Real Newb Question..

By jester1189 Tue Sep 16, 2008 8:51 pm
I have FL studio 8 and i have been using that for a few years, but i just bought an MPC 1000 and its shipping here.. Anyway, my question is what do you need for audio output? This kid at guitar center told me to hear the sounds i need like 500 dollar speakers.. please help..

Based on your post I have to assume you dont have much experience so I'll be easy on you.


What have you been using to hear FL? If its the computer speakers then you can connect them to the headphone out of the MPC to hear audio. If not then you will need to get yourself some monitors. Do you have to spend $500....no....but if you buy cheap A$$ speakers you'll just be replacing them in a year so choose wisely. Another alternative is to work off headphones until you get your bread up.
