Vinyl to mpc?

Hey,
Im new to the mpc and just got the Renaissance and im just wondering whats the best way to dub vinyl to the mpc? Ive been using RCA connector from the mixer to the mpc and its not very loud and quality is not that great, i all so try it threw the computer with audacity its was louder but had heaps of static. Any help would be good thanks.

Was the mixer at full or a high gain setting? And what did you have the levels set in the MPC software to record at?

Static? Was the turntable's ground connected to anything. (I don't know if the Ren has a screw to mount the ground cable.)

The Ren's inputs are RIAA phono compliant and a pre-amp (the mixer in this case) is not needed.

I don't have a Ren but those are the basics of hooking up a table because again the phono inputs are on the MPC to receive the low level signal a turntable outputs. Good luck and if you keep having issues there's lots of Ren owners here who can probably assist more.

thanks that helped heaps i was making it more complected then what it is.

were do i go to change the levels of the MPC software (sorry im really new to pritty much all technology)

Break out the manual yo. Page 65 seems to be what you need. (Again I don't have a Ren, and like many here on this forum I want you to realize you have to dig into the manuals and it's best to do it from jump).

That's not to say don't try to learn on the unit itself. Best way is to have the pdf open on the same monitor or pay a bit to have it printed. (I'm assuming they may not have given you a paper one).

There's a good tip in the manual to turn your monitors all the way down first to avoid any speaker/ear tearing accidents.

Give it 3-6 months and get used to MIDI and audio, their differences and how they interact and you'll be able to figure out any software or hardware. It's only head spinning those first few months.

To good man, cheers ledge
