Although I have some music experience, I'm not very aware of the cables needed for connecting a turntable to a sampler. My turntable came with an RCA to RCA cable, so would I just have to buy an adapter from RCA to 1/4 inch in order to be able and connect the turntable to my MPC through the quarter inch inputs on the back? Or is there more cable-ry to it? Also, if someone could help me out with some info about connecting such turntable to a speaker(specifically a BOSE SoundTouch 20) because when plugging the usb cable which came with the turntable my speaker does not produce any output although the vinyl is playing and I've tested the speaker's aux as I have it hooked up to my sampler and it works perfectly fine so I am quite confused. I do have the turntable's switch on "line" which should work, also tried phono but line should be working from what I know.

Appreciate any info on this,

Keep sampling and spreading good vibes lads :)

For the MPC One connection, set the turntable to LINE and use RCA to 1/4" jack cable (or RCA-to-jack adapters). That should be it.

Beyond the scope of this forum, but your speaker, isn't it just a wireless speaker, e.g. bluetooth / wifi, so it connects with your network media and services like spotify etc? The USB port is just for charging, no? You can only use the AUX to hear sound from your turntable.

If you plugged it in via usb you would need to switch the selected soundcard in settings and pray it does the proper rate. Since the deck itself doesnt have any playback channels its very likely to fail.

Like mentioned above if the deck has its own phono preamp flip it to line and use the cables above to route the audio in over ts rather than usb.
