still need help yall....the volume is HELLA low when i play my MPC for some reason....i can barely even hear the drums...

i have my mpc 1000 plugged into my yamaha mixer which is plugged into the mobilepre USB.....

its all plugged into the right place...when i orginally had it plugged like this in my boy's m-box 2...it worked fine (drums were low but we just turned it up more)...

i have the mixer plugged into the mic 1 input and the mobilepre USB is plugged from the output into the input of the speakers...

i see the green and red lights on the mixer and the mobilepre USB everytime i hit the pad and when the volume to the mex i can hear it but its hella low...

help anyone please?? really appreciate it..

why not use the Inst/Line input on the mobile pre? then you can use the channel 1 Gain knob


that dosnt work?

Mixer shouldn't be going into Mic 1, same as Smoove said.

even when its going into ch1 inst/line the volume is still low....

but then again the ch1 inst/line has room for only one plug while the mixer c-r out has 2 (one left and one right)...but i dont think it matters...

any help anyone??

when i plug it straight into the speakers without the mobilePRE....theres a lot of static but its koo cuz the volume is loud...

whats goin on

The static could be bad cables.....I don't know about your volume issue though!!!!

aiite well i fixed the volume by reinstalling the mobilepre haha...but the sound coming out of the MPC isnt as loud as when my computer music is being played....

without the mobilepre everything sounds fine...but when i plug it into the mobile pre im gettin a crazy ass buzz sound....help how to get rid of the buzz??

remember theres nothing i can use to fix it with ground!!

aiite ima make this question hella easier to understand...

using the mobilepre USB causes the volume of the MPC and decrease dramatically and turning it up only causes a huge buzz sound...

is it the mobilepre USB??
