more efficient recording?

Yo, I'll start off by saying that i used to use cubase as a sequencer. It was great because i could then mix everything down in one step with no recording. Also all sounds (wav's) were stored in the onefolder along with all sequence files.
I'm a dunce to knowing how midi works in helping one sequencer talk to another. Basically i dont want to record one track at a time into cubase or another program.
I want to know if theres any way to hook up the mpc to a pc so i can just press mixdown. Is there any way that my mpc sounds could be put on a pcs hard disk and have the pc, using some sort of program like cubase, read the sequence data so i can just press mixdown, and thus save recording time and money (instead of buying 8 mpc outs and 8 pc audio ins).
Thanx in advance! PEACE!!!!!

The bad news: what you're describing will not work. You'll need to get yourself a software sampler, and have your sequencer play back it's sounds. It will be too much work to get your sounds from the mpc into the software sampler.

the good news: You can record your tracks into cubase one by one, and sync them with midi. You do not have to buy the 8-out this way, but it does mean you'll spend some time recording each track. Press record, and go make yourself a cup of tea, or read the newspaper:)
i won't go into detail on how to sync using Midi Time Code, it's already been covered on this forum about 1000 times.

aiight. thanx, can i ask more?
"You'll need to get yourself a software sampler, and have your sequencer play back it's sounds. It will be too much work to get your sounds from the mpc into the software sampler."
well, if i just transfer my sounds from mpc to the mpc tho the soft sampler, that shouldnt be too hard. just transfer it with a disk right?? why would it be too hard? cause if i could get my sequencer to play its sound back, that would save me recording time. any problems with that?
what "brand" software sampler do i get, and could i use cubase?
again, thanx in advance.....do i need to go to a music store???

I suggest you try it out with some free demo's for yourself. I haven't really used softsamplers that much myself. I think the biggest problem is going to be getting all the right samles in the right place. But then again, i just hate staring at a computer for anything longer than 15 minutes.

These should all work with cubase.
