a gravitaional pull holds down everything on Earth
me saying gravitzed is just a nother way of saying is your mixer grounded in some cases meens gravity pulled

gravitized isn't a real word, brah.

well thanks for da info

Yes, you want to use the line out with rca plugs. You want to get 1/4 inch adapters to plug it into the mpc. Mess around with the tone and level know on the turntable. Also adjust the record level on the mpc.

Make sure you don't use the headphone jacks to record into the mpc.

Sometime you can have your levels too high and you'll hear noise.

You can always use normalize in the mpc os trim page to bring your levels back up.

Wow, that's some bullsh...

If you mean grounded, why don't you say grounded?

Hi,

You wouldn't need a mixer. The PT-01 has a line level output. Straight into the MPC is fine...but.....although I dont own one, the PT-01 looks to be a portable deck for listening to records in a shop etc, I would seriously doubt that it is of sufficient quality to be a source for good recordings....heres a user review I found:

"Good idea but they should have set it up to use a good quality magnetic cartridge. The cheapo ceramic type included has a higher output so they could make the unit at a lower price point as it does not need an on-board phono preamp. However the freq. range of the ceramic cartridge is severly limited and it tracks at a considerably higher force when compared to any magnetic cart. You're not doing your records any favors. This is the same cartridge they put in that old Soundesign and Yorx crap as well as most of those retro looking radio/turntable combos. I guess you gets what you pays for. If you need portability find an old Audio Technica Soundburger portable player- no speaker so you need to use phones but it has a magnetic cartridge and far superior sound."

Ground hum doesn't sound like white noise, its lower in frequency (50Hz to be precise!) so its not that.

Is the white noise there before you even play the record? If so, your looking at an issue with the quality of the turntable outputs or an impedance problem, if not, your looking at the quality of your needle/record.


I would....

1) Record from the turntable to another destination (even an old tape deck)

Is the noise still there...?

Whatever happens, you'll never go far wrong getting a nicer turntable (vestax/technics) and a nice mixer (not berringer).

You'll enjoy listening to your records more as well !!

White noise is a random production of all frequencies. Ground hum is 50 or 60 hz.

No it doesn't you just made it up then back tracked.
