ok guys, i have the MPC in a diff room then my turntables adn my mixer....but i ran extention cords so they are all on the same outlet(no ground loop then). so i ran a 50 foot RCA from the record out on my mixer to the analog in on my MPC, yet when i go to record on my MPC4000 the lvl needs to be super low witch sucks! and i hear a very noticable HUM in the backround what can i do?

there always gonna be a bit of mains hum, maybe from yr mixer and pc, plus a 50ft cable will have a bit of resistance (remember ohms law hehe) anyway, difficult one, u can try using sound forges noise reduction plugin, its a good plug in to remove this kinda sound, but it aint perfect, and u can over do it. Do u have a good soundcard?
u may need to move a deck and mixer next to the cpu and use the shortedt cable u can get.

hahahahahahahaahahah.....anyway tho....must be the long rca cord or somethin. why are they in opposite rooms anyway....? you got room to put them next to each other.....?

sorry man reread it i thought u said PC not MPC,
but its probably the length of the cable

does your mixer and the MPC have balanced in and out if you use these it will cut down on the interference a little, but I wouldn't recogmend running anything over 20 ft in a studio environment and try to keep it as short as possible. The cables are always the weakest link in a sound system so if you can reduce the amoun t that you use, you'll be better off.

i reduced cable lenth, much better

yeah try not to use unbalanced cables for more than 15 feet and no more than 20
