mixdown

hey, I have my mpc 1000 now for 2 month and still have the following problem:

I convert my sequence to a song and then record the sequence to have a wave file of the finished song.

Ok the problem: My wav is about 10 times lower than the sound i made with headphones on the mpc. I have the record volume wheel fully open. How can i record a louder wav-file? Must be really easy?

Whats the reason? (sorry for my bad english

cheers

[MODE] OTHER >>GLOBAL

set Master Effects: EQ and COMPRESSOR to desired
should help.

hey thats as easy as i was thingking.. but this is tricky to find for a beginner volume all over

i opened a myspace account: you can check up this / my first beat there

ps: is 0 db the loudest opportunity possible... the beat could still be louder...

chhers and thanks

Do you have full level On/Off?

lol!

full level: this is only for the pads not? my pads are enough loud... i have the volume knob of the mpc only a little open and my recorded sound is not loud after the mixdown. I have to turn the computer to the maximum volume to hear it still not loud

i mean i have the volume wheel of the mpc almost not open before recording and the beat is banging... after recording not possible to compare so silent

try also: TRIM/EDIT/NORMALISE on your WAV file

incredible dindnt think that this is that difficult... still dont get it.. now thrying with freeware recorging programm audacity.. everywhere not enough loud

What type of connection (Cables wise) are you using to track your beat out the mpc into your PC?

i use chinch from the mpc out to pc line in... i dont think that the cables are the problem... i turn all volume from my computer full up, also that from the windows sound manager and recording software... and if i turn the compressor of the mpc on and make it louder it sounds shitty but louder...

hey pros what are your settings, cant be that difficult? just want to catch the sound like i hear it on the mpc.

i mean if i turn all up on the recording software its not half the volume as an bought mp3 file

hey is it maybe better to record to the computer with a mixer.. then i could turn the volume up on the mixer to make it louder.. how are you doin that?

hey mpc allstars: i konw this is offtopic.. but i just browsed this website http://www.myspace.com/dimosbeats
.. just for those who want to hear a dope swiss producer.. one day i want to sound like him, but first i have to learn the mixdown

Did you check the MASTER LEVEL Settings ([MODE] > [Other] > Global)?
