damn, that’s some fast ass hand control, wasn’t expecting that b…good shit
i see alot of people buy records and use them to sample stuff from them and then make a beat. my question is: is it possible to sample from mp3, to chop what you like and then load it into the mpc?
thats exactly what i do, i use a wave editing program called goldwave and chop up mp3s and or wav files. u can zoom in really far and chop it perfectly where u want it to avoid pop sounds. try it out.
very very nice
if u use mp3′s why didnt u just use a mpd/midi controller with software? im not questioning u using the mpc. im thinking of getting a 1000 myself because ive been using fl for awhile. im just wondering the benefit of using an mpc with mp3′s over an mpd. let me know wats up. thanks
i like the freedom that comes from using the mpc. i started out as a drummer and with the mpc i can really feel the rythym so to speak. i have trouble drawing out drum and melody patters my beats dont sound as good. its all a matter of preference, but i couldnt do the kind of stuf u see in the videos without an mpc.
thanks my man. best answer ive ever got regarding my question. ppl tend to get technical n shit. well im convinced. good lookin out. one more question. how much do the 1000′s go for? ive researched and seen a bunch of prices
a brand new one goes for about $1000, i got mine on ebay for $600, u really want to get one that has the expanded RAM which is 156MB i think but not sure. that way u can load a lot more stuff at one time. u also gotta get a good sized memory card (CF card) so u can put a shit load of samples on that thing. if u have the money, get the 2500 its amazing i wish i had one.
good lookin on the info. its guna be my first mp so ima buy the 1000.. i dnt have much cash for the 2500
careful when you sit like that i’ve lost sick ass beats cause the power cable came a little loose
genius!!
This is the way beats are supposed to be made! Great job man you have skills!! Skillses even!
nice work!
Amazing! I wish I was that talented like that.
cool
big ups, do dodo dodo do dodo, DO DODO DODO DO DO…
nice dude
Seriously, fucking AWESOME man!
Stupid question though, I’ve been playing around in differrent programs and made beats…And looking at a MPC, any good way to try out the basic of keypushing on a program for the PC? =)
Peace!
@cpepe15 u can use software with a lot of different controllers like a midi keyboard or an mpd. i used software for about 6 years. 3 of it with a midi controller. its nice and i like it. now i got a 1000 and i absolutely love it. the benefit is the overall feel of that machine. its rock solid and its all in one. u can transport it and it has a really good sound. i would never give it away. its ma baby. but u better use with the jjos software. i got the os2 xl. with that its one hell of a machine
@Moemors i got the OS1 just so i could keep my old programs. i also got the pad sensor upgrade which is a MUST. u get so much more feel and it doesnt take that long to put in at all. i knew i had to get it once i fucked around on a 2500 for a while. those have amazingly sensitive pads and the pad upgrade for the 1000 gives u that although not quite as nice, but much better than the old pads.
wow
very very very good! keep this up your a natural
FUCKIN SICK MY MAN OMG!!!
RIDICULOUS!!!!!!!
Damn man that was intense, I love it, What’s the name of the Lou Reed song??
