Whus up y'all.... Can someone give me some info on using the MPC's 8 outs with a Digi002 and ProTools ? Right now, when I track my beats, I track 'em in one at a time. A friend of mine told me that I could just use the 8 outs on the MPC and track all of them in at once. I'd like to do this, but don't quite know how.

peace

Mac.....not like you to trash a question like so....hehehe

Yo redgreenz, On your tracking question....

how are you hooked up?

Do the outs of your MPC go to your Desk? Or to a patch bay?

Or are they currently just Idle?

Me,My 60 outs are hooked up to inputs 9 thru 16 on my mixer....
But the Mixer is set up so 4 analog omni outs go direct to the 001's inputs 3-6. recording 4 at a time.....
Also, if i want to record digitally from my mixer...I'll just do 2 tracks at a time via coaxial spdif to the 001....Making sure i pan hard left & hard right on the outs being sent from the mixer!

i have a 3000 and protools i do this every day. just run a snake cable from the back of the mpc to the 002. assign the outs in the mpc(in the mixer settings) and the ins in protools. real simple. 8 mono tracks or four stereo tracks. track by track would put you on mbox level.

Nah, El was right in tellin me to RTFM!!!!! I figured it out in less time than it took to post my question. I run my 3000 through a JoeMeek VC3Q (pre amp, compressor and eq) using outs 1 and 2. I come out of the JoeMeek on two mono channels, then straight into inputs 5 and 6 on my Digi002, and BAM.. thick-n-crispy drums. I plan on droppin some bread on an Avalon Sp-737 next month, those things are the shyt, but the JoeMeek works great for now. Thanks for gettin back.

peace
