Remember if your buying any RAM other than the official Akai stuff then you have to get double the amount, e.g. i had to buy the 256Mb Kingston RAM for me to be upgraded to 128Mb. I think what the ebay seller means is that the previously unrecognised RAM will become available when OS 2 drops.

Peace

that sounds good in theory, but would AKAI do it? we probably would have heard about it already. and why would the 1k have more ram than the 2500?

it is bs, i'm afraid, the mpc only reads one side of the ram chip, so in order for OS 2.0 to make it able to read both sides, it would have to be able to replace the motherboard of the mpc too! all in a software download?? i don't think so.

nice idea tho...... :D peace

That guy on ebay is confusing the RAM specs with the HD. With OS 2.0 the 2 GB limit on the HD will be gone.

from what i know and from what i've done, no, there isn't a way for the MPC1000 to recognize 256mb RAM. the 2500 can only recognize 128mb. in order for a computer to recognize more ram, it would depend on the motherboard. operating systems doesn't determine the capacity of the memory. and seeing that this auction is for a red/blue 1k, then i would say that person's description is false advertisement.

Yo Sparq, is the CF card limit still 2GB on the new os? i was wondering if it was a hardware limitation or not. Cheers. Was just thinking, cos you can get a laptop hard drive-to-cf card adaptor, so you could have a quieter, more robust setup with a larger flash drive than with an actual laptop drive. sure it's be more expensive, but just a thought. :D


is this on topic? :D

GET YA BARS UP!

By SWELL PEOPLE LET GET BACK TO MAKING MUSIC STAY FOCUS YOUNG MENS 8)



Competition is at an all time high in the music business. The recording technology has become more affordable and attainable. Everybody is rocking an AKAI MPC & ProTools. Everybody is a producer now. (So you think!)



There are so many of us with a lot of gear and little to no knowledge on how to properly use the gear. Easy Mo Bee said it best. “Just because you have ProTools doesn’t mean you’re a producer”. There are a lot of us out here that need to Get Ya Bars Up! It’s time for us to go back to basics and learn the fundamentals. Pull out those tutorials and manuals and learn your gear.



Most of us are spending money everyday to improve our production. We buy gear, sounds, and studio time to compete at the highest level. Where do we fall short? Knowing the simple basics can improve your overall production quality. Some things can be taught and some things can’t. If you don’t have an ear for music you can’t survive. I don’t care if you have the hottest studio known to man. Wack equals wack.



I agree with Jazzy Jeff and Prince Paul when they said that the more knowledge and gear you have the less productive you become. Back in the days when all I had was an SP1200 or MPC 60 I was mad productive. I can remember bangin out 10 or more beats a day. Things have changed. When you add pieces of gear to your studio it’s a learning curve. Unfortunately you’ll have to take time to learn your gear. Embrace technology and use it to your advantage. Quality over quantity is the ultimate goal.



Needles shed some light about honing your skills and spending time working at your beats. There are cats out there that feel they’re ready to shop tracks after owning an MPC for 2 months. There are a million producers. First impressions are everything in the industry. Get Ya Bars Up before you start shopping your beats.



Educating your self and practicing is the only way you’ll get better. Def Jef believes you need to make mistakes to be a better person and producer. Look forward to making mistakes and learn everything you can about music and your genre of music. As a producer it’s imperative that you know your history in the genre of music you’re producing. It’s imperative that you know music. Learn all about different instruments, turntables, and the artists that came before you.



Biting is a temptation that all of us possess. Some of us as producers are asked to bite and emulate chart-topping producers. JR Rotem responds with capturing a particular energy that a club or street record may have. JR believes that everyone has his or her own voice. Find your voice and perfect it to the fullest. Be creative by exposing yourself to other types of music and draw inspiration from there. Find your niche and stop copying today’s fads and trends.



Focus even agrees that a lot of cats listen to what’s on the radio and try to duplicate what they hear. To truly grind you have to make a niche for yourself. In other words Get Ya Bars Up. A lot of us are beat makers and producers that can’t play instruments. Buckwild proudly admits that he’s not a musician. He’s a producer with hit records. Play your position and stop making them corny ass keyboard beats that lack chord progressions and feel. Find a musician that can play what you’re hearing if you can’t do it. There’s no replacing a live bass and guitar player.



A producer will go to the extreme to find players and sounds that are hot and unique. The best producers in the game have the best musicians, engineers, artists and sounds. So when you listen to the Sonics of a DR.DRE or JUST BLAZE production you’re listening to the best of the best from start to finish. The goal is to isolate your weakness and build your skills.
