record one track at a time just like u would in a regular studio...then eq and mix once everything is laid down.....

I have the option but to tell the truth it is really not that much of a big deal because the whole idea of being able to use the option is so that you can mix the different sounds as you choose which you can clearly do in the mix menu of the mpc2000xl. So mixing it is not really an issue as long as u have mixed it properly using say studio monitors then it is okay. What really makes a track sound good is the mastering of it. The worse mix would probably still sound good as long as it was mastered good. Your song will still sound bad if you mix it good but dont master it. that my friend is the key to a good sounding track.

mixing is part and mastering is part. There are many more key components as well. The benefit of tracking one at or time or multi is being able to mix around your vocals. It is all good that the MPC has an internal mixer and on some studio monitors you can make the beat sound nice, but depending on the tone or pitch of the artist's voice you may need to do more mixing, some instruments/sounds fall right into vocal range such as snares, middle melodies, etc. This is where tracking or multitracking plays a big part. I'm not saying that it cannot be done, but it is alot harder to mix vocals around a track versus mixing a track around vocals.

my bad meant to say a pro master is what leads to a good sound

i use magix studio7 multitracking software, i record every track on the mpc thru my pc then mix it like that. one by one on the software

merci thankz a lot to all people for these infos!!i like the production style of tobin,squarepusher, breakbeat;melodies;jazz ;concrete music, i just want how to build a song,and amix and master in that kind of music. should i begin with melodies,or rythmic? breakbeat drum like arrangement? thankz a lot -aaaazzzaaiiiii-

Mastering is the last step. Your sound depends on everything in the entire signal chain just as much as mixing and mastering. If you pull all your drum samples from records and the records are being amplified by a crappy sounding amplifier, guess what, you have crappy sounding samples. Mastering ain't fixing that.
