HOW IMPORTANT ARE 8 OUTS ON A MPC???

The more outputs you have, the more tracks you can separate and dump during a pass. For example, if you have a beat that uses 16 tracks and you have 8 outs, you can track the whole thing out in 2 passes. If you only have 4 outs then it would take you 4 passes.
Only you can decide if it's worth it for you.

yeah its an upgrade for 2000 I beleive it was standard on the 2000xl......I dont know too many regret buying mpc....they arent magic..but are great to use......also mpc pictured only has 2 midi outs..I think having 4 is a must for me..especially once you get more then 4 modules/keys...although you can still daisy chain your synths.......If you like simplicity..the 3000(wich i have) is the one to get....I like the way the drums when sampled..or any samples sound as well as 8 outs and 4 midi outs digital in to record(If ya wanna record that way).....but I still beleive the 4000 is the king with 2500 runner up.....everything else is cool but I would get what i listed
The 8 outs is not standard on the XL. It is an optional feature. Its extremely important to have if you dont want to track your shit out one track at a time. Sick Wid It is right. If you make a song with 16 tracks, you would have to individually go in and record each track to your computer. Which means you would have to do most all of your sequencing on the computer as well. some people dont like that.
I'm getting the 8 outs from a Guitar Center Hook-up for $130 and I'm gonna install it myself. Before i got this hook up i was being quoted about $250 for it.

I dont record on computers...but wouldnt you still..(lets say if you have 10 tracks on your sequence) have to make 10 passes to record each track to their own track on the computer.I think the way you are saying is a bit easier cause its all synced up and you can press.the space bar or what not on computer after the track is assigned and everything is done perfect...but still gotta do that 10 times???
Can you explain this in more detail?... sounds like something I'd like to try.
Say I dont have the 8 outs, and i have a song sequenced out in song mode. With 4 seperate sequences, 16 tracks, making the whole song. When I dump them via midi beat clock, would i still have to do each individual track one by one or would it seperate them out for me? If I understand correctly, what your saying is I can dump the tracks one by one and all of them will always start recording on the same beat/time, making it so i wont have to match each individual track to eachother.

I got the 8 outs and don't even use em.When I dump the beat in the computer I match the tempos and depending on 4 or 8 bars I set markers in Nuendo for either 4 or 8 to automatically punch out.
10 tracks-10 passes-then highlight em all, hit reapeat or duplicate and the whole beat is ready all you have to do is mute the parts you do or don't want.
