Hey, sorry, I have a bunch of questions you've all probably heard 100's of times before.
I'll try to be concise. This will be my first MPC. I like making old school hip hop beats and do a lot of sample chopping. as a hobby. i probably suck- but i enjoy it.
i've been working with fruity loops, but before I used FL studio, i used this program that let me bind all my samples to keys. long story short, I'd like to be able to do that again- and not need my computer. What appeals to me about the MPC is having all my sample chops and drum kits right on there (or on the memory card) and being able to bring it around with me.
I've wanted one for a while, and am finally going to buy one. The research I've done shows that the MPC 1000 is probably my best bet. But after further- research I read that the pads on the red/blue 1000 don't feel good and they stop working after a while.
I found a blue/red 1000 on ebay for under $500- looks like it's in great shape and says that all the pads work.
Are the blue/red 1000s really inferior to the black one? is $450 for a good condition blue/redMPC1000 a good deal? and if they pads were to break how much money on average would it cost to replace them? Finally, what first time MPC would you guys recommend? which MPC is the most user friendly? I'm willing to spend a little more for something that has a quality build and will last.
Thank you, sorry for the noob questions.
