Last night I got my first track laid down it sounds ??????? IM kinda hard on my self so I'll say it sounds o.k. But anyway after I had it done I wanted to lower some off the individual tracks volume or levels which ever. So I let the track play then went to mixer function. I have the eb16 installed in my 2000XL. But the only volume that I could adjust was the first track none of the other tracks could be adjusted. Can someone help. And is there a way to take the track and import it into sound forge and add some effects to it. I dont have my computer hooked up to my Mpc I use floppies for everything. Also is there a way to hook my mpc up to my computer I only have a soundblaster live card installed in my PC. THANX!

the volume faders in the mixer is not for separate tracks but for separate pads. When you´re in the mixer, hit the pad you want to adjust, boom, you jump to that fader and you can adjust it.

"...is there a way to take the track and import it into sound forge and add some effects to it. I dont have my computer hooked up to my Mpc I use floppies for everything."


No, not a track. If you´re desperate you can save a sound as a wav to floppy. Open it in Sound forge. Manipulate it. Save it back as a wav to the floppy and then load it back into the mpc and replace the original sound on that pad.

when you are in the mixer screen, it you press a pad it will highlight that sound on the mixer. then use the scroll wheel to adjust the volume of that sound.
