FIRST I CONNECT MY (M-AUDIO 1X1 MIDI USB) CABLE GOING INTO (1) OF MIDI IN AND THE OTHER OUT GOING INTO ( A ) OF THE MIDI OUT BEHIND THE MPC.

I THEN HIT MODE NUMBER 9 PAD (MIDI/SYNC) TO SET THE SYNC IN TO (1) SLAVE AND SYNC OUT TO (1A) MASTER / MIDI CLOCK

AFTER THAT, I THEN CLICK ON TRANSPORT-SYNC SETUP IN MY CUBASE TO SET MY M-AUDIO 1X1 MIDI USB AS MIDI CLOCK



AFTER HAVING MY 4 EMPTY MONO AUDIO TRACKS IN CUBASE, I THEN CLICK ON THE TEMPO SPOT IN CUBASE AS FIXED AND SET THE EXACT TEMPO THE WAY IT IS ON THE MPC.


******MY PROBLEM NOW IS*******

WHEN I PRESS RECORD IN CUBASE, IT STARTS TO SYNC AND RECORD BUT THERE IS NO INPUT SOUND GOING INTO THE CUBASE TRACKS.


EXT APPEARS ON THE SCREEN OF THE MPC WHEN I PRESS ON RECORD. BUT NO INPUT SOUND IN THE CUBASE TRACKS...


IM THINKING IF THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE M-AUDIO MIDISPORT 1X1??
IF THAT IS THE CASE , WHAT DO I HAVE TO BUY TO MAKE THIS SYNC TO TRACK WORK ???



PLEASE HELP??????

You have to connect your asignable outputs or your stereo/digital outputs to the inputs of your pc (sound card) ....

the midi cable is only for signal exchance (to control another unit) not for data or sound exchance..

Let me know if this helped you out...

do that each time you record one track.
