1st of all I tried to search :p. A couple days ago me and my buddies tried to record, few verses over my 1st MPC1000 beat. Skip what I've tought as I'm totall newbie when it comes to MPC. I've red on Akai site that you can change your beat format to a wave file so my computer could read it. My question is how to do it?

There is a way to rec it in the mpc.. i do not know the details, but I will quikly glance the manual and the site tutorial and see if I see something for you....



Or connect you MPC to you cpu using the correct adapters and download Audacity and record it that way. ..... But recording the outputs of the MPC would be a better idea... Be right back.





I did not find anything with my quik look.... BUt I did try and record a seq I had loaded..

In the record screen I had to change the input to Analog, and then the MPC was now recording what was being played when I hit the record button./.....


I have seen this posted recently and a bucnh of times in the past, so I know the exact info is out there....


More peeps should chime in as the day progresses... Sorry I could not of more help to you.......

Also, it only recorded the seq I had loaded on the main screen.. So you may need to go to song mode and create a songlist and then combine them into one big sequence...... Then when in record mode, all you do it hit play and it will play the combined seq..... Record that, then transfer to your comp and you have a wave file.

Go to song mode and its pretty easy build up your track. But make sure if you have muted tracks you delete them otherwise it'll mess the whole flow of the song up..

Then route your out's back to the sample in's. TURN MONITOR OFF! If you dont you'll get an unpleasent surprise. after your done rec , save and mount the usb. Its already in wav format so your good to go.
Or you can do the same thing seq by seq and put it together in a program on your computer.
I'm used to being midi'ed up to the gum's ,usein the 6 outs to track out. The best way to put it down , if you have the means I highly suggest you pick that up.
