HELLO

I have the MPC X SE + an SP 404. I would like to know if the mpc's internal sound card is OK or if I should buy an external sound card.

my use is to produce on the mpc and sample on a DAW so i have 2 speakers my sp 404 a master keyboard and so the mpc x se

Thank you for your [/b]feedback on the value of the internal sound card compared to external cards such as ssl 2 for example.

Not many people care about the sound quality of an MPC audio interface (except those who prefer a more vintage sound). When you connect an external audio interface, note that you won't be able to adjust the latency values, and it will result in higher latency compared to the internal interface.
