    Technics SL 1200 MK2 or MK5?

    If someone offered you your choice of a brand new free mk2 or mk5 (you can only pick one), which one would you pick for sampling? If you dj, what would you pick for djin? Why? Since I found a mk5 for $50 more i might as well make an investment on it.

    MPC Style division w/ ReCycle

    Is there any way to chop a beat in recycle the way the MPC does by telling it you want 16 equal chops. It would be immensly useful w/ tempo changes and arrangement in general cuz everything would be equal quarter notes. Thanks

    Dubbing Over Samples Good or Bad?

    Is it a smart idea when releasing samples such as on myspace or sending them on a cd to an artist to record a voice over saying your name or some bs so they can't steal the beat or something? On myspace that stuffs streaming so I don't think that would be a concern but would it look...

    Why Sample From Records

    This may seem like a kinda dumb question but why do so many of the professional producers in the game sample from records? Why not use wav files from cds? Is it just because good music is from way back before cds or what?
