Hello I'm thinking about exporting my beats through the mpc at 16 bit. I bought a presonus soundcard the audio box usb on eBay but I heard its not good for line inputs so not sure if i can use it to track out my beats. My soundcard has not arrived yet and I don't want to buy another soundcard just for tracking. I like the way my music sounds straight from the mpc. I tried to record some tracks on the latest free jjos version so I set the audio track to record the main outs and I muted everything expect for the track I wanted to record onto track
61 which is a audio track but i hear nothing. Is this not possible ?

(note) I didn't use the mpc record window I used the jjos audio track recorder.

i dont know if i woulda bought the presouns audiobox to track with, i dont think the quality would be that bad really, but it only has 2 inputs, you can track out of 6 with your 1k! i would get an audio card that you could utilize all 6 outputs with.

honestly, if you have a soundcard that is worth its weight in anything, you would be pretty hard pressed to find a bad sound quality if your tracking out at line level.

the mic pre's would be a different story, i tracked out on my m-audio fw 410 and had no problems with sound quality, but if i plugged a mic into that, i didnt like the sound.
