Hi,
I have an MPC live2 and I am running the latest firmware update 3.4.2.
I have noticed that when I chop or trim a sample i get unwanted crackle noises or pops and clicks at the end of the chops that were not there when I recorded the sample.
It never used to happen with 2.0, so I am wondering if anyone else is having the same issue and if they have worked out how to fix the problem?

Yeah I’m chopping samples as usual like I have always done on 2.0 with no issues. It’s not a single pop, like if the sample isn’t chopped on point. It’s like a strange crackle at the end of the chop that wasn’t there when I trimmed the sample. It only starts once I’ve chopped the sample in chop mode.

I have owned mpc 2000xl and Maschine studio and never had this issue with either. Plus it was never an issue with 2.0 nor the beta 3.0. It kinda started on the last update to 3.0.
