isn't usb for transfer of data files and NOT audio out/in?

can you sample your main outs like the 1k, make a wav file, transfer that via usb? can you? I don't know.

Yeah Lampdog's right, that's exactly what you'd do.

I don't have a 2500 but I've read the manual twice now, cause I'm very interested in getting one. Just an interest for now though.

Yes. Once you complete your song, you resample it as a .wav file and burn it to CD-R on-board the MPC or transfer the file via USB to your computer for burning.

The MPC 2500 has every feature that the MPC 1000 has and more...

unfortunatly, i am having a problem with this resampling buisness. I too have a couple of soungs that i have completed, but when i resample the completed song, it sounds like the entire song has been pitched up a little....still trien to figure it out...

That's an easy fix....pitch all your samples down slightly and then resample...everything should be all gravy then...

By UndsOverd Talent Tue Apr 11, 2006 10:22 pm
yeh, but the thing is, you shouldnt have to do that.....the main outs should record the main outs.....without having to "mickey mouse" the settings...

that frase is awsome "mickey mouse the settings" ...hahah but he is right....if akai is watching, see the shltz you got us on..haha ....damn

fragmentalist, do you use an MPC 2500? If so, are you having this problem as well?

By fragmentalist Tue Apr 11, 2006 11:02 pm
Yea 2500 and yes although i had a similar problem as yours but mine does this weird jumping panning thing more often then pitch....crazy shlt

I have to dig more into the sampling functions because using it as a MIDI sequencer, I haven't had many problems.

Dont know if i'd definitely call it a bug to be honest, i've never had this problem. The main outs have always recorded how they were supposed to, apart from when i used input thru to record the digital output and it started phasing.

I think this is to do with the sound card settings though as it only happens when i fire up Reason.
