Jul 15, 2007 10:35 pm you need something to play your samples into the mpc, many people use turntables, but it's going to depend on what you use for samples...
after that, you only need the mpc to bang out some beats. what else you need depends on what you want to do after you make a beat.
Jul 17, 2007 12:31 pm Well..I plan on sampling like some 70's soul for the most part..and when im done with the beat..I plan on uploading it..To the computer..if thats what u meant...So to sample vinyl i would need a turntable..anything else i might need besides the MPC??
Jul 17, 2007 12:39 pm to sample vinyl you would need a turntable, an mpc, and a cable that connects the turntable to the mpc.
as a note, you may need to get drum samples from another source other than vinyl unless you have an extensive collection, as drum breaks aren't always easy to find.
Jul 17, 2007 07:20 pm Thank You..Do u have any suggestions on where i can find good quality d rum samples??
Jul 18, 2007 12:05 pm i'm not sure if they still do this, but you might check on ebay and look for stuff like kanyes drum kits or neptunes drum kits or premiers drums or something along those lines. Usually will send a cd rom or dvd rom of drum samples. Otherwise, maybe you can try googling free drum samples and see what you can pull. You will have to find a way to get the drum samples from your pc to you mpc though. Also i have a friend who likes to use an audio cd called guerrilla funk drums (i think). It's a bunch of drum breaks, but you can chop up the breaks into their individual drum hits so you can control each type of drum on seperate mpc pads.
Jul 18, 2007 06:15 pm You can also try Smart Loops, PowerFX, Zero G, and several other places for some killer drum samples and loops.
As for the turntable, don't forget to use a pre amplifier made for use with turntables. In a pinch you can use a cheap DJ mixer which will give you 2 pre amps already built into it.
Jul 20, 2007 01:20 pm I plan on sampling using Vinyl..but is there a way i could sample CD's 2??
Jul 20, 2007 01:41 pm Oh and one more thing...Do i need like a Yamaha Motif Rack??..I saw Just Blaze with it..What is it exactly??
Jul 20, 2007 01:59 pm Not positive, but I think it is a rack mount sound module, which means it has the motif keyboard sounds, but without the keyboard.
Jul 20, 2007 05:54 pm Oh ok..Thanks..So do u think i could upload those sounds into the MPC???
