I have my MPC synced to Cubase LE 4 and as a slave but when i go to record my songs into a track it records through my computers mic instead of picking up the music through the midi chord. I've been looking for weeks to find out what's wrong and can't find any answers thats why i joined this forum today in hope to find out what's wrong. hopefully someone can help me out

thanks

Sorry homie but you havent looked hard enough. MIDI does not transfer audio. It is simply data. Thats your problem. There is no audio connection to the comp.

So are you sayin it only pics up the actuall mpc? and syncs the sequence and tempo? how would i get the audio then would i need some other chord or something?

MIDI only tranfers the information. Start,stop,sync, tempo, midi notes etc. You need to connect the main outs of your MPC to the line ins of your interface or soundcard. What interface are you using if any?

i have a PreSonus Firepod is that not an interface?

ok so then all you need to do is make the right connections. check it:

O wow!! thanks alot man thats really helpfull considering im a new to this stuff

No problem homie.

so i got an amp chord plugged into 7 which like shown in the picture which is plugged into the out of the mpc but when i go to record i still get nothing. ive been trying to record into both the mono and stereo tracks in mono i get nothing and in stereo i only get whats recorded from the computer mic. im not sure what im doing wrong


this is shown that the mpc is synced to the firepod


and this is what im not getting trying to record the audio.

although when i play from cubase its plays the mpc i think everything is synced midi wise but im still getting no audio from my monster cable is there a way to sync that as well?

i can take some pics of my mpc setup to my firepod if that will help

Make sure you set up your audio device inside of cubase. Cubase does not automatically recognize this. You have to go into cubase's audio settings and select your audio interface and the correct drivers. Once this is setup you have to turn on the "input monitor" button on the track to here audio being streamed to your cubase track. Once the audio is recorded you have to turn off the input monitoring to hear the recorded track. Hope this helps.

im still pretty lost here i looked up instructions on how to setup audio for cubase but im still unsure how.

i used these instructions

im not sure if i setup the busses right and ive clicked the monitor button to pick up the audio but still nothing and i have my monster cable still plugged into 7

heres some images and see if i did anything wrong or missed a step im mad confused right now sorry if the pictures are to small i feel clueless right now

K so i was finally able to record some audio as its show in the picture below but i can't hear it still how do i hear that audio i recorded?

Once you record audio to the DAW, turn off the monitor button and make sure the track is routed to the main output bus. (judging from that last photo it looks like you just need to turn off the monitor button)

Yo P!

You helped me BIG TIME on this yo! I have been stuck with Logic and my Fast Track Pro from M-Audio for a few months. I'm an idiot (go ahead everyone... get your jokes on!) but any way my dude... you helped me once again. I should have had a V8!


xNuff respect due.

xPEACE goes out!
