I've Been using the mpc 3000 since it dropped way back in the day and recently copped an mpc 60mkII til i got an offer i couldn't refuse and it sold for a bit over 1 grand. Anyway when I was at the local music store one of my boy's was using maschine and gave me a run down on how to use it in about 20 mins or so i was knocking out some bangers so i ended up copping it. The work flow is pretty easy but if your a die hard i ain't messin with nothing but my mp than this might not be your thang . But if your like me and tired of luggin that heavy ass joint around than check maschine out cause loading mp files is mad easy trust me im no tec wizard but i was able to transfer alot of my joints over to maschine pretty easy oh and swing wise the new 1.6 upgrade got it poppin.I will upload a couple beats over the next few days to let year some stuff i did .

That's cool, but we're not trying to hear it. We know the pluses and minuses of new technology vs. the 3000/60 by now.

That's like the white man coming to America and telling the Natives about Christianity...wait.

To each his own. Life is too short not to be creative...by any means necessary.

9 posts, and then you come with a topic like this... Smells like spam. But to each their own. I'm no brand loyalist, but the point is: Some people prefer not to have their Beatmaking machine NEED a computer to work. The self contained nature of the MPC keeps me focused, makes it easy to take with you (Simply because of less complexity regarding cords etc.) and makes it feel more like an Instrument.
