Debating Over and Over

There is no such thing as half brother(black). The black gene is dominant and it takes many generations to graft it out. When there is enough dilution to change the life germ to a different major color it won't be half anything. It will simply be a new gene. BTW you have to change to brown-past yellow before getting white.

This is the life germ that resides in every cell of your body and defines the nature of your being I am speaking of and not actual melanin pigment.

As far as the sell-out thing, maybe so but lets not pick on him because he is famous. Most of us fit that description when we don't have knowledge of self.

Hey friends, this isn't about Obama this about MPC. I agree with everything stated. I should just learn my software and start making music. What you are forgetting is I am still making good music while learning, well music at least I enjoy. That's what it is all about. This is a hobby not a profession. I am 57 years old, living from the 60's rockers days. I don't know if purchasing the 5000 will make me any better but I am bound and determined to continue making music with my software, hardware, whatever, I am marching forward.

I do appreciate everyone's advice that is why I am a member here.

Sorry 'bout that, tried to go a little beyond that pure technical stuff...

I often have a look at tutorial sites [1] and turn a lot of knobs. But I'm more the eager type of device user, exploring all the details before starting a new adventure. Buying a MPC meant heading a totally different direction of interaction - I decided to. Basically it's a sampler and it sounds like the samples you put in - nothing special about it. So maybe you sound like all the other sampler users if you don't find a way to develop your own technique (drunken style, water technique, monkey style...) and that includes knowledge about your weapon of choice...but you're also right, when you march on towards your baptism of fire (<- found this phrase yesterday and it's the same like in German - I like it)

Didn't mean to take over the topic but I could not resist responding.

The question about getting the MPC 5000 is one you will have to answer for yourself. I say to learn your current set up as much as possible first. If you feel you are missing something you will first have to identify what that is. Then you want to check your manuals or forums for what you are using to see if what you have already can fill the void that seems to be missing. If your software still can't give you the workflow you want, you will have to see if you can find the missing link in other products. There is no need to keep buying and accumulating gear when you don't know exactly what it is you want. That is a waste of money and you still might not achieve the right workflow.

You want to be able to make music with as few pieces of gear/software as possible so you are not bouncing around learning several different things. As far as MIDI sequencing and sampling, an MPC will help get you there but understand what you are buying and exactly what you need first.

Thanks so much once again for all of the input and conversations. I take everything I read here to heart so it is not wasted. I am experimenting right now with using loops in Ableton Live 7. So far so good. I am still examining the MPC or MV perspective. I will continue to use Logic 8 and Ableton as my recording software.

Thanks again.

Thanks again.

The main thing to remember is 'have fun' and 'be creative'.

RIGHT AND EXACT!

A lot of caucasions stiill cant except the fact of a black president that they will say he is only half black. There is no such thing. Once you mix with black(dominant gene) the child is black, period. No matter how dark or light skinned he/she may be. The sick mind state of white supremacy must be put to a end for this nation to move forward. The black man and woman are the mothers and fathers of all, brown, yellow, red, and white. 600 hundred years of grafting. Peace

Could you elaborate further on this as it makes very little sense.

This thread is not enough space to teach a subject like this, but to make it plainer,- without the existence of the black man, there would not be a white man. This is not a hateful, racist, or direpectful teaching. It is just a scientifical, biological, historical fact. Truth is truth. I will not comment on this any further, but i suggest you do resarch on this topic to learn more. Peace.

It was more the "600 years of grafting" that makes no sense. But yeah, it's all good.

Did we just suddenly run out of MPC related things to speak about...??

Must have.
