Hi guys, I am totally computer based, but Im also a deejay, I have several softwares such pro tools le, acid, reason and stuff, vst instruments, buit beats is always a concern in every production, specially for me. I am into house / trance music.
When I do some beats in Fruityloops or Reason it doesn't sound like the big producers, I'm not talking about patterns and stuff but about the feel.
It's like they put some effect, some filter in the snares and the kicks that sound diferent, phatter and it is harder to sample or a snare because the kicks are constant, so it is always on top of the snare.
I was wondering how it is to work with those hardwares mpc 1000 or 2000 or xl or 4000, to make specially beats.
I read some threads here and I know I have to export everything to my computer and depends of my sound card, I have Mbox, is good enough for the quality.
I don't know much about the power of the mpc's I don't what we can with it, if it is easier to work with and if I'll have to learn a lot diferent things to work properly with the mpcs.
Where you guys pick up the beats to sample, I mean the kicks, snares and etc...Because to sound good I heard we have to put filters equalizers on top of the drums in order to make it fat, mpc has those effects?
I heard Akai has the killer sampler too, is everybody here working with them, that is waht the big producers use it?
Thanks and please help me, so many doubts so little time.....lol
