re-sampleing final song, then moving .WAV file to computer..

i hear you can re-sample an entire song if you got the memory upgrades. so how exactly is re-sampling done? do you put the outputs to the inputs? wouldn't that make a soundloop??? and say you got your trackrecorded in one big WAV file, you move it to your computer, but whats the quality like? i'd imagine it would be right up there, almost studio quality, your weasekt link would be your connectin cables?

i was basicly wondering what the quality is like, cause if its dope, getting the memory upgrade would benefit me more than goign to the studio to record a few tracks, when the time comes in the future

It might be in the manual if you can do the re-sample thing or not. Re-sampling to me is something all different but I'm gonna roll with how you put it in your statement.

Moving a wav from mpc to PC/MAC shouldn't change the quality. It will be the hardware and software that change the quality. THAT sound file will STILL be THAT sound file until it is changed, moving will not lower or raise the quality I assume.

Why don't you try what you are able to try and see how it comes out?

Memory upgrading will not upgrade or downgrade any quality in sound either. It's just a memory upgrade. Have you read up on what the memory upgrade is all about? Tell the truth, c'mon now, did you read it?

lemme know what's goingz on..

I think what is meant by upgrading is that if you get 128 mg memory you can re-sample an entire 5 minute tune as a single .wav file.

Probably a less confusing way of talking about it is ‘bouncing’ – when you re-sample you are essentially bouncing all of your audio down to one track, just like you would in any other recording environment. What you end up with is a .wav file that you can then transfer direct to your computer (might take a while to save it on your flash card via the MPC though) – there is no connecting of leads to be done, the MPC effectively samples itself. The quality of the file, as lampdog says, then entirely depends on what you do with it – if you run the whole thing through a dodgy mixer/compressor and back into your PC, it’s not going to sound better. Not sure if you can re-sample in song mode though, so you may find you have to convert a song to a large sequence if you wanna bounce a whole track. Personally I’d say f@@k it and just record it in to my PC via my mixer… but then i like things to sound a bit grimey and not all shiny weakazz money-shot produced to death style

yeah and i wasn't talkin about the cables you connect to PC by, i thuoght yuo needed to connect 1/4" ers from the out to the in, so there for your weakest link would be your cables, but apparently the MPC can do this on its own

and the memory upgrade is just cause i cant record a whole track on a 32 meg memory card, or even hold it in my internal, 16mb ram.

so my original question, is it real crisp coming from the MPC1000?

no you can't - if you wanna do this go get yourself a 128 upgrade a 128 card.

it sounds exactly like it does coming out of the mpc - there is nothing to get in the way to change to data... it's as crisp as you have made it sound.

you don't need cables. if you want to resample or whatever jsut go to the record page and select "main out." but a problem i found was that you can't go to the next sequence. your entire song has to already be completely ready to go. and you can't mess with any settings or whatever. i just hook it up to the comp into the line in and got a recording program. it works fine. doesn't sound like any quality is lost
