Technical questions for the MPC2000xl and the MPC2000
By 90skid110 Wed Sep 11, 2013 3:32 am
Im new to producing so I only know the basics if that.. but for some reason my set up isnt working... here is my set up..

I have a t.62 stanton turntable(which I want to use to sample directly into the mpc) which is connected to a phono preamp which is connected to my mpc then from my mpc to my audio interface(steinberg UR 22) which is then connected to my macbook but for some reason the sound is only coming from turntable at a low frequency why isn't the sound processing through my computer or even the mpc? and is my setup correct or do I need additional hardware?.. Any words of wisdom or advice will be greatly appreciated as I'm very anxious into starting to produce music

What are the EXACT model and makes of ALL your gear in that audio sampling chain you got going. Since you don't detail your shit for us, we gotz queztionz. Lot's of them.

The t.62 has a standard dual rca cable connected to the bbe fjb-200 X preamp then I have another dual rca cable with quarter inch converters at both ends connected to the mpc then i have dual quarter inch cables connected from the mpc to the Steinberg UR 22 usb interface and the setup still doesnt work

Mpc 2kxl line in is only for sample mode. They dont work in any other screen/mode. Is your mpc mixer volume or pad params settings a factor? Maybe a left over pad setting is making your playback low?! Phono preamp is line level out to mpc correct?

Thats an elusive one as some new to the gear just load up pads and don't know that it's very possible old pad settings in mixer are low. So you maybe have loaded a new sample right into already low and old pad settings. But yeah, check pad params and the mixer or if any effects are involved with keeping that volume low.

It would be good if you explained what exactly the problem was and how you fixed it in case someone else has the same problem in the future.

Yep, for future reference let us know exactly what it was you found out and how you fixed it? Someone else I guarantee will run into this problem somewhere down the line.
