TRACKING OUT QUESTION

Hi, im a MPC1000 user and I want to know whats the BEST OPTION for getting my beats out to mix them in a DAW:


Option 1: TRACKING OUT each track, separately, into an interface and then mix in the DAW (using my stereo outs on the back of the mpc)


Option 2: Use the RECORD MAIN OUT option in the MPC and then moving the .wav files to my PC via USB, then mix in the DAW

Wich is the best option?? Whats the difference?

I wanna know wich one of these 2 options ensures the best sound quality for my audio tracks. So whats better? Tracking Out to Interface? or Recording the Main Out and saving the .wav file to my cf card??



THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME!, and sorry for my bad english.

If you really want to know which method is 'best' try both for yourself and see.

There is no such thing as the 'best' in this scenario, you need to decide what works for you.

Thank you for your answer.

And which of these two options works better for you and why?

hmm, sounds like you missed the point of clint246clint's answer


what do you mean by your option 2?

do you mean recording a single track and transferring that, then recording another track and transferring that, then another etc etc

or do you mean recording all the tracks to a single wav file and transferring that?

Sorry, its hard to explain myself in english lol.

What I meant by option 2 its to USE THE RECORD THE MAIN OUT option to record each track separately, just like an interface tracking out (first the kicks track, then the snares track, then the hihats, etc) Then saving the samples in my cf card and move them to my PC via USB.

I dont care which option takes longer or which option its easier. I wanna know which method ensures the best quaility sound for my audio tracks, interface tracking out or recording the main out and saving the samples?

Thanks for your time!
