TRACKING FROM A MPC3000 OVER TO PROTOOLS...SHOULD I OR NOT?

IS IT THE BEST WAY THAT I TRACK AUDIO FROM MY MIDI GEAR(REASON&MPC3000) OVER INTO PROTOOLS TRACK FOR TRACK OR SHOULD I LEAVE IT AS MIDI AND JUST SYNC UP TO PROTOOLS?

Try a couple ways, like everything there is no one right way depending on the dynamics of your track.

do it dawg

Sync your MP tp protools and dump each track individualy.

WELL WHAT IF I NEED TO MAKE CHANGES SOMEWHERE IN THE SONG LIKE DRUM PATTERN CHANGES OR SOUND CHANGES...SAY IN MY MPC3000 I HAVE 4-5 DIFFERENT SEQUENCES AND THE PATTERN CHANGES IN THEM,SHOULD I JUST TRACK IN THE DIFFERENT SEQUENCES AND CHAIN THEM TOGETHER IN PROTOOLS? THATS WHY I WAS ASKING IF I SHOULD LEAVE IT AS MIDI,THAT WAY I WONT HAVE TO TRACK IN(PAIN IN THE ASS) I CAN JUST REPLY THE MIDI NOTES..HOLLA BACK

What you are doing is nothing out of the ordinary. Use <song mode> to chain your sequences. Sync the MP and protools using midi time code. Dump each instrument individually.

Yes you should track from your mp into pro-tools

THANKS YOU GUYS..I JUST HATE THE FACT THAT WHEN I HAVE SOME SOUNDS THAT CARRY OVER INTO THE NEXT BAR,THE AUDIO OF THAT SOUND TENDS TO MAKE A CUTTING SOUND WHEN THE BEAT LOOPS..FOR EXAMPLE IF I HAD AN 8 BAR LOOP BEAT AND I HAVE A STRING THAT IS PLAYED ON THE 8TH BAR,WHEN THE BEAT LOOPS AT BAR 9,THE STRING BY IT BEING AUDIO, THE TAIL END OF IT TENDS TO GET CUT OFF INSTEAD OF IT LINGERING OVER..WHAT CAN I DO ABOUT THAT?

You need to fix that by extending your last bar or snap that last note to the right locater in your audio. It sounds like your track is not looping
correctly your last note may be falling on the 1 once you start tracking
into pro-tools with the grid and spot function you should be able to correct
this problem.

DONT GET ME WRONG,THE 8 BAR BEAT LOOPS PERFECTLY..ITS ALWAYS THE TRACK THAT HAS A SOUND THAT CARRY OVER(LIKE A STRING OR SOMTHING WITH A LONGER RELEASE)..I THINK WHAT I MIGHT NEED TO DO IS JUST RECORDS THAT TRACK A LITTLE PAST THE 8TH BAR,MABEY TO THE 9TH BAR,JUST AS LONG AS I CAPTURE THE COMPLETION OF THE SOUND..(':roll:')

just dont record that track in grid mode, put PT in slip.

I beg yo pardon you put it in grid mode when you [edit]
thanks Doveski

Solo that track and record it for the full length(including the tail end) and cut and paste it as needed. Doesn't matter what mode your in when you do this.

THANKS FOR ALL THE REPLY'S GUYS..THE INFO IS HELPING ME OUT ALOT..I THINK WHAT IM GOING TO DO IS SET UP THE SEQUENCES IN SONG MODE ON THE MPC AND TRACK OUT THE AUDIO LINEAR(LIKE TAPE) INTO PROTOOLS INSTEAD OF THE CUTTING AND PASTING TECHNIQUE..THIS WAY I KNOW THAT THE AUDIO WONT CHOP OFF WHEN IT IS LOOPED

Usually sounds better to. Then Overdub as needed.
