BETTER SOUND FOR RECORDIN?

Hi,
i make music whit the mpc 500.
when i finish the first part of the beat (all in the mpc) i usually record it in real time on LOGIC to add the midi synths.
but the sound from the mpc rec is too bad. i record conecting 2 plugs from the output of the mpc into a channel of my mixer, and the main out from the mixer is connected to the interface. (and the interface connected to the macintosh...)
How can i rec the sound from the mpc clean as i listened from the sampler?
is there another way? midi? or what?

2 plugs from the output of the mpc into a channel of my mixer

if you are seriously mixing two channels to one channel like that, using a y-adapter or similar, that is why your sound is bad.

try unplugging one output, or route each output to it's own channel.

scuse me. i write it bad.
the 2 plugs (out) are connected in 2 in of the mixer

There's a couple of factors that could affect why your sound isn't up to par.

Just like a sound man has to make adjustments to make a band sound good, the same goes with recording music.

It's all in the eq. Knowing what frequencies that are over powering and which ones that need boosting comes with experimenting and getting use to training your ears.

And pretty much, that's it...it's all in the ears. And since we can't judge what it is you're needing, you have to use your own ears and make whatever neccessary adjustments.
