sampling cd

Hi,
i'm just about to buy Akai Mpc x. Its my first experience with Akai! my question is if possible i can sampling, trim Cd from a cd player (cambrige cxc) in the same way like a vinyl. I mean to connect directly the cd player to akai and start sampling.
Thank you

Yes, the audio output of the CD player would just be connected to the recording inputs of the MPC and you can sample anything from any CD.

Absolutely. Just make sure to use the 1/4 inputs and not the rca’s. The rca’s are for phono. The 1/4 inch are for line level.

Hello, just got your message. I answered at bandcamp. But I see Tutor got you started.

I assume the CD player has an RCA output, so you'll a cable like this (not as fancy, but to get the point)


Connect the RCA to the output of the CD player and then connect the 1/4" plugs into the input of the MPC X.

The RCA inputs are for turntables with phono only, do not plug the CD player to that.
