    I think I’m gonna ditch my mpc 2500 for Koala

    Yes, it sure is. I can’t find anything an mpc 2500 can do that Koala can’t. Its super easy to use. And with how the program is built I get basically the knobs and faders right on a touch screen. So it’s pretty slick. I recreated my last few mpc beats In Koala and it’s so easy to use. And I can...

    I think I’m gonna ditch my mpc 2500 for Koala

    Well with the iPad touch interface I get the hardware control feel but I get all the benefits of software. And I can stay focused still since it’s not a computer. It doesn’t feel like a downgrade.

    I think I’m gonna ditch my mpc 2500 for Koala

    I have always had a love/hate for mpc’s and Reason has always been my main rig but I have fun playing with hardware. I built a workspace for a no computer workflow with an mpc 2500, elecktron RYTM, KORG Prologue, a Roland space echo and a real Rhodes. But it’s sooo slow. I have been playing with...

    Hi Good Music Producing People

    You rang? \m/ Been a touring bass player off and on since I was 16. It’s a great instrument to learn for sure! Here is a bass cover I did. and me playing

    Im ditching most of my hardware.

    Dude take a look at launch control https://novationmusic.com/en/launch/launch-control-xl if it had not been out for years I would have assumed it was made for the RX1200. I own one and it's so close to feeling like a real SP without all the annoying pain in the ass stuff.

    Left output is super quiet on my mpc2500

    I had my friend who is a soldering wizard remove the old jack and replace it with a new one I ordered on eBay for $10. I bought him a case of beer for his trouble and I did all the work of tearing in to it. So it cost me like $30 and some time to fix. Still annoying though.

    Cool new SP 1200 plugin RX1200

    Just bought the Rack Extension version for Reason and it's awesome! I have the Launch Control XL as well and it works amazing with this thing, its like getting and SP1200 right in Reason or your DAW of choice. Man it sounds awesome! https://www.inphonik.com/products/rx1200-12bit-sampler-instrument/

    Who here is using NI Maschine?

    I feel that. I just dont like the jack of all trades master of none stuff some of these software companies do. Just focus on doing a few things really really well you know?

    Who here is using NI Maschine?

    The latest update 2.15 is just over a year old. So it's still pretty actively being developed and I am kinda sick of mandatory version updates that everyone seems to need to do. I like that NI is slow and steady with this thing I still have my MK3 and I like it, I think it works great, I think...

    Mixing rates?

    Yes $3-500 per song. It just really depended on a lot of things. Honestly hip hop mixes are simply much less complicated than a band because I don’t have to mix a drum kit mainly. One of the last records I did a lot of mixing on was this one and I didn’t even do the whole thing and I gave...

    Mixing rates?

    A lot of hip hop for sure. Tons of rock, which is usually more complicated to mix. And compared to pro mixers those are CHEAP rates a proper mix should take about 8-12 hours per song if you are really doing it right. It’s actually very detailed work. Then there is mastering after. My buddy is a...

    Mixing rates?

    I dont do that much of that work anymore but I was charging 3-500 for a proper mix and I wasn't hurting for business.

    Left output is super quiet on my mpc2500

    man I can't do mono, thats no good. I like using the MPC but I just hate dealing with this crap when I want to get to work. I will tear in to it over the weekend.

    Left output is super quiet on my mpc2500

    well that's the question isn't it? The inputs work just fine and the volume knob doesn't seem to change the situation so it really feels like the output jack. @2GooD Productions I dont know that there is an amp transistor on the audio output of an MPC, certainly on the headphone out. I will...

    No, it’s just super low output. The right works fine.

    Left output is super quiet on my mpc2500

    Damn it, this is why im a software guy. I will either have to get fancy with my soldering gun or replace a $400 part. So dumb. Reason and Kong never let me down like this!
