Am I ready to make beats? List of my gear, let me know!

Brother it's all in your manual check it out.

The basic way is to connect your headphone or stereo audio output to your computer sound card line in or mic jack. Open up any recording software application. Press record on your computer app and play your song back or play live from the MPC.

That is the very very simple method not even involving a DAW. There are many other ways to capture the magic.

I think yo ready but it really helps if you can hear da Midi's.

I think your equipment is ready to go but.....sorry......what about you???


peace

I think you need to sell all your gear and get that all-in-one joint... Beat Thang by The Beat Kangz.
It does everything even downloads samples from the internet via 3G network.

And of course get some Beats By Dre MIDI headphones. They are Uber-cool.

I wonder how many more times one of these threads will spring up.

Anothger thing, ive found a kinda old turntable.. does it have to be a newer model to work with the mpc?

Nah, as long as it has phono hookups and a ground wire if necessary should be all good. Is it a Midi turntable?

all i know is that it is from 93, and i can play records on it :p

Ah man, it must be one of them '93 Midi-to-audio platter master 200's???

I dont know anything about vinyl turntables :p can i hook it up?

yeah man, just make sure it's got phonos

dont crank up midi signal too hot or it will fry your internals, I've learned it the hard way

Correct me if im wrong.

MPC To my Fast Track Soundcard, in the instrument port? The one with the guitar above it, and then the soundcard to my Mac Pro?

Cheers


Also, can i hook up my axiom 25 to the mpc to trigger sounds from the mpc on the Axiom?

Thanks alot guys!

read the manual and try to process what's in there with brains and all questions mentioned in this thread should get answered quickly
part of the fun in the music thing is actually trying to find out how to use things by reading the books delivered with your hardware and looking at the pictures in this books

I feel you did a good job thinking over your nickname, making it sound like you're a 'producer' 'SajjkProds' but I wonder what you could actually Produce if you even do not have the basic knowledge of how to connect audio cables to a computerinterface.

Just imagine internet would not exist (10 years ago or so) and you actually HAD to read all these stupid manuals to know how to get one note out of this hardware...these were the times not everyone called himself 'producer'
