Thinking of buying an mpc:

ive been making beats for a while now and am looking to upgrade a lil bit. i have at my house a computer, midi keybaord (usb) and reason, anmd cubase sx. im doing an internship at a local studio, and ive been playing around on their mpc, and i really like it.

my funds are extreemely limited. is it worth it to buy an mpc new, even if it will take me a few months to get enough moeny? or should i just buy one off ebay?

i have an old technics turntable (single) that i have been using hooked into my soundcard for sampling purposes. how could i hook that up to my mpc?

thanks

ok not to be rude here...

but you are limited on funds...
buy USED... if it takes you a few months to afford an MPC.. itll take u even more months to buy one new over used.

2. yes

HIP HOP?

What happened to the essence? Support each other and support yourself.

Which MPC do they have at the studio?

New 1k prices are comparable to used 2kxl prices.

I think you'll need a phono pre-amp to connect a turntable. Double check. I haven't tried it yet as I haven't had mine long. Sequencing drum sounds and external MIDI gear is keeping me busy enough let alone digging into the crates

FYI: I'm selling my MPC1k on eBay, along with a 512MB CompactFlash card and a USB card reader.

the mpc at the studio is a 2000xl
i like that, but i had thhough it would be too expensive.
