Big Uh-oh right there.

I'd expect them to be the first ones not to understand a technical problem! :lol:

This one rings a bell to me. The MPC records only 16 Bit. Make sure the Digital Ins/Outs are matching if you use those for recording.

Yeah, didn't somebody post something recently about incompatible s/pdif transmission modes with the MPC digital I/O and that same mixer?

Is there anyway i can record both at 24 bits or both at 16 bits?or there's no possible way?..because my mixer is at 24 and my mpc at 16 bits..This sux there's so many reasons i can be getting these sounds im just gonna have 2 keep looking..if i can't figure it out,what if i send my sample to my computer and record it at 16 bits then send it to my mpc?would that change the sound of my sample as far as the quality or even the old school crackle sound which i luv?

I had a similar issue...

- Check that you don't have a light with a dimmer near your setup
- Make sure that your audio cables don't run near or parallel with power cables/sockets
- Use good quality audio cables
- Make sure your decks and such are grounded.

My problem was that my socket wasn't grounded. I noticed it when recording with my laptop. It had a weird hiss on the signal and when I unplugged it it was fine.
