Talk me into keeping the mpc...

sorry, but am i missing something? i posted what i feel is valid info on logic vs the mpc and everything i said i have tried and tested. logic isn't great for doing beats and i stand by that. the mpc is. i stand by that too. try playing the same beat into logic and then into the mpc. enough said.

I think he was talking about his own post.

i say that if you wanna get rid of it, sell it yo. You can get another one down the road! Get rid of it if your killin the software!

my bad, i was talkin about jonkatiffs original post cuz i think he used his mpc enough to make the decision himself whether he likes hardware or software.

Sorry then, misunderstanding.

all good.

Two cents worth

If you have younger siblings, why not give it to them. They would greatly appriecate it. And if you ever see your them starting to come up with some mad beats you could reclaim it.

I get up to get down

or you could always just give it to me!

Yeah, I think I will sell it. And logic being better for audio? Nah, logic is best for midi editing. I kind of already made the decision, just wanted to see people's thought on the subject. Couple of big reasons - first, I lined up a bunch of new drum samples in my lil DR008 soft sampler, compared to drums coming out of mpc - no question, the software drums were way bigger sounding. I mean it was no contest. Second, I like to do live guitars and sometimes just track audio from keyboards and not midi...it's like I can do twenty takes of that shit and then keep the best one or edit the hell out of it. Third, any feel you can get with the mpc you can get with logic, you just have to learn how to flip it.

As far as the pads, I'd really like to know why some people think they suck...I'm pretty stable at 3 ms so I think the latency issue will be fine...it seems like the bigger deal is that you need to edit the start points of your drums real tight so that it triggers real quick...a lot of space before the hit and you'll get the delay thing - but that's an easy thing to work with, why else do they suck?

sell it and move on to logic.... I have almost the same set up as u. Cubase with mpc without any effects board but I learned to live with it. I track with cubase and do the effects there. Or do what some guy said, buy an 8 out and hook that shit up on your comuter and use logic effects LIVE>>>>>>

sometimes you dont know what you have until its gone.

Try sellin it......save your money, and in a few weeks, or months if you feel like you need or needed it, repurchase a new one. IN the mean time try out your new setup/style..

Research other gear/plugins, computer programs-etc. See if you like what your doing.

HOWEVER

Just dont blow your money. I always keep in mind that if my $$$ was invested in equipment, that same money should stay invested or saved for future investments.....its easy to blow cash on stuff you dont even need.

My current mpc is actually my second one, because my skill needs didnt match what the mpc offered, after selling it, i purchased a triton-then my skill and style developed and i realized what type of setup would work for me, and it happened to include the mpc. So i bought a new one and have been happy ever since. I would have never have known if i didnt sell my original one.

peace

I wouldn't talk you in to keeping it....cuz if it is not you....that is just what it is.......sell it...........

As far as the "bigger sounding" drums, you only get out what you put in

I disagree. You can sample a drum and make it sound completely different on the way out. Though it helps to start with something good.

everything you can use from that point is basically fx/filters/distortion/etc... all the same shit I can do
