Just started getting back into making some sample-based house music (I guess) after a couple years of some hearing issues; been listening to a lot of Moodymann lately. I recently picked up a MPC 1000 for pure vibes.
The machine and JJOS2XL are way more inspiring to work with than the MPC One I used to have but arranging and exporting was a bit of a pain. I used the song function to create a mix down of individual stems using track mutes. Was way more tedious than the MCP One, but probably less tedious than manually tracking everything into a DAW. I lightly mixed the stems in Logic.
Curious how people are creating more complex/varied arrangements directly in the MPC/JJOS. Trying to avoid the DAW as much as possible right now for the creative stuff cause I'm working all day on a computer. This track was a bit formulaic in structure but I think there may be some MPC tricks/functionality that I still need to learn.
Here's the track: https://soundcloud.com/pink-bourbon-484201892/your-time
