MPC ----> Mixer ----> PC

I am going to be connecting my keyboard synth and 2 mics along with the MPC 1000 up to a mixer in the near future....(finances pending)


Now heres my dillema...I have my MPC currently hooked up the the pc using the SPDIF/Fiber Optic Cable because it records in much better quality than stereo. Is there a mixer that uses SPDIF/Fiber Optic or do all of them come equipped with this?

Im asking this because I have an old ass 4 channel mixer I stole from school and it doesn't have digital in or out.


any help would be greatful

Go for a digital mixer. They have the digital ins/outs along with USB and sometimes Firewire connections for the PC.

digital mixers go for like a g bro, get a sound card with multiple analog ins a nd a digital in, plug yur mpc into the digital ,your mixer into the analog....

well, the problem is I dont want to record through analog/stereo into my PC because I get unbelievable feedback when anything is plugged into the AUX.


im using a soundblaster audigy platinum

analog in recording is a standard bro ,just fix your feedback problem,

yah you know what...it must be my soundcard


all of the sudden i was getting a shitty scratching sound through the digital out.

this kind of pissed me off
