So does your mpc2000 have the additional eight outputs? And what audio interface are you using with Reason 7?

You have a couple of options.

The easiest would be to record the audio output of the MPC into Reason, and then use that as a sample within Reason.

The hard way would be to transfer a MIDI file from the MPC, load that into Reason, and transfer the MPC samples into Reason, and setup Reason so that it plays the samples from the MIDI file, in the same way the MPC does internally.

I don't use Reason, so can't give you any help with specifics on how to record audio into Reason.

Someone else will have to try and help with that.

You would plug the audio outputs of the MPC into the audio inputs of your computer audio interface.

Then you would set Reason to record audio from those inputs on your computer audio interface.

How you do that within Reason, I don't know, wait for someone to help you, or look on YouTube or Google for some tutorials about recording audio into Reason, or read the Reason manual.

I have a STEINBERG UR-22 and I do not have the 8 outs. My setup is basic.

TECHNICS 1200 + stanton m203 dj mixer + MPC 2000 + stienberg UR-22 audio interface + windows laptop with reason 7

homie, put ur outputs of ur mpc to the audio inputs of ur computer, via cables or sound card. in reason create an audio track in the create menu, set ur audio in prefs and then set it in the audio track hardware drop down. now just record ur shit in from the mpc. you can always sample ur shit right back into the mpc..

If you want to sample your turntable into Reason, plug your turntable/mixer into the computer interface, not the MPC.

Or, if the turntable is plugged into the MPC, and you want to sample the turntable into Reason, go into the MPC sample record screen, with monitor turned on.
