Is there anyone here making tracks totally on the 1000? If so, do you have any links to audio? I think it would be interesting to hear.

I can use my 2kxl to do tracks strictly stand alone. I'm sure they can be done on the 1k as well.

You could but you would'nt be able to mix the sounds, and add unlimited signal processors (eq, compressor,effects) that great, even though i think there is some on board the 1000, and then you gotta record it to most likey a multi tracking device. More gear is good........... :shock:

what am i doing here i dont even own an mpc :oops:

All my beats are strictly done on the 1000. I use cool edit just to chop samples, because chopping, trimming, etc. is annoying to do on the 1000, and record my sequences. I don't use any effects at all from cool edit. So basically everything is really done with just the 1000. If you do hear some effects they are the 1000's effects.

Just click my link below and navigate from there. They're not the best, but I guess it could give you some idea....I suppose!

Not always and not for everyone. Especially if they are lusting for gear but don't know wtf to do with it.

Yeah, just started making beats when the 1000 dropped in January. Before that it was pause tapes and just looping stuff in cool edit.
