The Triton vs. The MPC

sure, i'll comment.

it's alot of talk about a pointless debate. the mpc and triton are not even the same type of machine (if the triton didn't have sampling ability this wouldn't be up for discussion). even with that difference the deciding factors would still be the features, budget and the style of programming the buyer wants.

the features are identical aside from the interfaces and sound pallet... the budget is an obvious clause... so what it all boils down to personal preference.

both are decent machines and are staples in the music production industry. sometimes a vast amount of presets like the triton has will work to get ideas assembled without any downtime.. that's a plus for some. others place value on the ease of programming available on the mpc... that's admirable as well.

i know this sounds cliché but i'll state it anyway to reiterate... what makes you a better producer is not the gear you have but what you can do with what you have.

hes right!!! take MADLIB for example he has an mpc 4000...but all the classic ish he put out (madvillainy for example) he did on a boss sp303 phrase sampler which is like $200-$300 and has like 10 seconds of sampling time and a crappy sequencer...listen to madvillainy and tell me if u can even tell!!!!its not the machine its the man and gosh darnit that man is talented!!!

Skills -n- Preference.........

I agree with all of you.. it's just, the ignorance was boggling.

All I can say is: you will never see an MPC amongst the equipment of the band at an Indian wedding in North West London.
