I just did the set up with the sync. of pro-tools(7.3/digi 002), and mpc 2000xl. The set up works but I cant get it to record. Where do I need to go within pro-tool to solve this problem.

This is the same thing I do!!!!


and I guess if you like everything laid down you wouldnt necessarily need to save with the mpc or any sound modules. although it would be smart for backups and mixing.... 8)

props again due to mr. shawn flint for the step by step

Same here....I save everything I do on my Triton Studio cuz it has an internal hard drive but as for the MPC, I have never saved any of my beats....Just track out and save!!!!

i have all my stuff synced up and i was wondering wy does protools cut off the beggining of the beat? is there a setting where it records the very beggining and not skip it?
