internal sampling?

I'm having trouble understanding about internal sampling on the 1000. If you have a song that is exactly 3 minutes long and it contains, for example, 5 tracks... bass, kick, snare, hat, sample. If you want to have the MPC make .Wav files of each of these 5 tracks, to where you would have 5 three-minute long stems, to be dragged into your DAW, would you have to sit there for around 15 minutes (5 parts x 3 minute long song) for the .Wav stems to be made?

Imagine if your song had more than 5 parts and was longer than 3 minutes... would someone with 1000 shed some light on this for me? If you indeed have to wait all that time for each stem to be processed as a .Wav inside the MPC, wouldn't you just op for multitracking out of the outs in the DAW?

Thanks so much

If you want to separate channels you would need an interface with 6 analog inputs to make a use of 6 outs of mpc 1000.

ditto on Bugfix's comment; you could assign each voice (kick, snare, etc) to a separate channel-out on the MPC and record it with an interface into yr DAW.

OR. you could it the internal sampling way but its a bit tedious and time-consuming as ****.
here's one way: 1.you could have each voice be its own track on yr sequence (snare on track 1, kick on track 2, etc).
2. convert yr string of sequences to a song
3. mute every track EXCEPT for the track you want to record (so if you want to record the snare, mute the kick n hi-hats n so on).
4. now record the song with everything muted except for the voice you want
5. save the sample (which will be a .WAV file)
6. connect yr MPC to the cpu and load the sample into yr DAW
7. delete that sample after its in yr DAW on yr MPC (its going to be a large file n you will need to do that for memory reasons)
8. disconnect yr MPC from the CPU
9. repeat all of that shit for every single voice.

see, its super long and tedious right? hence, get an interface lol. but not impossible.

OR: another way too.
every step is the same, except for this: if you don't have each voice as its own separate track in the sequence, then just mute every voice except for the one you want to record in the program (turn their volume down to zero).

hope this helps

With an MPC1000, the typical way is to utilise your 6 outs and 'track' your beats to your DAW via your computer's audio interface. I've written several books that show you how to use an MPC1000 with various different DAWs, with chapters on MIDI syncing, tracking, using DAW VST instruments as sound modules for your MPC and other tricks - bottom the the page:

I have a Firewire interface called the Mackie Onyx 1220i and it is set as my main soundcard. I have audio coming in and out of this interface. BUT, it has NO MIDI.

If I wanted to track my MPC like Tutor said, could I buy a separate MIDI-ONLY interface and MIDI connect my MPC 1000 to it and have my MPC's Assignable Outputs going into my Mackie 1220i and the MPC 1000's MIDI going into this new MIDI interface and have Reaper record?

MPC 1000 Assignable Outputs 1-4 ---> Mackie Onyx 1220i Channels 1-4 (four Mono sounds panned accordingly)
MPC 1000 Main Stereo Outputs ------> Mackie Stereo Channel 5/6 (for stereo sounds)
MPC 1000 MIDI IN "1" ---> MIDI Interface "OUT"

Would this allow me to record like 4 sounds at once, on separate channels then? (kick ch1, snare ch2, bass ch3, hat ch4)

Yes, should be fine.

When you are in record mode, You can sample the main outs as an option. I've never tried this but in theory it should work.

Thanks so much

you get a cleaner signal using internal sampling as it keeps the signal all digital.
i might it also save time...no setting up the cables, audio interface, computer, arming tracks, assigning outputs, setting levels.
whatever works best for you...
