Might just be me but I always sample into my mp cos I want the sound of the mp. 2c.


Do you know how LONG that would take? He's talking about THOUSANDS of samples. All would then have to be trimmed, named, and saved. That's a lot of hours!

True... but a few at a time wouldn't take too long, load them up as you need. Sometimes choice can actually slow down the process imho. :|

I always feel like one of the most important things to do on the mp is sample your shit into it, so you actually get the processing of the mp.

I only use the usb connection on the mp to back up the project folders on to my hard drive and do a general tidy up.

That's just me tho.
