ok, i've never really sampled before but, now i have this mpc and i've sampled a 4 bar spanish guitar loop in cool edit 2.0. now before i import this into the mpc to loop it up and add drums, bass, etc. what would i do to get it to really sound good? like what effects do i add to fatten it up and clean it up so it will sound nice? what do you guys do to your samples before you use them? let me know some secrets.

dude i don't own a 4000 (2000XL is have) but don't sample with the computer when you got this baby!!

trust me the quality will be better if you do

don't sample mp3/cd other computer digi stuff..let your needle find the groove :D
