I guess I can live with that


Well, go ahead and live then... Go take the time to actually help somebody instead of being like the dozens of other "Expert Members" on here. Go write a book about beat-making on the MPC... Wait, I already think there's a person here who did that.

cared to even read a manual.

What a goon.

Just leave if you're going to waste everybody's time by trying to act you're the next J Dilla; stop with the ruffled feathers... I'm pretty sure that there's a time when you were just like me, or were you always that great?!? Nah, I thought not...

hey man, you got off on the wrong foot or side of the bed or what ever you wanna call it.


how about this:

if you want to play sounds from your computer into your mpc:

get this

now if you want to play your playstation games with the sound going into the mpc...

get two of these

Image
(put one on the red jack from the playstation and one on the white jack.. and plug those into the record input of the mpc. you can still put the yellow jack from the PS2 into the tv so you see where you are at in the game)


from record players.. the thing is, the input on the mpc for recording is at line level. most record players need phono level. so people are suggesting DJ mixers because they are designed to take in the phono level turntable and convert it to line level.

good luck man, and RTMFM.

Hey can you use any kind of mixer, like a small channel mixer? Or would it need to have a phono input?

it needs to have a phono input, unless the turntable has line out on it. That is unlikely though, but some of the newer tables have it.

but you could get something like this also:

I never tested any of those, so I dont know how good they are.

no problem man... personally I use a korg kaoss pad 2 (korg kp2) because it has one built in... because since I own a piece of gear that has one I wont bother buying a standalone one. plus it is neat to be able to apply effects on the sample before recording (example: filter to improve static... etc..)

I actually laughed myself when i read this, cause from what i read i sounds like you dont know what a MPC can do and that your like those who think MPC is just a Drum machine or something... I think you know what a MPC can do, its just that u asked in a really really wrong way.
