MPC **** UP MY SAMPLES. HELP!

Hey.

So this is my second post here. I recently upgraded my ram to 32 mb about a couple months ago. Everything has worked fine until now. My samples that I load into it and record into it after about 10 minutes or so of my mpc running will all of a sudden start getting real distored sounding almost just like there is white noise layered over it. Whats crazy is I've looked at the waveform before and after this phenomenon starts happening. Before it starts, my samples sound perfect and look just fine. But whenever it starts happening you can actually see in the waveform the noise thats mysteriously being added. I've looked on the internet everywhere for this problem but can't find it anywhere. Thanks for reading. Any advice is appreciated.

that is very odd.

maybe reinstall the os

Didn't even think to do that. I'll try that, and see what's up. I appreciate it.

alright cool man, and dont forget to post the result here so people with a similar problem can know what reinstalling did to fix the issue.

good luck.

how am I suppose to reinstall the os on it? I don't have any means of getting the os from my computer to the mpc?

well you will have to get that together first...

Same thing happened to me. After I used a certain amount of sampling time it acted exactly as you described. Turned out to be bad memory. Being that you just upgraded... that may be where the problem is. Check it out.

i have a spair 16mb card left..perhaps if you use a different card you´re problem is solved

I guess its the RAM. Just a thought: Since the memory is devided in two 16MB sticks it would be interesting to know what happen when you sample nearly 16MB (32MB are 189,2 seconds stereo so nearly 16MB would be 94 seconds) and then sample again some seconds so the second RAM stick is used. If this will cause the distorted sound its sure that the RAM is the problem.

picture ram like a piece of graph paper... the samples take up a certain amount of squares... well when things are loaded into ram they take up squares in sequential order... once the first sheet of paper (first 16mb stick) gets full it continues onto the first free square on the next page. During this point, the samples are nothing but binary digits (combinations of ones and zeros) and each square with have either a one or a zero in it... kind of hard to explain but that is more or less what is happening.
