Yo! Got a few questions to be able to use the machine more efficiently. So here it goes... the first one is about the quality of main out resampling...
while listenin to the track from the mp it sounds pumpin... as i dont have a decent audio card i record/resample the finished track through main outs and save as a sample to cf card....then when listenin to this file from the cf card on my laptop (ye simple laptop soundcard but the quality is too wack) ..everything sounds cheesy,flat (not like before recording u know)... is it me or its natural? Quite dissapointin))
The second question is(it might have already been covered): is it possible to play the mp's pads to trigger sounds from daws f eg like reason (when connected by midi, i mean not only synchronize, but trigger sounds)! Found the answer to the second question already. Thanks in advance.

There is a thread on here that tells you how to PLay Reason with the MPC click Home, then scroll down to MPC Studio Environments, and then click on the MPC and Reason thread, there is a video that shows you how to hook up the MPC to Reason, maybe you can watch it and help me because I have a mac, and to answer your first question, you really dont want your beat to be super load when your mixing and mastering it, you need head room so that when you apply different effects and what not you get more space to fix up your beat

)))) Ye thanks.. i wanted to know if u can trigger sounds from reason... got it from another post already
However about the first issue...
Saving tracks as samples on the cf card really **** up the whole sound...or maybe it depends on the type of track, sound.. maybe its the same thing like recording video on a memory card versus a tape(cassette)... tape quality is better?!?! so.. memory cards suck)
