Mpc500
I agree, not to say cats can't flip tracks on it. But if you don't own a mpc, i'd go for at least the 2kxl for maybe 5 or 6 hundred dollars more. (Used on ebay) You have more options. Slice, blah, blah, blah, etc., etc...But you know what, it's all on what you're comfortable with and what you're... -
wow MPC 2000xl prices going ^
I feel what you're saying, but you have to think, 99.9 percent of producers want an "MPC" (don't lie to yourself people, you know ya'll do, lol), so of course the price is going to be jacked up at least 20% than what it's worth. That's with any product, whether it be clothes, shoes, jewelry... -
MPC Repair
Hey, if anyone can tell me where would be the best place to send my MPC 4000 to get a minor repair, that would be greatly appreciated. One of my sliders for the "Q-link" is a little loose. I took it with me on a trip and somehow it either rubbed or bumped into something, i'm not sure. Anyway, it... -

MPC help
if you get an mp for 400 bills i'd be surprised. i mean, i'm not saying it's not possible, anything is possible. i still see the "60" run for like 700 bills easy. if that's your budget, you'll have to look extremely hard for an mp at that price. for a few more hundred, you could cop the 1000... -
just went to gutair center today?
It's all on what you're comfortable with. If you're willing to learn hardware then it will become easy. You could still use your software with it. The good thing about the "1000" is that's extremely portable. Let's say that you go on a trip for like a few days. You can just pack it up and bang... -
Myspace Contacts- Can they be legitimate?

MIDI From Motif to MPC200XL
make sure that your settings on the motif are correct also. go to utility. then go to midi. set sequence from internal to midi. i don't have my motif in front of me so i'm drawing a blank. i'm out of town. but i believe if you set that you should be good. once you get that, your tracks will act... -
Shopping Your Beats
5th, you're right, i see your point and when i first started producing, my man told me the same thing. someone comes to your spot and sees a bunch of lights, keys, buttons, etc. it gives the impression that you know what you're doing. but, i've seen cases where cats would have this whole big... -
Shopping Your Beats
you don't neccessarily have to own an "mpc" or "motif" to have hot tracks. i know cats that don't own any of those that will crush a lot of dudes that do have those items. that's the problem now, everyone with an "mpc" and "protools" think they are producers. i'm not dogging the "mpc" and the... -

Software/hardware Production
make sure if you get a dell that it has a good soundcard in it because those cats "jerked" me. my has a little latency, not too bad but still it's noticeable. thank god i only use that laptop when i travel. i only use it to make "scratch" tracks when i can't be around the "mpc". still, i should... -
Musical Inspirations & Influences
old hip hop...gangstarr, nice and smooth, lords of the underground, etc. also some old soul...otis redding, dorothy moore, etc. but my biggest inspiration is my younger brother who just started making beats six months ago. i let him hold my mpc 2000xl and he's killing it right now. he's still in... -
i'm having trouble making basslines
like slick said, you could go with the melody or the drums. but you should try to keep it simple because putting to much on the bassline can take away from the drums. that's in some cases, not all... -
does anyone ever feel like giving up?
to all of those that feel giving up. you got to surround yourself with winners that are trying to accomplish the same goal. we know that this music stuff don't happen overnight, so you have to be around people that believe. i was thinking about quitting at some point. once i got rid of the dead... -
Mpc 2000 - slicing
check out mpc-tutor. it should be able to help you with that. i was told that you can't slice with the 2000. i know the 2000xl and up can. i'd check that site and make sure. i mean i could be wrong. -
Shopping Your Beats
that's word!!! if you do whole albums and the overall songs are hot, cat's will check for you. don't just get an "mc so and so" to rhyme, find a solid artist. i can't stress that enough. the thing with instrumentals are a lot of artist will here them and not know what to do with it. not saying... -
