Hey guys I'm new here, sorry if this is repeat thread but I am having problems syncing to Pro Tools.

I have an MPC 2500, Mbox 2, and Pro Tools LE 7.3.

I am trying to sync the MPC to Pro Tools using the MPC as the master with Midi Time Code. I am recording each sound on its own individual track in Pro Tools using S/PDIF. Everything records fine but the timing is way off. On one track it will be 1 bar late and on another it will be 2 or 3 bars late. I have fussed around with everything I can possibly think of but no luck. I have also tried using Pro Tools as the master but it does the same thing, all the recordings are a little off beat.

Any suggestions?

I have all that right but Pro Tools is not recording the timing properly. All the recordings are off beat.

Did what you said but the timing is still off.
