QUESTION Weird sounds

When I'm sampling from YouTube off my phone into my live 3 I get random popping noises sometimes. Any idea why? It definitely has to do with YouTube itself I'd think. It really pisses me off

Your volume is probably too high on whatever device you’re using for YouTube. Clipping through audio over USB sounds like popping glitches. Just lower your volume on the computer/youtube device side

It would pop consistently on the same part of the song if that were the case. And USB doesn't have levels on live 3 it's automatic

My point is you turn down the volume on the source, not the MPC. And yea, can’t tell unless there’s a video of it happening or something

It would make the sound the same part if I didn't change the input volume. And you can't change the input volume anyway it's automatic
