What type of software you are using and what's connected to the M audio?

sorry for late reply, im using fl studio at the minute, and have jack leads coming from mpc to that..

but i heard theres a way to assign specific mpc pads to mpc outputs on the back of it?

there is, and it's explained in your mpc manual.

it's usually on the 'mixer' screen, the 'individ' button. hit the pad and cursor up to the box above the level meter and rotate til through the numbers - these are your outputs.

this all depends on what mpc you have.

you assign the pads to the outputs, then you hook those outputs up to the audio interface and record all those inputs at once....each input assigned to each channel in your daw.

you can maybe start to see how which software / mpc / interface you are using all require different methods to get it to work - but the abstract idea is the same for all of them.
