Im currently stuck on either choosing the ddm4000 which a mixer but can also sample and the MPC5000 which is a sampling machine. Theres pros and cons between them and i need to know whats a better option for me in the long run. I like how the ddm4000 has 4 channels and has rooms for effects but i don't know if it requires me to have turntables to play songs and sample them. The MPC5000 is a full on sampling machine and i like the screen it has but the price is expensive. It ranges from prices of 1,000$-2,000$. Its also hard to find in stores. Has anyone have any experience with either of these? How do you like it? Any flaws? Also if theres any other sampling machines i should check out, please tell me.
