nothing to really be confused about, if you are listening to a record and hear something unique doesnt matter what it is,it could be somebody farting in the background of the track but if you liked it (dont know why you would) take it by all means and flip it find a way to use it in your track there are no rules when it comes to sampling it can be done with whatever is on that vinyl how you use it is what matters.

theres no way to completely split the 2 some of the frequency's in a persons voice are shared with the instruments on the track but messing around with eq's amognst other things you can get the instruments low enough to lay your drums or other samples over the vocals. Sound forge and or cool edit pro are 2 good apps, there are alot other too. check out

if you got some spare money go cop one of the mpcs

4k,2kxl,1k

But it looks like you have alot more learning to do before you go investing in deeper, up to you ultimately, mpcs are def fun to work and learn on, and quite simple so you can grasp certain concepts easier

Reason is also a good program to learn on

Just make sure you buy it and don't download some cracked version. Software developers need to eat too.

You don't NEED to upgrade to a more expensive MPC, it's optional. I been on the MPC2000 non XL for almost five years now, and every now and then I feel the urge to move on to a newer or older one, and I stay faithful and just update my production formulas. It's a matter of preference, you have options of either keeping the same equipment and working your way around it's limitations OR upgrading to a newer piece of equipment and explore it's newer features that it presents that you have to learn now, OR downgrading to older equipment for it's simplicity and challenging yourself to create with less technology. Hope that helps your decision a bit...
