TIPS FOR SOUNDING "BIGGER" ON A BUDGET
IMHO I wouldn't recommend spending more cash. Do some research on good recording/mixing/engineering, there's a ton of good material online, including here. Try running your beats through a limiter/compressor, make them louder, A/B them against some other tracks. Nowadays, most of what you... -
technical problem
Get a small digital out (coaxial or optical) box for your laptop, take the output and plug it into a minidisk or digital mixer to play back your PC sounds.... Should be way cleaner than analog. That jack picks up a lot of noise from the computer... You could also open it up and soundproof... -
MPC 2000 and ZIP Problem
Hey man, I'm gonna try to help: - is the load screen of the MPC showing the little picture of the zip drive, does it see it, does it know it's there? That will help determine if it's the MP or the drive. If you can get another scsi drive (CDRom, Jaz, zip, anything) that may also let you... -
sampling from a turntable
What up, You can: - first, try a new or different cable. to connect the MP to the Turntable, see if anything changes, if not, then it's not the cable. - second, try some contact spray, spray it on the plug of the cable, push it in and out, this may loosen some of the grime inside the... -
What will beats sound like in 2009?
We have: the sample (Primo, Pete Rock) vs the synth (Timbaland, Neptunes) vs the live (the Roots). We also have the mix of all of the above (Kanye West, Dre). All hot, some more legal than others, some require less gear, some require more training to pull off, anyone have any predictions if... -
"skills to build" and "what to/how to practice"
tap beats on things Feel your beats, tap em out on a desk, tap em on the dashboard while you're driving. Feel those hats, that shit sounds good even on an AM radio. A couple of real world choices to make some of your own tracks: - grab a free copy of the fruity loops demo, start pointing... -
Filtering
Hey Bourban A filter is like a super strong eq. But instead of turning only the bass or treble up or down, it removes everything higher or lower than the bass (or the treble). So you can be listening to a song where you like the bass, but not the guitar, run a filter over it and remove the... -
I Dont Use Midi. I Got A Couple Of Questions.
Hey Helix, Yeah, Midi is just info. You press a key on your synthesizer, it sends info to your sequencer (computer or MPC). Your sequencer takes this info and sends it back out to the same synth, or another synth. So question 1. Yup - you need a mixer to run all of that gear. Question... -
hard hittin bass sounds
Pete Rock basslines Hey Exampul one, Talking about Pete Rock, alot of his basses are sampled from old Funk records. You can probably find some old funk tracks on vinyl compilations or on the net, run a low pass filter on them, and you'd be surprised at some of the nice basslines you can... -

getting samples onto the mpc
Werd, All you need to do is reverse it. Once you have made your beat in the MPC, just go audio out of the MPC (left and right 1/4") into the audio in (1/8" stereo) of the computer. Record the audio into Cubase. Hit save. Burn to CD. drop a line if you need any more info. Easy Dahkter -
getting samples onto the mpc
need more info Hey lilhatedon There's really a hundred ways to do it, it depends on what software you have and what it is you're trying to do. If you have samples in your computer, and they're too big to put on a floppy, just take the audio out of your computer and plug it into the audio in... -

MPC200XL setup
Hey Ike BD (interesting tag) To use the outs, you don't assign a track to an output, you assign a sound to an output. So, say you have a kick on pad A1: - go to mixer screen - press pad a1 - it'll be highlighted - go to the top of the channel strip and turn the knob to get it to say 1 or 5... -
How do I plug my sl1200 to sample on my mpc2000
Yeah, The missing link is a dj mixer. You can get a cheap gemini or vestax for 30 or 40 bucks, plug your turntable into the dj mixer, then plug the output of the dj mixer into the record input of the MPC. Now it's time to begin your sampling, good luck and happy diggin Easy Dahkter -
E-mu Sp1200
I've had one for about five years, I have a love hate thing goin on love: - the way it can take any sample recorded at 45, you slow it down and it's just sweet. Especially pitched up rhodes samples, wow - the sequencer swings, and it's got it's own sonic blueprint, you thow an SP beat over a... -

Lyrics wise it's a bit preachy, okay by me, but I prefer flow first, politics second... ALso - just caught there live show on MTV2 tonight...- dahkter
