Basic Sampling Setup Help?

[thaprecepta]

Alright so I'm thinking of saving up for an MPC2500 and I already have two technic sl 1200s so I can sample records into the mpc. If I do get the mpc2500, what do I need to buy in order to be able to create, master, and burn full instrumental tracks? I know you can save to mem stick w/ the 2500 so if I made a beat on it and saved it and opened it with Cubase or somethin and mastered it there would I be good?

Things I Need:
Turntables (got it)
MPC2500
2 Monitors
Cables

can you guys add anything to this list? would I need a 8/16 track recorder? or an mbox or whatever the fuck you need to hook up an mpc directly to pc (i think the mpc2500 can directly connect thru usb tho)? thanks

Check my blog for more indepth info. But you def wanna add an audio interface(soundcard) to track your beats from the mpc2500 to the pc. Though you can resample in the mpc2500(128mb expansion installed) you come out better just recording each track to a daw. So go with the following:

Basics
MPC2500
MIDI Cables/Audio Cables
Audio Interface
Monitors/Headphones
Turntable
