Problem With Exporting Beats

When I try exporting beats, using the record mains out method, It plays back distorted. Any ideas? Could it be an internal problem, feel like ive tried everything. I have an mpc 2500.

This is a first for me, I went to check out the report for this post and the exact same bot reported itself as spam, lmao.

Has anyone else experienced this problem. When you record mains out is it not suppose to be identical to what you were working on.

You need a second MPC2500 since this is the MPC5000 forum.

What OS are you running on your 2500?

Wow. Thought no one was going to reply to this. Under GLOBAL it states ha i have version 1.24. If thats any help I hope someone can help me with this problem. It still hasnt gone away. Do you think i need o update my OS?

How do i check that?

ok so ive checked the ram in the back. took it out and clicked it back in. When you record mains out should it sound identical to what you have playing. When i listen to the mains out recording it is sill sounding slightly distorted. In the MASTER section i am using both the EQ and compressor for this track and when i record mains out with both of these off it comes out sounding much more identical to what it sounded like going in... however the track doesnt sound as good without he Master EQ and compression on. Does this help?

Yes...I have the MASTER EQ and MASTER Compressor parameters exactly the way i want them. The beat is sounding tight when i press the play start button... i then go to record it using the MAINS OUT. Once the recording is done i play it back and it sounds distorted, Not like it does when i play the actual project. How can this be right?

Im recording using the Mains Out Input on pad 5 (RECORD) with the THRESHOLD:0 MODE: STEREO and MONITOR:ON. When recording the beat has finished you have the option to RETRY, PLAY or KEEP the new sample. I.e the exported beat. Im simply holding down the PLAY option on f4 to hear back the recording on my mpc. This is where it sounds distorted. Im using a pair of headphones plugged into the front jack input. There are no other sources at play here. Just he MPC.

Holy shit man... you just blew my **** mind. Thats it. Thanks alot m8 your a genius.
