Yo yo new-year greetings to you all !!!!!!!!!!
Could really use some advice, and some opinions from those of you who have similar set-ups and know what you are on about.
PC AMD 1.8GHz
120 Hard Drive
256 133 Ram
M-audio 24/96
SX
Running Reason 2 – in rewire mode
To many plug-ins to talk about
EM1 groove box
01v96 mixing desk
mo phatt rack
Tannoy actives
Neumann TLM03 mic
Focusrite Penta
Samaon Q5 headphone amp
I use this as my home system as right now.
I’m a student at collage doing HND in music production and engineering nice course, no complaints yet, get to play with the big boys toys like SSL mixing desks and the like.
I have just recorded a band, helped produce and mix their album and I have just been paid a nice piece of change, I am now looking to do more RnB and hip hop tracks. And I am now looking to upgrade my home set-up.
I was in someone else’s studio the other day were they had a
MPC 2000 lx I was very impressed with how the drums sounded after I sampled them. The groove template that the MPC uses is very tight indeed,

So to the HELP I’m going to get a korg trition studio to add to my set-up but which of the MPC series to get. The price is not an option only the MCP must enhance my set-up please give reasons why a MCP would enhance my set-up thanks

Peace X 5

Ps I am off to India for a week with the same band as I have been asked to mix them down live on part of there tour.
Any body want some free samples when I get back.
