Technical questions for the MPC2000xl and the MPC2000
By McUnO Thu Dec 06, 2018 11:39 pm
Does Anybody Know How to Set Up an Akai MPC 2000XL with krk monitors, Focusrite Scarlett 6i6, mixer and turntable??

I want Sampling from Computer onto the MPC and sampling from the turntable onto the MPC.

My Mpc2000xl Doesn't have 8 outputs.

This will create an audio loop while sampling.

None of that was mentioned as an option before I replied.

Of course routing diff outputs and muting will avoid loops.

I use my 4k and triton same way sometimes, separate outputs.

Why don't you just try it.

Yes, I have a feedback loop

I appreciate that I will try.

I try this only with the interface:
stereo out from mpc
to interface line inputs
stereo out interface
in to the stereo inputs mpc

I have the same feedback loop maybe Im doing something wrong,

That audio loop is because the mpc is inputting and outputting the SAME audio through
the SAME audio ports.

Like Wal said you will need to use mute somewhere in that routing. Figure that out.

or

Maybe an easier way, connect mobile device audio output to interface input.
No audio loop.

It's a live and learn process. Gotta experiment. Gotta know your audio routing.
:-D

Draw it out on paper or photoshop or spreadsheet if you have to, but, learn it.

Midi routing is gonna be just as important when you get around to doing it.
