Record audio from synth to Akai Live II.. please help

By Paolo Fanin Mon Feb 01, 2021 8:24 am
I checked everything..
1) connected my synth to the audio in 1 and 2 of the MPC
2) I can hear the signal and the level bars move accordingly
3) I arm the track and press REC and... it does not record anything!
Of course I can sample my synth but I would like to record an audio track... any hint of what I am doing wrong?
Read the manual and looked at some tutorials on yt but ... does not seem to work! Clueless..

Are you sure you're in an audio track and armed for recording and didn't accidentally select a MIDI track?

I get that, but I was just asking if you were sure you had an audio track selected and armed to record, and not a MIDI track accidentally. :hmmm: Also, are you sure you have the right input selected? Recording audio works fine on my MPC Live 2 (firmware 2.9.1).
