Silence your critics
Hello everyone I'm new to your forum here but have been reading over your posts for quite a while. I've come to a cross roads and was wondering if someone could shed some light down for me. I've been using pro tools and reason quite effectively for the past three years, i write in reason and dump to pro tools to mix. My problem with reason is I HATE the sequencer and quantize functions, which boggs down my work flow. Also to sample into Reason I first have to import sounds from my vinyl to pro tools, bounce , open in recycle, chop and save, then open in reason to play this KILLS me. And if for whatever reason i don't get the chops I want, I have to go BACK to recycle and re chop, save, and so on so on. I've found an mv8800 for $900 dollars and an mpc 2500 for $750! Both in great condition at a store. I've read that the mv feels too much like a daw in itself and is complicated to learn, my overall work flow goal is to sample in and write my stuff on the machine then export my tracks to pro tools to mix and master. Any ideas?
