Buzzing sound when sampling

By jakeh Tue Nov 06, 2007 6:16 pm
When I put my mpc 2000xl into sample mode I get this low buzz sound coming outta my speakers. I have my turntable hooked directly up to the stereo In on my mpc, and my mpc outs to a 4 channel mixer. Help is needed thanks!

could be your cables or just go back and check your signal flow and make sure your adjusting your gains approp. Only thing i can really think of.

dont u need to boost the signal from your tt before going into the mpc?

Would it be better to go TT to mixer then stereo out of mixer to Ins of mpc then out to speakers?

Is your turntable grounded?
