confused, lost,and stressed but will keep my composure

i just bought the 2500 to learn how to make beats by scratch and it didn't take but 4 hours to learn it. where in the hell can i get some piano sounds synth, guitar and some drums that sound good or at least ok...any sites i can go to to find these sounds and how would i load them usb to my mpc 2500. with no problem...i try to keep things simple.any sites or ways i can get the job done and find these sounds.I already know how to sample from records. i just need help.if u can step by step.

Hello.

I presume you are on about freebies? Just search google there are tons of free sites out there, probably search here too as Im sure that it must of been raised before.

If you are after pro $$ samples then again there are many sites out (including this one!!!) which'll take your dollarz.
EDIT:
Sorry - I didn't fully read you post. If you download WAV files the MPC will recognise these.
USB - is in the manual - make sure you disconnect the hardware under windows before you unmount it in the MPC load screen.

4 hours huh? And now you're a selfproclaimed king at it? It takes a lot of making/practice to actually handling the mpc at an efficient level though.
I advice you to find some freebies and tweak to your liking. After a while you'll probably want better/sweeter sounds to work with and then you can go and blow some dough on it.

i think the different instrument sets on this forum are worth a shot, ive purchased the tutorial and the producer drum pack and i wasnt disappointed ive paid and lot more for kits and sample cd,s that were totally usless. i will likely be buying the piano and one of bass sets within the next 2 weeks so i can make use of my midicontroller. i ended up creating my own kits from the pro. pack and there were plenty nice drums to choose from. and no im not affiliated with the people who sell the sets i just know its alot of useless kits being sold out there for example some the one,s they sell at guitar center would likely have you asking for a refund

why dont you go diggin some raw piano/bass samples from vinyl and use those.

Try searching these forums for free sounds or free kits or whatever, there are a lot of links that others have posted that you can download free sounds from. Search between here and the 1000 forum, oh and the 500 too.

it took me four hours of real concentration to get the basis understanding and wanting to learn badly-spending 2,500 cash with the two year servive aggreement through guitar center.i figured itll come with some sounds with it.like drums pianos guitars.horns synth clear with quaility sounds u know of any drums and sounds any links if have to buy them ill do what i got to do-just dont want to buy no bu;;;shh;; i dont want to be mad just because i spent money on them i dont like wasting time.. i want to get on with it.
.. quality not quantity... unusual sound ill get from records.u feel me....

id go through the mixer so you can control the ranges, but you should experiment as a producer
