mute question

hey u smart mpc heads wat up i have a question for all of u guys i got a majot problem i want to record ma beats into pro tools but i want to mute but can figure it out say i want to jus record ma drum first de snare den bass den hihat den sample im want to know how i would go about doing soo

Either "Mute Track" or "Mute Group". Try each one and see if it works for you. Both are in the manual, also.

You need to have different tracks. Track one = mute one. Track two = mute two, and so on.

ayo wen i do tha track mute how would i go about doing so like say ma sample is on pad 1-5 ma bass is on 6 drum on 7 and hi hat on 8 how would i try to mute em/
? thank you for helping me out and the reason i really dun like readin tha manual dont get me worng i do but wen i read i see shit backwards soo it makes me pissed so im sorry for askin questions ite dont get all mad at mi nd shit

its cool dude. me and eimer is some of the "nice" cats on here. lol

ok, track mute button is right below the pad bank "C" button. when you click it, 12 little dots will appear on your screen under the words, "Track Mute." (12 dots=12 pads on the 500)
when you see this screen, tap the pad(s) that you want muted. and there you go, those tracks will be muted.(pad 1=track1, pad 2=track2, and so on....)

ayo thank you soo much for helpng me out i really appricate it thanks

No problem, man. did you get like you wanted it?

Yeah, sorry my English is rather bad!

ya i got wat i wanted but not really u see say i have a beat already and wat not right soo ma other question is sorry for being a pain so say i jus want to hear how my drums nd how they go like wen i orginally hear them in ma beat how can i stop everythig like ma hi hat snare sample and just hear how i did my drum like kick kick pause where tha snare is u know so on is there a way to hear it? thank you for helping me out hear

well thats basically the only way possible. unless u must have done your drums, hi hats and snares all on the same track? this is how it's suppose to go down. (ok, drums=tr1, hi hats=tr2, snares=tr3. say, you want your hi hats and snares muted, which are on tr2 and tr3. hit track mute and tap pad 2 and 3.click play and the ONLY track that should be playing is tr1, which are the drums.) if you've tried this already, check to see if you havent layed down all your samples onto one track. if not, then i honestly have no idea....hope it works.

ya i think i did put everything into one track how would i go about doin that track one sample track 2 drum etc?

aight, i used to do the same thing when i first started using the 500. and i had to start the whole beat over. lol

umm, i explained probably the best i could. i'd look in the manual, still, if i couldn't explain good it enough.

or just pm some other expierieced user on here.

ite ya im not trying to do that make ma whole beats ova again it was bad enough it took long for me to find the right shit u know

copy the track 5 times, then go through and delete the sounds that you want to discard for each track, so just leave kick on 1, snare on 2, hihat on 3 etc.
then do your mutes
it is quite easy to get carried away and do everything in one track
:#

alright thanx but wen i do that how do i put em to tha track like i press track den i press do it or wat ever
