First of all, I love my MP, and don't get me wrong, but i'm the kind of guy who like to use alot of FX, and I feel pretty limited down with only 2 Effect processors on the MPC1000. So here goes my problem.

Say that I've just Eq'ed my snaredrum just the way i like it, and i wanna use another effect on some other sample. The obvious idea would be to record the snare from Main out, to free up an effect-processor right? I can figure that out, but what i don't understand is: why does my newly recorded sample turn out to be at a lower volume than the previous?? (It also sounds a bit "thinner" ). I've tried evereything (i think), turning the recording threshold up and down, deactivating the master effects, turning the main sample up at max volume... What i want to know is: Is there anything to do to prevent this from happening!?!

I appreciate any kind of suggestions.

Hit mode

Hit "Other"

Turn Master Level to 0 DB

Try re-sampling again.

Should solve your problem.

thats cool tip but also you can normalize the sounds after you recorded them.
works on some samples.

It worked, but you have to live with a little extra noise on the sample, i guess it's because it's analog, right?... But thanx again!

Why not just resample internally? MODE->Record, set source to main outs
