Just bought some vinyl break kits off ebay just to check any breaks/beats i can use...

Man these self-made breakbeats all sound like crap,no one wants to put these beats on wax..can't use none of them..

Don't get me wrong i got plenty of records but i can't use the breaks that peeps were samplin back n 88..

My motto is if your kicks/snares don't sound right,forget about it..makin a beat is pretty easy putting the right amount of time into them,but most kits are straight up wack...even with the MPC60 they sound shitty

It's time to do some diggin

Don't waste money on that BS anyway. Make your joints and fix what you don't like when you track out. Save yourself the stress and concentrate on getting your idea down. You just need to link up with a good engineer who will take the time to help you realize your vision.
