Whats up yall.
My question is very common i think.

Stay with the odds use CPU \ Reason \Cubase \Midi Keyboard....
OR use all with MPC 2500.

At the end everyone got their style of walk. It doesnt matter you jump while walking at the end you complete the idea.... Get me !
ppl with asr or triton doesnt mean that getting more phat production then me or someone else.

Ppl thinks getting motif or mpc they recon they produce like alchemist or dre ... whatever. They didnt noticed that it aint about machines that they using its about the man behind that.

BUT... As a producer freak like you i need something little bit solid in my studio that motivates me , more experience ... i don't know Cpu is easier to me i know but getting a solid machine ...

SO question . Upgarde to more solid machine like Might MPC . or stay with the cpu and boost on sample cds...?
Let me hear the oppinions. Whats the + using cpu , samples with mpc ?

The hands on intuitiveness of the MPC is something that has had me sold on it since the first time i laid hands on the 2kXL.

CPU software on the other hand, although it gets the job done just as well, just doesnt give me the same sensation and excitement.

Thats just me, to each his own :)

i agree on dat
but it all depends of you
are u a hands on kind of guy or a software computer kind of guy
personally i cant stand computer ive said it over and over again
b4 buying my mpc i read all about it on da net... on thisforum but even after all the info i still didnt know what i was gettin myself into
once i got my mpc... in da beggining there was allthe manual reading and allthe learning... its the worst part of gettin any kind of machine.,. but now that i know a lot more on how to use the mpc i would never go back to software... having hardware is motivating cuz ure drums are litterally controlled by ure fingure tips and not by a mouse on a cpu lol
thats my opinion
but i know producers that havecome up with good shit on cpu
in my opinion it has todo with the man behind the machine butit also has to do with what motivates the man behind the machine
thats my take on things

yeah but now you can turn your pc into a mpc with a mpd16/24. So its not all clicking. As stated, it comes down to you and how you like to work.

Getting my MPC has changed the way I make beats. I got on a PC the other day after not making a beat on one for a long time, and I'm much less concerened with changing the sample now, I just chop to make it work. I can also make a beat so much quicker on a PC now, but it doesn't have that same swing/analog sound as the MPC.

like my man said i can get mpd 24. thats a good vibe. I feel that.
but... is this feel the same mpc'z?.

(i think you can convert samples to 12 bit to get the phat analogs )

I never had one. I never need to have one till i visit mybrother where i born NY park hills. We trip to BX and i see mans down mpc they like had it then puked. :shock:

Thats why i want yall peeps to tell a man who had 11 years background with CPU production is there any big differences to hands on a MPC ?

( I love that place i think im gonna get one just to share thoughts and talk to yo peeps.)

the difference is the all in one intuitive workflow of the mpc.
