Okay right now i have been messing around with fruityloops for like a year and im starting to get sick of point and click and not being able to sample good stuff i wanna use my hands and really "feel" the music you know. anyways i have been doing some research and ive narrowed down 2 machines that im considering to get, either the mv-8000 or an mpc-2000xl. now the mv-8000 seems to have alot of shit on it cd burner,the screen is chill,being able to hook it up to a VGA monitor and all that, but then again the mpc-2000 has a big rep in hip hop production and all that seems pretty hard to learn on it, i have already messed around with the mv8000 and it seemed pretty easy i sampled something quick and used their "auto chop" nice feature (does the mpc have that feauture?)

anywyas my question is what does the mpc have that the mv8000 doesnt?
do i need to buy a zip drive thing to save my samples and drum kits on the mpc?

im gonna mess with an mpc tommorow at guitar center see whats up ive only messed around with it once and thought it was hella hard.

give me more reasons y the mpc is better please!thansk for reading the long post as well.

Shalom,

Really dawg it's whateva supports your needs to help your production better. The MPC overall has the crisp thick warm feel to it. It beefs everything up nicely. I love my MPC 2000K. I use to rock the ASR-X which was dope but I will take my 2000 anyday, feel me?

That MV-800 is a huge piece of equipment though. Its like the size of a midget, lol. But yo whateva fits you best.
