sync pro tools problem

OK i got everything hooked up the right way from my mpc 1000 to my pro tools....wen i hit play on my mpc i can stop it by hitting the pause on pro tools, so its syncong i guess BUT....wen i hit record+start on pro tools the beat plays from the mpc but wen it startes recordin on pro tools thers only a straight line like thers no volume goin in or no waves...now i know that midi isnt NOT audio so mabe i gotta switch something around? ne ideasss

in other words...i cant hear ne thing wen i play pro tools cuz its only a straight line

do you have the 1/4 inch outputs from the mpc goin into the 1/4 inch inputs on your interface? do you have the track in pt armed? Most importantly.....do you have the manuals that came with the thousands of dollars worth of gear youre using?

......DUDE i OBV have the 1/4....how else would my mac pro tools and my mpc be communicating....DUH... im just wondering y wen i record the beat to pro tools the line is straight like nothins ogin thorugh...then agian its midid so do i gotta turn somthin else on in pro tools for it to show>?

1/4 icnh cables dont make pt and the mpc "communicate", midi cables do that...

check your i/o setup

then agian its midid so do i gotta turn somthin else on in pro tools for it to show>?

its not midi, its audio....

if you'd RTFM and stop guessin at shiz you'd be recordin by now....

Did you assign the PT tracks to the correct mic line to which your mpc outs are going?

Did you enable midi in pro tools? (don't think this is the problem tho)

PT MIDI OUT to MPC MIDI IN?

MIDI > MIDI Beat Clock > Enable MIDI Beat Clock > Select your interface

ok i did everything...both machines communicate i just cant get it to record..like wtf this is pissing me off

looking at your name "mpc-feen" i think youve had enough. Your getting too crazy. You are an addicted "feen". You should give the mpc a break.
u will suffer from withdrawl at first, but its for the best.

Are you sure you set up the settings in the mpc to receive midi messages?!?!

his problem is hes trying to record AUDIO ...

his midi settings have nothing to do with that, im still wondering if he has all the AUDIO in and outs hooked up....

without any midi cables hooked up to either piece of gear he would still be able to record the mpc if he had the AUDIO cables goin from the mpc out to the digi ins and had the inputs in pt set correctly and armed the track and hit record/play in pt and hit play on his mpc...

k 1st id like to thaknk everyone so far ginvin me replies...2nd u can suck a fatty if u think im gonna stop usin my mpc..im probly makin better beats in 2 weeks then u in 2 months.....NE WAY i follwed the manula instructions..i tryed makin the MPC the master and the salve and its just not workin like i said a straight line.. wat u mean by getitn the mpc to be able to send messages u mean like in the midi/sync button? the in is 2 so i scrolled to 2....idk guys gimme me info if u notice ne thing thanks for the help
