Hi!
I` m new to the MPC 1000 after having used the Maschine MK3 for over 3 years but now I wanted to go standalone and use an older MPC model. My question refers to leveling and leaving enough headroom to export my beats for mixdown in Cubase.
I set the master output in the MPC prefs to -6db to get a decent level while making my beats but still leave some headroom overall. The individual tracks are leveld within the track mixer in JJOS2XL.
My question is: Can the levels of the individual tracks in the MPC itself already be clipping but I don` t see it because there isn` t ny type of metering in the MPC 1000? How an I check then if my indidual tracks are too hot or if they still leave a decent amount of headroom? Of course I also truts my ears and listen if there` s any clipping going on.
All my sound sources (Sampling, Mic, Synths) go into a Mackie VLZ4 1202 and from the main out of the Mackie to the record in of the MPC 1000. Main out of the MPC goes into my audio interface.
I don` t want to record into Cubase in real time. I want to solo my individual tracks in the MPC 1000 itself and then use JJOS` s mixdown feature to bounce the individual stems out after I have put all my Sequences into a song (e.g. Drums, Bass, Samples, Synth, SFX, Vox).
THX!
