Turntable or cd for sampling?

ok i have a huge question for the mpc users. i have a mpc 2000xl and i have used both cd and records to sample so my question is, why do people choose to use turntables other than cd players to sample. i know that records has excellent sound quality. but its a lot easier to get music on cd than anything else. it just seems to be more logical to sample from cds. what do you guys think. and why?

EDIT: damn i just realize i misunderstood you question. actually i think its easier to sample records. simply because you have full controll of your work flow and somewhat control of the tempo.

and obvisouly the vintage sound.

do both.

when i do sample, i sample from vinyl.

I got to agree with EMFinite on the records, you do have more control over your sample in so many ways than sampling from a cd it's just one way unless you're using one of those DJ Station with the two cd players in the place of the turntables.

it dont matter you can always add crackle to a cd sample

i got loads of cds and if i aint got the same sample on vinyl then i use cd

depends if you want a clean sound or not

Both... If I could sample from an 8-track tape player I would son.

We've discussed this alot before and i think most people would say sample from both.There's really only one reason why i sample from both,and that's because some stuff i have on c.d. and not vinyl and vice versa.You just have to use whatever resources you have available. ie.dvd,vinyl,c.d.,tape,whatever.

vinyl till I die

fake crackles and static cant replace the sound of that needle on top of the record

but I will sample a cd if its a hot song on one

This is a question I have been wanting to ask for a while too. Thanks bro for gettin us both some answers. Now pick up the phone, call me and lets bang out some heat. I picked up an old school jazz record I wanna check out.

You know thats just not the same. There is more to vinyl sound than snap crackle and pop. Vinyl is so much more convinient to cue up and sample too. For those who dont like to pitch down in the mpc, alalog pitching on turntable sounds so much better. Well, I cant find everything on vinyl so I still sample cd's from time to time.

When I sample, I typically choose to sample from vinyl...I'm still using floppies...I know, it's sad...but, in order for me to save room and keep from using 10 floppy disks for one beat, I choose vinyl...Vinyl allows me to sample records at 45 rpm and 78 rpm...Now trust, i'm not doing this for the Kanye Blaze chipmunk extravaganza...I slow it back down once it is sampled, but when I save it, because I sampled it so fast, it takes up barely any space...this saves tons of money on floppy disks...

Vinyl is fuller, thicker, fatter and just plain ol hip-hop, unless you're making beats for Will Smith sample from vinyl, but at times you want a nice clean sound that isn't muddled then sample from cd. So I guess I'm saying do what you do just make it fresh.

Plus you get laid more sampling from vinyl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Plus, alot of music released back in the 70's (before CDs) that wasn't big hits back then is not available on CDs. Only the old vinyl, and so vinyl is what is used.

The lovely sound of vinyl is just a bonus.
