i was using all outputs, 1-8 on my mpc3 and i had it ready to record into ableton, i could hear my kick, snare, hi etc. i go to the bathroom and come back and realize that the only thign playing now is my sample which is on channel out puts 1&2 meaning the other output channels are not responding some how, i check the signal flow to make sure that its the mpc that is no working. the night before i also herd this weird metalic sounding motor making noise inside of my mpc and it made my speaker outputs stop working. the next morning which was today it was fine like nothing happend so i finished my beat and when i was about ot record it in my outputs stop working. So basicaly do i need to replace the output connections? has anyone had this problem with there mpc3? im really annoyed right now cause im not sure if its just gona get fixed by itself like it did last night

False alarm. its my stupid ass m-audio sound card that just felt like acting up... ANYONE THAT HAS A MAC DONT BUY THE FIREWIRE 1814.. nothing but problems for me since i got it. i have to unplug every usb or firewire cable connect to my mac when i start up my computer to use my sound interface, i than have to sleep computer and wake it up and than my sound card begings to work properly. dont ask me how i figured this out

If you restart your comp before tracking you should be good, I get some weirdness when just plugging the 1814 direct into the comp..

Are you using the latest drivers?

Are you using the power supply with the 1814?
