pocket) is to track out using the 8 individual output board on the mpc.

This has been discussed in depth in the past, so you can search for the info you'll need.

Audacity is great, free and cross-platform!
