Hello everyone,
I've been using the MPC2000XL for little over 2 years now and I absolutely love it to chop samples and program drums mainly. I've never been too kean on using much software and the MPC does everything I need. Although lately I've been using Ableton a lot, still hate to program drums on software though.
I have a chance to play some gigs this year and been thinking alot about live performance and how I can incorporate my MPC 2000XL. I should mention that the kind of music that I make is Hip-Hop and am starting to introduce more electronic effects into it so I'm really interested in using effects live.
The main question: Can I play my MPC together with Live, launching clips and effects? Or are there too many latency issues?
If I had the chance to buy a MPD 32, should I do it? And this way I would be using the MPC solely for production and the MPD for performances. I've seen so many people using the MPD live and it seems really fun although I can't quite figure out how they set up their set in Ableton Live.
I leave here the perfect example of what I want to do (I am aware that he's using the m-audio trigger finger):
I know this may sound a bit confusing but I would really appreciate some feedback on this dilemma.
Thanks!
