r there really advantages in mpc 2500 over pc software?
Personally, i use to use a lot of out board gear. Drum machines, synths, samplers .
Like many others, I was suckered into the whole software thing.. Sure, software is more convenient. Saving, loading etc… But power and convenience comes at a cost. Sure, we have literally thousands of software options to choose from but that in it self causes a sense of confusion not to mention that in fact it can at times be counter productive as it leaves us with waaayyy to many options.
I think it tends to get in the way of creativity.
In my opinion external gear sounds and feels much more solid. What do I mean by this?
Hmm I could go on forever about this subject…. One example of this would be.. Akai mpcs and drum machines have rock solid timing! Pcs feel kind of loose and sloppy.
cool man i think the same way, althogh im new at dis n have never work on a software,
this guy doesnt know sheet about sheet. search supreme dvd and that dude can show you some mpc action
PC is a LOT more capable
so is that really and advantage? n is an mpc 1000 compatible with any recording software? like can i transfer my sequence to a pc and then edit sum more in my pc using sum kind of software? n if i can which 1 would u recomend?
ok, i dont know if this has been cleared up in your mind yet, but get the mpc, i’ve had mine for a year and a half now… and yeah, its true the pc is more capable, but the fact is that most pc beats have a generic sound to them… just look at 90 percent of fruity loops beats versus mpc beats. if you don’t know who he is, i suggest you search boon doc on youtube, he will make you see the power of an mpc (and hardware in general)
cool i’ll check him out
i sold my mpc 2500,i get better results in cubase!!but if i havent had the mpc first i wouldent know what real drums are lol
dayuum nigga u sound like eminem.
i recommend jjos 5.41 ,,, it is alott faster and more user friendly ,,,
you mean more user friendly, not capable.
Your Sample was used by: Beginner-City Blues
MPC is a LOT more fun
do i need a computer program to run mpc 2500 if so what is the best program
dude you sound like eminem
perfect 5 stars right to the point
mpc’s can be used with any softrwear it has a usb connection in the back ov it
nah its a stand alone music production station. u might need a computer to get ur tracks onto cd though. and to load samples onto ur flashcard via usb.
after I do this, I record my own loop of a sample that I chopped and assigned to 8 pads… then when I try to layer drums over what I just recorded, every time I hit a pad, the sample playing cuts out… I know it has to do with MONO & POLY, but either way it fucks up… I can either lay the drums with the sample on POLY overlapping, or have the sample on MONO and have it cut out when I hit another pad…. what do I have to do to just play the sample loop and make drums over it?
That probably is Eminem…LMAO…or he is from 8 mile, he probably lived next door to Eminem…LMAO
I use: MIDI Keyboard + MPC 2500 + Reason 4
You can use Reason 4 as a soundmodule and the MPC as the sequencer. But how can i still use Reason 4 as the sequencer / soundmodule???
this original sample is taken from Ennio Morricone
lolll
@123Bastardo did you ever figure out how to use Reason as the sound module?
