I dont know what you mother****s are talking about when it comes to a MPC and Maschine, I mean Maschine is cool, Im going to buy one, but Im a MPC owner and user, I had a MPD32 and a MPK49 now I have a MPC3000 and a Yamaha Motif ES6, now...Using the MPK and MPD together with Reason gave me that MPC feel until I bought a MPC, my 1st MPC was a MPC2500....I freaked that and figured out how to use it and make beats and coming from Software, just the sound, sampling, and everything that makes a MPC an MPC just is better, who wants to sit in front of a computer and play with something that emulates the sound of the MPC60? I mean seriously, you guys talk about Maschine, but its trying to emulate the MPC that started it alll....I mean seriously, I have a 3000 and Im using it with Pro Tools and the Motif, dope ass setup, I couldnt be more happier, **** software, I mean people who buy software based programs to make beats were like me at a certain point...Cant afford hardware, I mean who has 2000+ to drop on a MPC5000 right now...I mean I dont want one but you know what I mean, so **** it since you cant afford the MPC you buy a MPD 16 18 24 or 32 or whatever and when it really comes down to it...its all trying to get that MPC feel...where do you think MIDI hit pad controllers got their concept from? MPC's....In the 90's do you think there were MPD's and Maschines? **** NO, Niggas hopped on Tritons and MPC's...so please get the **** outta here with that BS about Software being better then owning a MPC...

I doubt the "sound" is different. Honestly I think that's a load of crap. They both trigger a sound. And if it's the same damn "sound file", it's the same sound. I doubt the MPC adds "warmth" or anything the way certain hardware compressors do. If i'm mistaken please let me know, i don't use an MPC... but I just doubt it honestly "adds" anything just by running a sound through it.
The only thing I think it "adds" is the "feel" of it. Like for instance, I own an MPD18. I used to program my drums on my midi keyboard. Now I strictly program them on the MPD.. just because of the feel. Honestly.. it's the same sound, and the same thing is achieved no matter which I use... but I honestly get an "extra feeling" when I use the MPD18. I feel like the drums are hot. And if I did the same drums on my keyboard... they don't feel like they bump the same. I would suspect that's the only "added sound" you get when comparing MPC and Maschine.
Youve never used a MPC before, the converters and effects that are on the MPC are way different then programming drum sounds into your music program. I used to own a MPD32 and I used that with Reason but when you run the same sound through a MPC, its way different, but youve never used a MPC, so you wouldnt be able to relate with what Im talking about...

I've used MPC's since 1999 and recently purchased a Maschine and for my work flow the Maschine wins hands down for me. I hated tracking out my beats on the MPC to pro tools and now on the Maschine its done with 2 simple steps. I still love MPC's but the now its much easier for me to go to another studio and take my Maschine with me with no problem. I've also done beats in my car.
See...now thats cool, Im buying a Maschine myself...I just want it for when it becomes compatible with Pro Tools...I wanna use the Maschine inside of Pro Tools for sampling because it reads REX2 files...thats ill as ****, thats what sold me on the Maschine, I can do the same thing with the MPC by chopping the samples in Recycle and loading them into the 3000, but really, I just want the Maschine to have...
YES...I want a Maschine but I never said it was better then a MPC because its not...**** Maschine, I dont need it but I want it to have it just to make my studio look better, LMAO....
