Check the properties of your wavs before "dropping them" into your mpc.

44khz/16bit wavs.

Open them up in the editor, resave them as pcm 44khz/16bit wavs and try again.

i dont think wave pad has an option to save to that exact file i mean i got pcm uncompressed gives me the 16 bit option but only 4410hz etc etc maybe a differnt programme i could use ?? i used to chop my samples straight from wax but its easyer on an editor. damm this ish be buggin me hard

No, you have to actually open up the wav in audacity and check the save options right before you save it.

make sure it 44khz/16bit pcm wav, THEN you resave it.

or batch convert

i use CEP and i open and convert batches of sounds into 16 bit44.1.

sometimes you just to redo it cause it wont get read by the mpc,
been dealing with this sometimes when i download files from others.

but cool edit pro does well for me,when this happens thats all i do is open them up in CEP and batch convert

thanks for the advice yall i dropped in audacity and exported them to wav an problem solved. got one more question in trim mode in the 2k is there a way to make my sample continuesly loop like holding down the pad like the 1k does? i havent got a manual for my 2k so i wouldnt know it would be dope if it can so i can get some perfect loops.

Loop on, or program it that way.
