MPC 1000

This fucking thing is so hard to use. I finally had enough time to really sit down and figure it out. This is what I got so far.

Can someone please explain to me how you record a beat, play over it, record that and so on..? The instruction manual is annoying as fuck. I have no patience for that shit right now..

Fuckin ay it took forever for me to learn it. The best thing i did was buy Native Instruments Battery 3 and got a cheap Roland MIDI to USB connector. That way i can chop up samples in Audacity and basically drag and drop them into Battery 3. Then i record it back through the computer on audacity and build the track from intro to end. Its the cheapest and easiest way for me and still sounds good. Check some tutorial vids there are a few around on youtube...

Thanks for the feedback, dude. I'm catching on quick. I spent like 6 hours this weekend just reading the manual and fuckin' with this p.o.s. I've been using Sony SoundForge to cut up samples and shit. Seems to be working pretty well. I can work a lot quicker on a PC than this MPC. Makes life easier.

I'm taking this video down because I'm embarrassed of it. LOL. I'll post something else I did. Things are way better when you know wtf you're doing. LOL.

I chop samples mostly on a computer then throw them onto the MPC. I can fine tune the chops easier on a PC.

You can plug directly into the MPC and record something, then assign it to the pads, is that what you were wanting to do? I can't remember the steps. I'm not at home and haven't used my MPC in a while. I can look at it later and be more specific if you need me to .

I think it also helps to keep 1 sample per track.

dude, it may not seem like it but your post opened up a whole new way of thinking about this shit. Thanks, dude.

If you are using the PC to chop your samples, try looking at Bluebox program. It is a free program which lets you map out the samples on the pads on your computer, then you can hook up your MPC and "save all" the program and it is is saved just like you had on PC. It speeds up things quite a bit for me.
