At the beginning of the day, I'm gonna use what I feel comfortable with, and you should use what you feel comfortable with. You can't just come out and say this or that is the best and tell everybody else they're wrong if they use something else. If you think the MPC is the best, that only means that it's the best for you. It ain't best for me no more. I've moved on, and obviously so have a lot of other people.

Use what you feel comfortable with.

:rofl: Moved on from the MPC topic or you are subliminally suggesting I should move on from the MPC yet you try to tell me I shouldn't try and force others to the MPC? LOL

My dude there is not one time I said others should keep their MPC, do what you want, I SAID FOR ME IT'S STAYING IN MY STUDIO! I got the "nah you should get rid of it, it's old technology, keep up with the times, controllers is this or that". Not one time have you seen me say one should keep their MPC, I said I am not getting rid of mines so I was only talking about me, while others are trying to tell me to get rid of mines. How you going to flip that on me bruh? Even you did that same thing you're claiming I did. But I will move on far as this convo.


What's new with this new Reason 5 sampler?

 
The sampling feature is really clean, all of the samplers that you were used to using, you can now sample ad edit that sample on them. I think it's awesome.

that's cool for you, that you sold yours. Man i still have my dr 5 in a plastic bag that was my first drum machine lol only way i get rid of my mpc is if it broke down, and bet i will be on ebay to get another one. I hope i could get one for $150 and in mint condition lol

as you know i just got hollywood strings, i can't use that in record so ummmmmmmm fastest way and best for me is mpc+protools. Now you get it? Lol

what's up with the sampling features in this reason joint? Enough of the mpc mines is staying in my studio.

the sampling features in reason is crazy you sample right on the spot anything you want as long as your routing is setup right. Pretty much like a mpc in sample mode. You edit the sample right on the spot as well. Crossfade, loop,reverse normalize all in the sample editor plus reason will save it in the audio pool if you want to use that sample later on a different device such as the nn19 or nnx19 or redrum.

i think reason sequencer with the regroove is tighter than the mpc but that's just me. All you really have to do is set the groove to mpc 55% quantize at 50% adn timing to 120 and you got it made.

Telling me that is like telling a good ass pancake it's a good ass pancake lol :rofl: Yo, I am with you on that, I know that Reason is tight on the sequencer lol why you think I have it? lol You know I have said a million times that Reason/Record is a virtual MPC lol Again why you think I am rocking it, and not rocking live or Cubase etc. I did the Live thing, and Cubase thing, didn't like it. But Record and Reason, AWHHHHHHHHHHHHH MY DUDE I AM IN HEAVEN lol So I will agree on that point hell and I hope Record/Reason gets better sequencing than the MPC that would be great, I am not going to argue over that :)

does it allow you to sample prerecorded material?

ie: if i play something in a media player will the sampler record the source?

When I said you should get rid of it, I was trying to give you a hint about something.

I also told you that I was joking about that.

That goes without saying, that's why people went to the MPC instead of going to other PRODUCTS. Can you name these programs that has tighter TRUSTY sequencing than the MPC?

Well, the vast majority of music producers of the last 30 years used something besides an MPC to sequence their music. Many people used programs like Logic and Cubase to sequence hardware. Many people used keyboard workstations and XOX sequencers and no MPCs whatsoever, many people liked standalone sequencers like the MC-50/80 stuff from Roland and the QY series from Yamaha. My point is that more people making music did not use the MPC than did because they preferred something else. Now, if you had said MPC was the "best" (rather, the most favored) by people that make rap beats, then I would not have disputed the claim.

Personally, I liked my XP-60's sequencer better than my mpc2000xl's sequencer (and eventually dumped it for a SP-808EX because the sampler was better than the MPC), and I rarely ever used my MPC for sequencing for the time I had it. Of course, the now old MV-8000/8800 had a sequencer that kills the MPC's sequencer, and I used it over everything else before I switched to using only software.

Heck, Project5 had a fantastic sequencer and Cakewalk's "swing" functions are a secret surprise to a lot of people.

But like you said, at the end of the day, the music better be good. Every sequencer can sequence bad music. :)

You would need to use some sort of audio routing software similar to Soundflower by Cycling 74 for Mac.
 
Well.....Reason & Record had sparked my interest previously. I now use FL Studio primarily due to my lack of an audio interface at this point and time. EMU PCMIA cards are built like shit! The 1212m was solid though. I went through 3 PCMIA before saying f@*k it. I'm currently saving for a Firestudio Project. I think the Presonus One looks very promising to record my workstation and sampler into the computer.

Back to the subject..... Reason Record combo has officially peaked my interest with the new sampling features and I'm copping it after I cop the Firestudio.

trust where the f*** are you getting your info from the mpc has been hailed as the holy grail for sequencing. I dont know where you get in the past 30 years because for the past 10 to 15 years is been know that mpc is the king of sequencing. Most people use the daws to record the audio from the mpc sequence. And i'm project 5 sucks balls. Your like the only person i know who talks about project 5.

got cha thanks.

although i guess if it really came down to it i could sample anything i needed via the DI of my audio interface.

You have to expand your horizons beyond urban electronic music. Non Hip Hop and R&B producers have been using other sequencers for YEARS. Countless producers that dont use MPCs for sequencing, or never used an MPC at all. Heck even within hip hop tons of hits were made on SP-12/1200s ASR-10s/EPS(16) etc. HIP HOP producers and R&B producers mainly held the MPC sequencer up as the sequencer of choice. Not the case for other genres.
 
well.. I use cubase now, and I have access to allot of plug-in's
so really no point to use reason again

One thing us older folks like about this sort of thing is that when you sample directly with software, you can still see everything else in the background. On hardware samplers like the MPC/MV, the LCD is filled up and you can't glance at other stuff while sampling...

I think you are missing the point of what he is saying. He will not have second thoughts because he is utilizing both right now. Also please read what he is saying about have a back up system. Computers do crash, hard drives die, motherboards have issues. Why not keep the MPC for back up if his computer system goes down? Seems reasonable to me, regardless of what new MPC like features are in R5.
