Dear Onanissm
Why don't you spend less time posting questions and more time reading the manual and getting to know your machine.
If you are really serious about this you don't need no classes, believe me.
Figuring things out will make you feel good.

yeah read the manual.

this dude is obviously excited however ... onanissm, you aint helpless. you can do some of your own work, read the manual.. stop trying to find ways around putting in work.

-you dont wanna read the manual so you looking for somebody who has to teach you to use your mpc.
-you dont wanna learn sampling, and you dont wanna dig for your own samples... you want somebody to do that and give you the floppy disk
-you dont wanna go on the website for you local music store, you want us to tell you what sound card you need for your gear. do some research.

making beats aint about spending 150 dollars on an mpc and all of a sudden you timberland and dr dre. that shit takes years of practice, style development, technique, everything. it aint like downloading an app on your iphone and bamm, youre a pro beat maker.

money cant buy talent.

as well as reading the manual, try checking out the Sample Kings DVD. This will help a lot if you're just getting started.
Also - have a look through You Tube, there are plenty of people posting up stuff they're doing with a 2500.
Its not just about reading the manual and suddenly becoming an expert. It takes time, but familiarising yourself with the basic stuff and working on from that would be to your benefit.

1) they offer tutorials here on mpc-samples.com so if you are buying one then buy from here... it keeps the forum alive essentially. plus they are apparently great.

2) youtube is great, you just gotta fish through the videos to find the ones that help.
