Ive sampled with my mic into the rec in.
Ive got the sample recorded on the R phone only.
Now how do i copy that, and paste it into the L phone, so that when i play it i can hear it on both R & L?

resample it so that you have 2 of the same samples, in your sample edit page you can turn 2 mono samples into 1 stereo sample.

You can use the mono to stereo edit in sample edit. It`s in the manual.

Wouldn't it be smart to just turn it to a mono file?

But if you were to copy R to L, wouldn't you still be creating a mono file anyway?

nah i got a mpc4k. cant the 4k do that? thats like one of the simplest functions man. iam starting to think the 4k is rubbish.

By Altopiano Fri May 27, 2005 5:06 pm
dasoef .... recheck bh answer. in sample mode press edit and scroll over to .... dunno - mono to stereo or somethin - not in front of 4k atm .... but ya can do both ... transform a mono signal into a stereo (choose l an r same mono sample) .... than you got a st sample which in case afterwards ya can split up again in its l and r parts. hth

ps: no offense - but before ya say the 4k is rubbish ya better rtfm.

ok idiot, here you go


you probably recorded the vocal as a stereo file.


you could re-record vocal as a mono file, then it should play in the middle of the stereo field until you pan it otherwise.

or, you cold press the sample button.
then highlight the sample you want to edit.
then press f2 to get into the trim edit page.
then press f5 to bring up dsp functions.
then scroll to the 14th dsp function(stereo to mono)
then press f6 to execute command(you will have to rename samples before you execute.



once you change your sample into a mono sample, you should hear it in the middle of your stereo field.



you reall are an idiot, maybe you should get rid of mpc and go with fruity loops.
