Found an MPC 2kxl on Ebay with the 8 outs and max memory and I'm really excited to start diving into it, but since I don't have it yet and I'm still learning all the ins and outs via Youtube/reading I figured I'd make a post to see if I could get some help.
My main goal is to be able to sample records but my turntable is a Music Hall MMF 2.2 (No built-in preamp). I have it connected to a Denon AV Receiver as the preamp but I'm not sure I'd be able to plug the MPC into that? Even if I could, that would involve me sitting in the living room and I'd rather work at my desk with my PC. If that's the case then I'm guessing I need a mixer, I have a Yamaha AG03 but I don't think that will work (I need a phono in which is more DJ mixer specific from what I've gathered). Do I need an audio interface or will the mixer be enough?
Other equipment I'm planning on getting would be an SP-404 OG or SX down the line, as well as a MIDI controller (Sooner rather then later). I'm wondering what other mods would benefit the XL (a card reader would probably be my next upgrade). I just get confused on the hardware aspect, like which plugs do I need and why having the 8 outs is so important. I also wanna make sure I have everything so when it gets delivered I can start playing with it. Thanks for all the help guys, I'm excited!
