Hi there,

I just decided to go for a MPC X and learn all the basic stuff. I'm a bloody beginner so it'd be great if you could help me out:

I'll buy the following items:

- Yamaha HS8 x 2 monitors
- AKAI MPC X
- Ecler Nuo 2.0 Mixer
- Technics 1200 (which I already have for about 20 yrs)

So my question is - what would be the best way to cable this stuff? And whiche cables / outs / ins should I use?
I'd love to go either from the MPC right into the monitors and from my mixer & turntable right into the monitors.

Would it be wise if I plug the MPC into the mixer (would there be a quality loss when sampling records?) or is there any way to plug in both devices seperately into the monitors so I don't have to switch on the mixer when using the MPC only?

Sorry, just some stupid questions but I'm learning ...

thanx a lot!

Good start Lamp! To the OP...Always start with the basics, then move to the more advanced setups.
