Just got my mpc 2000 xl

i just got my mpc and sum moniters so im new to this i wanna start sampling and i want to know wat i need to get started like wat basic gear i need

? MPC?

2000xl , my bad

yo i think lampdog ment all you need is an mpc. maybe not though.

It helps to have a main source for sampling, like a turntable (and a mixer would be nice). But really, you can sample from any sound source like your home stereo, vcr/dvd player, the internet.

what does tha mixer do, wats it used for, and i got another question if i wanna get sum more drum kits on2 my 2000xl 4rm a cd

An electrical outlet (you know....to plug it in)
and some 1/4" cords or RCA's - depending on how/what you're sampling
and you already got the speakers so you're ready to get started

Long way to go i reckon....

Got a computer? You could do with one. For sampling mainly - also recording. Something with a decent soundcard.

You also need heaps of SAMPLES now.
When I got my MPC my friends were asking "where the beats at?", I was like yo man, i need to collect more samples an shit,
"oh tru you need samples? I thought the MPC came with them?" F**Ken Idiots.

Drums, Bass, Vocal, Effects, Orchestra, LP- Whatever. I found I wasnt making anything nice until I got all of these, I'm still searching, nothing I have is ever good enough really.

Luck
Pz
ess.

yea thanks all yall for tha input , i just wanna ask every1 after you got your mpc wat was your next peice of gear?

I bought a triton classic about a month after I bought my 2kxl.

Went on to Triton Extreme now, gave up the classic.

Already had a ASR10 from years back though.

Sounds to me like you haven't even sorted out your MPC and your already thinking about your next piece of gear!?

If I was you I'd get the MPC sorted first, and just get some practice in with that, before you go out and maybe un-necassarily buy other stuff.

Just take one step at a time, whats the rush!?

nah man i been getting to know my mpc for a few months i just wanna start sampling now that i feel comfortable with tha mpc and i just wanted to know what i needed liek tunrtables and what not....but after searchign through tha forums i found that out but i still have one more question that was covered but i really didnt get tha conecpt down you kno ..what is tha purpose of having a mixer, what does it do for you and how can u benefit:?:



by tha way after readin thru tha forum i kno why u mpc heads get mad at tha newbs when they post like me JUST GOT MY MPC....HELP....and **** like that lol

NOW you want to start sampling? What've you been doing with the mpc the last few months??

lol dam man my bad PART 5 but wat i mean is from vinyl

A mixer will benefit you in a number of ways.....i'm sure a lot of people on here will be able to tell you the different ways they use them so i can only speak for myself..........

I'm actually not that far away from you in terms of gear..... I have a shyt keyboard that i run into the mixer (channel 2) so i can tweek the EQ's.
I save channel 1 for my mic incase i need to use it...which is rare...unless i'm drunk and get some dumb idea to sample myself sayin something....(usually ends up a waste of time)....
And channel 3 i have my turntable. Then i use the main out to go into 'record in' on the MPC......so if i want to sample something i just gotta go to my sample screen and i have all three possibilities. Plus a mixer will allow you to do EQ changes to your Vinyl....if you need to boost the highs or lows or whatever........ and at this point it sounds like that will be the number one benefit for you getting a mixer

AINZ thanks i appreciate it man good looking out for real tho....
