Sampler advice, SP 1200 related

[E_Daily]

ALL HAIL 3000

I just dumped my 2000xl after being pissed for weeks due to famous missing lines in the display.


My new 3k

it gooooodd. Those filters are just dope! The echo mixer is kinda ill too...





I wish I could get a sp to fuck wit aswell, but I guess the ASR is my next purchase.


Word on the emax, its a secret SP for those who don't need the seq and faders...


The secret EMU RUN screen will make all your lame beats sound like pure fire.


believe me mayyneeeee

No built in time clock (and thus no MTC) ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

This machine is always quoted as the best and most versatile Sampler/Synth ever build. Anyone who's using the sequencer though should reconsider their intelligence

A sequencer w/ 8 tracks...pffff howabout mpc 99tracks? MTC? MC? MMC? YESMPC
Best of both worlds

Not a great deal to add. Apart from to say that after having used reason and various software / sequencers, I finally got my SP1200 and S950 a few years ago. I never look back.

The punch and weight of the SP for drums is kinda a unique quality. Certainly the 2000 which I also have, can't deliver the same punch.

The only thing that's going to come close to that sound is the MPC60 or 60II - if you love your grit and grime, you'd be a fool to give up those machines for more sampling time.

As others have already said, add a computer with pro tools and use it to multitrack your SP compositions. sampling time no longer an issue.

peace.

If you can't afford a computer to multitrack you can get one of these.

Fostex VF80EX 8-Track Recorder with CD Burner

Its only like $599 and you can mix and burn CD's. Obviously not studio quality, but its easy to use and not very expensive.

Like thes said, avoid the 2000 , it has a dope interface but a thin sound.

NO DOUBT. I am so sick of this MPC 2000 it ain't even funny. I've been trying to fool myself for years into thinking that this toy is okay... it is not. If I can't get a 3000 or 60 at a good price I'm just gonna blow the dust offa my daam s-950 in a minute.
YO PHIL,DOES THE 2000 CRASH ON YOU ALOT?OR ARE YOU JUST TIRED OF THE SOUND?
It's the sound. Waaaaay too damn thin. I was just listening to some old sh*t I did with the 950 and I'd forgotten how much fuller the sound is than the 2000. The drums are just much thicker coming out of the 950.
When I first got the MPC 2000 I noticed that it made the drums sound all plastic and sh*t, but everybody was saying that this was the new industry standard, so I bought into the hype. I did like the stereo samples and the ease of use.... it had a lot of features that I didn't have with my former set up, so I went along with it and just got used to the clean, sterilized, thin sound. I've finally woken up out of my coma, though. I want me a 3000, the haell with this suck ass 2000.

BTW, is any familiar with the Akai S5000 samplers? How would you say the sound compares to the MPC2000 and 3000? I actually have a 5000 that i got for cheap not too long ago, but I haven't had the time to work it out yet (and probably won't be able to mess with it for awhile longer).

i got one of those phill. i dont like it. im selling it.

What do you not like about it, mesh? The sound or the fuctionality? I know I was trying to figure out the basics when I first got it and it was nowhere nearly as easy to use as any of the other equipment I've had. Since then I just haven't been able to get back into it. I'm sure with time I could get used to it, but it's always better when the creative experience can be fun and easy to get into IMO.

 

[mesh]

yeah, thats pretty much it. its just a pain in the ass to deal with and it didnt really have any redeeming features for me to keep it. the 2000xl has plenty of sampling time for me, so really the s5000 has just been collecting dust since i picked it up about 3 years ago.

i had a 3000 but had to sell it. i would like to get on back. i needed money and i knew i could get more for it than i could the xl, so off it went. sad day that was.

i can make my drums sound like any other sampler out there using this.

to each his own buddy...

and as far as professionalism goes, there are some heavy cats out there using this gear,

i dare you to tell them that they are "unprofessional".

I guarantee you, drums sampled on the ASR-10 will take 2 shits on some weak ass MPC drums. Yes,

Far as it shittin on anything, if your tracking your super fat snares & double doo-doo kicks to digital this whole argument is irrelevant...
I guarantee you.
Drums tracked to a tape machine thru nice analog board/pre's will shit on every single one of your machines tracked in proTools.

Naah you aint full of shit homie!
You told them bout the Emax!

Secret menus & shit hidden? tell me!

I love my mpc 2000xl but I still rock my drums through a s950

alot of people complain about the cold sound of the 2000/xl a nice tube pre-amp will do you nice..
