filtering samples and speeding up

what do you guys use to filter your samples? the built-in effects on the 1000 or something else (i.e., other sampler, software...)

what is the best way to really beef up a guitar lick?

do you use the 1000 to speed up samples or another piece of hardware or software?

take mobb deeps back at you from the sunset park soundtrack. that guitar came from one of the same samples dre used on xxplosive (shaft lp). sounds way different and is so sick. can that be done sounding good on the 1000 or should i try something else? outboard gear, software...?

i find a lot of original samples that producers use are really tweaked (sped up, slowed down, bassed out...). what is the best sounding way to get these results?

thx for your time and please excuse my ignorance on this topic.

ohmforce frohmage. great free lowpass filter vst. i don't use high/band pass filters in the mpc, i'd rather EQ. i do use the mpc low pass filter for inst pgms. i never, ever filter my drums.

don't worry about it while composing and apply effects non destructively to it in DAW. if you must, compress it in the mpc and remove the FX before tracking it out.

i rarely timestretch. instead i'll chop the samples up, alternate loop them, and play them back in the speed i want them to play.

the mpc is a compositional tool and not an effects box - remember that and get creative in how you compose rather than trying to achieve a sound via effect.

For speeding up samples I use the turntable(talking bout those sped up soul samples like RZA and Kanye). Speeding it up in the mpc adds some kind of digital sound to it IMO.

I use the filters a lot. Messing around with filters and pitch can change a drumsound drastically. For creating bass or filtering out the bass. Some stuff I sample and filter in a s900. But I Eq everything before I sample.
I never use the mp's effects. I'm not comfortable with them.

The best way is finding it out urself. That way u'll discover and learn so much more, plus u'll find ur own methods and tricks that way.
