[JayPirat]

if youre not figuring it out for your self you will never learn....

[fabbeats]

Thank you , now I know what to do.....

[jimbob150555]

Couldnt you just download an mp3, useing a simple sound recorder (on most pc's), take a sample of a track, then drop it onto the MPC ??

How does the MPC connect to a PC - via USB ??

[iheartsedric]

nope... needs to be able to be converted by the MPC to an internal proprietary format...

and it records with audio outs.... 1/4"... doesn't connect to the PC, just the audio interface.

[StrosB4Hos]

1000/2500/5000 all have usb ports.. you can chop mp3s/wavs in a program like soundforge/audacity and dump them into the mpc. and chop them inside the mpc.. you also need a Compact Flash card to store your samples and drums on.. and you can also use a turntable like the other poster said..

[spex357]

The experiance was ruined by my 8mb BT broadband connection

[karlharleman]

LOL at tapeing the MPC to a cardboard box for angle!

[ColdFireBeats]

so i just got my mpc,so i have to get beats from a record or instrutmental just to play a kick or a drum,so there is no drums programed in the mpc,i got it from

a friend so i dont no if i can with a disk with beats i need a answer

[aceofhiphop23]

depending on what mpc u got, chances are you u dont have any sounds. What you need is a turntable for you to sample of records or mp3's. I think since most of music is literally in cd n mp3 format, the turntable most suitable for sampling would be the CDX.

check it out.

[WOWTODAZ]

o i understand already

[WOWTODAZ]

but how connect the mpc to the turntable?

[aceofhiphop23]

you need a DJ mxer to send the signal from the turntable to the mpc. its like your mediator if you will. its a must.

[FrenchBeatz]

Why not just buy a turntable preamp?

[justsid]

this was helpful, really. what most of these cats are saying on youtube are a jamble of different things. it's all about their preamps, their equipment..this is so much more thorough and basic. thanks.
