Few Questions....Advice Needed

first off.............i'm a-dub, new here so i fort i'd introduce myself, wats up

secondly, i'm guessing that you get a million new users sign up and ask questions, but i can assure u i am a dedicated music maker, not jus some random who's seen a kanye beat video and decided i wanna make beats

i've been fukin with fruity loops for a good 5 years now, and jus started looping up shit on fruity..........but i'm gettin bored of computers and fruity and wanna use some hardware, i've read quite a bit bout mpc's and used a 1000 in a shop briefly.

i'm looking to spend some money on gettin a small home studio up and running, i'm lookin to buy an mpc to make beats and i want to be able to record decent sounding vocals.........

firstly which mpc would be most benficial to buy, i was thinkin the 2500, as i'm not new to beat making, but i'm far from a pro.............i was advised against buying the 4000

i am also goin to buy some sort of apple computer, altho i am still unsure which one would be beneficial to me.

i have also been advised to buy a digi002, altho i have no idea wat this does, would this benefit me in recording vocals?

with reagrds to midi keyboard which one would work best with an mpc.............or would i be best to use some sort of software with a midi keyboard and the mpc

any help would be gladly appreciated, as i have been suggested so many things i am a little in the dark

thanks again

with the beat making part i would start slow just a turntable and/or keyboard and mpc. learn the basics then expand.
too much shit might **** a hardware noob up.
If you concentrate on making bangers -you eventually will
if you concentrate on the gear too much you will be a broke gear junkie.
most the illest producers don't know everything about every piece of equiptment, they just organize ill sounds.
A lot of shit producers have mad gear and know them inside out and produce garbage

i don;t know about the vocals part. except youll probably have to drop a lot of money on a decent mic and some fancy shit to plug it into.

thanx man.........................

that was the plan anyways....................,mpc first and then build around it...............

i was jus finking about the bigger picture.........

which mpc would you suggest

like i said i aint new to making beats, but new to the mpc...........

i dont wanna get a 1000 and out grow it in a few months

but then i dont wanna get a 4000 and be confused


lol

i don't know man. All i can tell you is i got a 2kxl and I like it.

What do you want to do that a 1000 can't? It's the cheapest, so if it fits your needs, then grab it. Especially if you already are computer savvy. Plus its portable, and with the new OS, it's a nice little machine.

Peace1

^^^I agree.. Don't play into that "you'll grow out of the 1k" thing.. Since you already got a computer then your good.. But since you don't want one then i would suggest trying out the xl or the 2500 to see if they fit your needs..

thanx for the advice...................altho i've read quite a bit on both and think i'll buy the 2500

gonna go get a demo of it soon before i buy
