How you doin´ yall? I just wanted to say that this MPC 2500 is changed my life. All automatic shit I need. Nothing more. Im one step away from starting to produce beats. That step is chipmunk sound, which I mean is the tune. So I automaticly take the sample, automaticly take the tempo. But if I tune the sample, how Im I gonna get it back to the sample screen to get the detect tempo? I hate setting the tempo, automatism (not sure if correctly spelled) is the reason I bought this machine. So please, help me. Also if this isnt possible, any computer software or other trick is fine, if it doesnt change the end / start points. So help me please.

#1...the chipmunk sound is already played out imo
#2...aint no machine gunna put in that much work for you. You'll need to tune/find tempo by ear...get used to it if you seriously wanna produce.

there are a million dime a dozen 16 year old kids trying to sound like kanye and the heatmakers, so don't think ur gonna get shit , trying to imitate them. Also don't think of beatmaking as a math equation. be creative and have fun at the same time.

A little pitch up would be nice, but sad that this is not capable to do that. Is there any way I could take the speeded up sample back to sample screen? And don´t hate on me, yea you could say that im 17 year old kid whose imitating HM and KW, but thats just what my ears find the best.

Nobody is hating on you, if you read between the lines, they're offering you advice...by the time you get good enough, that sound will be played out xs 200 and you'll sound extremely dated and unoriginal...
