Tracking out WITH Effects

Hi everyone,

Even if I don't post really often, I'm a huge reader of MPC forums and I want yall to know that I've been able to fix 99% of every of my mpc problems with this forums. Thanks alot.

Unfortunately, for the first time, even after reading hundred of topics on the subject, I am not able to track out my f***** projects while linked to effects and I am now wondering if it is even possible.

I am currently running JJOS XL and tracking tracks out (and not only pads out) seems possible through the Sequence Track Mixer, but it just doesn't seem to work with my mpc or I am doing something wrong as tracking out pads is working.

I'm tracking out in Cubase but without the Effects it **** my work flow up, because I put them on the MP to create a certain sound and need to take them off to be able to tracks the pads out...

Thanks everyone, wishing somebody will be able to enlighten me a little bit

Not sure is that what you mean, but effects are only wired to Main Out (2-ch stereo out) while on the rest 8 outs you can't use effects.

Damn...... it's exactly what I meant.

Thanks holmes

But you can use the "resample main outs" function of your MPC using multiple/effects or whatever and as many times as you want, to craft the sound you are looking for. Then track out using your 8 mixouts.

Peace

Can you use the main outs for effects only, and send the rest through the individual outs?

@RootsRenegade

I already knew about this, but thanks alot! These days I'm just tryin to reach a better workflow and resambling can be a bit long sometimes.

@SimonInAustralia

Yes I think you can and it's a great idea, it'll will help me for sure, thanks holmes!

But whyyyyyyyyy?
I have exactly the same problem. I add effects & would love to track them out to my DAW.
It sucks not being able to.
Maybe JJ can sort this out or would it be too much for the MPC to handle?

what you mean by resample main outs exactly?

Mpc's rec mode allows you to record the "main out" directly. So you can record the effected sound.

MPC2500 user's manual page 57 "Recording the MAIN OUT".

Or just get the studio and use mpc software...i'm sure your DAW has effects and the MPC software is the quickest way to get it from the 2500 into your DAW. Otherwise like the others said re-sample.....it is a PITA

load up a DAW and stick plug ins on your inputs. monitor with FX.

when you've tracked, the plug ins are there.

Now that is an ace idea. It seems so obvious now.
Why didn't I think of that

So er, school me. Can I use my 2500 with the MPC software or am I being an idiot?
If you can, what's it like? Any one tried this combination?
