Hello to the mpc community ! I wanted to share with the community my thoughts and experiences on the mpcx. Any advise or input would be most appreciated. A month ago i bought the mpcx and this was the first time i ever used one. Coming from fl studio and logic pro my first week was brutal with the x literally almost gave up .but by the 2nd week i started geetting use to the work flow and by the 3rd week i have fallen in love with the unit i am actually having fun making beats again .
I purchased this machine from guitar center for $1650 in total used no box which im bummed about .no usb3.0 cable . =( . I am Not sure if this was a good deal.i dont have usb 3.0 on my mac pro 2012 will this still work for me ? How do i go about getting the software installed since its used ?
I feel like they can make the operating system better though. It is hard to get a clear view of the song as a whole for example in logic or protools it looks alot more organized and easier to see the song at once. Though i havent been on the software yet .. the browsing of the folders and sound needs to be fixed . one problem im having is with the pads im not understanding how the pad setting work and how to adjust them because Some instrument sounds arent responding properly. And it feels like i have to overly hit the pads i wish it could be more touch sensitive and responsive. One thing thats killing me and will have a cow if i find out that its not here is i cant find how to see the name of the keys on grid mode . im trying to learn how to make a certain style of beats on youtube and the mpcx is not showing me the name of each key. this is making me waste alot of time figuring out which key is which. When tryng to make my own chords and scales my mpc came with version 2.2.1
I kinda like that the mpcx is expensive it makes it more exclusive and rare to have only small group of people will have it .
Any advice for getting effects that gives that lil skies type sound thats dreamy cloudy happy fun childhood playland toysreminiscing sound lol ?
Really excited on being part of the community and getting the best out this machine thanks for your time and have a great day !
