NEED HELP!!!

whats good y'all .im very new to this so please bear with me...im trying to get my music i've made from my m.p.c. 2500, to my computer. i do have a cd drive in my cpu. i want to email them to some people. i've been pulling my hair out trying to get them on my protools but im stuck.how do i get them from the mpc to protools.if yall can provide me with any info, insight or links that will help me on this matter, i will appreciate it...thanks

what have you tried?

you can track out individual tracks and record them separately in protools, or you can just create a single WAV file on the MPC then copy that to your computer, skipping protools entirely

First, I'm not a pro tools user but the concept is pretty much the same with all daws.

In the simplest of terms, you'll want to slave your mpc via midi time code from your daw (with a midi cable connected from your s/c's midi out to your mpc's midi in) so you'll be able to sync and record the mpc's audio to a stereo audio track in pt.

You'll have to set both pt to send out mtc and the mpc set to recieve mtc for this to work of course.

Or you can freewheel it by hitting record first on pt then hit your play button the mpc then line it up after you finish.

is there a tutorial that can show me how to create a wav file on the mpc?

very helpful!!! good looks pastor

If your going wav route.. make your song on a sequence. Like 28 bars long. That will give 4 bar Intro that leads to the chorus/8 bar melody that ends at the stat of the 16 bar verse. Form there. Make a new sequence for each track that's 24 bars long. So, kick,snare,clap,hat,fx,fill, pad, melody, excetera excetera.. are one one track and one sequence each. Convert the sequence's to individual wavs. Name them!!. Drop each wav into individual audio tracks in protools. They will have the same timing and loop perfectly. From there you can copy and paste out the tracks and create a song. Do drop outs, and mutes, and automation. Then eq each track ,do panning, reverb,phasing,compressing, and coloring. Super easy to do and your sound quality will rape the people who just solo. Whole song and try eqing that.

So. Seq 1 name song. Copy track 1 from seq 1 to track one on seq 2. Name that kick... then track 2 on seq 1 to track 1 on seq 2. Name that seq clap. And so on until all tracks have there own named sequence. Get it? Put the song sequence on a protools track also for reference of track placement. Just remove of before bounce. And to keep as a master file.

Good luck yo.. ONE......

thanks for the insight my dude!!! appreciate it

now how do i convert the sequences into individual waves? lol im a lil lost
