Would you get :


OR

The New MPC One?


I swear I would get the 2000XL over the MPC One!

This has never been an issue, as you can actually print stems very easily in the 2.5 : it's the mixdown option available in song mode that allows you to resample as a wav file the entire chain of sequences that compose the Song.

So the flow goes:

Compose Sequences respecting a consistent order of Tracks (same Track order in all Sequences)
Arrange Sequences in a Song
Create a new Sequence out of the Song
Create a new Song containing ONLY the new Sequence

THEN, for each Track you need to Stem:

Select the newly created Sequence
Go in Track Mute
Play with the track mutes to select which track you want to stem
Go back to the Song that contains the single Sequence
Mixdown the Song to a Sample

REPEAT until done and save your Stems

Yeah, thats waaaay too long of a process for me. I would want stem rendering like the mpc live/x or I'm going to track out the entire song in one pass. If that is the case, I'll stick with 4000.

Yeah, maybe it's a bit boring having to switch from track mute to song mode per any track, but if you think about it when you have only two inputs in your card you have to pass by a similar process, to track out single channels... also working with a phrase sampler implies workarounds to multitrack out, so I guess it really depends on your personal workflow, whether you consider it normal or cumbersome

what in the world are yall talking about?

The best thing to do is buy, a better card with more inputs. It's also important to select gear, that makes your job easier and more efficient, so you can be more creative. I track out 16 track out at a time, with the ability to do 24. Overall it's not boring, but there are better ways to do it.

Sharing ways for recording stems from a MPC, that can't render like the LIVE/X.

That right there. So everyone's setup will be probably different, their own studio finger print.

Plus looking at this.
