Technical questions for the MPC2000xl and the MPC2000
By The Exiles Thu Dec 14, 2006 5:21 pm
ok....correct me if I'm wrong. I have a MPC2000xl and a scsi cd rom drive. My cd rom drive works good, and I have a few sample cds already created by akai. Ok.....followin me? Now I have about 15 gigs of sound on my laptop. I don't have time to sample all of these individually. What I wanna do is. Make my own cd with the sounds I have on my laptop. So I checked out some forums and I have came to the conclusion that I must take one of those professionally made akai sample cds and burn the disk image.....right?ok so...by burning the disk image am I copying the akai format? ok so...after I've gotten that how do I take all of those sounds on my laptop put it on a blank cd which I can format for akai. This is simple and theres a few posts just like this but before I can get the answer somebody starts being an A$$ and the question never gets answered. So if theres anyone out here that can help me out I'd apreciate it. And yes there's a chance I could have found the answer with out posting this topic...so save yourself some finger power and don't be an A$$....besides this is what this site is for.....AMEN

For a 2kxl forget all of that image stuff..

The 2k classic NEEDS that Akai image CD, not a 2kxl.

Burn your 44khz 16bit wav samples on a to data cd iso 9660 (standard normal data cd format) and your fine.

ok

Yeah, I'm not all bad.

I do like to clown on the simplistic stuff though..

This was not a simple matter, not in the manual ya dig.

In windows xp, you can just drag and drop the wav files onto the cd icon in my computer, windows will have files ready to be written to cd, this will create standard iso 9660 data cd, that cd will be readable by the 2kxl.. No special burning software/techniques needed at all.

Lemme know if that helps though..

I'll clown you next time if you like though, jk... :lol:

dont wanna act like a smartass guys lol
but i find zip drive is the cheapest and effective way of transfering the drums from one computer to the other
thats how i do it and it cost me nothing at all
got 2 zip drives one for my mpc one for my pc ... 60 bucks and another 20 bucks for zip disks
and there ya go
all set.. no burning or nothing

Do you have a burning software? Try that too. I never had a problem with
the way I stated but try a burning program/software, try whatever you have to make that data cd.
