What do you use your 8 Out card for?

Just wondering what you guys used your 8 Out card for, if you do have it.

JL

please look at the name of that card
8 out
hmmz i could route anything from my stereo out to the 8 outputs.



WOOOOW

i use it to track 8 channels out at the same time. what do YOU use it for?

I run my 8 outputs through a mixer so I can individually separate my drums and eq/mix them individually on the board. That's what it's designed for. If you have a computer with a multichannel audio interface, you can also use the 8 outs to track your MPC sequences out to software (ProTools, Cubase, etc...) I would definitely be doing that if I had a big enough audio interface to track all of my instruments out (MPC + synths, sound modules, etc...).

I also used it on stage at gigs -
the MPC4000 was doing the main drums,
and also acting as a MIDI sampler/sound module for 2 keyboard players.

The drums went straight to the main desk via the L+R outs,
but each keyboard player got their own stuff sent to their own rig's submixer,
using 1+2 and 3+4, so they could be in control of their own sub-mix levels and put FX on themselves.

lol at the title of the thread

Well, I am planning on buying one and just wanted to know what you guys used it for. I have a digi 003 rack and plan on just tracking out to protools from the MPC. Might get the ADAT card, but don't have a need for it yet. Would like to max it out in case parts run out.

i route individual channels out on fx units.

I've heard somewhere that the 8 outputs sounds thinner than the main stereo output.
They somehow lack the MPC "sound".

Anybody that has the 8 outputs noticed that? Or is it just bullcrap.

I am also thinking of buying the 8 outputs.

Thanks

**** 8 outs! just eq your drums 1 at a time than resample it back into the mp to replace the original (takes a whole extra 3 minutes)

also if u do it like that every time you load up a beat the drums are already done inside the box!

?

I squeeze Play-Doh out of mine!

any1 fuk with the m-audio delta 1010 lt?

Yes but i guess that one day or another, if you want to finalize your song and get it mixed and mastered you need to

exteriorize the tracks. And usualy, it's at that stage that you eq and mix volumes....

I understand the point of passing your sounds into a pre-amp, eq them and sample them back in the MPC but take into account

that when all your song is finished you might have to go out again of your MPC if you need to mix your beat with vocals and want to fine edit specific parts and add reverbs and other effects, plug-ins and shit... Therefore by going out a second time of your MPC you kind of add noise and sound might deteriorate from to much transfers.....then again that was more an issue back in the "analogue" tape recording days when you had less headroom...

I think now with the 24 bits it will take more than 2 transfers generation to downgrade the quality of sounds....but i'm still careful about it.

At the same time, it would be the best of both worlds to be able to use the 4000 as the beat making, recording, editing and mixing tool.

So at the end all that's in the MPC goes directly to mastering. No mixer board or DAW.
Straight out MPC 4000 to DAT or CD and to the mastering plant.....by the way do you guys think it's possible to do that?
I mean yes it's kind of possible but would it be a good idea? And would it give a good result?

You use the MPC as your beat making machine, recording and mixing.

Would that be even better with 2 MPC's 4000. One for making the music and the other to record, edit and mix?

Today there is so much possibilities, it's kind of confusing what's the best electronic path to chose.
