I am experiencing high frequency noise when connecting my 1000 to mixers, sound cards etc, to dump tracks. this happens in my home studio as well as a commercial studios is well. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Im close to throwing this thing against the wall.

for our last album, i sometimes recorded 30+ tracks directly from my mpc to cubase. i never had any noise (if there isn't any on the samples, of course). i know there was a noise-problem if you didn't unplug the usb-cable. so if you have your mpc constantly connected to a computer, try unplugging the usb...

yeah the usb cable was causing me all kinds of feedback I finally unplugged it and wala. Only use when transfering samples.

Noise from electricity can build up by going through machines and equipment. Best thing to do is to get a surge protector with a high noise reducer. And besides a surge protector is a must around expensive equipment anyways. Also cables bundled up together in the same direction cause static, let them cross in an X pattern or just loosely hang.

could try connecting it through an audio isolation transformer/direct box and see if it makes any difference.
