Exchange tips and tricks for the Akai MPC4000

According to these jokers:


I have produced a complete beat with my MPC4000. How can I burn it to a CD or share it via Internet?

When your beat is ready, go to the RECORD mode and select MAIN OUT as the source for stereo recording. Set the sampling time to the length of your beat and the threshold to the minimum. Arm for recording and play your sequenced beat from the start. This will create a new stereo sample of your beat, including the effects. When finished recording, transfer this stereo sample as WAV file in your computer (via USB or any removable media), and use your computer software to either write this file to an audio CD or encode it as an MP3 file to share it via Internet.


the effects are disabled when bouncing your main out. assholes with your bullshit info

i hate it when people lie about things they sell. its cheap. giving false info is illegal too!

even my friggin weed dealer is more honest

I'm not sure you need a step step to learn how to sample... but here it is. It's also in the Manual...

1. Take your Synth that you want to sample and plug it into the Record IN on the back
2. Hit "Record" page button.
3. Make your synth sound so you can check levels. (you'll want to be on Analog In if that's your source)
4. Adjust levels with the Jog Dial
5. Hit the "Record" button...



I think Adrian's right.. you need to slow down and explain EXACTLY what you want to do. The thread started off talking about BPM's and then now your talking about how you want a step by step on sampling. BPM syncing and Sampling are 2 totally different things...

hmm... though it sounds like from above you are going to call me a liar...
but my MPC 4000 for the last 3-4 years has had NO issue with recording FX when recording Main Out's.

If your FX are ON then it will record them. It records EXACTLY what you hear with your speakers.
Maybe tone down the post a bit, if you want to find out what step you aren't doing correct, though
I don't know what you could be missing.

Basically get a beat going that you like and add which ever FX you want. Then go to the Record and turn the
source to "Main Out" and hit the record button. It will record what ever you are hearing including which ever
FX you have set. If you have a long delay or reverb programmed, be sure to include some extra empty
bars at the end of the Sequence to allow the Delay and Reverb to finish or the end will get cutoff in the
resulting sample...
