Ok, we all know that WAV files get an automatic, annoying little trim of their tale when the 2000xl interprets them. How about when saving SND files as WAVs and opening the WAVs on a PC?

OK, I have SND files in the MPC. I decide I want to save them as WAV's so that my friends PC can recognize them. Will saving the SND's as WAV's get a similar trim or something that will effect the sound?

I guess I'll have to find out myself... You guys kill me. First it takes me asking the same question 5 times because the reading comprehension on this site is at a 1st grade level. Then, the wiseass remarks start.
I was asking the members of this board because I thought they might have had the experience already. But not unlike other things I've inquired about here, I will find out for myself. Thanks dudes! :!:

LOL

Ok, everyone pay attention to how I answer the reply from nathantseng.

Unfortunately I have not had the opportunity to see if the saved WAV's are effected the same way loaded WAV's are. And yes, the MPC loads and saves SND files as it's main sound format.

Ahhhhh, see? Curtious, to the point, no RTFM or "do it yo self." It's that simple folks!

no offense and not to diss or anything but you could have done that yourself and seen the results quicker and easier than the time u put in on this whole thread.

None taken. You are absolutely correct in that statement. I'm trying to make a point though. The answers from half of the people on this board are useless. If the question asked was answered, or at least given an "I'm not sure", that would have been the easiest and quickest and most helpful. Maybe thats too much to ask. Although I thought this site was for questions about the Akai MPC series samplers. I mean there is a specific forum for the 2000 and 2000xl that specifically says it's for technical questions about the said units. Or perhaps my question was one that everyone knows and if I read the manual, I'd find the answer. However, still no answer to my question...

Chill out man.
This board is good and the people offer good advice, if you got an mpc it's the place to be.

However, if someone asks the question 'if i press the tap tempo button in time with my loop will the tempo change?'
They can expect the answer, 'press it and see'

Its funny how cats be direct you to read the manual for basic stuff but when it comes to something more complex no one really knows what shit is about ...........

Other than the man MPC3000.. that guy know his shi*

Thats **** for real..


Heres a question for yall.


MPC2000XL. when i load up WAVS from my flash disk then sample gets cut off even though i get rid of the DECAY

once again. ANY IDEA HOW TO FUCIN SOLVE THIS ?

I just copped the S3000XL and i am hoping that it will not be cutting my shit up

and IF the MPC is really cuttin shit up then, why the *** did they add a BPM option for the MPC when the actual length of the WAV and what actually plays is not the SAME

?? CONFUSION ?!?

S3000XL / MPC ...

WHATS THE DEAL WITH THIS STUFF?
ANY IDEAS?

I tried adding 30-40ms of blank space to the end of my samples and it seemed to stop that cutting off problem. I did that in soundforge. You can do it in any wav editor. Failing that sample direct into ya mpc and then trim it.

peace

"The answers from half of the people on this board are useless. "

Must be somehow related to the other half's incomplete, uncomprehensive, already-asked, already-in-the-archives, or could-have-found-it-in-5-minutes-in-the-manual QUESTIONS.


"the man MPC3000.. that guy know his shi*"

Thanks! I usually get 'arrogant, condescending pric*'

Not in the case of my question.
