Tracking into Protools (help)

I just started using protools a few days ago.But just to check it out i laid down a kick,snare and hat in the mpc(XL) and tracked them into protools.The only problem i had is in the mixer i assigned them to tracks 1-2-3 of the 8 outs.But for some reason i have to change the track to get the hat to track out.So instead of it being 1-2-3 it was like 1-2-5.Any advice?

To clarify.......let's say i have 8 sounds,8 pads.When i assign them to the mixer why is it not 1-8?


Appreciate any help.


Peace.

cause you crossed up your 8 cable snake somewhere.

I hooked up the snake outs first and then connected them to the MPC and even wrote them down just to keep track but i'll check.Thanks.


Peace.

Need more info to help you out. What audio interface are u using? How do you have your inputs label in pro tools? Is your signal chain correct?(are wires going where you think there going?)

Are any of the samples stereo?

Yeah a few of them are and i have them set in the mixer as 1/2,3/4..etc.

I'm using the M-audio delta 1010Lt with an 8 cable snake.So the outs correspond to the ins.I'm sure of that.I'm not sure what you mean about how i have the inputs labeled.I'm new to protools and the XL.(I use to use the 2K)The signal chain is right as far as i can tell though.But i'll just keep plugging away at it until i get it right.Appreciate the help though.


Peace.

Appreciate the help fellas but i got it now.It was an easy fix actually that just had to do with the input paths.Just created a few more.........panned the drums left and right and it tracked correctly.I only tried it on 8 pads so hopefully things will go well when i create a full beat and track it.Appreciate it though.

Peace.
