Broken slider on mpc...

wierd preamp buzz
sometimes there is a price to pay for using unbalanced equipment and cables (lol) my whole studio is balanced and i get nothing but clean sound from all of my equipment. -
wierd preamp buzz
i beleive what you are experiencing is what is called a ground-loop problem. if you are using rca cables your signal will be unbalanced unless you use a transfer box to make it balanced. what i mean by that is, there is a box you can purchase (made by Ebtech $60-$80) that will allow you to run... -

wierd preamp buzz

headphone monitor mix
don`t matter, you will still get the same results. try to stay away from headphones when mixing. you will not be getting a true mix through headphones. you will do better mixing on a home stereo if you don`t have studio monitors. mixing + headphones = baaaaaaaaaaad!!! -
midi Y cable
get 2 midi cables and run 1 from your keyboard to the mpc, then run the other from the mpc to your pc. it will work that way. -
headphone monitor mix
i never use headphones to mix only to edit. headphones add colour as well. if you have an amp, stereo with stereo speakers or an amp with bass treble control. set your bass treble mid-way that should give you a somewhat flat sound. then run your sound through and mix a way. -
digital in and out question
i don`t think you can tell the difference between the 2 as far as sound. one looks like an (rca-jack) like the jacks on a turntable, the other looks like a wire with 2 square heads on each end where as if you plug one end into your digi input then looked at the other end you would see a red... -
