    Why does everyone use the MPC series?

    Hey, Can't you resample your samples internally in the MPC2000 as 8 bit 22.025khz files? That will sound even DIRTIER than the 1200. Nick

    vinyl sound!!!!!!!!!

    Hey, I checked out the Fusion:Vinyl plugin at Opcode's site: http://www.opcode.com/products/fusion_vinyl/f_001.shtml#F_003 It does look very cool, it does everything mentioned for Cool Edit, like reducing bandwidth and squashing dynamics. Plus it can be run as a DX or VST effect...

    Commentary on two albums

    Fade, I've been into electronic music for a long time now, mainly techno/trance stuff, and a friend of mine who is into hip hop has asked me to make an attempt at recording a hip hop album. I've got a studio at home with all the usual gear, both types of music basically use the same stuff to...

    Why does everyone use the MPC series?

    Hey, The SP 1200 was made by EMU (the guys who brought you the Emulator, the world's first affordable sampler after the Fairlight was released in the late 70's), it was a 12 bit samper with a step-time sequencer much like the MPC2000, its production ran from '87 until '97, you can get details...

    Why does everyone use the MPC series?

    Hey, I'll have to play with one to see what the charm is. I couldn't imagine ever using one in a studio environment where you have access to a mouse, keyboard and 19" monitor, you absolutely cannot beat the power of a computer and software. What I can imagine doing with such a machine is...

    Commentary on two albums

    Hey, A friend of mine came round with two albums I had never heard before, Ludacris' Word of Mouf, and Cam'ron's Come Home with Me. Ludacris: Boring. His last album had Southern Hospitality which had that cool hoover sound running around in the background and great rythm, none of the...

    Hey, You can use a wave editor like Cool Edit to do this: 1. Load the sound you want to 'vinylize'. 2. Go to Edit>Convert sample type. 3. Choose mono, Left 50% Right 50%, hit ok. 4. Go to Effects>Filters and remove some of the low end, around 150hz, and remove some off the high end...

    Recording Turntables

    Hey, Most turntables require that you plug them into a turntable pre-amp to convert it to a line-level signal. Dj mixers have these preamps in them, if you have one make sure to plug it into the mixer and plug the outputs of the mixer into the line-in on your soundcard. Nick

    Why does everyone use the MPC series?

    Hey, Why exactly is it that all hip hop producers feel the need to use the MPC series sampling sequencers? There are tons of options out there that are significantly cheaper and more powerful. Take care, Nick

    Battery vs. MPC

    Hey, The MPC is a combination hardware sampler/midi sequencer/pad controller. Battery, to my knowledge, is a software drum machine emulator. Obviously it lacks the controller, and I'm sure that without an ASIO soundcard it doesn't work in real-time as well as an MPC would. It probably has...
