I wanna chime in on this.
When I was a n00b, still am, I read the manual. I asked very few questions about this machine and have offered help when I knew the answer. But you have to exert yourself a little bit here. You bought a drum machine, not a toy.
I think this is what separates the music lovers/music makers from fanboys. Are you just making music because you can or are you serious about it. As well as I am doing in my career, $500 - $1200 dollars is still allot of money to for a "I think I want to make music for fun" hobby. I won't sell my beats because this is a hobby for me but, I read what I was supposed to and found this site at the same time and have gone through these posts with a fine tooth comb.
When I got my MPC I had VERY little knowledge of music notes, quantize, all that stuff but reading really helped me. I use to break dance and only saw people break and never asked questions but practiced, practiced and did some more practicing. The point is, if you want it bad enough, you won't rely on others for the knowledge except only the most complex of questions. Computer DAWs are great examples of why I might ask questions... but as complex as the MPC can be, it's still a straight forward machine that should be fun or attractive to the user to experiment with and make mistakes with and enjoy the success'.
I sometimes think Rich_Biatch goes over board with the RTFM, but he's got a point. I read and am better for it.
My 7 cents.
Thanks for the free post.
No, the whole point of forums is to search for the answer to your question. That's why every help-oriented forum on Earth has a sticky about the "search" function. If you exauhst this resource, then, and only then, your search for the answer has led you to the fuction known as the "post". Word. I love to help noobs.
