MIDI output too low in DAW from the Digital out

By Mr.Cheese Wed Sep 03, 2008 7:00 pm

The maximum output from the MPC to Protools, going through the Digital SPDIF cables is very weak. It only goes about halfway up the volume meter. Anyone know why this happens, how to turn the signal up? With the digital outs, the output is independent of the Main Volume Knob on the MPC, or the REc Gain knob.

Rec Gain? Go check ur manual what this button do.

But this is what u should do (u can find this in the manual as well): Go to other (mode pad 10). Check ur volume settings there. That should b it

also, what type of cable are you using? If you're just using rca cables, that might be the problem. You can upgrade to digital transfer cables, and that should give you a better signal.

Midi is data not audio signal.

spdif out is digital, main volume is analog, so you can't control the volume while using spdif. it's like that on many other peices of gear also.

specs between rca and digital coax are different. figure out the specs and use the correct cables. just cause they have the same connector doesn't mean that's what it was designed for.

maybe your samples are just low in the first place.

maybe you have an effect on the master that is making everything low.

maybe take a look at your computer also.
