What do I need a hard drive for?

By DrunkenMonkey Sun Oct 02, 2005 4:12 am
**** a hard drive. I need track shift. Why does the MPC 1000 not have that? Shit is frustrating as hell.


Anyone know if that will be in a new OS? or if there will be a new OS?

Honestly timestretch, zoning and all that bullshit does not matter in the slightest. Not having an option to shift tracks makes it pretty tough to get bounce in your drums without turning timing correct off entirely.

now THERE's an idea.

Anyone got any idea if this will be in the new OS?

Any ideas on shifting tracks some other way with the current OS?

Turning timing correct off isn't what I'm looking for, I prefer to be able to lay something down and then tweak it until it sounds perfect.

Maybe Sparq can best answer that question, but I'd much rather have an internal hard drive any day than track shift.

Timing...

Does this mean you've got none? Never ceases to amaze me how many MPC heads on this board would be lost if it wasn't for TC.

go to seq edit, set it to move (instead of copy)
to shift earlier increase the start time on the left side
to shift later increase the start time on the right side


not exactly the same but does the job regardless.
peace.

Word.

Thanks punchdrunk.

And to the guy who said something about me having no timing. I like to shift things subtly after I lay them down, especially since I usually start with drums as the base of the track... things change a lot along the way.

Thanks for the replies anyway

Peace

Misunderstood

Never said you had no timing. Could have passed on the info Punchdrunk did. Have already corrected some guys on the 2.5k board with this info and it's been mentioned on this board a few times too.

Anyway, Punchdrunks approach was better and, even though it's been posted a lot, the more people that know about this option for shifting notes around the better.

Good that you're sorted.
