Burning a CD with 3.09

Is this possible, if so what are the steps?

nobody knows anything about this?

Well, the MPC1k doesn't have a CD burner....so you're going to need to get the music on your computer/hard disc recorder with CD burner somehow. This depends on what kind of equipment you have. If you want to use your computer, you'll need to link your MPC to your computer with an audio interface of some kind, then record in Audacity or your DAW of choice, then burn to CD on your computer. If you have a DP-02 or similar hard disk recorder, RTFM, record your song and then burn it with the recorder.

What's your setup like?

I have the MPC 2500 with the cdrom drive. I just need to know if it is capable of burning your tracks that you create within the MP

if anyone knows how to save songs onto cd from within the mpc 2500 let me know, because i only know how to save samples and the manual (scratch that- the whole of the internet) doesn't seem to answer my question. i have a sneeky feeling you can't do it and to be fair it was the only reason i bought it in the first place... it's reasonably useless in general, that cd drive

does it burn audio cd's in 3.09????

i'll check when i get home (i'm at work), i have 3.09 i haven't tried since i upgraded

Copied from another post, I take no credit for this:

1. Once you have your sequences in the proper order in [SONG] Mode, use
the [F4] (Convrt) button to convert this Song to a Sequence
2. Go back to the 'Main' screen and make sure the sequence that is being
displayed is your newly converted Song
3. Turn 'Loop' OFF
4. Press [MODE] + [RECORD] (Pad5)
5. Use the DATA wheel to change 'Input' to 'Main Out'
6. Increase the 'Time' field to reflect the length of your Song (or
simply max it out)
7. Press [F6] (Record) and then press [Play/Start]
8. When your Song is finished, press [F6] (Stop)
9. If you are happy with the recording, name the file and then press [F6]
(Enter) and then [F5] (Keep)
10. [MODE] + [SAVE] the file to a CF Card or the internal Hard Drive
11. In the "Save" menu, press [F3] (Utility)
12. Change "Do:" Field to "Write Audio CD"
13. Browse to the newly saved Song (either on the CF Card or Internal Hard
Drive)
14. When you finish burning, make sure you "Close Session" to make the CD
readable....


So far im just waiting to fill my with about ten tracks see what happens

That's for the Akai OS, the JJOS is slightly different but the steps are basically the same. Basically convert your song into one large pattern, record the whole beat to your HDD/CompactFlash, and save that as a sample to your CD drive. Once you've burnt all your beats , you have to close the session so it'll be readable by CD players.

it works, although wouldn't play in anything other than mpc, maybe i used a cheap cdr...

hmmm....thats interesting about only playing in MPC i'll let you know where mine plays.

If you don't close the session once you're done burning all your songs, it'll be a Data CD instead of an Audio CD (readable by CD players).
