HHHHHEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPP!! Software vs mpc

i cant decide which one to get... i understand the mpc is a hott piece of equip...but why get an mp when soft samplers do the exact same thing??

If you feel that way then get the sofware of your choice then get the mpd 16.. you can kill two birds wit one stone...

Best thing to do is try both and go wit da one dat moves u da most.

What are you using now? Or are you just starting out?


I started out Hardware, then ventured into software(Reason 2.5), now Im bangin Hardware again(MPC 2000xl SE) When I first began to come up, my mentor didnt believe in sampling, everything was MIDI, so thats all I new. I've come into my own since then(2003) and sampling is a major part in my workflow. The MPC compliments my workflow very well. Thats all it boils down to. Get the gear that best compliments your workflow. I can have all the hot ideas in the world flowing through my head, but if I cant lay them down in time, its a waste. It takes experimentation and alot of exchanges at Guitar Center. Them ninjas hate my guts!! LOL
