when i record my vinyl in my mpc(vinyl in good quality)i've got not a
good sound,basic.Maybe i must try to record in my soundcard,i don't know
what i must do for having a good sound.

are you using a turntable and also a phono preamp or are you using a pencil at the end of a paper funnel?

please be specific as to what equipment you are using and how you have it hooked up. if everything is hooked up fine, it might just be bad vinyl or a bad needle.

phono out -> mixer in -> mpc in.

phono gnd <-> mixer gnd.

Try that.

also, make sure that the preamp on the mixer is on. some mixers have a switch which changes between phono and line. make sure it's on phono.

it's what i do,and i don't see button for switch on the preampli,so i think
the préampli is on by default.I don't understand why i don't have a better
sound,in the mpc i set -2db thresold and i watching for the peak not go over.Maybe i must touch to the bass,treble,med button on the mixer,but
i have already do this before.
