U should master the MPC before u go buy anything else then you'll learn what you want to buy next, a good set on monitors might be a good start.

Yeah, and a MIDI keyboard....preferably one with a built in module of some sort to kill 2 birds with one stone.

buy some dope records u can never go wrong with vinyl.

Even buy a crate full of whack records for cheap, never know where you can find a ill sample, snare, kick. I like to pick random three records and make a beat just from those three. sometime it turns out whack but sometimes its fresh to def.

Get a pair of monitors! f you can't afford monitors right now get a good pair of headphones to start with. Please don't ask what monitors to get. There are a couple of threads where people have posted what monitors they think are best. You hould search through those. :wink:

do this...challenge yourself. leave you samples to be 2 seconds or less so you can be more precise in your sampling which is much better than jacking the whole loop.

I just wanted to say that this thread made my day. I just read several good recommendations and none of them included:

computer
computer interface
computer software


Long live hardware!
