Starting out with Logic and an MPC500

does anyone know where a good place for tutorials regarding these two together... I just bought a midi controller so i really just want to use the mpc for the beat part of it... can i do that live or do i have to file transfer after i have made the beat??

im not sure theres a proper tutorial on logic and the mpc 500, check on youtube, there might be one with reason which could help you out a little to get you started.. everything ive learned on my mpc 500 ive learned by myself i bought that booklet, for 50 bo, and of course i had the manual, they both are **** stupid, what midi controller are you trying to use for these?

Think we need some more info, what kind of interface do you have for instance?

interface as far as? like im on a new imac with logic and i have and axiom 49 key midi controller and my mpc500 plugged in...

Try Future Music / Computer Music mags for starters. FM usually has a Logic tutorials as a regular feature. CM is totally about computer-based music-making and it has some great special issues. There might be an all-about-logic issue as well. Anyway, these mags are just great source of useful info on music production techniques.

Also, try checking out Logic forums on Apple's web-site.

Finally, there are books on Logic: http://www.amazon.com/Logic-Pro-Power-K ... 1598633694

Logic's manual is also a good starting point, as books are usually a summarized and simplified version of manual (and you get it for free with your software, remember?)

Good luck!

chop your samples load them into the mpc

get an audio interface, connect it and your mp to your computer

put the mp in pad to sampler off mode, and make a seperate external midi track in logic,

threse something im forgetting about this...

ill p ost it later or look and ive already posted it before numerous times.
