i made a beat arranged it in song mode but when it recorded(converted to song and recorded the main outs) it left out the hats on both the verses.
:roll:
i dont know if this is a polyphony thing? how could it be though if it plays fine before though.

i had another similar problem but that time a sample was playing that wasn't supposed to.

jjos1 4.99i i think mpc 1000

i guess this isnt that bad because i will eventually track into pro tools but its nice to have this to make a quick mp3 to give to the rapper while i work out all the other polishing details but still. any ideas/similar experiences are awesome.

Every sequence needs to follow the same tracks that are setup.
Why?
Because mpc's only remember the FIRST tracks assignments.
In order for ur seq's to play back correctly you need to have all tracks line up
on every sequence the same.

I've said this before many times.


seq1
trk1 = kick
trk2 = snr
trk3 = hhat
trk4 = horn

seq2
trk1 = kick
trk2 = snr
trk3 = hhat
trk4 = horn

seq3
trk1 = kick
trk2 = snr
trk3 = hhat
trk4 = horn

Convert that to song and it will play properly.

1 good way to organize and line up ALL trks on sequences is to make a main sequence with all the track assignments u can think of and copy it everytime you wanna make another sequence. That way all the copies have the same track assignments as the original. Now if you happen to wanna add another track then you'll have to put it in the SAME trk # across ALL the seq's. Don't just throw tracks everywhere, that's not smart tracking, lol.

Like I said, FIRST seq in song mode is the ONLY one the mpc will read for track assignments.
Make things are lined up.
