two in one Q: recording breaks + proper arangment

ok 2 questions.firstly...when you bring your breaks to the MPC.. u record in stereo or mono usually? just wonderin since im new to this.

secondly .....

is this proper the way i set a song up? or am i going thru too much.

seq1
t1-3 drums
t4 sample
t5 filtered bass

than if i want the intro i would usually make another sequence with
the sample and bass minue the drums lets say.or whatever it may be.

than i take it too song mode and load the sequences how id want it played out.

i just dont know if im doing it how its ment to be done? it works so i guess it dont matter THAT much,...but i would like to make things as simple as possable and any answers would be appreciated.just wanna do things correctly!!

ps..........any chicago heads on this thing?

i usually do my drums in mono, and pan in the mpc.

about the song mode thing, that sounds about right, i usually dont make my beats in the box though, i use my mpc with logic it speeds up my workflow. but whatever works for you.

thanks my man,just seein what other people do.i dont have friends who **** with a mpc..so im learnin on my own.

record drums in mono, decide on left or rite whichever one has the strongest drum hits. usually one side will be cleaner.
