p.s. also jus found my old record player n out to get some records....

Just dive in! Make no excuses for yourself and plunge right in, you're not going to learn it without using it.

The key to learning and having fun is to not expect anything right off, just experiment and keep it all exploratory. I find when I sit down and say "I'm going to make a hit" I end up making garbage, if I sit down and just experiment the result is usually much better.

yeh read the manual too...

...and read these posts. you are going to have a question about memory. come back to these pages and read up on it.

yeah. keep reading and become an active member in the boards. it helped me with so many things.

Maybe the guy works too many hours/ jobs (so he can afford something like an MPC1000) and so he never has the time to have FUN. Calm down dude.

Bit like moi at the moment But i can see the point, if you cant even be bothered to open the darn box and plug it in then what hope is there really If after couple weeks you dont like it, whatever sell it but this situ looks a f*ckin joke

whoever is dumb enough to diss a man for a "ghetto studio" rather than judging him on the music he makes is an example of a fool.

"cats are sleeping, thinking they need all this gear" - madlib

i just use an mpc, thousands of mp3s, instrument pgms, some vinyl and reason.

But gotz to admit Madlib does own a bunch of gear himself (mpc4000, sp1200. sp303, at one time a mpc2000xl, Asr-10, alot of multitracks). Just to name a few things he has

haha nevermind **** that hypocrit.

just kidding. he's still good.

He is good. But once I found out that he had all dat i was like dam man. Must be nice. But each his own as the sayin goes
