sik music man, how long have you had your mpc for? ive had mine for a bit but i find it hard to make anything really "mind blowing" with it, i pretty much just use software these days, theres not enough FX on the mpc500 and you can only use two of the given effects at any one time so it sucks cos i like to EQ everything! but i dig your stuff, its mad

[ukaefman]

a year and a couple of months. If I have to use EQ I can do it after recording track by track to PC. When You need to put more than 2 effects?

[treblemc]

well thats what i meant by EQ its an effect, if i have more then two samples - thats a time when i need more then two effects, i also like to put reverb on my snare drums but then a different amount of reverb on different instruments and stuff. some beats i wont use any FX others require heaps, it all depends on the nature and style of the beat

[treblemc]

(plus if you use your computer to EQ your beats it defeats the purpose of owning an mpc in the first place, you shoulda just bought software lol)

[ukaefman]

Main reason that I bought 500 is battery supply. Im traveling a lot by bus, so I can use that time to do something creative. And Im sure that good software like Reason with help of ReWired VSt plugins and good audio interface is most powerfull production solution ever. And very comfortable. Although I think that computer monitor kills creativity :)

[treblemc]

yeh, the mpc500 is great for its mobility, i dont know too much about the statement that the computer monitor kills creativity, im a million times more creative using software then i am using the mpc because i have much more stuff at the tip of my fingers (Well.. the click of a mouse lol) i think apathy kills creativity haha im not saying either way is better then the other, but im just saying the downside to the mpc is that it is restricted by its limited features whereas software is expandable

[treblemc]

(however the up-side to the MPC500 is that its alot more fun to make a beat where you can get funky with it and tap out your sounds on the pads then it is to try and get funky whilst clicking a mouse, the hands on thing is what i like most about the mpc) in my opinion it needs a built in tuner that tells you what notes the sounds coming out of it are, cos its way to time consuming to harmonise other instruments to a sample that you dont know the musical notation of

[ukaefman]

agree. I often turn my monitor off when I record midi events. It is my feeling about using PC sequencers like cubase or reason. Watching vertical line which shows you where you are and little rectangles which are representing bars and beats killing MY creative thinking. I made too much beats, so now I have to run away from my habbits. You know what I mean, 1/4 bar snare, 3/4 snare, hihats each 1/8 of bar...

@ukaefman and with the mpc 5000 all these silly little problems go away, u can do it all with the 5000, heck i can plug a mic in and start rapping, a guitar and start recording, master everything with the HD recorder. and the major difference with a pc and an mpc is sound quality. also the sequencer on an mpc is a great deal better then most software base seq. and if many people didnt notice most softwares now give u the option to have a imitated mpc swing.... why? because its so dam GOOOOOOOOOD

[ukaefman]

@kroser1983 Im disagree. Mpc swing? I thought that swing comes from producer, not from gear. Sound quality? With good interface you can achive outstanding quaility with pc, trust me. And then If you want it to sound like analog you should get analog, tube compressor. I didnt have chance to look at 5000`s sequencer, so I cannot say anything about it. Im Propellerheads Reason fan, so I learn how to use seq there very fast, I can very quickly write down my ideas there.

[ukaefman]

@kroser1983 furthermore the way that 500`s works its good for me, it is plain, simple banging on pads :) without any fireworks and stuff that makes you distracted. 5000 have bulit in synth... I will be very happy to have those :)

[KnownAzTAF]

Yo' ukaefman cool beats u made..really good:)Peace

[selfinflict3]
