Okay so I'm probably gonna get ripped to shreds for asking this question, as I'm sure there is an obvious answer. But I'm a little frustrated so I'm gonna throw it out there anyways...so go easy on me!!

I hooked up the MP to my mac and searched the internet for some free wav files that I could use as samples. When I played the samples by clicking the link they sounded great. So I went ahead and saved the wav files to the MPC compact flash card and disconnected the unit. Well, when I went to play the samples back on the MPC they were sped up a lot and had the whole chipmunk effect. A 30 second sample would play thru in like 2 or 3 seconds flat. Any help would be appreciated.

The waves you downloaded were not the right sample rate.

The MPC manual tells you the correct sample rate to load into the mpc.

Get a converter and make it happen.
