Are Triton Studio's better than Mpcxl's?

"Just answer the question or don't. Stop patrolling the site trying to correct people or put them down."
If you are outta order then you are outta order, period.

"If you are going to stand up for something at least represent yourself in a "manly" manner.
What, like "Yeah shut up Bingo(er)!!"?

"Is it just me or are some cats not very bright?"
It might be you.

"I would never back someone being childish."
If you read and understood what I was SAYIN and not what you were thinking you would understand that I was pulling from fact and not being personal.

"Why do you'll have to put down the "newbies".
I put down no one, I just asked you to "lean back". I'd like for someone to have the decency to download the FREE manual and give a GOOD HONEST attempt at learning the gear they purchased before asking me "how do I save" a million times in one day when it's right there in the book. How many times must I answer it?

"And if you look thru the threads he is always putting people down."
That's on him, not me.

"So I guess you researched every machine , software etc. before you asked anyone a question including the guy at the guitar center?"
Nope, never asked a guy in Guitar Center anything. Learned on my own with my ASR10 alone in a barracks room in VA, read the book at least 20 times. I do my own homework.

"The information was correct, but the framing was all wrong."
What do you want me to do?

"Real men do and say real things."
Again, "Yeah shut up Bingo(er)!!"

I have owned a Triton classic and MPCXL for 4 years, now a Triton Extreme. I think I can speak a little on both seeing that I have read the manuals several times and pretty much understand them.

@ Murda-Muzik - Sorry for the delay in answering your ? dog, for your first peice of equipment EVER like you say, I would cop the MPC2kxl. The Triton is a bit much for the first peice of gear, you can bang on the pads and feel the beats alot easier on the mpc. More midi channels that Studio, Easier sequencer, cheaper on the pockets, smaller so it takes up less space, some cons are that it doesn't have internal sounds, 8outs w/digital out and eb16 effects are optional and extra loot. They are worth it though if you plan on doing some midi multitrackin later on in the future with your pc and if you don't have any outboard effects gear. It's all about the pads though, no keyboard I've played with can match the feel of the pads under your fingertips though.

lol.. for real..not only that though, "hot beats" require "hot skills"...not just a piece of gear.....a saying that I firmly believe in


It's the man behind the machine, not the machine in front of the man......

Every piece of gear I've bought and owned, I have known at least a lil bit of info about it before buying it....I have never bought something just because so and so had it.....here's a list of the things I have used since the beginning

Yamaha RX21 drum machine- what I knew of this piece was that it was a beginner piece....bought it for a hundred and fifty bucks back in 92....a friend firmly suggested that if I wanted to "make beats" like he did, (he had an MPC60) that it would be best if I bought something low end first, just to make sure I like what I was doing and that I could understand something as simple as that drum machine............

Fostex H28 4 Track recorder-From the same friends recommendation, this was another good piece to take it the "next level" of my curiosity of beatmaking...which I bought from a guy who DIDN'T feel he was going anywhere with the gear he had...so I bought from him the 4 track, a broken Alesis SR16, which got fixed and a Gemini Dj sampler..... made some cool little beats with that combo...then took it further and bought a Yamaha QX7 sequencer and a Casio CZ3000....With that combo I made this beat called "Break em Off", which for what I had, sounded pretty fvcking dope....I sequenced the bassline and drums together and all the samples you hear are played by finger, each and every instance.....


I had that setup until 96 when I then bought an S900, which I had knowledge of from a friend who had one...made beats with this setup for about 5years....didn't get my MPC until 2000.....but trust , it was a long time , I knew it was going to be a long time, but I was dedicated to what I was doing.....and when I finally got my MPC, I was already steps ahead of someone who never touched anything...I knew the terminology...I knew what sampling was, I knew what modules were, I knew what sequencing was, I knew to separate all of my tracks, I knew what chopping was, I knew what cut and paste was....All that shcit I already knew, becuase I put in the time PRIOR to even having an MPC...I didn' just start listening to Hiphop one day and say, "I wanna make hot beats too, I'm going to go get what the pros use"....Hell nah....I had to make sure I really wanted to do it before I copped all the big name schit.....I advise any younger heads to do the same........

If its just a website why you allways here hump!!!!!!!!!!!

cause i got the internet in my STUDIO which is where i work all day. And i run my businesss from EMAIL which is how i afford to be on here all day. Any more questions, "hump"?

"I wanna make hot beats too, I'm going to go get what the pros use"....Hell nah....I had to make sure I really wanted to do it before I copped all the big name schit.....I advise any younger heads to do the same........"

Yeah, it can get expensive REAL quick. I would advise the same also.

Heres a sample of non MPC work I did in 95.....

Break em Off Something......

every topic turn into bullshit now...

in reply to the actual "topic" it's not really a topic that can be answered by anyone other than you. It all depends on what you're feeling, first of all

1. right out a list of all the gear your interested in. write out the pros and cons of each

2.then take a whole day, seriously a good six hours, and spend it at the local music store. demo the hell out of everything your interested in. take a notepad with you, and take notes about what you like and what you dont like.

3.after you decide "okay this is what i want" leave the store, go home and sleep on it. the next day if you still want to make the plunge then by all means, dive right in.

As far as the triton vs. the mpc. i own both, and to me they both complement each other equally, i dont think i could go without either or.
