Filtering

What would be a good way around filtering a sample with out the effects board installed, besides getting a MPC with effects as standard.

Ex. To record a sample from some vinyl would I use my dj mixer to cut the low end or is there a better way.

the mpc has a standard low pass filter in the programs -> parameters screen

It sucks though..

Agreed, but it all he's got.

So what would you guys recommend. I have protools a midi interface and a Delta 44 soundcard. Should I get a mixer with effects, use a dj mixer with my turntable to filter as I sample, or what?

Thanks for answering the first question too.

since you have protools why don't you get some vst plugins?
(yes, you can open vst's with some vst -> protools software)

lol i dealt wit it a long long time. do what ya gotta do

try EQ with the mixer and then use the in built filter. It's adequate for making certain bass sounds.

But yeah, the standard filter is nothing special on the MPC

the mfc 42 is a dope filter that goes along well w/ a mpc

Thanks again folks. Yeah I do have Waves Diamond for Protools, so maybe I should just edit it with that or soundforge before I take it to the MPC. Cool no problem.

i concur!!!!!

play with the freq, and the reson

Yeah, waves diamond is very good, but I wanted to get away from using VST's for my main sample's, but just use them for tweaking here and there when I track it out.
