As far as the MBox the monitoring functions of it are garbage, you have to always adjust the input/playback knob to monitor everything, it's very annoying. I suggest either running the outputs of the MBox to a small mixer or a monitor switching device like the Samson C Control and running your monitors out form there.

Edit: Also, some folks have had success getting rid of the distortion by uninstalling the MBox and reinstalling it in a different USB slot.

I tried switching the driver, and installing the updates, nothing works. What exactly is causing the distortion? how come when i listen to it in headphones it sounds fine? Also when i play through the outputs closer to the bottom, it sounds great, but cant record? wtf.

I got rid of distortion for now at least. Now, i got the m audio usb uno, how do i use this with the mpc1000?

Midi out from the MPC to midi in on the Uno, midi out on the Uno to midi in on the MPC. Set either the MPC or PT as the master and you're good to go. These links should help.

As to what is causing the distortion, it can be a number of things. Did you uninstall the hardware before trying to install the MBox on a new USB input? Also, I'm a lil confused by what you mean by "outputs closer to the bottom", the MBox only has two sets of outputs, the 1/4 inch outputs and the s/pdif output.

On the usb uno its wierd though, it has midi out and in, but you cant tell which is which. Its hard to explain. i'll have to find a picture of it to show you what i mean.
