Need to switch on software. Questions.

Hello

I'm french, i'm sorry if you don't understand me.

I work with a MPC 2500 JJOS XL and Reaper for effect but i need to buy a laptop or macbook to continue to make beat because i move to study.

I've already tried Reason, Fl Studio, Cubase and Reaper to sequence. And Recycle to slice my sample.

I don't like Fl Studio and Cubase.

Reason is cool but, i don't like the sequencer and not vst integration.

I like Reaper but i don't know with which software sampler player use it.

I'll maybe need to try Ableton Live too?

I want an easy sampler/sequencer, like mpc. To play mainly sample, but now i want to try to compose with vsti too. I need function like full level, keygroup, more than 16 slices sample player..etc..

What is the best solution for my use?

Thanks a lot.

You can try FXpansion Geist, it's not really a Daw, it's more like motu bpm, or Ni's Machine, you can open it up i reaper as a plug-in or use it stand alone. You can sample & chop, assign to pads, Etc. Check out the Video...................

I've dont precise.. I've try Geist and Maschine too.

Geist is cool, but only 16 slices per engine no? And i prefer sequence on a "real" Daw to use vst/vsti too.

Dam how many slices do you need Sun!! LOL

Just kidding, I'll slice up a sample into a million pieces & and only use like 5 or 6 pieces, but that's me. Can't you link the different engines in song mode? Honesty i'm gonna check it out anyway.{gonna use my discount} I didn't understand what you meant by"a real daw". Enlighten me

why dont you just split the sample into all your slices via recycle then import those into any sampler you want?

ableton is capable of few hundred slices put that in your pipe and smoke it

Can you tell me good sampler who accept rex files and more of 16 slices?


I try Ableton and Drum Rack, very good, i'll may be learn this soft!


When i say "real daw", i want to say a daw where you can add vst/vsti, can mix all your tracks.. Etc.

Geist is cool, ok, but i think he need to be incorporate in a soft like cubase or reaper.

Maschine.

forget rex files just export the waves and use any sampler you want.

id say jeskola xs-1 or maybe highlife or short circuit.

I choose to use Reaper , the new Reaper 4 is very cool!

And i've got Geist to sample editing.
