Hey guys. I'm new to the whole MPC and just cant figure out how to export the beat i just created to my computer. Can anyone offer a tutorial or and explanation of how to go about this.. Its frustrating having to redo each beat everytime i shut my machine off.. Thanks and sorry if this is a stupid question lol....

Redo your beat every time you turn it off? Save your SEQ, PGM, and SONG data. There's an option to "save all seqs and songs" to your flash card, I would reccomend this. You shouldn't have to redo the whole song every time you turn it off, even with out a computer.

As far as getting it to the PC you have a few options. You can resample the entire song, and then transfer it to the PC, or you can record the outs of your MPC to the ins on your PC sound card. You can either do the whole song at one time this way, or do one part at a time so you can have more control over the final mix.

yeah all right so youve got your beat made and done and youve already finished it in song mode... so then you hit your mode button followed by pad 5 the record pad... swith it to main out and record... then when you save that song will be in samples and in wav format... save it and go to your usb screen and transfer it....

SORRY IM NOT BY MY MPC SO IF ITS A LITTLE OFF I APPOLOGIZE
HOPE THIS HELPS

See ayanami, I told you not to test the waters here. Also, I've notice there's two types of newbs that come across this site. You have those that pick this stuff up at a snap of a finger, and then you have those that want you to hold them by the hand...which I think is so ******. Come on ayanami, I know you can do it, make us a believer. Image

do you guys find that if you record your song via Main Out, that it doesnt sound the way it did when u play the beat the regular way. Isn't there a better way than just bouncing it from song mode to a sample?

go to the OTHER screen and change the master level to 0db

then recording the main outs will sound the same
