Im a beginner at producing and I just bought the mpc 2000 which is pretty dope by the way. Im still figuring out and learning alot about it everyday but one thing is bothering though. Truth is, i dont want to be labeled as a one dimensional producer so i try different things. Im getting into sampling now and ive been sampling from the very little collecton of vinyl that i have (we dont have any records stores where im from). My question though is, is there a way to sample from Cd's and if so, How?

Cd audio out into mpc record in.


LOOK at the outputs, get the cables for it, sample into the mpc.

cmon man there HAS to be at least one record shop in Joliet. if not, hit up salvation army, goodwill, pawn shops, or anything like that.

sampling cd's is ok too

i found an awesome little piece of vinyl in the charity shop last week which was a "world of strings" type thing
I told the woman off for charging me £1 and said the prices in charity shops these days are extortionate !! (its tru though)

looked it up on the net and it sells for $25...Beaudy !

man, flowers vinyl..
if it makes a noise you like, sample it. There is no law that states that you have to use records.

thats crazy but i can relate. im a couple hours south of you & theres only two spots left. one of em just opened up last year too!

beware of those goodwill/salvation army spots though... its gonna be a bunch of crap. xmas records. firestone tires presents the us navy academy chorous. etc.

Don't believe this guy, he's full of lies!
Sampling from anything but vinyl will destroy your MPC and void the warranty.
