What kind of fuzz? Like glitchy somthing might be wrong digitally kind of fuzz or distorted like somethings wrong with my connection type fuzz?

also make sure your gain switch next to your rec input is set to high.

Hit the drum mix button and hit option 1 check to see all the levels are high use the down arrow to control the volumes.

yes...the levels arent going up high enough.. they arent even reaching half across teh screen....they were going alot higher when i was using my mixer but it wasnt coming out that good.. wuts up with this sh!t

it mite be a good idea to donwload a disk like the 808 kit from http://www.rogerlinndesign.com/downloads/tr808.zip
then load it iinto the 60 and see if the output levls are cool. Its an old machine and it will take some getting used to mines a strait hoopty bro rust and all misisn hub caps n shyt.

you know what... im a a$$hole newb with this thing... i pluged the outs from the turn into the return ins of the mpc instead of the rec. in... i just thought it was wierd that there was 1 in for the rec. in...

Ha ha, nah man, set the gain switch to medium, and turn the volume knob up all the way, go through your mixer into the sample input only. I use one og them two RCA to Mono 1/4 inch adapters to sum left right into mono, that might get it louder, and on my sample screen my record gain is usually set between 40-60, never higher. The High Gain switch can cause distortion, that might be the fuzz you are talking about.

You did notice the record gain parameter on the sample screen didn't you?

Take it slower dude.

nah... i was sampling into the return ins and thats why everything was **** up.. i just thought it was wierd that there was only 1 rec. in... so i didnt fukk with it at first.... i threw it in rec. in and it works perfect now... this thing sounds amazing...cant wait to get that 3.10 so i can sample over 5 sec...

is this different from the 'record level?' my record level is always set at the default setting of 95 and my samples sound perfectly fine. i never change this setting.
