Page 51. Read your manual. Recording the main out.

No soundcard or daw needed.

you been a member here for over 11 months.... what the hell have you been doing in all that time?

Well I'm pretty sure that the manual's been collecting dust...

i work a bastard of a job atm n had some family illness we had to deal with lifes been complicated n just been getting time again to start enjoying this great bit of gear. problem is i record a song assign it to a pad hit the pad nothging plays?

fkn give up

okay for the time being...

get yourself an rca to 1/8th inch adapter




also get yourself two of these






basically you need to get your left and right 1/4" mono cables turned into a single 1/8" stereo headphone jack. Those two things can be found at radio shack for about 10 bucks in total.


now the 1/4" ends go into your mpc master output... the headphone looking jack goes in to the back of your computer. Most likely the red or blue input hole.... (the line in is what you need)


now you have what you need.



you can download audacity for free off the official website (google it) it is a basic recording program that works well.

^^ don't do that, just give up

tambourines are simple to play

yeah or if you can, get a 1/8" stereo to 1/4" mono adapter set...



you plug it into the line in... or mic in.... basically not the headphone/speaker output....
