Newbies

Before posting a question, please use the search function on these forums - you'll find that many of your questions have already been answered - and regulars start getting grumpy if you ask them again...

The search box is here

http://www.mpc-forums.com/search.php

Using the search box is easy - just read the instructions next to the box (on the left hand side). For example, to search for 'shift timing', enter the following:

shift AND timing

This will search for that exact phrase. Leaving out the 'AND' will search for every occrance of 'shift' and every occurance of 'timing' - i.e. you'll get too many duff results.

Dont forget the MPC manual. It may not be the best, but it should be able to answer most of our questions - regulars will not respond positively if they feel you are just being lazy and expecting them to do all the work for you!


Now with that said, there really is no reason for us so-called experts/regulars to get grumpy or respond negatively to newbies. No one is forced to read or respond to anything. If you don't want to help someone, than don't. Why bother writing "Use search or read the manual"? (unless you are a moderator). Threads will only turn into what this one has become ??? And yes, I am guilty of turning some threads into topics that have nothing to do with MPCs...but I never respond to a thread just to tell someone to read the manual.

All i've got left to say is u didn't post a tip... u posted a basic function of the MPC and made it seem like it was some secret function! And once again, there u go with the "I'm the big producer that has hits on billboard" talk. What have i done lately? Haven't made any hit tracks that registered on any chart... but i'm cool with that. But since u turned a hill into a mountain about pad 15 i guess it's true that if you put a couple monkeys in a room with a MPC... they'll make a platinum album.

And it's funny how the newbie cosigns like he said something. Why are u riding the nuts of some supposed Maestro u don't even know?

Anyways, no beef! I would just like to see more post that are relevent.

I can't believe this one is still going. I made it seem like a secret function. Actually special powers I wrote. Obvious joke but appreciated the tip(AKA basic function but didn't read it in the manual yet because I know alot of the functions already having owned a 2000xl and would rather make music than read the manual because the knowledge I have of the 2500 is enough to make music without reading the manual). 3 pages of nonsense now. Oh man, look what you made me do. I've contributed :oops:







Love thy neighbor as yourself....m*therf*ckers :D

This is the most condesending forum I've ever came across on the internet. The most talented people I know don't live by the word's of the manuels anyway. If you think that knowing everything makes you a better producer you are sadly mistakin.



Isn't it funny how the 3 of u only joined this site a couple months ago... I take it that all of u are new to this and would love for everyone to tell u the basics cause you're too lazy to learn them on your own.

Whenever u new guys LEARN the BASICS and have a REAL QUESTION about something the manual doesn't say (i.e. techniques, tricks, style) come holla at me!


and does it really matter if i just joined the forum?, my primary purpose for joining here was to exchange knowledge with interested people. I am far from new to this, dude. billboard can back me up on that. matter of fact, since you're from philly, ask dre and vidal, or omilio sparks, they can vouch for my production skills.... sooooo, with all the techniques, tricks, and style that you have, what was the last major placement that you've had?

I've been a member for a couple years or so. So, I'm not new here and I must admit that is the one frustation that I have here. Some of the members get real salty about some questions that are asked. Granted, I have seen some questions that were pretty ridiculous to ask. I definitely believe in reading the manual but, sometimes you still don't understand it.
