If he's a fake, I sure hope it ain't that Jwaaat kid (aka Nightmare) that uses 456856841036 different log-in names to match all of his multiple personalities. :lol:

i remember when i first got my mpc! i was so amped that i didnt even read the manual at first just started fooling with it then as i needed to do more I RTFM. i think you have to actually have beat making in your soul to begin with. Just getting a MPC cause ole boy got one and is making doe will bring you down roads such as this(not having a clue where to start) not trying to dis but some folk need to face facts, pack it up, and just get a good job invest start with a 401 k an plan for the future. YOU HAVE TO BE MUSICALLY INCLINED!

I just got my mpc 1000 from a friend. he included some samples and sounds in 2 cd's.
it brought a usb cable. and a flash card.
I'm super lost and don't know where to start. I tried messing with it and getting around the machine but with no luck. I also tried reading the manual and following directions on how to transfer my samples and sounds to my mpc using the usb cable. but the manual is speakin in terms I'm not too familiar with. I know if I learn I can really master this. is always at the beginning where things are a little rough. I'm very familiar with music and I have a passion for it unlike no other. all I need is someone to help me get to know all the little steps into get in started and working around the mpc 1000. so I'm beggin anybody who will take the time out and just spend less than an hour taking me step by step or just answer some of my questions. at the end of the day it'll be really impossible for me to learn all that there is too learn to get this thing up and running all by myself.

my aim screen name is "everything is 360"

and email is [email protected]

who ever is kind enough I will highly appreciate it with all my heart.
some of my main questions are...

1) how to transfer the samples and sounds succesfully to the mpc via usb cable.

2) how to start recordin and making the beats.

3) how to assing the samples and sounds to the corresponding pads.

thank you guys for your help and support.
god bless.

Focus.


Not to throw dude a loop but 1,2, and 3 are elementary i mean this stuff is in the manual and above the buttons.

1. if you can use a computer you can do this. hook the usb to you mp then to you pc then mode load or save, now copy & paste or drag.

2. get your idea down(this is where inclination comes in) then press play record, one bar count off then start creating events, hit or whatever.

3.hilite program hit window you will see some tabs pick the one that applies.

Im using the 1k. Oh yeah, Focus, in the future do mad research on your gear before you commit, check out some of the other topics on this forum, doing this will save you alot of doe and headaches. Goodluck, post up you first track over in your music!
