I'd advise getting a pair of good headphones. They don't have to cost several hundreds of pounds/dollars, but they will be a good investment.

You may not be feeling too rich after just buying a 4000 - and I'd advise taking some time to research into working out the best pair of speakers/amplifiers/mixers etc.

But my opinion is - to start learning about your mpc, I'd advise getting a pair of good headphones.

This reminds me of when I got my first synthesizer module to go with my original keyboard. I MIDI'd the two together and could not figure out why I could only get sound from one at a time... I thought that the sound was sent out through MIDI. Never dawned on me that they both needed to be plugged in :lol: You mean I need a mixer now! Taught me to do my homework BEFORE buying... You'll get there grasshopper.

to be fair, if you're planning on mixing down your ish properly you should do some homework on monitors:

http://www.tweakheadz.com/studio_monitors.htm

for about 300 bucks you can cop a pretty decent pair.

you should also figure that you need the proper cables, possibly an audio interface if you're also using a computer, etc.

but welcome, spend some time reading & figuring out how you want to set your studio up.
