sampling from records?

i just picked up 3000 records today, most are classical, soul, jazz. i got some asian, mexian/spanish, and italian. i got some pop and country in the mix, which i don't care for.

im looking into the mpc 1000, how well can i sample onto it? i plan to use the USB connction later on in life, but not at this time.

how well can i sample with it? and i know time stretch ins't an option, which really sucks, so with that in mind, how should i go about doing this? usually i would sample on, then time stretch the samples to fit, thats on a 2000xl, now that i dont have the 2000xl, whats an alternative? remember i dont have a PC conenction right now. otherwise i could do it with a program.

Lay down a beat on the MPC and match the tempo on your record to the beat on the MPC. As long as you are doing 1 or 2 bar measures and have decent beat matching skills, you should be gravy.

3000 records is a lot to pick up in one day... I have been collecting for 20 years and I have less than that!

im got a lot to sort out, thats for sure.

Im sorry,
but could explain why/how/how much it costed to buy 3000 records in one day

Yeah, What store did you knock off and do you own your own truck or rent? Was it an inside job?

i'll take a picture as sooon as possile
there about about 400 45's and about 100 78's, the rest are the 12" we commonly see

i seen an ad in the paper, buy 1000 records for 50$, i called the guy and went over. usually with my luck, i never get ahold of good deals liek this. when i got there there was stack and stack on vinyl he was goign through. they stuff he sorted out was for sale, and was all on the floor in his living room.

this guy was a hobbiest, and was looking for certain sentimental records.

anyways, there were 3 big groups of 1000 each he was selling. on my initial trip i never knoew he had that many, until i got there. i picked up my 1000, which took up a big trunk and back seat.

i went back for the other 2000 in 2 more care, so in a sense i made 3 trips, but i got them all.

i figured why not buy 3000. there were 50$ for a 1000, and 150$ for all 3000. i did what any one would do that had the room, the help and the money.

i've been sorting through soem of it. there is a lot of good samples/ i mean really good. im going grazy with possibilities, in a sense overwheled, but it's all good, im in no rush!


so can anyone help me wwith the original question? sampling to the 1000??

Your best bet is to send me all of the records. I'll go thru all of them and sample anything decent into my mpc1000. Then I'll be able to give you much more accurate instructions.

Just plug the turntable into the RECORD IN on the MPC and sample away. If your turntable doesn't send a hot enough signal, go thru a mixer/preamp first. Once you've sampled into the MPC, save to the flash card. You can then insert the flash card into your computer (flash reader) and edit the sounds, timestretch, etc in the application of your choice.

I think that's what you're asking, if not, explain more.

i'll have to send it through a pre-amp then

but i dotn have acess to a computer to work with right now. so basicly im asking if i can't tiem stretch, how hard is it to make beats with samples not timestretched, they just come in an out instead of being stead on till the end of measures?

if anyone is interested in any, and live around me, and want anythign specificly, or want to buy a couple hundred off me, then im willing to work something out

I almost never do any timestretching. Probably because I started sampling when there wasn't any timestretching to be had. So mainly just pitch adjustments and really just diggin in the crates...I think half of the fun of making beats is finding something that doesn't quite fit and chopping it up or pitching it right so it does.

Re: records, Check your private msgs.

I told you how to do it. Find the tempo you want to write your track at and lay down a simple beat or use the "click" to match the tempo on the turntable.

I never use timestretch on my computer for tracks, so it isn't something you need at all.

yeah, but i dont understand what you mean troma
