Hi guys, I have the following problem. When I'm going to sample by line from my focusrite 2i4 a static noise comes through the plugs. Has anyone had this problem? For some moments the noise stops

Using rca, xlr, ts or trs ? if you're using rca they are subject to all sorts of localized interference. Make sure non of your cables are resting on power cords.

Next is if you are powering that soundcard using the mpc's usb port you likely arent supplying it with enough power and its possibly browning out. Using an externally powered usb hub may correct it for you.

Sadly i cant see into your set up but if you give details on your set up, hardware, config and cabling we may be able to shed some light.

Im trouble shooting noise on behringer xenyx 302 right now.

I am testing on a Roland Rubix 44 next but for right now its clipper City.

## clipper City is what I call a clipping signal, as I image a small port getting ravished by waves of sounds and the small boats are the transients being tossed about.

Probably a gain setting somewhere that Im not looking.

Are you powering the device off the mpc's usb port without a powered hub? An external transformer? Usb 2.0 only delivers .5 amps and usb 3.0 delivers .9 amps. Maybe it's not getting enough juice, or there's some kinda loop goin on.
