WADDUP EVERYONE. IM GETTIN AN MPC1000, 49 NOTE MIDI KEYBOARD, AMPS, SPEAKERS AND SUBWOOFER TOMOROW. THIS IS GOING TO BE MY SETUP. MY MPC WILL BE THE MASTER AND THE MIDI THE SLAVE. I GOT 2 QUESTIONS FOR YALL:
1) IM REALLY NOT INTO THE WHOLE SOFTWARE THING. I BASICALLY JUST WANT TO USE THE MPC TOGETHER WITH MY MIDI KEYBOARD. PRO'S AND CONS?
2) HOW DO I GET SAMPLES (FROM MOVIES, MUSIC ALBUMS ETC) ONTO MY MPC JUST BY USING A LAPTOP WITHOUT ANY MUSIC SOFTWARE ON IT (SUCH AS FL, PROTOOLS)? DO THESE SAMPLES ALWAYS HAVE TO BE IN .WAV FORMAT? DO I DRAG AND DROP USING THE USB? I KNOW THERE ARE WEBSITES THAT SELL ROYALTY FREE DRUM KITS ETC.... NOT TOO SURE ABOUT THESE. SUGGESTIONS?
3) DOES STUFF I DO ON THE MPC AUTOSAVE OR DO I HAVE TO ALWAYS PRESS THE ''RECORD'' BUTTON FOR MY PROGRESS TO SAVE?
THESE QUESTIONS ALL MIGHT SEEM DUMB BUT WE ALL GOTTA START SOMEWHERE RIGHT?
THANKS AGAIN
