hi
you need a phono preamp...

...or a mixer to get sounds from vinyl to put in to the sampler via the L R inputs of your mpc and a rca/jack cable

Read the f**king manual (you can download it from the Akai website)! Seriously, it's all in there... you gotta do some work, people are not going to spoon feed you.

you can also search for mpc2500 beat making on youtube and get some vids. they wont go through the exact details on the vids, but you'll get a general idea of the process.
