The 4 Assignable Outs

Okay this has kinda bugged me how you cant assign out one to track one which maybe a kick then out two to assign to the snare and stuff. is their anyway to do it like that or is it just right and left out as 1/2 which means that their is only 2 stereo outs right? i was trying to mix one of my beats to my four track when i realalized that it was only recording 2 sounds

Since there are actually 3 stereo outs inclusing the main, just use the mpc mixer to pan the sounds all the way to the left or right on 1/2 3/4 and LR. That way you have a total of 6 individual outs. Nahmean?

the manual mentions this

You assign sounds to outputs in either the mixer mode or effects mode. I don't quite remember.

1/2 3/4 = pan hard L/R to get 1,2,3,4

and ST L/R to get 5,6

to use all 6 outputs do this ---


Mode - Mixer-->

Track 1 - ST - Pan hard Left (so the dial is facing all the way Left)
Track 2 - ST - Pan hard Right ( " " Right)
Track 3 - 12 - Pan hard Left (" " Left)
Track 4 - 12 - Pan hard Right (" " Right
Track 5 - 34 - Pan hard Left (" " Left)
Track 6 - 34 - Pan hard Right( " " Right)

all done!

this makes total sense except for one thing. how does this not completly fuk up the way everything sounds. i don't have away to track my shit out so i can't experiement but i wouldn't want every other sound to be either R or L. i guess maybe my assumption is off or something cuz i don't get it. do you have to then go into your DAW to edit back to stereo or sometin like that?

oh, well thanks for clearing that up for me what you said makes alot more sense.

If you don't know that then why do you even want to use the individual outs? They're there so you can have complete control over processing, level and panning of each track when you're mixing down.

first of all, i didn't ask the ? to begin with. and i understand why you would want to track your shit out so you can have complete control and what not. i just don't understand why you would want to pan all of you outs. i can see why you would want to do that with the stereo out, to seperate it into a left and a right. but why the individual outs, why wouldn't you just leave those centered so that your sounds dont end up extreme left ot right.

to tell you the truth i dont even ouse those, i go from my mixer straight to the motu 828 to cubase

Sorry man I thought it was your question in the first place. If you pan hard left and right on 1-4 you get 4 mono outs, if you leave them centred you get 2 stereo.
