TRACKING OUT, CHANGE, & 24BIT!!!

I would like to see.. tracking out feature..like this

lets say you have a whole song made blah, blah.. instead of tracking out with midi and all that,.. you can just select something nd it makes a new folder with all the track of the song in wav.file.. like songdrums.wav songhihat.wav songsnare.wav and ect so then you just connect to computer and drag files to protools, and ect.


2nd this feature is from the new mpc..
like i want us to be able to switch style of mpc ...mpc60, mpc3000, and mpc2000

and 3rd
instead of 16 bit we should be able to drag 24 bit or be like the mpc 4000 and work as a 24bit sampler...


if any of this is possible holla...and help a brotha out.

im just trying to make the mpc 2500 be able to still hold it own vs the new mpc.
since it might be to expensive for some of us to cop.

thanks

Hmm, this would be amazing...I wonder if it possible.

do not worry about this. in many ways, a mpc running jjos is the most sophisticated sequencing environment on the planet. it does things no other hardware does and there is plenty, plenty of opportunity for future development on our end.

i moved your thread because it is more of a discussion than a feature request.

regarding 24 bit, the mpc1000/2500 cannot use 24 bit wav files.

regarding tracking out, could you try to describe your idea more thoroughly?

nothing is impossible if we can reach jjos guy.. and tell about it i bet he can do it.
call it the boom effect ha jp but yeah gotta keep pushing

okay thanks and Well i want to see if jj can make it compatible with 24bits. Just a though idea.



the tracking out effect let me try to explaing it.. Its kinda like resampling on the mpc but any who let me try to explain a bit more.

You have a song you did on the mpc.
A song with 4 tracks. Drums, snare, highhat, and sample.
Lets also say the song is 3minutes long.

Instead of tracking it out the beat into protools or software you can just have like a feature where you can extract/convert the tracks outta of the song into a new folder.

So in the folder you will have 4 new wav.files each 3 minutes long.
like this:

DrumsTrack1.wav
SnareTrack2.wav
HighHatTrack3.wav
SampleTrack4.wav

so now you just save mpc and connect the mpc to computer via usb.
and drag the folder with the 4 track each 3 minutes and you can drag the wav files to protools or what ever program now you can mix add effect and ect.

Ditches the tracking out ...so work flow is faster.
Especially when your making a beat on the spot in the studio. You can just use that feature and boom!! drag to protools and the engineer wont have to worry about tracking out and blah blah yeah multi tracking is pretty fast but those who track out track by track its pretty annoying and kills the vibe. Well Thanks for reading.

I still feel it a feature request. I think it can be done.

doubt it: http://www.mpc-forums.com/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=143534

this would be awesome

You could always just resample out put of MPC running the sequence. Sure you gotta do it for each track or even do two mono tracks at the same time, cos it drums anyways right. So maybe just 2 or 3 resamples of the sequence (loop mode off) output so they all start at end the same and you have the waves you want.

true but takes to long might as well track out to computer.
im trying to ditch the tracking out.

The tracking out feature is a brillant idea!

except the issue of 128mb ram...

So in the folder you will have 4 new wav.files each 3 minutes long.

3 minutes at 16 bit 44.1 khz = 30 mb.
4 x 30 = 120.
are you making your beats with only 8 mb??
the 1000/2500 simply does not have enough ram for this to be a reasonable possibility.

What the OP is talking about is an automated bounce of each track, I think. With how slow USB is on the MPC I'm not sure this would save much time.

What I do is sequence track mutes and then chop it up in my DAW. If you use the assignable outs this doesn't take long. While it's recording in you can audition effects or EQ on the tracks, play with their levels, etc. There's much to keep a person busy.

But I generally don't wait that long to move things to the computer. I track out pretty regularly and throw things into my DAW's sampler which I then trigger with the MPC. This gives me a ton more polyphony. I use the digital connection between my soundcard and the MPC and more often than not samples make many, many passes back and forth.

yeah, I really like the idea of bouncing indivdual tracks. or "resampling" the entire track option.

right now you have an optionin song mode (incase you guys forgot), that does most of this already. you can export your song to wav.
you can accomplish bouncing of each track by using pad mutes.

1.create your song
2.mute all tracks
3.unmute the first track
4.go to song mode and export songn as wav
5.repeat 3 & 4 for all tracks you want to export as wav

the differance between this existing function and what the OP is describing would be that there would be an automatic function for to export each track as thier own wav.

I like this idea, here is how i would implement it:

1.add to the existing function (song mode export as wav dialog)
2.add the ability to select track(s), then commit the export
3.all tracks not selected would be temporarily muted, while the others would not and would be exported as wav
4.you would have to do an export for each track - no biggie, after export is finished form previous track, just reopen the dialog and select a differant track, rinse, repeat.

Save to compact flash and load that via PC in less than 5 minutes.
