how can i turn this OFF?!

when a track is on mute, ill press the pad and get no sound (duh) but i dont remember this happening before. i know if i record sumthin, then mute the track i wont hear what i recorded on that track, but i should still be able to press a pad on the mpc and get sound right? is there a way to turn that off? it only happends when im trying to play sounds from an external source (i.e. my motif rack) but not with sounds stored in the mpc.

Hmm, never had this problem. Are you using the input thru or are your MPC and motif going to a mixer?

my mpc is the only thing goin thru a mixer, then to digi002...everything else is midi out from mpc to rack...then audio from rack str8 to digi002

That might be why. Try running the Motif to the same mixer the MPC goes to instead of running the motif into the MPC.

Weird, this happened to me when I updated from OS 1.21 to OS 1.22... It totally didn't happen before, but still happens to this day.

i would run it like that but my Mackie gives a lot of feedback noise (that hisssss) when i have everything else running thru it before the digi002...i only run the mpc thru cause it makes my kicks and 808s knock harder

You can use a Gate plugin in Pro Tools to get rid of the hiss. Just drag the slider down just until the hiss is gone and the music plays without sounding choppy!
