Recording difficulty/MPC 2000 XL

Post by Robert Langdon » Thu Apr 20, 2006 12:03 pm

Hello All,
I'm trying to record audio from my mpc into live via a m audio firewire 1814. I'm getting a signal through the speaker but when i hit the record button in live nothing happens. I armed the track but I don't see the signal going through. Any Suggestions?
Thank You

Robert - not to be a total D*ck but I think we're going to let you figure this one out on your own


oh hell fuck it

make sure in the preferences you have your audio set to your firewire

then on the arm'd track make sure you have the input set to your firewire's inputs and arm the track [record button turns red]

as far as Ableton's concerned that's it - if you got all that then you may want to make sure your MPC is turned up and connected to the proper inputs.

really it's in the manual and if all's correct with Ableton you may want to troubleshoot the firewire and / or your MPC

you can download the manual HERE

Page 149 is a good place to start then maybe 179

good luck - the MPC's tight, so is Ableton
