hey guys !!!
I've been think of getting an akai s series sampler for a couple of years now.
I mainly work with Maschine and load 909 and 808 banks on it from Wave Alchemy if you are familiar.the 909 and 808 are well sampled and the library is near 6gb ! so I have full control like a real 909 and 808 .
Usually I send the drums through a tape saturation from UHE Satin if you know it and I achieve nice results with punch and charachter.
I have a friend of mine who is using the MPC3000 and he played me some of his tracks the other day and the drums were really direct and had a unique and punchy presence in the mix something that I am not sure if I can get with my equipment and also told me that this result is with no special treatment on the drums just recording the master output.So I thought to start checking for an S series sampler since I don't need the pads and the sequencing options.I have an option to get an S3200 and would like to have your thoughts,ideas,suggestions on this one from your experience.I know that the workflow on the S is not the same like with modern gear but if I can get such a good result so easy then I dont have a problem going throught it.
thank you guys !
