i sample a quick hit into my mpc, put it on two pads, then pan one hard right and one hard left. I have my main stereo outs on the mpc2000xl going into the main stereo inputs on my firewire 410. i load up cubase just to here some quick compression and what not. My pan settings from the mpc are fine. But, when i have outs 1 and 2 of the 8-out board on the mpc2000xl going into the main stereo inputs on my firewire 410, my pan settings don't pick up. I ran a "test" to see if it would pick up my settings (in case your wondering why i even bothered to switch the outs). What the F*ck? Does anybody know why this is? It's not my firewire 410, cuz it picks everything up fine when i hook it up with the stereo main outs of my mpc. HELP!!!! I want to get an interface with 8 inputs, but if the mpc's can't transfer properly, then there is no point in wasting money. i know someone else has encountered this problem. i've read up, searched, etc. and can't seemed to find a solution other than "sample in mono" or "mix in cubase" or sh*t like that. If anybody has some tips, advice, or a solution then please let me know.

Thanks

the pan doesn't pick up because those are mono signals,so it would have to be mixed going out from the outs

so what do think would be a workaround? i was thinking of mocking the pan settings from the akai on cubase. i realize the resolution of the two differ, yet is it possible to get close? i did notice that when monitoring (the samples from the 8-out board and into my comp) it still picked up the stereo sample's original configuration, just not my pan settings from the akai.

can you pan on the indi outs? I don't think so, at least on the 60.

how many "stereo" tracks do you have. sometimes ill pan some hats slightly to the left and right just to give some depth. in that case youd just record that one track stereo after you tracked out everything else. so just mute that one track.
