Sounds like you may be using headphones to monitor your mix, right?

One suggestion I have( and this is going to sound pretty ghetto) is to run a line off the headphone jack of your mpc to the back of your PC and use audacity to record your tracks. Doing this IMO would be easier than sampling your synth into the mpc and then resampling the entire track.. that's just my opinion though.

BTW audacity is a free recording program that you can download here

Nope, this is not possible. :D

Ok Upright very clear:D

Btw, I do have a soundcard and Cubase BUT they are in my studio where I am not much these days because we got our second daughter and my wife wants me to be with here in the living room:lol: So I have to improvise a bit with the current set-up.

And yes I am monitoring via my headphones connected to the S90 which has the possibility to route the audio of my mpc through it, so in my headphone I hear everything, without disturbing my wife and daughter :D

Oh ok! :D 8)Once you get back into the studio with Cubase you'll have an easier workflow I would imagine. :D


Congratulations on the new addition to the fam!! :D

Maybe your output volume was low at the time.

???

By manny0888 Sun Aug 05, 2007 8:25 pm
my output volume would be that of my mixer right? and i dont think its the volume cause it sounds low in a bad way like distorted low

Will a ghetto way is to run a cable from your mpc headphone out into your PC and record in audacity. :D
