Just got my own MPC 2000XL!!!!!

I'm finally got my own MPC 2000xl. I've been using the MPC 2000XL at a local studio. But whenever i went to the studio they would load up the sounds before I go there, so now I have my own MPC and sample CD and I don't know how to load it up on the MPC. I have the studio plus. Since I have a sample CD would i have to load it up to my PC first then save it to a cd rom. If so I don't have one what would be the best cd rom to get?

I know I'm asking alot but i wanna get to making beats as soon as possible!!!

Are you a regular at that studio? They just let you go and freak their MPC anytime you want? Damn, that must be nice Where you from? peace

I'm from the most boring city in the mid west wichita, kansas.

LOL, my older sister moved to Kansas City, KS

If you have a zip drive built in in your mpc or you have an external zipdrive connected to your mpc then you can copy the contents from the cd to a zip via a drive connected to your pc/mac otherwise you'll need to buy an external scsi cdrom.

"now I have my own MPC and sample CD"

Congratulations!

Transferring to MPC depends on type of sample CD. Is it `windows` format or Akai format? What CD is it?

Do you have an external SCSI CDROM? Mine is hidden in my studio and no one would ever knew that I have one unless I told them..

The samples are in wav format

"I have a sample CD would i have to load it up to my PC first then save it to a cd rom"

Do you mean "save it to a disk"

"The samples are in wav format '

In most cases you for WAV format CD's you can simply load using your PC and save the WAV to disk for loading with the MPC.

Good luck.
