Hi, sorry if these are dumb questions from a newbie but I can't seem to find the answers in the manual or a Google search.


MPC X SE...current firmware...running in Standalone mode.

ISSUE-1

I'm trying to add my MPC X on top of some audio tracks I already recorded.

My MPC X is synced perfectly with Pro Tools via midi clock.

I'm looping an 8 bar section on PT so I can mess with my MPC parts. When I try and go into record it punches out at bar 1. This happens if I hit record before hitting Play on PT. Or if I hit Overdub after I hit Play on PT.

Is there any way to have keep recording as long as I want while I loop that section?

ISSUE-2...somewhat related.

Is there anyway to have the MPC X start on its bar-1 no matter where I am in the Pro Tools session. Meaning , say I want to start the MPC on bar 3 of the session. Right now follows(syncs with) whatever bar PT is on.

Thanks in advance.
