"i went through like 20 pages and didnt see this question so if it has been answered before"
I don't even remember seeing this question before either..


"how can I rip music from the stereo(cd) and put it into my 2kxl "
pc / mac / what wave editor(s) are u using, c'mon don't make us guess.
someone who is using that software can possibly answer. The more you let us know the more your chances are of getting the proper help/advice..

"also is their a way to hook a turntable up to that same stereo as a sort of amp and rip vinyl to the mp?"
Yes.

here is a lil trick I use....

1st: Music Match to Rip the cd (or if the format is right you can use Wavelab or Sound Forge)

2nd: Use wavelab or sound forge to start stealing your chops or samples... Copy what you want and paste it in a new edit. Set up your timing so that it hits on the pads right....

3rd: Save it as .wav

4th: Download the www.midicase.com MPC Editor and create your .pgm
(make sure your save the .pgm and all the sounds in the same folder if you save it on your pc / mac)

5th: pop in your zip and export your .pgm --- load it into your MPC and BOOM you are up in running...

this is just my method.... there are several... and I am a newbie to the mpc also.. but I am a digital head so..... I like software and all that...

Low

thank you very much......i'll use that method then..........what editor would you reccomend?

i have a cable from the output of my cd player and i plug it into the record in on my mpc. go into sample mode and record what i want thru there.

From the stereo? Then it's not ripping, just sampling, hook up the audio line outs. (Even better: if you have Digital out on your stereo, hook that up.

No line outs? Use a headphone socket, and a 1/8" -> RCA cable, but be careful of the levels. (Start with the outs and the record level at 1/2.)

Does your stereo have Tape Outs/Ins? That's an ideal way to hook up the MPC, you can control what goes to the tape outs -> MPC.
