    Saving to MPC

    I'm not that familiar with the OS on the 1000 but on the 4000... All your samples are in programs which become part of what's called a Multi file. On the 4K if you save your Multi file and your sequences, you've saved all your work. Does the 1K use a similar structure? If so then all you...

    Mbox/Pro Tools Users??????.....

    I do all my sequencing on my Fantom and my MPC (The MPC serves as the central sequencer). I then track it all into Pro Tools and record vocals. Then I'll use Pro Tools to EQ it and engineer it or I'll take the session to a mastering studio and do it up there.

    motif 6 or triton or...

    The MOTIF is a synthesizer. You have to learn and master the synthesis capabilities of your unit to maximize your sound canvas. Learn how to work filters (A,D,C,R) and envelopes. It's not about having more sounds or the latest synth out there. It's about using what you have. As an example...

    How much of ur beats is keepers?

    I keep them all saved in my MPC. You never know when you may come back to it someday. I try to do it like 'Pac. He had all kinds of shit recorded; most of them we didn't even here until after his death. It's music you're doing...it might not be complete do you but you never know when you...

    Lil' Kim Convicted of Perjury.

    Oh no, say it ain't so. Lil' Kim's been convicted with sentencing to come in June. 3 counts with a possible five years for each. I wonder if she'll be able to hold it down even though she'll be incarcerated like Tupac amd Shyne did. I'm just sad cause I'm sure she won't be looking the same...

    The official 50 Cent thread

    I heard the interview just now. 50 presented himself like a true businessman and I think his decision was correct. You listen to the people that bring you in...especially if you're just up and coming like Game is...or was.

    What are the best Hip Hop Drum Kits?

    Most drum hits you pull from the Net are crap, until you start tweaking them till you get the sound you want.

    MPC4000 Users, OS 1.70 is out.

    That it is Holmz. This update is supposed to enable a lot ot the features that were marketed to come with the machine but were never enabled. I did install it and already I find my shifting between sequences to be smooth and I'm not having any MIDI delays anymore. Even if you didn't...

    MPC4000 Users, OS 1.70 is out.

    Maybe you know already or maybe you don't but it's here. OS 1.70 for the MPC 4000. They said it would be out around this time, they actually kept their schedule...surprising. I'm going to load it up at the end of the week. They've been hyping it as the be all and end all of OS updates...

    Makre sure you get the Reference Manual from the AKAI PRO site. The in-box user manual just skims the functions of the 4000.
