Someone explain this.
I have balanced cables going from my mixer into my MPC's record ins.
I was sampling a record and suddenly the level on the other one (R) dropped. I start troubleshooting. Check the connections, etc. I switch the cables going into the MPC, L to R and R to L. Bingo, the output level on the other cable is weak no matter where I plug it.
So I figure it's a bum cable, and replace it with another one. No big deal. But the problem's there with the new cable as well! So I do a simple switch. The cable that goes from MIXER (L) to MPC (L) I change so it goes from MIXER (R) to MPC (R). I do the same with the other cable. And the problem's gone. Now whatever combination I try with the cables the level's are fine.
Any idea what's going on here?
