PAN WHEN RECORDING

I have rca cords running to my mpc (for recording from my pc)
and i have a convertor wich put the left and right rca cords into one jack
i plugged that jack into input on the right (wich is what it says in the manuel)
but samples only play on right speaker is this because i have plugged into input right only? thats what im guessing
also when i pan the sample i get nothing at all on left side so i know the problem is with the input not set up right

is there a more efficiant way to sample from my pc?
or is there anything that will convert the rca cords into 2 separate 1/4 in. jacks?

Oh yeah for sure, you could even go with 1 cable with rca on one end and 1/4" on the other, so you would need 2 cables. Check this place out, I did a quick search on google and this site came up.

You don't need to sample from your pc.
Just transfer your sound/samples via the USB connection into the mpc500

Why connect the 2 RCA outputs to the 1 jack input?

Just connect the left and right RCA outputs to the left and right jack inputs.

If you are only connecting to one jack input on the MPC500, then you need to set the MPC500 to sample in mono from that jack, and not in stereo.

As said above, just save your sounds as .WAV files in the computer, and copy them onto the MPC500 CF card by connecting it to your computer by the USB cable, then load the samples from the CF card into the MPC500.

I WAS CONVERTING THE RCA CORDS CAUSE THE INPUT IS FOR 1/4 IN. JACK SO THATS ALL I HAD LAYING AROUND.

YEAH IM GONNA TRY USING THE USB CONNECTION TO LOAD SAMPLES AND SEE HOW IT WORKS OUT THANKS.
