Hi everyone, i need a little help here. I need to export every singe track from my pc without a midi cable. I know that i can do it by jacks from mpc to audio interface, but i must do it separately. Any ideas how to do it by " one click" from mpc to any daw, but not separately?



Thanks

A MIDI cable carries MIDI data, not audio, so would not allow you to export audio tracks anyway.

There is no 'one click' method to transfer separate tracks from an MPC to a DAW, not separately.

You can record the main MPC outputs internally, into a new sample, and transfer that. You would need to do it multiple times, once for each separate MPC track that you want to transfer, with each track soloed each time you record it internally.

Which MPC OS are you using?

Ok, that's fine, i can do that, i mean i know that i can mute tracks and export not muted to daw by audio cables> inteface> pc, but can i export every singe hihat,kick,snare, etc. separately? is there any option to mute single kick?or snare?

If you hit solo on 1 track and you hear a whole drum line that means
you banged out all your drums on 1 track.

Each instrument gets it's own track. Copy the track several times, delete all instruments except 1 different on each track. At the end you should have several tracks with only 1 instrument each. THEN you can hit solo and do your other business.

This is what I do.

Trk1, record kick and snare to get the feel going.
Trk2, copy of trk1, delete the kik here, go back to trk1 and delete the snr there.

Result, I end up with kik on trk1 and snr on trk2.

And for other traks, put whatever inst you want.

ex

Trk3, hhat.
Trk4, clap.
Trk5, horn.
Trk5, synth.
Trk6, tamb.
Trk7, tom.
Trk8, piano sample.
Trk9, Guitar sample.

etc.
etc.

Separation of tracks lets you take control of track options, the mute & solo your looking for. Also, vol, pan of each track in the mpc mixer as well.

There are many tools/features that can get you where your going, you just gotta know what they are and what combination of them to use in order to get to your vision of what you want the end result to be.

Know the features and get creative, you'll end up figuring out ALOT of stuff without even asking anyone or wondering how to do certain stuff. With time you'll run into solutions before you've even had the problems.

Glad that worked for you.
