I been getting sounds from games every since like street fighter zero/alpha 3 on ps1..

Actually War of the Monsters on PS2 has been overclocking my Sound Forge lately. Straight slow deep orchestra stuff on there. Chop it up and make your own rythms..

yeah it's pretty easy also try this link. You may have to resample these to use them because I think they are 8 bit mono, but you can resample them into 16 bit stereo or mono. Personally I would keep them mono.

i dont know about anyone else, but i once linked up My Minidisc Input to the hedphones output on ma tv, cuz whatever you hear, will come out that output, regardless weather its T.V, DVD or VCR! but the quality is not amazing! but hey, if you looking to produce Wu Tang type stuff, a bit of crackling and hissing over that well loved 'movie qoute' is never a bad thing!


good luck mate

Why not run a 1/8 to 1/4 cable from your computer 's soundcard straight into the MPC? I'm assuming you guys are talking about movies/DVDs right. I use to download from kaza videos and sample what I needed and be done with it.

thanks for the link. also helpfull: http://www.easyrecorder.com/

this lets you record any audio played by your soundcard as a wav file... so watch the dvd on your computer, when you get to the good part hit record, save as a wav, load in to the mpc, and you're done. no problem.

Going through the tv headphone jack will usually give you a crappy @$$ sound with hums...Does your TV have RCA inputs/outpus?
