    Pissed off beat maker

    MPCs come with a CD with basic sounds on them but nothing internal. Syncrotech has a $40 multi reader I had installed on my XL. Go to www.midicase.com for info on installation procedures. Not quite sure on if it will work on a regular 2000 though.

    when did you start producing?

    Started Dj'ing in '89 with 2 mix-match turntables, mixer and a house stereo, all from the pawn shop. Started making beats in '92 with a Tascam 4 track, Yamaha sampler, and Boss DR-550. Worked with local acts, nothing big. Gave it all up in '96. Started back in '02 with the beats and DJ'ing...

    Favorie flipped Sample

    The beat is hot, but it ain't flipped. That is actually 2 loops. The drums from Rapper Dapper Snapper, and the main loop is from the Mysterious Flying Orchestra.

    Gospel

    We got next! It's easy to rock a hip hop concert in a church. There are tons of cats who used to be hip hop artists and once their life changed, their content changed. If in the concert there was profanity and the 'video type of hip hop' then naw, that ain't happening. The fact is, this...

    Newmark CDX vs SL-DZ1200

    THe CDX's are a monster to carry around. If you competing for Mr. Olympia though, it's not a big deal. LOL!

    Newmark CDX vs SL-DZ1200

    Not quite. Again, feature-wise, it has all of the elements but one thing, a 12" platter. Unless you are using the CDX, it is like you are scratching on a 45. Not a big deal to new DJ's but to us old heads, it's a world of difference. I'm only a little biased, though. I had the denon...

    Newmark CDX vs SL-DZ1200

    I got the Numarks and I've tried the Technics. As far as cutting and scratching and the so close to vinyl feel, NUMARK hands down. The Techinics feel is very loose and artificial. The only problem on the Numark is that there has been problems with mp3 playback and a long loading time, so it...

    Using Control Surfaces with a DAW

    I use a Tascam FW1884 and it works seamlessly with Sonar. I don't know what your $$ are like, but it definitely works for me.

    awful tunrtable buzz/hum

    Grounded There should be a wire coming from the turntable, and a screw on the back of your mixer. That grounds the turntable and should cut the hum/hiss.

    Alot of producers don't add cuts these days.

    Hey Mr. DJ I still say the 'hook' killed the DJ. Everybody thinks that they have to have a catchy hook to make a hit these days. I still add cuts to most of my songs, whether over/under a hook, or I'll add a bridge and get loose. That's what cats look for when they come to me for beats, and...

    MPC 2000Xl SCSI to USB ??? PLEASE HELP?

    It won't work. The PC won't have any drivers to read the MPC as a device. Good idea, but not possible.

    MPC EDitor

    There are 2 programs, one for PC and one for Mac. I've got MPC Editor which is for PC. I couple that with Recycle and it's priceless for taking the time out of program creation and editing. You can cop it at www.mpc2000xl.com and get the full version for I think $30

    What mpc do you use?

    2000xl w/8 outs, one of my partners has a 3000 and the other a 2000. I like my xl better because that's what I learned on. The group had a MPC 60 back in '97, but I wasn't making beats then and didn't mess with it.

    mpc2000xl users - what other hardware equipment do u cats combine ur mpcs with?

    Interview with Buckwild

    The thing is you may not know how to play a particular instrument but know the sound you want, you get somebody in who does, you are still the 'producer' of the track. Take Quincy Jones for example, he gets the producer credit, but doesn't play all of the instruments, he orchestrates the sound...
