Wassup yall, I was a MPC 1000 user, had to return it and now looking for another MPC. What are your thoughts? Should I look for another MPC 1000 or look into a MPC Studio? I like the fact a MPC 1000 is a stand alone and you dont need a computer, but looking at reviews it seems the MPC Studio doesnt look too complicated using a computer. I'm a little familiar with Logic as well so still have to learn the Studio. Just looking for some of your thoughts, thanks alot.

Some of my beats if yall want to check em out, www.soundcloud.com/escohov #KBoogie

I came from the 1k and the 1st thing I noticed was the change of sounds that my beats gave off. The 1k was like gritty hella analog sound(like it was in a box). Not that was a bad thing. The Studio gives you a way clean modern sound. Works really well with plugins, but the software is not quite there. and you will spend a good week getting used to the DAW.

Also if you have a good computer the software will prolly run a lil better; im off a POS Dell that crashes like John Denver. The studio and the ren is the future.

word, there's always gonna be a learning curve. But if I buy another 1000, I can hook that up to the computer as well, and use it as a standalone, so what's the benefit of the studio?
