Quality/format of ouputted beat

Hi I just posted this in a different section of the forum but then realised it's probably better to ask here... sorry for clogging the board....

I was wondering if anybody can answer this question thats been in my head for a long long time...

Basically I can make a beat on the mpc but I've never had the mpc (2500jj) hooked up to a computer, I've never outputted tracks seperately onto a computer software, I wouldn't know where to begin...

Saying that, my question is this - if I want to output my song at a high quality, for instance to give someone a high quality copy on a CD to listen to, or if I want to sell a beat and give the best copy to the buyer, how would I go about doing that?

Currently all I do is resample the entire song through the MPC, and it is saved in WAV format, and then I USB that over to my PC so I can listen to it on there.

Is this WAV of any good quality? How can I know? The volume of the wav song on my computer never seems to as good as if I play a professional recording on my comp, for instance.

Can someone tell me whether the wav is any decent quality, how to get it loud with clarity, how to make sure its the right bit-rate etc, and also whether a WAV would be an acceptable format if I was to attempt to sell a beat?? Does the quality change when i USB it to my computer? Any other things I need to know for a generally high quality copy of a song?

I'm sure someone knows what I'm getting at - I have looked around the forum for answers but I hoped posting these questions would get me a more specific answer!

Thanks in advance........

Whole can of worms is likely to be opened up here but I suggest you look into mixing and mastering.

Sort answer is yes wav files are good quality. They are uncompressed audio (Windows PCM format) and most likely 16bit 44.1kHz sampling rate coming from the MPC, which is identical to a CD. Typically you wont provide a download in wav though as the file is huge and 192 & 320 mp3 and possibly Flac are better options.

Basically you could try some mastering effects on the outputted stereo wave, or you could export each track (not as in song) and try and work on them with EQ, compressors and other effects to try and bring the sound more together in a multichannel audio editor or DAW. For free/cheap ones that may do what you require try Audacity (free multichannel wave editor,) Reaper and EnergyXT (affordable DAWs.)

Good luck.
