Hi all,

I'm trying to use the MPC to add compression to a WAV file of approximately 50 minutes and then export it as WAV again.
What would be the best approach?
I'm trying to assign it to a pad, but it's difficult to work with that, because I would have to match the bars to the WAV file.

Anyway, any ideas?

One 50 minute wav file? One 50mb wav file?
One of those choices is gonna be hard to deal with on 2gb MPC.
You add compression to any of the 4 fx slots on the pad, program submix, etc, etc.

Yeah lol, I mean, in controller mode.
But how can I export the WAV file with the correct length?

Bounce to sample maybe?

I don't use the software so I don't have advice on that.
