I have my 2kxl main outs going into my digi001.
I don't have the 8outs.

My triton extreme has 4 individual analog outs that go into the digi001.
Along with the spdif optical out that goes in the digi001.

digi001 is connected to my computer and breaks out into vegas multitrack software.


I use the software mixer in vegas. My setup is oh so simple cause I'm poor. :D

Tracking is a term used to describe the recording process of your individual 'tracks' from the MPC into a multi tracking hardware or software application. The MPC acts as a playback device is sum instances therefor users opt to hard disk record the'sound' (Track)....After this stage, u are free to manipulate your tracks/mix them

How you track depends on your setup....A mixer is an option - You can monitor and make further adjustments b4 u record your sound, then again u could go str8 into you PC if you had an adequate soundcard and cut out the mixer (lampdog)

Then again u may be using a hardware disk recorder.....

The info u want regarding RJ is something else...Ha! I think you need to slow down bro...Understand what you have and what it can do for you b4 you start wanting to do what every1 else does

[quote="evil"]yeah thanx!! but i want to know if im workn with mulitiple sequences with different bars n different tempo how does that work?
all those sequences w/ different bars and different tempos, you should just chain them together in song mode and playback.

n what r other peoples method on mixing n trackn there tracks with n mpc? I already told you how I do.

each pad on an mpc is a track.

tracks are set to individual (8out) outs and go to your mixer/audio interface (8ins).

tracks are broken down and edited in your software or your hardware multitracker.

I don't know of anyway to make it any clearer.
