I would say learn your machine like recording, resampling, how to sample in lofi, basically all the basics/functions of the machine. Then I would suggest you learn how to create a basic pattern sequence and learn about quantization. once you get that down you can start doing your thing. (assuming you're new to making beats)

The 404 is hungry!!

If money is an issue, i've just got 5 tapes and 2 12"s from a charity shop for £3.50. like others have said, raid your nan's house or ask your parents, they got mad records trust me :wink:
