Technical questions for the MPC2000xl and the MPC2000

Hi!

I got a problem with the timing of the loops!
I prepared my loops on the PC, where the loops are sound good, with no scraps!
The Beat and the tempo was OK on the PC!
Then i transfered the samples to the MPC 2000XL!
When i want to loop the samples on the MPC it sounds like, there is a little space at the end of the file! (But there was no space at end of the file on the PC!)

I tried it with fruity loops, where everything was looped perfectly! I took the same sample to the mpc and had an empty space at the end of the loop!

I tried to time stretch the sample on the MPC, but it makes no difference!
I also tried it with time stretch on Wavelab!

It sounds like the MPC got another timing then the PC, or something else isn't working properly!

I also tried to tune the sample on the MPC, but then it doesn't match with the beat!

My samples got 4 or 8 Beats length!
I calculated the time which the sample needs to be played correctly!
So at 160 BPM, 8 Beats take exactly 3 seconds!
I cut the sample exaclty at 3 seconds in Wavelab!
But still the same problem!

Something is wrong!

Can anybody help me with this problem!

The sample is not a beat sample, it's music witch i want to be played continously without scraps(That you don't hear where the samples end, or begin!)



THANX IN ADVANCE

heard that the mpc fades samples at the end...also changing the bpm,attack and release time might help you solve that.
did you use the edit menu to set the sample in the right place?
