What route should I take?
I am 16 and and aspiring hip-hop and R&B producer, I know a lot of old and rare music and I want to get into sampling. My influences include 9th Wonder, DJ Premier, J.Dilla, Just Blaze, Kanye West, 88 Keys and many others. My question is should I use FL Studio or should I save up the money to purchase an MPC-1000 and go cratedigging and buy vinyl records? And also which one do you think is easier to pick up and learn? Thank you ahead of time for your advice.

Don’t buy an MPC yet.. they’re too expensive. Find a full copy of FL Studio and get an MPD. An MPD is almost like an MPC. The only difference is that it requires a program in order to be used. You can chop up samples, make drum beats, etc all on the MPD. You can get one from anywhere within $100 – $300. If you have any other questions, email me.

I’d say start out with FL Studio, the Producer Edition will do fine for sampling. It’s relatively much cheaper and if you decide to get an MPC later you can still hook it up to FL Studio and combine the both for your productions (the MPC can be used as a controller, and you can let FL Studio play stuff on the MPC).
Or, combine FL Studio with NI Maschine to get a similar hardware controller with great pads and software that will let you sample (and do pretty much everything else) on the controller as if it was an MPC!
More info on the Maschine:
I use both Ableton Live and FL Studio Producer Edition for my electronic music, but 99% of the time it’s just FL Studio. It just has the best work flow for me.
In case you end up getting FL Studio, you can get 10% discount on your first order from image-line with this promo link for new customers:
It’s worth every penny IMHO.
Good luck and have fun!

It strikes me as poor journalism for any author to rely on his memory rather than–gasp—check his facts… Give me a break. I guess citing his memory has one advantage, it allows Dylan to needlessly insert himself into the article.tera gold

Except Obama took over in Jan 2009, Geithner after that, and the article talks only about 2008.tera gold
