Could you supply a bit more information ?

Is this a problem that "just appeared over night" ?

What type of source are you recording ?

What is the level input on the MPC3000 set to ?

Are you sampling analog or digital into the MPC3000 ?

I was sampling from my Turntable thru my Rane Mixer to the Analog Record input on my MPC. The MPC is was set on hi gain. The problem just appeared. However, I had the MPC on for a few days because I had been chopping up drums break on the it. I've left my Mpc on a Few days at a time with no problem before. Now when I enter in the sample screen, I get strong distortion sound almost like white noise. What's the Diagnosis?

LE if you are out there your help would be appreciated

Yo man, just change the gain setting to mid or low gain. Hi gain is designed for a recording straight off a non-phantom power mic.[/u]

Dude is 100% right, just use low gain as you did before and everyone else does.

Nice mixers the RANE's.

The RANE is capable of a hot output enough to drive the MPC3000 into clipping with it's inputs set on low. ( well ... the last RANE I use was/did/could )

Hard to say Philly.

There are many things that could cause noise like you describe at the inputs...

Is the noise present with nothing connected to the MPC3000 inputs ?
