Hi!

I want to sync my mpc to logic pro to get a nice mix and master on my beats..

So, I see that you can sync using a midi to usb cable but not record the audio with onl the sync. What do I need to do? What equipment do I need?

Maybe I have to connect from the Stereo Out to audio In from my external sound card, right?

Sorry for my bad English! :lol:

You need 1 midi cable which goes from SOUNDCARD MIDI OUT to MPC MIDI IN. Then Setup logic and mpc (midi clock is the easiest):

"Logic Pro 8 as Master, MPC1000 / MPC500 as Slave" http://www.akaipro.com/synclogic

Note that in general midi-delay is ~6ms so put that into logic preferences to get your beats aligned to grid:

Then, as you said, connect audio from MPC OUT to SOUNDCARD IN, arm (Rec) an audio track in logic for correct inputs and off you go.
