Each measure or bar contains a number of beats. The beats are the steady pulse of music which is played by your metronome. The time signature is what specifies how many beats will be in the bar and how long each beat is worth. The top number of a time signature tells how many beats are in the bar. The bottom tells what kind of not it is. Ex. If the bottom number is 4 then each beat is a 1/4 note. You can very easily figure out what the 16th and 8th note stuff is my setting your mpc to a steady tempo of about 92 and using the note repeat button on a high hat. Make sure you don't put any swing on the high hat though. I don't understand what you are talking about with the question about the sample. Have you even used your mpc? Alot of this is figured out very quickly by just using the mpc.

what i ment on the question is if i had a beat that i want to be the main beat like the part that plays trought out the beat and i want to add bass and hi hat on top of it how do i do that cause when i do it i press record play and how the tap tempo button with the pad for like 15 second then i go to track 2 and start press record play and it dosent do nothing just 4 ticks then i just start adding stuff and when i put play start the beat that i hold tempo with comes on and then the hi hats and etc i just want it to play it over and i wanna hear the main beat while im addmin all that stuff

you use the over-dub button.

hey aren't there some videos u can buy to show u the basics on mpc??

seriously, that might be the best $$ you could spend at this point.

I think it would've been better for you to buy a basic drum machine such as the alesis SR-16 or one of those Boss Dr's before you bought your mpc cause you really know nothing about making music. Oh well......Its to late now.

yeah so ya dont know no sites?
