...that there are sooo many posts here at the forums that are covered
in the book for the MPC .. and soo many other questions that are
easily found by doing a simple google or yahoo search ...

strange ... but if these people were the slightest bit serious about the
craft of produceing music they would search these answers out ..

when i first got into music .. there wasn't any internet .. there was the manuals for the equipment and experimentation ..
i learned about sampling .. and MIDI and all that by playing with
me gear and reading .. asking questions of more seasoned artists was rarely an option because studio knowledge is like the golden grail and peeps werent giveing it away for free .... so you had to figure that issh out on your own .. but thats how you learned ...
these young peeps want all that knowledge but dont wanna take the effort
to go after the know how .....

down right pityfull IMHO
