I was messing with the MTC last night using the 2500 as the master and pro tools 6.7 as the slave. I dont like recording all my synth melodies into my mpc, and then truncating, and then re sequencing them so im trying a new method and tracking it all from my synth straight to pro tools while sequenced on my MPC.

My question is, do I have to record each track that i made 1 by 1 using this method? Im pretty much just soloing the track, and playing the song i made in song mode all the way through, and then soloing the next track, and doing it again. Is thier a faster way using this method? Is thier a better method period?

Hope yall can help, I appreciate it.

You need an interface with multiple ins, and the ability to record multiple tracks simultaneously.

yes, i have that.
I have the delta 1010 which allows me 10 ins/outs. I have the 8 outs of my MPC hooked up to that. However, the Synth i have, doesnt have the outs. It only has the main out. I hooked the main out of my synth to 2 of the ins of my delta 1010. all the midi is hooked up correctly between the midi controller, the mpc, the synth, and my delta1010.

Once my song is made, I solo a track on the mpc, playing from the synth, which is sequenced from my MPC, and record it 1 by 1 into the delta 1010. The MTC is working ok it seems. Im asking, is thier a better/faster/more efficient way to do this?

I hope that clears things up.

Well if your synth has only got 2 outputs, then you're stuck to doin em one at a time..

If using mono synth lines you could pan 2 of them hard left & right then you could do 2 at once..

But to be honest there's something to be said for tracking one channel per go - you get the chance to really listen to what you're recording and check for any unwanted noizes/ clicks etc..
