After i sample something from my turntable straight into the mpc and i switch to trim mode the waveform just looks like a thin straight black line. I cant see in detail the waveform because it just looks like a straight line. Anyone know why? or have a suggestion i cant figure it out.
MPC 2000xl sampled waveform
- Thread starter A_M_P
- Start date
looks like this. is this normal?

when you say turntable straight into the mpc are you saying you're connecting the rca outputs of the turntable directly into the mpc with rca->1/4" adaptors?
The adaptors are no problem but you'll need to route the turntable through some sort of phono preamp, dj mixers are the most common.
If none of these are issues for you I'd check the levels coming in to the mpc, bring the gains up on your source first (pushed up to about 3/4 or a little higher will be loud without distortion) then raise the rec gain knob on the mpc til you have a strong signal (bumping around the max bar but not clipping into it)
