can anyone else tell?
why dont you post your finished work so we can have a listen ?

i don't know anything about house music, and no, i didn't know that medway is a producer. i don't doubt he knows his stuff, but it seems that the poor guy has you hanging from his nuts...that'd piss me right off. anyway, i wanted to see his mix to see if i could analyse the problem, and why i don't encounter it. i have absolutely no interest in ever releasing a house song, or in copying another artist's work. i'm secure enough in my music. but if he doesn't want to let me see, that's cool.
last word? what about affordability? what about those of us who are doing fine and getting good feedback?
all i have been trying to do is figure out what is going on here, twist. calm the **** down, you're presenting yourself as a real dumbass.

(Medway, enjoyed hearing you play records the other night in columbia sc.) The timing on the mpc is garbage. Ebay that puppy. Pick up an emu command station if you want a solid hardware sequencer, an rs7000 if you need a built in sampler.
my1k- timing makes for big problems at the mixdown stage. flamming transients, phasing, etc.
Antonym, stfu. If you knew anything about house music you would think "hey this is medway, the producer." He's not about to give you any of the components of his tunes seeing as it belongs to the label he is signed to. And incidently, your stuff is very dense- if by dense you mean poorly mixed and muddled.
Threads like this make me sad for Akai as a company, this board, and jokers that think the mpc1000 is the last word in music production.
Whats ure F**kin problem...
If Medway is serious about the timing of his work, he shouldnt have purchased the 1k in the first place. The CPU in that machine is fairly weak IMO. It gets the job done though, and some get great results.
The 4000 is next level, its Intel CPU makes the seqeuncer move a little faster and its timing is superlative...period.
I have no issues with the sound from any of the mpcs, as i work around that and never really use an mpc for its sound.
BTW i would never touch an EMU, have no respect for them...they are nothing but a cheap consumer brand now.
And whos saying the MPC 1000 is the last word in music production???
SO, i think its best that U now STFU and go back to your little Creative / Emu world.

That does not excuse the sloppyness though. A beat should sound tight regardless. That same loop programmed with a softsynth sampler would not exhibit any of these problems.
Not being funny, but do you see the 'contradiction' here. On one hand ure saying the mpc should not be sloppy, and on the other you have fined tuned and improved the timing problem.
Seriously, production has too many variables to find a specific fault. Like i said before, the 1000 has its limitations (like any hw/sw), but after listening to your demo clips through my monitors, i know exactly where ure going wrong.
FWIW i have produced quite a few mainstream dance tracks, so im no stranger to house.

NYM: medway, do you have a lot of qlink or midi cc stuff going on? that's something else to consider, cuz i rarely have that. i usually just resample into my sp404 rather than use the mpc qlinks. i might not run into issues of timing because i'm really only using the sequencer and filters - no sweeping, no effects. just lining up waves.
MEDWAY: not at the point of this loop, at the end product I did. But I checked that stuff. Even sent the sequence into SX so I could analyze it to see if there was soem stuf fin there clogging it up.
NYM: i can see how this would be MUCH more of an issue with house music than with hip hop, seeing as how house has a very different type of layering going on and timing is of utmost importance.
also, medway - when you track out, you're soloing a couple tracks at a time, correct? it's not an issue when you have all the respective wavs on protools/acid/ whatever, right?
MEDWAY: I don't track out, I run my mixes live now straight to Wavelab
after being mixed via my Creamware SCOPE system.
NYM: also, are you triggering long wav samples or is everythign oneshot? that's also important, because the more small samples you use in the 1k i've found that the better the 1k does, both with timing and with dropping out notes. it may be a LOT more work than you'd be willing to put in, but if you're dealing with 8 bar wavs, etc, you might want to chop em up in recycle and load the midi file in order to preserve the transients/exact timing of the original material, particularly if it's strings/pads or something without a heavy attack.
MEDWAY: It's all one shots now. Before I was using long waves as I had a song made originaly SX so had to export full loops. But this song was done from scratch in MPC.
NYM: i'm really curious about this issue. it doesn't worry me a lot, but i'm interested in the guts of the mpc, specifically the processor and how it differs from earlier models/the 2500. i know that was a lot of points/questions but i'd like to see what i should be looking out for in the future.
peace man
MEDWAY: Me too, I'm not as convinced now the cpus are that different after hearing the 2500 loop mixed closer to mine. But it seems like there is still some extra slop on the 1000 one.

1. r your drums are trimmed?
2. what swing setting are u using?
3. and what timing setting r u using?
4. how many tracks on one sequence at a time r u using?
If you read my other posts you'd realize these questions have no point or I have already answered them
