I was wondering if I buy an mpc 1000 is there any point to keeping my fl studio software? If not I was thinking of selling to to get a couple dollars toward the mpc.
There's nothing you can do on a MPC that you can't do in FL. If you want a MPC might as well just get a MPD and take advantage of a big computer screen.
what many don't get about using hardware is that its more often about workflow, comfort, ease of use and usually less about the computer screen and features. Idk maybe because I am a hardware enthisist who jumps back and forth often my views on the matter may be different.
mpc screens are more than adequate though. then again I come from them big ass ensoniq and s3000 screens which are big for hardware and i still chopped everything by ear so having a screen is so so for me. Honestly I prefer chopping by ear less hassle.That's how I feel about keyboards, but with sampling it just seems like more of a hassle to me. Either you sample/chop on the tiny MPC screen, or do it on the computer and transfer it to the MPC; but if your gonna do that you might as well just do it all in a DAW IMO. That's why I sold my MPC 1000. I prefer hardware/software hybrids like the Maschine or the Virus TI, and some of the Arturia synths. I would love to see more stuff like that.
