you can record two types of data: MIDI and AUDIO. MIDI is all about what buttons or keys you pressed while playing. AUDIO is the actual sound itself made when you played.

you have to hook up cables for both types of data if you want to use both types of data. everything runs out of one machine and into another. by machine i mean anything with inputs and outputs, it could be a mixer, a keyboard module, a software program, and plenty of machines have both types of data INs and OUTS, like your MPC. the MPC can also record both types of data, as can some software programs....

all of this is explained in great detail on the Tweakheadz website. google it. then google every piece of equipment you have and read their manuals. if you come across a term you don't understand while reading any of the above, google it.

believe me the answers to your question are easily found when searched for using the above method....

Cause if not then he'll be right back here asking why everything is slow and why does audio skip and pause while playing back.

Priorities is jacked up here, get em straight.

Be easy,
one way to do it is record your drums first. Then hook the 1/4 inch audio cables from keyboard to interface or soundcard. Then play it live over your beat OOOr use the MPC to trigger the Keyboard via MIDI.

That easy baby, some people on here don't help but don't get mad. Just get better. You can always hit me up on myspace with ?'s.
