I'm currently set to work only with my MPC1K since I don't have a computer any more. Ever since I started making beats on my mpc standalone they have been sounding much better. Few problems I came across.

What is the best way to bounce my beats ?
I know that back in the days we had like die DAT recorder and some may use cd burner but seriously what is the best way to do it.
I'm open to all idea's I rather don't wanna go back to a pc since I fairly happy with using hardware only.


Second questions what is the best keys to use in combination with the MPC ?
I had radium49 midi keys but these been usefull ever since I started using MPC as a standalone machine I've been looking for a way to make good melody lines. The mpc doesn't have a spead or auto zoning feature for the keys. I was looking for a korg light mabey something like that .

Like to hear ya toughts aswell on this

THNX you in advanced

try a DTD (direct to disk) such as an old dps 12/16 akai ( or 24 if you have enought money), there is also the vs1680 / 1880 from roland wich is really nice. TAscam with their portastudio is not bad either.

you can connect a cd-recorder. and burn cd of your bounced beats.

my friend and i use an akai dsp 12 and a roland vs 1680 (both with FX)
