    I would say get the mpc 2000xl, 3000, or 4000. The 1000 and 2000 aren't that great. You could get the 60, but I wouldn't suggest that. The quality isn't always the best in it. Get a Turntable and buy a bunch of records. You can usually find a shop that will sell records for $1 or so. Then get emule and download all the akai sample cd's you can. Get Reason and Sampletank. Then on emule download all the refills and Gigastudio sample cd's you can find. You won't have to worry bout sounds then. I have reason and I have 30gb's of refills. I don't have Sampletank, but I'm hopin someone on this site could hook me up wit that. The Gigastudio Sample cd's will work through sampletank 2.

    Now you hook up you mpc to your pc through midi. You can have your recording program control everything so that everything plays in time together. You use your mpc for samplin the records and for triggering the sounds on sampletank, and reason. You should also get a keyboard. All that will be a good setup for you, and you won't have to spend that much money as long as you know where to d/l everything. You could get fruityloops, but I'm not that big on fruityloops like everyone here is. If you're more into the grimy style of music that uses strings, and pianos I would seriously suggest using reason, but you can get good songs made out of fruityloops. I could suggest a lot of other things, but I think that's enough for you to think of for the moment.

    You can check out the charlemagne video tutorial posted in the forum to see how his setup works wit the mpc2000. You can also check out Boola's beat video too. He uses an mpc3000. His setup is more basic and he still gets out good music. He's all hardware based where charlemagne combines hardware and software. You can also go to todaysbeats.com and watch the video tutorials he has on there. He is completely software based besides his keyboard. Then choose what kind of setup you'd like to have from that.

    it depends on your connection, and emule is the place that has the rarest files posted. How you think I ended up wit 30gigs of reason refills. all d/l'd off of emule. I have a bunch of akai sample cd's from there too.
