Can't really help you with sounds... I only use my MPC2000XL for drums and I have my own samples for that

Go buy records and start digging for sounds... it's the core to producing sample based hip hop. Find your sound!

A good starting point for sounds (for the lazy ones!)

The easiest way to get tracks in your G5 is to transfer them through the analog outs.

there are a few sites out there that are a little more geared towards that kind of topic (mpcfoums.com, ughh.com, etc...)
as for how to get sounds... it's a sampler... sample 'em.

O.K. I have a few records lying around so the question is how do you get the best sound quality going in to the Mpc so that the samples don't sound too muddy and how do you get your samples to loop in sync with the song tempo for instance an old jazz record that was recorded at say 68 bpm and I'm recording at 99?
