Just trying to find out how many tracks consist in some of the hiphop production these days.... The Reason is Because some Samplers Like The (Mpc) has 64 tracks, Where As Though The (Mc-808) Has 16 Tracks... And I Was Just Wondering Do Some Of You Guys Think 16 Tracks Is Enough To Make A Complete Hiphop Track.... Or Do You Think In The Case Of Someone Having A (Roland Mc-808) They Should Maybe Add A (Midi KeyBoard)


Thank For Your Time...

Some People Often Say "A Midi Keyboard Will Take Up Some Of The Slack When There Is Minimal Tracks To Work With" Not My Saying...

But I Do Want To Know What You Think, Far Ass Working With 16 Tracks... Do You Think A Proffessional Style Hiphop Track Can Be Me Made With 16 Tracks In This Day In Age....(Since Everybody Is So Spoiled With Th 64 Tracks That The Mpc Has To Offer)

i never really use many tracks on the mpc just because i can, i dont think a lot of people actually use 64 tracks

I can make a beat in 3 tracks if I'm tryna keep it simple, but it all depends on how much you wanna switch it up and be complex.. I'm working on a track right now that has about 8 or 9 tracks, but by the time I'm finished I'll probably have around 16 or more, but 16 is enough.

Well in sampling The least amounts of tracks I have used is two stereo tracks.
Combined two samples and got my whole beat in two tracks.
The track in question is on my myspace. Its in the mp3 player. Its called Mathematics Ft. Mos Def.

im usually done after 8 trx... vocals are added afterwards. just bcuz u have alot of trx doesnt mean a sound has to be on each one.
