LES GOOOOO!!!!!

THIS shyt IS PIFF!!

LEARNING CURVE ISN'T BAD AT ALL..CONSIDERING I USED BEATMAKER BY INTUA ON IPAD AND THAT IS A MPC COPY LAYOUT.


GONNA TAKE SOMETIME GETTING USED TO NOT HAVING COUNTLESS SYNTH PLUGINS AT MY DISPOSAL BUT LAYING DOWN DRUMS IS fukkING FUN! :ohlawd:

ALSO GONNA TAKE SOME TIME WITH THE SEQUENCING OF IT ALL..I'M SURE IT'S EASIER ON THE MPC 2.4 SOFTWARE BUT I'M TRYNA DO AS MUCH AS I CAN STANDALONE.


MAKE BEAT MAKING FUN AGAIN AND THE MPC LIVE DOS JUST THAT!!!

This jawn been having me feeling inspired and creating nonstop..even take this to work on my breaks.

Only time I touched my laptop was to transfer files to my usb for mpc.

One thing I will say is getting used to MPC workflow and sequencing.

The sequencing is old school to me as I'm used to fl studio.

I'd say if they replaced the sequences with a fl studio like pattern mode this machine would be the GOAT.:ohlawd:

Though I don't mind the limitations because it forces me to create differently.

But there is something to be said about working with hardware over software..

Turnings knobs and hitting pads makes me feel closer to my music and that feeling is :wow:

I don't see myself going back to fl studio only for final mixing and adding some automation/gross as my laptop can run fl studio but not the mpc software :flabbynsick:

Do y'all have a case/bag for this? I travel M-Thu for work and stay in hotels but man I'd love to bring it with me. It's just too expensive for me to bring in any bag tho

Once you learn the mpc hardware you can go to any piece of hardware, software.


I remember having an mpc 2000 and reading the manual front to back, back to front. Learning everything because even when you went to the forums to ask "how do I..." or "what is......" Your answer was "page 57" :pachaha: they'd literally shut you down for asking questions when everything was in the manual.

Once I went from that to the mpc 2000xl and was super familiar with reason, anytime I touched hardware whether it was a fantom x8, alesis, sp404, mv8000 i was already one step ahead of the curve, and even with software like ableton, acid, FL studios and shyt I know what I was doing and what I needed to do, but for the most part it was a matter of finding out how to execute within their work flow.

I'm still on my ASR/SP 1200/MPC 3000 when I wanna use hardware. Maschine & Ableton been my shyt for software, but I like the idea of these hybrids Akai been doing, might have to check em out :ehh:
highly recommended. I come from a hw background too and I've never seen anything like it, where you can keep your "crates" and all your sounds right on the box. just the craziest drum machine I've ever used, I'm in love with it

It's amazing how SP1200 has held it's value...

Brehs are selling them at $2k+

I've seen one for $4500:wow:

And yea Maschine made Akai step it up after MPC Renaissance dropped.

I'm curious to see what a Standalone Maschine would look like:steviej:
