hey people, whats good

ive been makein beats on the 2500 and recording the main outs to turn them to Wav. files then transferring the file to my laptop.

i was wondering if this degrades the song at all? maybe adds some extra coloring to the samples i already took through the Record In? And maybe it would keep the beat "as is"(meaning how i hear it on the studio monitors) if i get a audio editor for my computer and record the beat on something like audacity through a interface?


i appreciate any help, i only ask this question because i hear a difference in the beat before and after i record the main outs, i have this problem even with head phones so i know is not a acoustic treatment problem

not sure if i get you.
you're 'internally' resampling each track (or the whole beat), right? this will not degrade or alter the sound. it does not go through any analogue/digital converters. this is the shortest and most direct signal path. if you are noticing a difference, it's probably just the volume.

Like terry said, coloring comes from digital/analog/analog/digital converters.

Wav files transferred from your mpc to computer won't be colored.
Although all samples are colored when you use the sample ins on your mpc (analog/digital conversion).
Anytime anything passes through ad/da converters it's colored.
