Hello, I started having a problem that I never had before... Ive been making beats with my mpc hooked up with a midi keyboard and reason for the reason sound modules. Ive been like sampling records and make a beat with them and then put add ons with my keyboard.. and that never had any problems with.. But since like yesterday, If i make for exemple a piano peice with my keyboard on ''midi track 1'' of the mpc, it sounds perfect, but as soon as I add some drums (on other tracks) of my mpc, the sound starts acting weird, like I hear some tiny crackling sound here and there... its hard to really explain my problem AND the sound that it makes.. it's like if you hear some little ''crak'' ''crik'' ''tac'' sounds for no reason... that I even hear after recording the song... its anoying!! I can't record anything now before I find out what the hell is happening sooo thats why i need your help.. if anyone knows... By the way : Its not the speakers,, i tried headphones and all and still does it.. I have a mpc 1000, and an m-audio 61-es.

help ? :(

ps: If i have 4 midi tracks on my mpc and play them without drums.. it sounds perfect, its as soon as the drums are unmuted..

the exact same thing happen to me last night and i figured out what it was. what happen to me was that i added this high frequency hi hat and at certain hits there would be that sound you described, sometimes when a high frequency hi hat is layerd on another hi frequecy hi hat the layering has a negative sounding effect. the way i fixed this problem was buy changing the hi hat i guess you can also fix it by useing fillters. what you layer on top of your samples have to have agreeing frequencies, remember this

That can possibly be a solution... but i mean, I used the same drums a lot and never ever had any problems... and now whatever combination of drums i try does it... i just keep making beats but I cant record any of them cause it always does it!!!!!! its anoying!!.... thanks for the answer maybe did it happen to someone else??
