Hi. I'm new and want to get into beat production.

[Les Braun]

Yo, this is 8BIT representing Switzerland. I came across this forum while looking for porn. I want to do beats like MF DOOM or Dilla do/did yo. Like sampling vinyl and shit. What do I need? I know they both used MPC's, but I heard Roland makes good samplers, too, so I was planning on getting an SP-404. And I have a TT with a mixer, but not many records(I'll be buying them though). Would I need anything else? Thanks in advance, guys.

yeah man records, turntable, and SP404 is a nice basic setup. You can get a recorder or just record directly into the computer.

[Les Braun]

Cool beans. Can you recommend any cheap recorders, or can you explain to me how I record directly to the computer?

[balazs]

the boss BR series are good digital recorders. You can also hook your sp404 to your computer and download free recording software like audacity.

[Les Braun]

Ok, so I'm guessing the SP comes with a usb cable? That's cool because I ALREADY HAVE AUDACITY.

[balazs]

I dont think you can put a beat on the computer with the 404 and usb.
You can hook it to the computer and record the audio using a cable like this

[Les Braun]

Awesome, I used that cable to connect my iPod to my mixer. Good...do I need anything else? You've been a great help, by the way. If there were a rep button, I would've repped you.
