Post your views and questions about the Akai MPC2500
By Mistamoon86 Fri Mar 21, 2014 8:47 am
I want to ask you couple of questions and hear your opinions:

1. What are the best analog or digital recorders or interfaces to track out beats, in channels, from an mpc so you can get sound almost as it sounds on a mpc?

2. Is it possible to connect other, older akai samplers like s2000 or s3000xl with an mpc2500. I can get it cheap but i never tried because the people who sell those are not in the same city as me, and i red in manual that mpc2500 is not compatible with other then s5000 and s6000?

3. Is it possible to re-sample from 16bit to 12bit on mpc2500 like you can do that on mpc2000xl for example?

4. Is there some MTRs that dont need extra audio interface to connect it to Cubase so you can manage project directly?

Thanks in advance

1. Avid ProTools HDX
2. Yes
3. MPC 2500 is only 16bits, pretty sure so is 2000xl, being a sampler it can sample any bith depth source
4. :hmmm:

By 4. i meant, is there some type of multitrack recorders that can be also connected to pc via firewire or usb, so you can manipulate some tracks in cubase or protools without extract them and puting them in recorder.

Thanks for answer

I"m not too familiar with track recorders, but if you going to end up in cubase then might as well record to cubase IMO

I know alot of the Boss units have USB ports on the back, and act as a USB storage drive when you plug them in to a PC
