Technical questions for the MPC2000xl and the MPC2000

even though I am sure this has been discussed. What method do you guys use to transfer you songs from the mpc to the computer?

Right now I am just recording each track into sonar as audio, and keeping it on time with MIDI Clock. This takes a long time so I have been just recording the loop and then cutting and pasting it. This is allot faster but you loose some quality when you do this. First of all their is a little pop when it loops over (very very slight). And the loop is not exactly perfect since you can't chop it perfectly at the beginning and end.

I am looking for a new way of transfering my songs to my computer. THe 8 outs is too expensive. One of my friends who makes beats with a Motif6 is able to save his song data as MIDI onto a usb chip. THen he pops the usb chip into his computer, loads up cubase and then his whole song is on his computer as MIDI. All he has to do is record each MIDI track as an audio track. Is it possible to do something like this with the MPC? I have the 2000xl if that matters..

Well, that amounts to the smae thing then doesn't it?
i didn't want to buy the 8-out at first too, but you'll end up buying one at some point anyway, so why not do it now?

M-AUDIO Delta 44 or better for heads on a budget. Look it up.

I know it is basically the same thing, I like being able to edit the song when it is in midi form, you can do allot of things to a song then. So I still don't don't know if it is poosible to do what I asked. Can you save your song on your mpc as midi and then load it on your computer? and thanks for pointing out the 8 outs, it was cheaper than I expected. Although is it an internal audio interface? Don't you you get a buz with an interal interface. I already have an US-122 which is external....
