Hello,
I got a soundcraft mtk12, not working properly.
I get click and pops unnoticeable in playback ,just sending from the usb master and direct outs from the mixer.
I used extensively the new usb(unusable) feature to record the busses of a song , processed by external gear.
Always in any track of 5-6 minutes there is a click or pop, maybe just one , but it ruins the track.
I've tried:
-Changing recording resolution to 16 bits, helps a bit , doesn't fix the issue
-Disabling auto warp mode.
-Disabling all the other tracks ,mute then to release resources while recording the new bus.
-Disabling plugin instruments in mpc and just bounce them before record, helps a bit ,doesn't fix th issue
So, after long time testing, to check if the issue was only the usb input recording I've bought a tascam Dr40 to record from the analog outputs.
The click/pops issues are fixed now, but I run into another BIG problem.
The BPM tempo of the tracks recorded are not synced to the tempo of the project.
That's really weird issue, so I get a 0.02 less of BPM in the recorded tracks.
This bug was really annoying until I found it, yes timestretch will fix those shit 0.02 bpm of difference, but if you don't know imagine the situation...
Well, then after looking for a good audio usb interface that is capable of recording smoothly without DAC(usb routing audio) conversion isn't possible.
All people is having issues and IMHO the ones that don't is because they didn't use it for a 2 weeks recording everyday tracks.
I love MPC , but Im gonna sell the MPC one to buy a X and connect with the 8 outputs directly.
Maybe this will be fixed by akai.
But after see all the pro interfaces having the same issues, this update is just a joke
Please as some users said, try your hardware extensively and the usb audio routing to record before posting is a working model here.
