check it out bro.
to do it real nice you need a dj mixer
and a music mixer with aux channels.
what you want to do is this.
hook up your tables like you would normaly.
send the dj mixer line out into channel one of the music mixer
bus that channel( record player channel) to the aux send.
send the aux send to the mpc in.
send the mpc out to another channel on the mixer.
you can now sample , listen, and play along .
this set up while it may sound complicated has alot of benefits.
1.. you can audition samples before you sample them, wich is the only way to go i think. this set up allows you to listen to the record player and play a beat at the same time, so when you find something you like, you can sample it right then.
2... this set up can also be used to clean up sounds, since your runnin it through a music mixer you can eq stuff better then on a dj mixer.
you control the volume of the record usin the aux gain.
REMEMBER
TURN MAIN MPC VOLUME DOWN WHEN SAMPLIN OR YOU WIL GET FEEDBACK
IF YOU DO GET SOME NASTY FEEDBACK
EQ IT DOWN AND CUTOFF FILTER IT AND MAKE SOME NASTY BASS TONES
peace
