Best way to Multi track from mpc using 8 outs to a PC

[FistFulloDollaz]

I currently have an M-box, to do recording into my PC, but I want to start multitracking my beats from the MPC using my 8-outs. Could somebody give me any insight as to what would be the best way to track my beats out.

By the way I don't have a firewire connection port on my computer, but I can use any suggestions as to what would be the best way to multi track. Holla

well... i would have to say... there is no possible way for you to utilize the 8 outs using a Mbox... if your work is done on pro-tools... the only way to really do it utilizing the 8 outs would be to upgrade up to the 002... you can get a firewire card for your pc... there is also always the chance of looking around for a used 001 PCI card... but keep in mind that there are systems that the 001 will not work in... otherwise... 2 tracks at a time... oh boy

M-audio Delta 1010 is a cheap solution, PCI 8 ins 8 outs, good card

Thanks

I am going to look into the Digi 002 and the Delta 1010, good look

just want to mention though... if you want to stay in protools... the only way to go is with the 002... and if you are a registered mbox user you can up to the 002 for an upgrade cost... and beyond that... if you use the m-audio... even though that digidesign bought out m-audio... there will never be support to open pro-tools using any of their interfaces... and that is coming straight from the digi source... so if it is pro-tools you want to use... DO NOT go with the m-audio... the 002 is a monster though
