HELP!!!!!!!!!
Can anyone advise on the correct set up for MPC2000XL(i dont have the 8 outs), Turntable & Mackie 16 ch track mixer?
I wanna have track 1 for my keyboard sounds, Track 2 for the MPC Drums, Tarck 3 shold be for turntable sampling no?
im a little lost on the connection between Turntable, Mixer & MPC..
rite now i have my Turntable directly into my MPC and MPC to mixer and i dont feel thats totally rite.. shouldn't turntable be on a separate track?
Pls Help!
I put my turntable in the mixer but I dont have an mpc so....
my mixer goes into my sound card on my computer.I plug the turntable into the mixer and then use the extra mixer channel for my SP404.
everything into the mixer
mixer out into speakers or receiver or computer.you pick.
ummmmm thanks...... anyone else??
naw man aint nobody else

Don't see why anyone needs more than a good soundcard, FL and a midi keyboard for hip hop beats.
sometimes when you're starting out you just gotta shut off your internet and mess with the damn machine
it can get tempting to watch tutorial video after video until you realize it's been several hours and you still have the same skill set
loool @ him either way.Quote:

And we have a winner.Quote:

In the end you're playing parts of wav files over eachother.
dude its just that you keep on with it like you havent even tried to do things hands on yourself.Its like you are looking for an answer to life when you ask how to hook your gear up the way you are.
some of the stuff you are asking is pretty straight forward and you should just try some trial and error in my opinion.
....but like Levar Burton - "dont take my word for it"

Im not saying that dude said you cant just use fl and a midi. Im saying about the experienced ear.
dont hold bias here buddy.lets be real.

Technically there's nothing you can't do with the MPC you can't with a PC. I'm coming from the technical perspective here. The sound output all depends on what happens with the mastering and mixing. The only difference is psychoacoustics.
Feel free to trust him over me, but I'd be surprised if I had two beats here one coming straight from the MPC the other out of a PC and you could tell which one is which.
"who is and isnt mixing their shit right."
perhaps I shoulda been more specific from the get go and not have complicated this in terms of using FL and a midi.I fell of course of the point of the experienced ear when it comes to the mixing process.
I dont mean to come of like I know it all or know something that nobody else does.my bad for twisting things up if I did.
I forgot what my point was and what we're talking about, so I'll drop it and just post a picture of something I like to mix.

since you say zshare then Im guessing you want streaming. Hit up Box.net for that.
if you dont care about streaming then use sharabee.com. Sharabee creates links for over 5 different other Upload spots.So say if you upload to sharabee then your file can be dl'd thru
DepositFiles
•RapidShare
•Badongo
•Megaupload
•zSHARE
•
by just upping to sharabee
for album DL's I would use sharabee but for streaming Box.net is nice.
make sure you are upping mp3's for streaming as well cuz a wav will take forever to upload and it also is a pain in the as to stream.
hope this helps^
Thanks that helps out a lot.. I can figured the rest out then.. lataz!!
ummm.. wats MIDI??
try www.usershare.net also, it's downloading and an audio stream in one with a simultaneous file upload feature. I like it because when you download it doesn't re-direct you to 1 or more other pages just to get the damn file, there's a button right there to download once you access the link. I know alot of music blogs that use it.Quote:

Oh yeah!!! good lookin out Brandon!!! bandcamp is the shit I FORGOT! I aint signed up for it yet but got it on bookmark for later.shit is real nice though for showcasing. Better than Box.net.
soundcloud is okay
I'm trying out the user share right now and it's uploading a little slow...
I the sharing faster ??

anybody with an sp know the best way to make sure your drums don't get off track? i tried usin that quantize and it works okay but when theres a part where i hit the drum 2 or 3 times real fast the quantize fucks it all up
you just gotta practice and play it right.
make sure that you beginning and end marks are nice and tight too.
also after you make a pattern and you have lag ,try bumping the bpm up 1 or down 1.
I read confirmation of all the above , in the sp forums.

Im not 100% percent sure if this would work but have you tried recording to the sequencer?Quote:

Or
just take some time and go threw and do it by hand where the Quantize messed up
anybody use a 303 and a 404 together?
For all you producers who wanna make your beats sounds full and have life,get Ozone Izotope VST.shit works wonders after a good mixing.
For those of you who dont have Ozone...try it out.

^ do you know how to get an authorization code for that?
nm i finally figured it out...thanks man!! this is a great plugin.
i already use izotope vinyl a lot....well just got it a couple weeks ago but i cant imagine not having it now lol
i just gotta say gotsssdaaamn!! again
this shit makes a HUGE difference
i used to use the FL Studio Gooderizer VST cuz im a n00b who doesn't know how to tamper with the EQ n all that, but this shit is tons better
even though it eats the shit out of my CPU
I had that same problem using it FL Studio. A lot of presets I can't even run and listen to. I have to export it to hear the end result, then go back and fuck with it.Quote:
