SEQ.file into MP3 file ????

I started tracking my my complete beats last nite for the first time and noticed some big issues. As I dont have the same instrument or sample on each track, the mpc seemed to change the alot of the track info like sample and volume on most tracks past the first seq in the song. The pattern was the same but the volume change and sample changing p%@$#d me off big time.
Is this just how the mpc does it or am I using it wrong?

Note: if you already have a SONG ready, you can jump to step 3.

1. prepare all your sequences (intro, chorus, etc)

2. In SONG mode (MODE > PAD 16), set the sequence order you want; a SONG is basically a "list" of sequences.

3. You need to convert your song into a sequence, as the MPC's RECORD mode can't work while the unit is in SONG mode. This is easy, you just press F4 and then F5 to confirm. This should convert your song and store it in the next available (unuses) sequence slot. When the conversion is done, you will jump automatically out of song mode, with the song (now a sequence) active and ready to play.

4. go to RECORD mode and set the source to MAIN OUT (essentially the MPC's "own" outputs routed BACK into itself)

5. Set the record time to the MAX you can - Press RECORD (F6) - the MPC "waits" for an audio level to peak through

6. Press PLAY START - Your song will play, and the MPC will record it.

7. When the song is over, stop both the recording (F6) and the sequencer (STOP button). Press F5 to keep the sample in memory.

8. Save the sample (song mixdown) to the Compact Flash card: MODE > PAD 3

What Now?
What you get out of this process is a standard CD quality recording (16 Bit, 44,100Hz Stereo) of your song. You can move this large WAV file to your computer where you can directly burn it on an audio CD.

Of course you don't get separated instruments out of this, but it is a nice quick "fix" for those who want their MPC songs recorded decently without breaking the bank.[/quote]





what up people? I have done exactly this but when it takes me out of song mode when i hit play the first sequence plays fine but, when it goes into the second one, the ending of the first sequence keeps stuttering over the next few sequences. HELP PLEASE!![quote][/quote]
