Hello everyone. I am a new member here at the forums, and am looking for some help.
I soon plan to get an MPC500 as an intro into music production. I am young and hope to make it a career someday. I am very interested in Rap/Hip-Hop Beats. Here are my questions:
1. I pretty much know nothing. What hardware do I need to set up an MPC500 and start producing beats and sequences on it? Do I need to buy an Audio Interface? If so, which one?
2. I am interested in creating beats in the same type of way rapper Kanye West does, i.e: I would like to use old jazz samples, old blues samples, etc. I was wondering how do I get the music from an old song and sample perhaps Patty Labelle onto a beat I made with the MPC500.
Thats all I could think of now, I will think of more in a litttle while.
Who can help?
