Mpc and Cubase

I final figure out how to use my mpc with cubase but now I want to know if theres a way I can hit the pads on the mpc and the sound records into cubase or can I hit the keys on my motif while its midi'd up to my mpc and my mpc is midi'd to cubase and have what im playing on the motif record into cubase?

The first part to your question is yes. But on the second question, it depends on how you've got your midi channels set up or if what channel (s) will be bypassed/muted on the mpc due to it being daisy chained.

how do I actually get the first ques started (hit mpc pads to record in str8 to cubase)...I have my Mpc midi up by a Uno Plug (Midi to usb)....I now cubase see's the mpc but I just dont know how to record sounds str8 from the mpc into cubase

Can you/someone explain?

You're thinking too hard. My method relies on doing the drum patterns on the mpc first, then sync it up to the daw. Once sync'd to the daw (daw master, mpc slave), I then record each track to a track within the daw itself.

I know How to track my beats out from my mpc to daw, im just tryin to learn something new...I seen a few ppl do this thats why Im asking

Hi all!

Can I use higher sample rate than 44.1khz and 16 bit when i record my tracks to cubase with my emu1212m?

Oh, ok. Then have you tried using your mpc the same as you would an instrument or sound module? I do this occasionally when I work with sample libraries/loops.

BTW, the mpc's transport gets to sit this one out. But I'll access it's sounds from the DAW however.

I just connected the output from my MPC to the input on my soundcard and record straight into Cubase and that works fine, if you have a good enough soundcard.

It seems like you're mixing up MIDI and AUDIO.

To record AUDIO from your MPc into cubase you will need to connect the AUDIO outputs of your MPC to the AUDIO input(s) of the soundcard of your computer.

You can not record AUDIO over a MIDI connection.
