Should I buy an MPC 2000xl from my friend for around 400, or the Renaissance for 450, or should I just get a maschine?

Or should I just give the fuck up on my dreams?

Your dreams of being a colossal faggot?

It's like I'm back on /b/ in 2008 again

>>54728459
/b/ has better threads than this shitpost.

>>54728575
That cuts really deep anon

bump

I'm gona bite. If you plan on producing music maschine is goat afaik
>>
>>54728881
I prefer maschine for playing loops complimentary to my dj set
>>
>>54728404
2000xl all the way!
>>
>>54728422
How is owning a mpc make you a fag....or are you upset he isn't asking about gentoo?
>>
avoid maschine it's a meme unless you just want it for its pads

use ableton
>>
Is ableton live not the real ableton? Is there a vanilla version or is live it?

Also are there any free software for midi control devices that /g/ recommends? Ive been considering making a partition for dynobolic os...
>>
>>54729416
What other fucking version of ableton do you see?
>>
>>54728404
All the samplers with trigger pads are entirely replaceable with any other velocity sensitive midi controller. You'll end up getting better if you just learn how to properly sample and process in the box anyways. You can easily emulate the "grit" of digital samplers just by studying their hardware and using similar time/pitch changing techniques because there were only a few methods they could use on early hardware.

Use pygame and program your own. It's a lot easier than you'd think.

You should just use your money to buy computer parts

Tsk tsk...

Now everyone in this thread has the same thing in common with everyone who knows you RL.

>>54729572
So ur saying I shud just go with http://www.amazon.com/Arturia-MiniLab-Sensitive-Universal-Controller/dp/B01BVAMDPM
or

>>54728404
is that something in a doctors office?
>>
MPCs are obsolete. Buy any midi controller and pirate Ableton.
>>
>>54728404
>not getting an sp1200

this guy
>>
>>54729771
I know it's obsolete, I want it despite that, thing is a classic for a reason.
>>
>>54729731
Yeah. Either one is going to do the same job. If you look up how to emulate the samplers you'll probably get some very accurate results.
>>
>>54729714
>being retarded

hurr durr

>>54729988
But neither are gonna make my dick with the knowledge that I'm using an MPC

hardware fags, everyone

>>54728404
Buy the one from your friend, and then also get the Renaissance later if you want.
You can have both. Don't let your dreams be dreams.

it's not shit quality

it has a certain warmth to it after I ran it through hardware :^)
>>
>>54730132
The algorithms used for stretching audio vary from machine to machine based on the chips the manufacturers used. It's fairly easy to distinguish at anything more than double or half the frequency. The ADC/DAC process also changes based on the machine and not all inputs/outputs end up in 16-bit 44k for samplers. You have definitely at some point listened to music made by someone who used sampler grit as part of their creative process. It's incredibly common to do so, actually.

Thank you Shia, I knew you browsed /g/
They said it was a joke, that you didn't care, but I knew you cared. I knew you would watch over us.
