getting noise in the mix from my MPC 1000 ?

After tracking my MPC 1000 into Cubase 3 SX (VIA Mbox 2) im getting noise and with i have 8 odd tracks it really gets loud when i have a solo track. A mate showed me a noise gate trick but that was on SX 2 and now i have SX 3 and its not the same, so does anyone have and tips to kill the noise ?.

properly ground everything in your record chain.

Well, different types of noise will correspond to different issues with your studio gear/wiring/power but, in my experience, the most common problem is the 60 cycle hum (ground loop). Other types of noise include RF, mechanical vibrations, power surge and drain, etc, etc.
I assumed it was grounding issue as that has been the most common type of noise I've encountered.

Describe the noise and I'll take a crack at helping...

BTW: much better to fix the source of the noise problem than gating it out in the mix.

If solving the problem at the source isn't a priority then get a compatible gate plugin maybe like this: gate
The gate will pull the noise from in between the sounds but it will become an artifact in the sound itself. A gate won't get rid of that.

FWIW: to fix a mains hum, connect all the metal chassis of your gear together and ground the entire system at one point as opposed to multiple ground points via different AC cable grounds. Using transformer balanced gear helps as well.
