Just joking!!! I knew this would get you guys to read this. This is the most powerful machine in my arsenal. I've had this thing for about two weeks now and I'm really starting to make some good progress. My songs really have the depth and umph they had been lacking.


The Akysys software is a beautifully designed tool hopefully with future OS updates there are some things they will address. I'm in St. Louis, Mo. and alot of the producers around here either can't afford this beast or just stuck in the 2000xl or 3000 mode. Thats cool if thats what works for you, but, I really think they don"t understand what they are missing. When I see all those zip disks I don't think about the move to choice to get 2000xl.

I running DP3 on OS 9.( I won"t upgrade until Dp3 has more plug in apart) But, I'm running DP3, reason 2.0, my MPc, with a few soft synths. Triology bass synth is incredible.

I would like to know if anyone is interfacing the MPC with resons, because right now Reasons is just a way for to create new samples. Which is cool, but, I'm just curious? My Mpc is fast becoming the brians of my system.

I am impress but know its time for some of this stuff to start paying off. In about another week, I'll be out to sell some of nmy beats on the street here in St. Louis, becuase of the success of Nelly, the music scene as just exploded here.
