Technical questions for the MPC2000xl and the MPC2000
By fade502 Fri Mar 10, 2006 11:21 pm
I just elevated my MPC from the desk by using a milk crate. Now I can stand and tap my joints out. Much more comfortable for me. I seem to get less unintentional double hits and can an 8 bar sequence with fewer redos. It also puts my decks and my TT at the same level.

Do you guys sit or stand when making beats.

stand.

That is good to hear, I felt a bit ridiculous popping at the MPC, but I get a much better groove.

I just got mine today so i'm not sure which one i like yet.... But i think that i can switch some stuff around so i can use it standing up.

for the work (sampling,chopping,searching disk sounds,step edit) sit.
usually stand to hit the pads to the beat

People I've worked with laugh that I stand almost all the time.
Peace

I sit, but once I get into it I stand up and start dancing/nodding away. Then sit down to bring stuff together in song mode. Then I stand up again and start groovin' again like the funky white boy that I am.

In summary: I do both :lol:

stand.
i feel like a bum sittin' and it feels so pc-like... standin' is better for me... i'm free to dance while bangin' the pads.

i don't really have a preference..i pretty much make beats anywhere i go...sometimes i'll have the mpc setup right next to me in my bedroom and wake up just making beats thru the headphones sitting up

when i have it in my prod. setup, then i'll be standing when i really wanna do some work
