Midi and recording (noob)

Ok so I have my 1000, and ensoniq midi`d together and hooked up to a 2ch mixer. I`m just beginning to understand midi, and I understand it only sends information. But my question is how would I go about recording onto a laptop I know I would need a usb interface. So say I make a beat on the mpc, and keyboard then I want to put it onto Fl studio or whatever program I decide to get. If it only sends information does that mean I would have to load my samples into the program also? Ive read all these guides, but none of them seem to answer any real questions.

o man thats so not the question you should be asking. Personally im askin WTF but thats just me. So you want to do what ?? Are you trying to record the midi, or are you trying to record your Audio from mixer and MPC??? see you are not clear so try to ask specific question. and we might be able to help

my friend you need an audio interface. there are a million and one to choose from, just google that skanker...

mpc and whatever into the mixer, mixer to interface, interface to computer.

just follow this diagram...

My 2 cents :

don't get fruity loops to record audio.

also, stick with your mpc for now, and learn the basics.

then you'll be able to use more stuff in a more complex setup.

also: you should ask your questions in the right forum section (here is specific about JJ OSes)


cheers and good luck

or you can just record your keyboard into the mpc either as a sample or as an audio track, and do your arranging on the mpc.
