Technical questions for the MPC2000xl and the MPC2000
By DJ.JEFF27 Fri Dec 23, 2005 1:20 pm
When dropping a kick or a snare on my mpc 2000 i mostly have to use the effects-filter cause without it they sound empty. But when i apply the sounds transform during the whole song and you can't do nothing about that. I just need a good internal equalizer instead of that cheap souding eb-16 card.
I mean akai doesn't have the best effects but they ask a mighty big prize for them.

Anyone recognize the problem?

I save the majority of the effects for the mixdown.

Try an outboard filter or do like Jac suggested and just save it for the mixdown.(mixer/computer)

Electrix has a nice filter and i'm sure you can find alot more by browsing through the bay or online like Samash,Armens',Zzounds etc.

"When dropping a kick or a snare on my mpc 2000 i mostly have to use the effects-filter cause without it they sound empty."

I see, so you use the effects to fix your sample? So is this a problem with the effects or the sample selection?

"But when i apply the sounds transform during the whole song and you can't do nothing about that."

Sorry, I cannot follow that all. You are applying a sound? Applying an effect? On a sample? On a song? Why?

" I just need a good internal equalizer instead of that cheap souding eb-16 card. "

The EB I use has an EQ.

Start with good samples, not empty ones, and EQ won't be necessary.

on the right side of the filter screen are a few parameters called something like 'filter modulation' (I ain't got my mpc with me); turn 'em all to zero. I think this is the solution for your sound transforming problem....

I mean i use eq effects for my kicks and snares just to boost up the bass sound.
