Timing correct, look into it.

look at the bpm too. you gotta make sure the bpm is what you want it to be. And then look at the timing.

Is that the only problem...... that some sounds aren't in quite the right place you intended. Don't worry too much. As you get more used to the feel of the MPC, your playing of the pads should get tighter.

Are you recording with quantise on? If not try that.

In the sequence you are recording this loop in, make sure you put each sound in a different track. You can move any of those out-of-time hits forward & backwards to the right place, but it will be easier to find a particular wrong snare if you know one track is just that snare.

Look for timing on the main screen.
