Hi, people...to whom may care.
I've just recently purchased an mpd 24, with I guess little knowledge on midi, and midi hardware. So i buy the machine, using it with Battery 3. Using battery 3 as a plug in, in Logic 7 (yes i know im behind, i accidentally bought an academic version ) It all seems to be fine in regards to getting sound through battery on the machine. both as a plug in and stand alone

I do need to ask though, when making beats whats the method, or process one should take when making a beat thats perfectly in time etc...
I can play the mpd in logic live, writing the notes on an instrument track etc... then trying to quantize. it just doesn't seem right? plus how do i layer my samples on the mpd pads...

Can any one tell me some basic step by step ways of making tunes with the soft/hardware ive mentioned? ive watched the battery 3 videos, they dont help to much. and ive watched videos on youtube on the mpd. . . not alot of info out there...

Seriously good info in there. Sounds like you are a bit of a beginner. Do some research and reading of the manuals. Especially the MPD, Battery and Logic manuals.
