Where is there no forum set up to discuss the fine are of sampling alone? You know, techniques, gear, sources, secrets, whatever. I guess that it could go hand in hand with a lot of things here but I feel that it is something that could use some "special" attention!
Just a thought,

Can any sampling "experts" or aficianados in here tell this novice how one goes about sampling, for instance, the drum parts of a song from a CD (input from a CD player) without the sounds of other instruments/voices in the song mix getting into the sample (i.e., isolating the drum parts)? Does this require a particular kind of gear (or software)? Many advance thanks for your advice.

To preface this question: let it be known that although I am not totally clueless about what goes on in the "DJ" world, I am still in the dark on some of it - and most "DJs" I know, don't focus on clarity.

I have been having to sample a lot off of vinyl lately, usually 12". Most often with a tech 1200 or 1210, with a Shure or ortofon cartridge.

Sorry, I can't let it drop.

ASRX-Pro vs MPC 2000XL

If anyone has used either one of these sampling drum machines or BOTH of them, your reply is very much appreciated.

Just looking for some positive feedback to push me over that last hurdle and make a purchase.
