I know the xl has digital in and out,not sure if the regular 2000 has that, but if it does try that.That audio interface your talkin about only has 2 line inputs,so it might not matter if your MPC does not have 8 outs.

Take the STEREO OUTS to the LINE IN on your soundcard. The XL would only have DIGITAL OUT if it has the 8 outs expansion installed same goes for the mpc2000.

1/4" stereo patch cables. Connect one end from the STEREO OUT of your MPC to LINE IN of your interface.

They are the same option on both, they are not standard.

Maybe grounding/cable/pc noise/emi (electro magnetic interferrence).

That's just off the top of my head thinking. But check into that.

If what Lamp just suggested turns out not to be the problem, make sure you have downloaded and installed the latest m-audio drivers, stop any background programs from running (antivirus, antispyware, automatic updates from windows or any other programs, etc.). If that still doesnt eliminate the problem, check the latency settings on your m-audio interface and adjust them if needed.

Sounds like you may have had that problem before?

Yeah, i've been through all that when i started working with DAWs back in the day. I took alot of time, trial & error, and alot of reading/researching on my own to learn what I know... and I know how frustrating it was back then. 8)
