Do u need to run a chord from the back of the mp into the laptop and record it into an audio program??? I have heaps of saved projects that i wanna convert to mp3 so i can post them up and put them to cd as well. Any help would be really really good.
Thanks in advance

if you don't have software to track to (ie cubase, nuendo, pro tools, etc...) and you have the 128mb upgrade, you can resample your seq back into the mpc then transfer it as a was file to your computer then you can convert to mp3..

this is how you would do it. (no cables needed)

when resampling from the 1000, you don't have to connect any cables. just go into the record page and change the input to :main out and press record (F6) then play your seq. when its done, your seq is now a wav file. then transfer it to the computer and then you can convert the wav to mp3. all of this is of course assuming you have the 128mb upgrade.

128 upgrade?you mean the new OS?or memory?please say the new OS

nah, the mpc comes standard with 16mb of RAM. so i was talking about the 128mb RAM

Thanks Sparq
I dont have the 128mb upgrade just yet, still shopping around to find the best price for some ram. Another quick question tho, doing this method that youve just desribed (recording thru the main out in the mpc and then transferring it into your computer) .. does it lose quality??? if i was to run everything thru a mixer or an interface would i get alot better quality??

hope this makes sense
