the thing is, 12-bit is just one small component to someones 'grimy' sound. i like the sound of my sp1200 or my fz-1, but its all about fx processing, compression, how you mix, or how you dont mix, etc, for me. shit you dont even need outboard fx if you want grimy, recording a sample to tape then sampling it back to your gear, whether its an mpc2000 or a 60, is still gonna be 'grimy'. i love dirty shit, but my definition is different because i dont really like alot of banging obtrusive drums, i like it sounding muffled and generally **** up. but i do agree that he should have probably stuck with the SP, since hes the master of it and all. the mpc2000 beats of his sound generic to me. did i say anything in this post? :?

There is more tyo 12 bit than just the sound, but the secrets are closely guarded, and initiates must be circumcized, twice.


8 bit is crazy too, I'm really digging it right now. Yall just don't know. Machines should sound like machines.

grimey aint sp1200 drums, its when ya loops are so raw you can barely HEAR drums

hollar

:twisted:

word. See the real heads know the deal. we dont need no crutches like OHHHH I NEED 12 BIT OR I NEED TO GET A SANSAMP TO GET DOPE DRUMS!!!! If u know how to make beats and sample, u can make ANYTHING grimy. It just comes down to the processing after u sample. Im sick of cats being like OOOOO PETE ROCK IS A SELL OUT CASUE THIS AND THAT. Pete rock is just falling off. It dont matter what he uses his beats will not be mecca and the soul brother no more. Elitist dorks blame this on the equipment instead of pete just not putting out the heat like he used to. I sample with wavelab and use my mpc to control reason and my beats sound nice and "grimy" to me. if u dont believe me check some out

Right On. I just smashed my MPC60 cause that thing totally sucked. Had them lame ass 16bit A/D convertors. Only had the 12bit playback. I want the TRUE 12bit. I ain't gonna make any music till I get my SP1200.
The MPC60 is GAY. Like I said, I smashed mine up. **** 16 bit.
Pete Rock is double GAY for using the MPC2000XL. I'm gonna smash all his records, esp. the new really gayer ones.

Ah yes, as your envy comes gushing out, your bitterness betrays your words. While you're over use of the word gay betrays... well, maybe yall ain't ready for that revelation.

Binger, your music sounds great (I've told you that before) but grimey it ain't, doesn't matter though, grimey doesn't mean better, its just a preference. let us underdogs have our day in our forum ya bums.

But anyway, to make this a little serious, A lot of producers when they get noteriety they switch up equipment and their music suffers for it, because they got bank they go way too far, and lose touch with the tools that they had mastered up to that point. They get sucked into the hype of equipment and more more more. It happened to pete, it happened to rza, it happes to so many cats they call it the sophmore curse. It isn't about 12 bit or whatever, but it's about switching your gear up you start from zero again, no one really takes the time to master a machine completely anymore, and now machines have so many features that you probably can't master them completely in your lifetime. The SP is a different story, it has such hands on control, and a well thought out design that despite it's limitations it is very flexible with what it has. The Emax and the 60 still take me to school all the time, any yall know I know my shyt, I'm just saying there is more to using these machines than just getting accomplished what you you can imagine before hand, and necesity being the mother of invention, limits is the breeding ground of creativity, it's just about how you approach them limits.

Ya 16 bit Geighlords!

12 bit non-linear sampling at 40 kHz sampling rate..........

Grimey= lo-fidelity sh!t snack.....has nothing to do with how you compress your drums or EQ them or add tape hiss......yall motherfukkerz are stupid as a fukkin patch of anal warts.....learn to use your damn ears.....for something other than stick each others nuts in......if you were half as serious about making beats as I am or ELMA or anybody that knows the truth behind intuitive less expansive gear such as an SP-1200 or MPC-60....(i wonder why the fuk you're even in this forum....did you read the sign on the way in?) and it is all about the limited sample capacity...the antiquated features.....the tedious process of actually sampling sounds from vinyl....woooh that's a new one to so many people these days....and not to mention the MONO output....oh no....not mono....I want STEREO SOUNDS....I want them to be as loud as I possibly can make them so I have to first edit them on my laptop and then overprocess them....then they're good enough to transfer to my flash media card and I can share them with every user on the net.....wow....you're really making music now.....look at you go.....Jeez....if you'd quit all the name callin' and tossin each others salads....maybe you could crawl back in the rat holes you live in and start bringing the skills up front. Quit the gaf remarks.....show and prove....Put your sound out there on the line....learn to accept criticism and quit callin' a motherfukker like me a HATER all the time...Everybody is entitled to an opinion....and I'm not afraid to label people as SELL OUTS when I see them....if I wanna consider Pete and MAdLIB sell outs....so be it.....everybody that is true to hiphop knows the status.....sick of the bullshit.......open your eyes up and stop all the girl talk. I have a right as a consumer to decide what is good and what is not and 99.9% of hiphop these days is straight garbage. And if we continue to be controlled by mass decision then hiphop will take directions into wackness forever..........Peace on that note. So i'll just keep talkin' the bullshit and making the beats....and you can all remain oblivious.

Boogie Man - you talk a lotta retrospective bullsh!t for someone who can't use a 1200 for sh!t...maybe you shoulda spent your 25.00 on the manual firsthand...I heard E-mu is selling facsimiles for like 15.00......I don't even own an Sp1200 and i'll run circles around you.....

It's kats like you that perpetually motivate people to bring real hiphop down. Hiphop went pop...didn't you hear?

Don't even use the 1200 dummy...Do your practice...The Hiphop that I SUPPORT and PURCHASE doesn't play on the radio....unless of course Craig G. is getting daily spins like the Psycho Realm and 2 Mex along with Aceyalone and Asheru and Blue Black, not to mention Sage Francis or some Boot Camp, etc etc....

drumatic has just shown major herb status. I wasnt being serious im just screwing with you. elmac knows this. but u getting all excited over bitrates. Which is not a good look at all. Just turdpacking homo steez. But 16 bit 12 bit. It dont matter to me, and u still can get grit. And i sample from vinyl and i use just mono outs and a link to my music was just posted a few posts above this. So i guess theres ur show and proove so give me ur elitist nerd critisim.

YO I HOLLARED AT ROGER FORAT WHO MADE THE ORIGINAL MINNIE MOOGE AND HE SEZ I CAN SEND MY 60 IN AND HE WILL MAKE A LEATHER AFRICA MEDALION FACEPLATE FOR THAT SH1T AND REPLACE ALL THE INTERNALS WITH CIRCUITS FROM A SPEAK AND SPELL (THE ORIGINAL JOINT NOT THE WACK REISSUE) SO I'LL BE ROCKING THE 2-BIT SAMPLING ON SOME 0.0003 SECONDS MAX SAMPLE TIME

THEN ALL I NEED IS TO FIND OUT WHAT LOOP THEY USED FOR SHOOK ONES PT 2 AND I'LL HAVE THE INDUSTRY ON LOCK

AND YEAH PETER ROCK IS DEFINITELY GAY NO HOMO

What envy? I have a 60, that's why I read this forum. Maybe I misunderstood??? Gay, I figured that out a long time ago! Don't need you to tell me, I know I'm homosexual.

The point I want to make... I think it is terrible to LIMIT yourself. Sometimes people get burned out on a piece of gear or an instrument. They try something else out to see if it brings a spark.
Sometimes your creativity rides SO high that you could make a masterpiece on ANYTHING. I doesn't matter. Pete Rock could have been using a MPC2000XL back then and done the same greatness. He was inspired to the greatness. MPC was just a tool.
