hey guys... im really new to the whole mpc thing and i thought i could use some help from you guys.
i just recently purchased a mpc2500 and slowly learning stuff about its functions. i purchased an ebook and trying to learn everything about it.
right now, im just messing around with it without it being setup with anything else (just power plug, headphones, usb to computer for tutorial uses with flash card)
but, i wanted to have a setup going with my mpc and my other gear.
i currently have a yamaha mm6, tascam us-144, a condenser mic, really old 2.1 speakers and a pc running cubase. i have the mm6 and mic going through the tascam interface to the computer for recording at this moment.
i was reading my ebook and it talks about setups but it didnt say anything about using a midi/audio interface (my tascam us-144).
so, i was wondering if anyone had a good way for me to incorporate the mpc into my mix.
if anyone could get back to me, i would really appreciate it.
thanx in advance.

1st - Run your MM6 into the RECORD IN of your MPC, 2nd - Run your MPC out to your US-144, 3rd hit your INPUT THRU button and turn it on, 4th play your mm6 and your MPC and you should be all set Don't forget your MIDI. Peace!
