could this make hip hop beats?

It can. The kick drum can provide rediculously low pitched sub bass. It can also be controlled via midi capable DAW's like ableton for more complex sequencing then the onboard 16 step sequencer can provide. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zy0dLTCTNl0 this video illustrates it being used to make a modern "trap" style hiphop beat.

Thats depends on the complexity and the kind of music you are thinking. This machine was planned to be as a beat maker, so you can make a complete song with its on built 3 part sequencer. Obviously its better for hiphop related music, but still found very useful for a vast range of music styles. Very good for entry level, even medium range. No sampling functionality, but still good enough pre loaded high quality samples, cover almost any musical style (but again, better for hiphop). Anyway its a sequencer monster with midi capabilities, so you are able to control midi modules and sound generators.

Only if it somehow utilizes stereo jacks to do so, like a footswitch input for electronic drum hi hats. Most likely you want a midi toggle switch of some sort.

It can be use as a drum machine yes. It depend of the kind of software you are using. For my self i use it to do light's effect in a nightclub.

Sure. Obviously you won't have as many options for good sounds. But yeah. See if you can demo it first.

You will need a stereo or a dj midi mixing console. Something that has rca outputs to.transmit the signal. I own 2 of these and they are alot louder than i thought. Very clean sound and well bilt. I qould recommend them if you do mobile djing or home entertainment

you may need a mixer, but u could overdub, and listen to your original track with head phones without a mixer

Certainly you can as with any device that sends to DAW or similar external hardware. It's musical signal can easily be incorporated into a mix and further tweaked.

No, because it only a midi controller. If you using a laptop with sound then yes

Yes, it sounds great but I would suggest tweaking audio in Pro Tools or Logic Pro for optimal audio. Final Cut Pro has some audio enhancements that work pretty well, but you're limited on the control you have.

Sure man, you can use it with any DAW (like Logic, Pro Tools, etc) or as a stand alone program.

No. This is just a midi keyboard that you can use to trigger sounds. You will need a DAW program as well to use this such as Logic Pro or Reason.

Sure they can.They are a lil bit bass heavy which is great for DJ-ing and beatmatching, but i use them for regular listening a lot!

Yes, but if you want to record you need Virtual DJ Full Software. If you want to mix tracks you need 2 soundcards (1 internal -Default- and another one that could be internal or external -USB kind-). Great product!!! Good luck!

I have it running through a Mackie powered mixer and that is the best way so that you can adjust the settings for the beat sound. microphone cables bought separately.

yes you can manipulate samples or beats !!!.... and yes you can chop or cut the beat/sample as well.... and the mpc 2000Xl is older and there is a lot of different updates that you can do on this product.... basicly anything you can do one there, you can do on here and a lot more

I would say no. Because I believe it would not cut through the drums and other mix. If you use a mic and run it through the PA, then yes.
