I'm a total noob when it comes to the world of mixing and producing. That's why I made this user. I thought this site was also ment to give guidance and help to people new to this art. I quote from the FP site on FB "Futureproducers.com is a dynamic forum with over 286,000 music producers, DJs, and beat makers . You come to learn, stay to share." Not arguing with you, I'm just pointing out that I think it's wrong to give new users the impression that it's wrong to ask questions. Like I sai I'm new to this, so I don't know if your commandment "NOT ASK QUESTIONS LIKE......."I BROUGHT AN MPC AND A MIXER,,,HOW DO I HOOK THEM UP?" is an internal joke
Anyways, it's when you ask questions you find your answers

That "mpc" part didnt come from me, but i will address it anyway.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with asking questions....HOWEVER...I find it terribly amusing that people will come here and read through PAGES of posts to find the answer to a question when that answer could be found in the manual 99 out of 100 times. There is basic stuff that you just NEED TO KNOW before you get into this. Just like math may be a REQUIRED course if you major in Chemistry or Physics.... MIDI and CABLES are required knowledge if you plan on majoring in Music Production. I am all for sharing knowledge and helping people or I would not be here, but when someone asks a question like the one stated above it just tells me that that person really isnt taking this thing SERIOUSLY and just wants to be spoonfed because they are LAZY.
If I am going to tell you how to hook it UP, then I might as well tell you how to USE it....and if Im going to do that, then I might as well just MAKE YOUR BEATS FOR YOU....LOL.
Its like that old saying...GIVE A MAN A FISH, YOU FEED HIM FOR A DAY.....TEACH A MAN TO FISH, YOU FEED HIM FOR A LIFETIME....
If you cant learn how to research information and acquire knowledge ON YOU OWN....then you are already dead in the water my brother.....
PEACE

Where would i be able to find out info on MIDI and cables??

Specificlly what kind of information about Midi and Cables are you looking for? Check this out.
Midi: short for Musical Instrument Digital Interface.
MIDI, short for Musical Instrument Digital Interface, is the standard electronic language 'spoken' between electronic instruments and the computerized devices which control them during performances.
Developed in the early 1980s, MIDI technology allows a keyboardist to kick off a drum synthesizer with one key or a computer to store a sequence of composed notes as a MIDI file, for example. The keyboard, drum synthesizer and computer all recognize the same set of binary code instructions.
Before the development of the MIDI system, professional keyboardists would often need to set up towering banks of synthesizers, pianos, organs and other electronics in order to perform live. They would go from instrument to instrument in order to produce the necessary sounds. With the introduction of MIDI, these same musicians could connect all of the peripheral keyboards together with 5-pin DIN cables and control them all through one master keyboard. A synthesizer set for background strings, for example, could 'teach' another keyboard how to generate that sound through a MIDI connection.
MIDI technology is not restricted to musical synthesizers, however. It is not unusual to find other stage equipment, such as lighting banks, under the control of MIDI-compatible computers. Each light may be assigned a specific MIDI channel and turned on or off according to a master program. MIDI programs may also control effects pedals for guitarists or pre-recorded sequences to supplement the sound onstage.
MIDI files do not actually record the sound of the keyboard instrument, but rather record instructions on how to recreate that sound elsewhere. For instance, a keyboardist might play Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata on a MIDI-compatible synthesizer connected to a computer. The MIDI file would change each note into a series of 1s and 0s, similar to binary code language. The MIDI coding incorporates other aspects of the performance besides notes, including dynamics, note-bending and changes in key pressure.
If someone wanted to play that recorded version of the Moonlight Sonata on a different computer, the MIDI file would play exactly what the original keyboardist played on the original instrument. The sound reproduction qualities of the computer itself may present a problem. The computer's sound generation card might render a very weak-sounding version of the MIDI file, with some unpleasant electronic noises. Modern computers with advanced sound cards have eliminated many of these reproduction problems, but many people still associate MIDI files with a less-than-spectacular performance.
P.S.
I would have posted the Website but I haven't hit 20 posts yet.
