NEED HELP.IM VERY NEW TO THIS WORLD SO PLEASE BEAR WITH ME.. I JUST GOT MY MPC 2500, MOTIF XSB, JBL MONITERS, APPLE I7, AND A MBOX. I DONT KNOW WHICH ROUTE SHOULD I GO TO HAVE EVERYTHING CONNECTED FOR SOUND. DONT KNOW IF I SHOULD GET A MIXER (ANOLOG OR DIGITAL) OR SHOULD I SELL MY M BOX AND GET A DIGIDISIGN 003 OR A M- AUDIO PROJECT MIX I/O..... I CURRENTLY HAVE MY SPEAKERS HOOKED UP TO THE MPC, BUT I CAN ONLY HEAR THE MOTIF ONLY WHEN I SAMPLE OFF OF IT... I JUST WANNA HEAR AUDIO SNIGNALS FROM MY SPEAKERS WHEN I USE MY MPC, AND MOTIF....THANKS, ANY FEEDBACK IS HELPFULL!!!!

Its your call BEAR!!!

I think you already understand the issue and ultimately you have two routes.

You've got a DAW so I presume your into productio. (if it was live performance Id say just get a analogue mixer)

I would knock out the MBox and get your Projectmix IO (god I'd love one). Cool little thing the MBOX but anything with 2 inputs isn't going to survive for too long in a growing setup. a triumph of style over content :-)

Connect your speakers to the projectmix, F/W to your PC. set your DAW software up to recognise the inputs provided by the PJM IO. (18-14 actually) and set the channels to monitor.

You'll be able to connect lots of your MPC outputs up seperately plus whatever your Yamaha has.

Mr. Bear, you seemed to have pulled a fast one on us around here.
