2000XL Record Ins Problem

Hey fellas,

I sample straight into the 2000xl from the TT with no problems.

I then had to unplug stuff this morning, only to find when i plug the XLR jacks back into the 'Record In' slots, only to find that the Stereo right socket creates a huge buzzing and almost pulsing sound.

I was using a process of elimination with what the problem might be, TT works straight through the soundcard no dramas. So it's either the cords or the input jacks.

Has anyone had the same or similar issues before?

Thanks

sounds like a grounding problem. try plugging the tt and the mpc into different wall sockets in your room, as if they're plugged into the same one you can get a ground loop

what xlr jacks?? the mpc uses 1/4 trs jacks...

yeah sorry. 1/4 inch. My bad

All sorted guys. Broken Preamp!

Mod, you can close this thread.

It's all good Jules. I was just trying to eliminate what it could have been. Turns out it was the preamp!

Just had the same problem 2 days ago. I opened my 2000 and cleaned the memory (It shows 0 MB and Samplingtime --.--) and some other things. Now it is working again.
