I LOVE my mfc42. I would love to chat with some people about it and learn it further. Really has some amazing possibilities with it and it sounds **** great. It made HELLA difference with my samples honest to god.

To explain what filtering is and what these machines do over the internet in text is difficult for me. Here: close your mouth tight and hum a lil 2 bar bassline over and over again. Then, gradually open your mouth while still humming the bassline. Get it? I explain it as like layers or gates opening up and letting some music out. I do agree that knowledge of filtering is crucial for producers of all types, though, and is part of beatmaking 101.

so how does the sherman compare to the fmr rnc? r they the same? any body? i think ima get a fmr.....talk me out of it, or into it for that matter. ahemm....lo fi, ur more than welcome to get all up in this......

i may have missed something, but isn't an fmr rnc a compressor? ie. "Really Nice Compressor" made by FMR.....

different ball game entirely - or are you choosing between a compressor and a filter... if so then it depends what your priorities are i guess.

yup a filter tis nothing like a compressor so i wouldn't wait for any comparisons.....

greg

does the mfc has both resonance on the high pass and low pass?

if so nuff bass!!

greg

yes tru ..... i had smoked a little too much by the time i posted ...... there is another filter that i get confused with the fmr, for some reason, and i think lo fi was the one who introduced it to me through a thread a while back.. so

I really like the gritty sound you can get out of the 42, but thats the sound Im going for.
