Hello, I would like to buy MPC, but I don't know which one will be best for me.

I hope that you help me. I make a Rap (sampling)

1. I need mpc on whoose I can will play bass and melody from short samples. MPC 4000 probably it's good for that.

2. If I will do a mix on MPC - will be great.

3. Mobility - I don't care about this. I am not a DJ, but MC whoose knock knock to production world.

4. MPC 5000 - I hear that I can record vocal on this MPC. Who tell me more about that? I thinkt that I will preffer record vocal on DAW (PC - Sonar)

5. I wanna take samples from vinyls, I will need gramophone preamp in MPC

6. 12bit - specific climate or limit? I have some cd produced on MPC but I sell my monitors and I cant possibility to check it.

Done records will be go to digital, sound will be diffrent?

7. Use comfort, convenience and joy of creating

:lol:

hey bro... your best bet is to try before you buy and do some research on here and the web. No one here can tell you what to get or what you need. Each MPC is different from the other.
Here is something to get you started...

You don't say how much your budget is. If you can afford it (and if you can find one in good condition - I would recommend an mpc 4000).
Alternatively an mpc 2500 would be a good machine for you. If you do buy the 2500 make sure you purchase the extra operating system 'JJOS' for it. This makes the unit a lot more powerful.

I agree with this post 100%, your best bet would be to get a 2500, or the 4000 if you got the scratch to get one in good condition.
