I hate it for this matter but I deal so dont reply saying some dumb stuff..
cause I still deal.
And will always deal..


I can't help it, I have to say some dumb stuff haha! (No offence of course)

Have you tried lengthening the release time of the filter/amplitude
envelope? Just asking because I've had the very same experience.

Let me know if this works for you other than your own way to deal! :)

Peace!

Or do you mean the mpc4000 has the highs that the mpc2000 hasn't...
It's really the other way around I think when you put it like that!?

Guys going crazy over nothing....

I use the mpc 4000 everyday...Cause like you said it is a solid piece of machine..
If I commented on 24bit and other features then maybe you could comment..

But all i was talking about where the Analog to Digital Converters...

Why dont I use a 2k, MMMMM, I use it on drums....

Mpc 4000 I use for everything .

"THAT MACHINE JUST RIPS IT MAN. IT IS
24BIT AND THATS THE SOUND YOU WOULD EXPECT FROM
24 BIT CONVERSION. CLEAN, PUNCHY AND MOST IMPORTANTLY
WHAT I PUT IN IS WHAT COMES OUT...
PEACE. "

Read my posts clearly I said the MPC 4000 has less Lower to mid range when sampling..
The mpc 2000 and XLs have 3db more low end and mid...

You like the 2000 stick to the 2000...Ummmm I think I should not take this personally, but If you have no clue who you are talking too. maybe you should ask some question before assuming that I should go back to my 2000....

You post a lot of useful shit on this site and the thing is that people are depating over your shit and not hating or taking it personaly... keep the posts up, I've learned a lot from you, but i aint gonna agree on everything you say cause I'm human.

no ones going crazy, why you getting worked up about it... I don't have a clue who I'm talkin to... so what!!!... that's besides the point. you express your opinion and I just express my opinion.

and I don't take it personally cause I'm not into that and aint got nothing to take personaly.

I said quite clearly said that its down to taste and colors and if you like the mpc2000 sound use it.

At the end of the day, it's down to your beats.


I aint talking about the 2000 cause I've never owned one, I just think it sounds clean and I really think that what I put in is what I get out. Also, when you get a sample into the 2000 I'm sure most people eq and compensate whether on a emu, a kurzweil or a akai mpc 2000. All machines have their floors....

Peace

All good points

I can put up an example also up later for ;listening purposes

Yeah I just got worked up cause i didnt smoke in the morning..

I got nerves man nerves when I cant get high

Im sorry if anyone took my rants personally...

As for the release on the mpc yeah I know ive tried that but it does not help when getting into lower freqencies and if you have too much release you will bleed the notes . but yeah I know what your going for..

Iam gonna try something new tonight but Looping a samle that I want to repeat is gonna be harad cause you use usually loop that small waveform within the waveform..
And it works but Its hard to explain now that Iam actually high..
Till tomorrow we will have a discussion about What makes an Album cover great>>
No not really but for the moment

to Freedom, did you get the results of the analysis of the converter's frequencey response ?
