Right this is hard to explain but I'm going to try my best!

I went to record in some bass earlier on today, and by accident i hard it turned up very loud, when i hit play on the computer it was super distorted, now thats going through the mpc and out into my monitors. After this I tried recording something else. Recording sounded fine as it was being recorded, but when played back there was this really noticeable buzzing sound coming from the right. So I played some other beats, they all sounded perfectly fine, then tried recording something else in, sounded fine during recording, but then with playback, it was f'd up again. So then I tried changing wires to see if it was that, i even tried different speakers, different plug sockets, I even took it out of my room! So then I just hit record with no wires again, again sounded fine when recorded, but on playback without absolutely nothing else plugged in apart from headphones, I got that buzzing noise on the right side.

I'm guessing its something inside the MPC, anybody had the same sort of problem?

turn down your sound source, record it and look at the record screen to see if the meter is clipping(hitting the left wall).
