Hey everyone! I'm new here, and I just had some questions to ask regarding a live set up as well as a studio set up.
A little background, I go by the name of SubTronik and I am a hip hop instrumental artist out of Toronto. I have a little mixtape thing out that you can check out for free at http://www.SubTronik.bandcamp.com (I'm just throwing that in there so you guys can maybe get an idea of what I sound like so maybe you can imagine what I am trying to accomplish a little clearer). Anyway! So lol, after completing that project, I am in the process of upgrading my studio, and coordinating live shows. I was thinking about going with a MPC 2000xl (it wins out over the 3000/60/60II+s950 combo because of the portability). I first started making beats using FL studio and now I pretty much would like to do all my like sequencing and what not in the MPC and then track it out I'm guessing through an M-box into Fl and arrange everything there.
I also want to use it to do shows. I would pretty much be doing the whole mute/un mute track thing along with a little bit of drum programming and other random stuff. However, as you will hear if you check out my mixtape lol, I have a massive love affair with the delay feature. To my understanding, (which isn't much when it comes to hardware
) to be able to do that I would then have to upgrade/buy an upgraded mpc with the eb16 effects card? Is there anyway that I could kind of track my mpc out to a mixer or something, like a tapco 220fx and add the delay there? I will also have a rane ttm57 set up with some technics.
Thank you so much in advance, and please excuse my ignorance
I only know 2 people with mpcs and one doesn't know how to use it and the other is one of those unhelpful, "if I tell you, then I will have to kill you" on the low type of people (yeesh)
