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:

wait why do you need to stay away from your computer, i dont have a record player so im always just digging on youtube for old stuff whats wrong with that, and i started out using drum kits untill i learned how to sample drums i dont see a problem with babysteps?

yeah exactly im basically working with drum loops and adding effects with the 404, and then trying to match something up with that. im not getting too far with the it yet, but its pretty fun!
