Hertzworth Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 (edited) If you just got your 1000 and its the blue one be sure to update the OS to v2.0. It has adds about 32 features! The only reason I ever see myself using one again might be to per4m a live show doing some arrangments and some simple drumming. All the production would be done on other hardware/software then imported into the MPC though. I can't deal with that kinda of production anymore, too slow for my style of editing! I'm definitely no or when it comes to rockin the MPC though!!! Those guys are GODS! I've seen em both live a few times and their shit is mindblowing! Even smoked a J with JEL b4 his Toronto performance Divinci busts out two MPCs on stage and plays em both! Unbelievable!

Steelio Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 A computer sequencer wth a midi controller is infinitely more flexible than an mpc. Good luck with it tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liam Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 That's a good idea... ever thought of a solid-metal backed music stand? (like for sheet music) thats what im going for... I don't have an MPC, but I do like my laptop angled like that. I used to be very much into art and especially technical drawing, so I've got a big A2 drawig board. I don't use it much these days but it works exceptionally well as a stand. Gives me a lot of extra real estate for my outboard sound card, pens post-its not to mention rizla lighters etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WRONG! I use my Laptop and trigger finger at everyshow. It also doubles as my serato set up! VERY PORTABLE, and of course, FUN! alligator food Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
$a!n+ Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 You should get a stand alone cradle to wheel around, take up less desk space, and work goo for live shows. Also, I want one o these when they come out.http://www.odysseygear.com/display.php?sku...279d0aae867188bI am sure it would work with an MPC aswell.

If I didn't already have a MPC I'd think about just buying one of those MPC styled trigger pads... But I also think that MPCs are hella unique... IMO they are in general .... less linear I'd say... where as computer shit is less looped sounding and more linear... both are cool, but I prefer using a MPC. To a laptop is too distant feeling. My MPC feels alive like a person. I hope u back that bitch up a lot Saint... gonna loose a lot more than just 100g's of zip data if your laptop crashes! But you also don't have the BS load times I got.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
