Digital noise 2kxl

hello,

sometimes when i'm sampling audio a digital clipping/crunching noise sound comes out of nowhere and gets recorded as part of the sample.

i've checked my sound levels and i'm not overdriving the input.

this same noise also sometimes appears when i am copying a sample in trim mode.
the copy will have this same noise embedded in it, and sometimes it's even possible to see it in the waveform.

this also happens when i make a selection of a sample and create a new sample from it.

has anybody experienced this?

any ideas?

is my machine on its deathbed?

i believe it might happen more often when the memory is holding a fair amount of samples, tho i can't be sure.

any help guys would be great, i'm freaking out at the thought of putting my mpc to rest and buying a new one : (

cheers,
Charlie.

Sounds like you might have a suspect memory chip that's corrupting the sample. Since memory chips are so cheap it might be worth your while getting new chips for it.

cheers for the reply, do you mean the ram upgrade?

i upgraded the memory a while ago but and this problem is fairly recent.

could the memory have just worn out, being cheap to begin with?

any ideas who make good quality memory?

cheers.

anybody else got another suggestion of what the problem could be?

thanks.
