Hi guys,

Lately my MPC X has been driving me crazy.

I use it to loop and record guitar in arrange mode, but I just can't get it to record.

I'm using the correct input and the track is armed (I can see the levels from the incoming audio), but the recordings have no sound.

Weird thing is that recording audio in the sampler works totally fine. Same inputs and everything. But as soon as I switch to main mode/ arranger it doesn't record any audio.

Any ideas what I'm missing?

What changed between last week and now?
Between last time it worked and now it doesn’t?
