Welcome!

Welcome to the ILL!

 

[Spuntastic]

Welcome
what software are you using?

 

[d.fusion]

thx. atm im using fl stdio 9. want to switch to mpc soon

 

[thedreampolice]

Why?

 

[d.fusion]

because i want to 'touch' my music plus i feel, for the type of drums i want to use and the sound i want to achieve the mpc is the right choice for me...

 

[thedreampolice]

What mpc are you looking at?

 

[d.fusion]

2000xl

 

[thedreampolice]

Oh man I went the other way. Compared to fl the 2k is going to feel so sloooow to use. It takes forever to chop a sample in that thing. I would say if you must go mpc (mashchine is better imho) and you have a limited budget I would go with an mpc1000 over the 2k and then you can get jjos on it and rock!

I hate to sound like a Native Instruments fanboy, but: get Maschine!

 

[thedreampolice]

Yea maschine is the way to go these days.

 

[d.fusion]

thx for the suggestion. im considering the maschine now my main concern though is the "built in" mpc sample quality. i think i would really appreciate the mpcs digital conversion of vinyl samples combined with the automatic saturation/compression it does when converting... im looking into the 1000 now aswell, dont know much about the jjos os and how big of a difference that makes

 

[thedreampolice]

The typical mpc sound comes from low bit rate converters and low ppq sequencer. Both limitations of the technology of the time. If you want true authentic versions of that you need to look at the mpc60 and mpc3000 but again those are going to be so slow to work with compared to the 1000/4000/5000. Maschine can actually emulate and old mpc60 and it does a pretty good job and maschine is fast! See this video

 

[d.fusion]

slow and expensive. yh ive heard about that emulating ft, not fully convinced though do the mikros have major downsides?

 

[thedreampolice]

not really, the mikros are nice. but you can get the normal Maschine for less that an MPC2kXL.

 

[PhDBeats]

Maschine is the best, bar none.

 

[d.fusion]

you guys convinced me next investment will be the mk2!

 

[thedreampolice]

Awesome! You will love it!
