recording a sequence using main out.....HeLp!!

here's where i started...( and i figured out that the headphones
had nothing to do with it )

by process of elimination i have isolated my dilemma.

if i solo one track...and record, auto normalize... it sounds GREAT.
everything about it is vibrant and strong sounding

BUT.................

once i add in even ONE other track .. or if i just play along some claps while its recording, auto normalizing etc, the newly recorded sample loses its volume and crispness

i've tried seperate assigned parts, seperate programs, pads mixed, parts mixed. i've read everything i could on the forum re parts/multis etc...i just cant figure it out

please hit me back

don;t normalize,

just record the tracks individually at the level they are mixing right in the MPC. When you normalize each part you are maxing out the dynamic range of the mpc with each track, and so when you mix them you will get distortion and other issues.

You may also be able to just reduce the volume of the samples after they have been normalized and just re do the levels on them, but that may be more work for little benefit.
