How can I download ready song from my MPC to my PC ? :?:
And when I'll make It,my file probably will be WAV and must be heavy..So I'll use a converter to convert this file to Audio...but I'will loose quality of sound...Will I?

Or it's a shame to speak about It?

Only one thing..- please..How can I get performance out of MPC and listen that with other devices..??

You will make a track with your MPC. Then go into the SAMPLE RECORD MENU and choose the MPCs OUTPUTS as the SOURCE. Play the MPC track and arm RECORD in that MENU. This will create a wav file for you to move to your computer via USB or CF card.

Jahrome I just tried to make It like you said ,but shame I recon I've got not enough RAM for that...
I still got my 32MB,but I used that whole memory and where are no free space,for the performance recording... So here is my quastiton..again..
I know I can get EXM128-128MB card,also akaipro.com site wrights what It's possible to increase your RAM up to 2 GB.. Where about can I buy 2GB RAM for my mpc ,and If It's possible does anybody know the name or model of that 2GB RAM card?



And another question is : How to stick It in? I mean RAM card? Here is nothing about It in manual,manual got the information only how to stick a Hard Drive In,How about EXM card??


Please, I'm waiting for an answers...

Its used to store all your files. It will not expand the amount of sample time that you can use to create music nor will the hard drive which does the same as the CF card...storage. Only the 128 MB of RAM will extend the amount of sample time you have to create music. Its all in the manual.

It's **** shame...this MPC's RAM is so weak...
I've just ordered EXM128 and I hope It's gonna be enough for works...
Are you guys happy with 128MB ?

Older MPCs only had 32 MB of memory. So with that said...128 MB is more than enough. Sequencing external modules using the 4 MIDI outs take very little to no memory.

what i think your looking to do is record your track. you're gonna need an audio interface and software.

An audio interface and software is the best solution..however, you can do a mix on-board the MPC 2500 with its effects and global EQ and dynamics.....record a stereo track on board...and then burn an audio CD if you have the CDM25 installed.

The MPC is for music production/song writing. Use software to record and mix your music created with the MPC.
