Good day, Guys,
I'm new to mpc3000, although I was making beats for years. I come a long way from software trackers to fl to mpc2500, and now I got my hands on 3000. And now I stuck a little bit on the way I used to make it.
When it comes to drums I always did some layering from diff one shot snares, for example, so that's how I got my new one, that I use, so with software and mpc2500 it's easy to search for "layers" of the new drum sound, cause when you choose, you can play selected sound from the load dialog or whatever.
But now, with mpc3000 I can't do that... so just want to know is someone has any tips of choosing sounds for drums without using PC or smth. I know some heads here doing beats on this mpc for years, maybe you can share some tips of the workflow on this tip?
I got in mind some ways, like:
- make my own library of layers, name the files so I can understand it when will be searching for them,
- do it outside the mpc on the PC with any sort of pgmmaker and so - that's not the way I want, cause I like my PC been turned off while producing
- get some drum dedicated vinyl with only breaks to sample it
But really it's interesting to know how you aproach to this.
Ps I'm on 3.11 os and SCSI zip
