* True, there isn't really any evidence of MPC on the albums, mostly because I didn't really dig deep into the unit(s) until this past tour. I threw the gauntlet down and decided that I wanted to really know what I was doing on it. I was a Reason guy until recently. You didn't hear much of that on albums (except for the song 'Home Life') because the drums were replaced by a live kit when it came time to track. Great for demos, though. Until now...
* ... that I'm looking for a new sound. I've been sampling guitar chords and layering them on pads. I must say, that's one of the best things about the 5000. Record, strum a chord, stop, hit a pad, hit 'keep', repeat. I can play different inversions of the chord and keep layering it. As soon as I tried it I realized how Thom Yorke's "Eraser" came about.
* About the 5000... I'd probably be on the 1000 full-time if it weren't for the pad sensitivity of the 5000. 1000 has most everything I need except the pads don't respond nearly as well. I actually used a 1000 tonight just to chop samples and then loaded them onto the 5000 to play them. Still having file naming nightmares, now that I've saved about 12 different "Sample0xx"s since I started on it.
Hey, here's a 5000 gripe. New Sequence? Start me out on track 1!!!! Not the track number I was working on in the last sequence.
Of course, the next stop is to check out the 2500 with the JJ... One day I'll have the rig all figured out, the perfect MPC nestled in a Pelican case and ready to roll to the studio with.
*Oh, and I am a crate digger. I just fill my own crates. (And I love them .rar files that I find links to on certain blog comments...)
