Hay guys..I just got a MPC2000 and wanted some help in setting it up. I did go through some similar posts, but I am still not clear on the equipment, cables I absolutely need. To being with, I want to know what equipment I require to:
1. Record samples into the MPC
2. Record the completed song from my MPC to my PC
I understand I can either use the RECORD IN or DIGITAL IN/OUT for recording samples to my MPC. Since I dont have 8 outs (IB-M208P) installed, I cant use DIGITAL IN/OUT for recording samples from an external CD player. Thats where the problem is. All the tracks I want to sample are in digital (wav) format. How do I record a sample (which is digital) via the analog RECORD IN jack? What cables and equipment would I need? Do I still need to use a turntables and LP's for recording analog data into the MPC?
To record a completed beat on my PC, I got a Y cable which I thought I can run from the MPC's STEREO OUT to the LINE IN of my PC's soundcard (my soundcard doesnt have a MIDI port). But I read recording this way could introduce noise, which can be solved by an intermediate audio interface? Do I really require an audio interface to have quality output?
Thanks in advance.
