AKAI MPC 5000

Hey there. Im using Live, Logic, and have used FL. I like the MPCs, but dont know them really. I like em, because of theyr all-in-one and "everything is touchable" concept. But i think, you can do it all in Live, as good as on a MPC, maybe you can do it even better in Live, because its a DAW that allows you things to do that the MPC doesnt? i dont know. can you tell me, what a MPC can do, that Live cant?? it would be interesting, would like to know about MPCs usability... greetz

it depends on what kind of music you're making, if you're makin sample based music, there is nothing better then a mpc, becouse you have perfect control over your samples, and its also just the sound, the mpc makes the sound of the samples after you recorded it better (my opinion).
i have used ableton live for a long time, but when i switched to the mpc, it was like...wow... one word is enough to describe it:) i make sample based hiphop so for me its the perfect machine to make music with

ah ok, i make synth based electronic stuff, and also a little bit hip hop, both sample and synth based. but dont you have the same full controll over your samples, when you load them in your battery? you can sample as well to your pc, or not? i believe you, the MPC gives you fuckin nice control about sample-snap-shots etc, but with a MPD and battery you can do all the things in Live too, dont?? ... i dont know, but i cant believe, that the MPC can do things, that Live and Vsts cant..

The DJ of Linkin Park use something like this too- look at ``Numb Encore`` at 0:13

Der Dj von Linkin Park benutzt so was (ähnliches) auch- bei ``Numb Encore`` in 0:13

i want it!

I wonder about these. i never used a mpc i been on  one before and seen people on them. its alot of commands. i use the mv-8800 its great but lacks some features the mpc 5000 has but i still choose my mv-8800 because its what i started on.

Should I go with the mpc5000 or mpk49?

this fucking thing is incredible. want one so bad, hopefully soon

i want it
