does anyone do all their eqing and mixing in mpc 1000

i dont have a daw or a mixer and was wondering if anyone just mixes with mp. if so can u please leave some tips. Thanx

just arrange your sequences in different patterns. then use song mode to lay out your patterns in succession to make a song. then you can just hit play and its all layed out for you.
example,
pattern1 intro
pattern2 verse
pattern3 bridge
pattern4 chorus
pattern5 hook
pattern6 outtro

then in song mode program 1-3-2-2-3-4-5-2-2-4-5-3-6
hit play and theres your song.

???? A lil' bit of topic??

Anyway, however the mpc isn't really designed for that, it's possible to get a decent mix out of it. U can set the levels and do some panning, and cut off some frequences that are fighting eachother (it's better to cut instead of boosting, especially with the mpc's eq) , and use a lil bit of compression.

The fx aren't that good, but if u know how to use them correctly, u probably will be able to get some nice out of the mp. Not great, but nice.

^ay bro nice tips but personally i wouldnt use too much compression. i only use compression on kicks and snares nothin else inless it calls for u dig

i throw compression on all my drums before i track out

i usually eq the sample before i even chop it

maybe some reverb

ur damn right. Compresion is often overestimated.

i pretty much do. i used to track out but it wasn't sounding how i heard it when i made the beat, so now i just record into this four track i have. i think its sounds alright. www.soundclick.com/coppertony
