Need help settin up my MPC 2000

Hello folks,

After many, many years I've taken my MPC 2000 out of the closet and want to mess around and make some beats again. Its literally been sitting in the closet for about 5 years now. And because of this I've totally blanked on how to hook everything up.

This is what I got:

MPC -2000 (8 outs)
Mackie 12 channel mixing board
2 Technic 1200's and a two channel dj mixer
2 Powered studio monitors

Any suggestions on how to go about hooking this up, i dont want to do anything to fancy but simply sample and play the beats through the MPC. I've searched the forums but was left a bit confused. Thanks!

Don't forget that you're going to need a pair of midi headphones in order for everything to work properly. Good luck.

the other day my friend asked me to hook his mixer up...


...so i left a bag of weed on top of it and walked out the room.

midi headphones are key for hot tracks
