sampling static

[6moves]

whats up. i did a search and still cant find the answer. i got my record outs from my mpc 2000 going into a headphone jack to sample off sample cd's. the problem is i played with the threshold and its so staticy and distroted. am i doing something wrong?

 

[eka]

don't you need to use the record in?
and maybe you sampled it to loud.

thats what i meant record in. my fault. nah its not the recording its actually just feedback in general through ny headphones. i turned volume down and i keep playing with the levels and i still get static.?????????

i dont think so there fresh out the package from rogue(nyc heads know) we'll see what happens ill keep tryin and messin with it. im getting frustrated cuz i just got the mpc off my man for $350.( he was tight for cash) so i look at it everyday and get pissed.:headbang:

a quick test, you are using phones but what does the real mix sound like through the monitors or your mixer if you have one, and what happens if you get a clean sample and load and then test it in one of your pads?....

Is your table grounded?

Go thru a mixer first, i dont know.

Also, if you have a computer, rip the track on to it then grab the samples from the rip tracks with Audition.

Ok yall aint paying attention he said he sampling from cds from what I guess a portable cd player. He's using the headfone OUTPUT of the cd player in to the record INPUTS. Of his mpc (wow 350 wow lucky bastard. Lol)
You don't have to ground a cd player guys.

the head fone out signal I believe is a different level than line level not sure tho. If lowering the volume on the cd player and or record level on the mpc don't work. Id sugest using a regular cd player wit rca outs
And if it still come out messed up its the mpc (but hey 350 so y complain lol) mite be the record in on the mpc. Check dat out.

Oh yeah I know about ROUGE . Bought and sold a few pieces to and from them. They have good ish. The only place id buy used gear from
But yo go to radio shack and get another brand new wire and try it ( only 3 bucks , shoot wit all you saved on the mpc. Lol ok ill stop now.)

Hoped I helped. I don't have a mpc. But know about hooking up things in general.

ok... Freaks is here... so never fear...
[LaV] that is correct..you have to ground to the car frame... usually you'll see it under the carpet in the trunks or backseats....

[ Dj T] it's your CD player sadly to say... your audio card that is soldered in is loose and your getting static from your plug wiggling around in there... if you put your headphones on and wiggle it...you can hear is in your headphones also...you cables are just doing a better job at picking it up, becuz they are bigger then your headphone cable....to test my answer.... run RCA to 1/8"...and see if it is still staticy...

best of luck...

One Love.

6 moves, is dis AKAI sample cd's ? cos if it is, i recommend u use a program called CDXTRACT , what u do is, u put da cd into ya cd rom on da computer and CDXTRACT will convert all these partitions into your chosen format (.wav , .sf2 , .giga , .nki or whatever)

And if its a CDDA sample cd, what u should do is convert da whole CD into .wav , then use a program called WAVEKNIFE (just use google)
it will auto chop all the tracks for u (it cuts where theres silence, u can configure it how u like)

hope this helps
