Charlie-brm Posted June 1, 2001 Share Posted June 1, 2001 If you want help on burning CD-R try the newsgroup comp.publish.cdrom.hardware For reference check out http://www.cdrfaq.org There was an old standard of MPC that was a minimum spec of hardware/software for multimedia. I don't know what MPC2000 is so I'll stop there. It's OK to tempt fate. Just don't drop your drawers and moon her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Caigan Posted June 1, 2001 Share Posted June 1, 2001 I could be wrong, but I believe you have to burn ISO 9660 format. -Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie u don't know that??? http://www.musicplayer.com/ubb/rolleyes.gif k, the akai mpc is a 16 bit drumsampler with integrated midi sequencer. pretty cool thang. if u want to take a glance @ it check www.mpc2000xl.com or www.akaipro.com it'll be hard to find a concerning topic (mpc + burning compatible cd-rs) i searched several days + found some cool mpc sites but no solution how to burn wav cd-rs which the mpc can read. the mpc reads my commercial sampling cds without probs. so there must be a solution. thanx cal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Darling Posted June 2, 2001 Share Posted June 2, 2001 My friends own an MPC2000 and uses imoga scsi zip. You can get zip drive from 100mb to 2gb. I use it to store samples and banks setting from my sampler Emu, E-synth.

Charlie-brm Posted June 3, 2001 Share Posted June 3, 2001 OK, by coincidence I took off to a gear sale today and the store had an MPC2000XL so now I know what it is, notwithstanding you also told me just now. And I just downloaded the manual From what I can make out, you already know it can look for file structures on a PC formatted CD, hard drive or floppy, so we're into troubleshooting. You said you can use floppies, so your .wav file format is OK. Let's stick with burning in ISO9660 format, the most universal. Can the CD-R be read in several other CD drives? I know some of the burns I do on the office CD-R/RW can't be read on my home PC's read only, which will read burns done on my second writing drive. Are you burning at 2X, 4X? I'd try slower speeds. Use good quality media. Definitely use CD-R, not CD-RW media. Be sure to select to close the disk as an option in Nero. You might go so far as to prepare an ISO file instead of burning on the fly. I know sometimes you might not get an error message but the CD-R is still screwed depending on what is reading it later. I'm guessing with my experience on any hardware that offers to handle drives and file formats for you, it is not very forgiving on what it digests. It's OK to tempt fate.
