Thinking about selling all my hardware and go all software???

[DJ Mart-Kos]

I'm thinking about selling my E-Mu MP-7 synthesizer and little Zoom drumcomputer.

I feel like it's a much easier workflow to go all software.
I know it's heavier on CPU if you wanna use a lot of instruments though so that's where hardware could come in.

Any thoughts or tips?

I'd sell them. Maybe keep the mp7 because they are a bit harder to find, but if you think the sounds are weak/old, I'd sell.

Why sell it when it would make an excellent midi input? Instead of buying a USB keyboard.

I know cats are all digital but midi keyboards still get play....... Right ?

Couple reasons I don't think you should sell your shyt,

1) Get the software first and see if you like it
2) You don't know which of those little gadgets are gonna be worth something in the future
3) What are you gonna spend that money on that's gonna be worth more than something you can produce music on for life
4) Hardware/Software doesn't make the producer
5) Hardware + Software is probably the sound you want anyways. It's what most guy do

That's true. I still don't understand why the MP-7 is looked after so little. I think it has incredible sounds.
I know the MP-7 sounds are also available as a software version so that's what i'm looking to get now.

I still want to use a MIDI-Keyboard but not no external hardware soundmodules inside FL Studio. Cause you need to record all of that inside FL before exporting and that's just not easy to do in FL.

what do you mean recording in fl isn't easy?
I'm merely suggesting you could record your .wav in fruityloops, put it to CD, sample that back through your hardware for compression and added dust.
So people will *think* you made it on the hardware, lending you credibility. When really you did it the microwave way on FL

I'm not familiar with your equipment, so I don't know what fxs/benefits they give you, but something along those lines. Be it compression or whatever.

hiphop was always digital though. The MPC and SP are digital machines to but you probably already know.

The midi mapping is probably easier on a usb controller. MP-7 are hard to find so maybe keep that. but the Zoom can go.

In the end it's what works for the user.

Yeah. I meant for physical equipment though. When most cats tell me they are all digital they are strictly cpu based no keyboards nothing maybe just some monitors but no equipment / instruments what so ever.

Guitar Center has a trade-in, trade-up event that ends today.

alright, i'm thinking to switching only to MIDI-Gear to control the software.

 

[DJ Mart-Kos]

call me crazy but the MP-7 could become worth pretty much money in the future i think.
It has like all the perfect sounds for Hip-Hop/R&B and could sound really well in warm House mixes to.

It has probably the best basses in it from any ROMpler.
