Mpc 2000xl vs Mpc One (The Good, The Bad, The Ugly)

In this video we get into the good, the bad and the ugly of these two famous drum machines-- the mpc 2000xl and mpc one. These two machines have been my weapons of choice for the past 15 years or more! Ive made a career with these machines and I want to share my experience with you.

Nah 4real. Wise to Learn from and listen to the people that’s actually doing it and getting the result(s) that you want.

[@robertprince2651]

Man, I started eyeballing MPC's around 2002, it was the 2000XL. After years later I finally ditched Fruity Loops & Reason for the MPC One.

[@soutronamir]

You should give the 2500 a try - I came from the 2000 and didn't feel like I really missed anything when I made the switch. But gained faster processing - no messin with floppies etc improved the usability a lot.

[@LA-mi5up]

That JJOSXL hit different

[@slik_p]

@@LA-mi5up truth

[@eddiewhitcomb]

definitely agree, I've been on the 2500 for a while now and at one point I picked up a 2000 and compared to the 2500 it just doesn't do it for me. I can make any kind of beat and do it fast on the 2500 with JJOS but the 2000 is just missing too much for me. With all the new machines too, I'm just not crazy about all the bells and whistles, I like to keep it simple and just lay everything I do out on the pads.

[@AfferbeckBeats]

Problem with the 2500 is the wheel is awful, so stiff and noisy. Good luck using it at night with other people in the house. And I never liked its ergonomics, having to press the mode button and a pad to get to different menus. With the XL you can park your left hand and do everything on the machine without moving it. But having moved on from both, it's hard going back to the classic MPC workflow, having to separately slice and save and assign every individual piece of audio you want to work with. The modern slice marker with one audio file thing is just a way better way of doing it.

[@beaucoupfuegorecords78]

Yo straight up. I’ve thought the same, he should definitely peep the MPC 2500 with JJOS. That’s my weapon of choice. It’s a perfect balance of old and new. The workflow is perfect and with JJOS it’s a beast. Not trying to plug my channel but if interested @Conductor give it a gander and if anyone has questions about the 25k I’m more than happy to help. Much love and God bless y’all!

[@fredicagoillanoise1309]

Respect Conductor!...I feel you on the "crock pot" analogy...Mine is the Ensoniq ASR 10. I came in the game as Team Ensoniq . My mentor Geno had an EPS 16+ and he let me hold it for a solid month and I learned that machine top to bottom. When the ASR came out I copped it and that was my exclusive machine until 2007 when I got an MPC 1000. Since I've added the MPC One and Maschine Plus to the arsenal . I'm a gearhead...I love machines. I pulled out the ASR and banged out on it last week. I was gonna cop an SP 606 but opted for the MPC 1000.

Video was great. I have two 2kxls maxed out with ram, 8 outs, and zip drives. They were great for their time, but I no longer use them for beat making. It's time consuming and then I'd have to track out the beats and mix them separately. All are dope machines, but i' only use the new machines now.

Ableton Live. i recently got a MPC One and i starting to build with it. i apprectiate the dope videos. again much respect !

I really enjoy the longer videos. but one day could you do a video in your opinion what drum machine you should get ?

You gotta incorporate the XL with a daw. Run the vinyl thru the XL and into the daw and use the One to do the drums. You wont lose that phatness.

[@ProdbyGrimeyred]

[@descendancedenoefilsdadam1028]

@@ProdbyGrimeyred because you don’t use the sequencing capability of the XL only 1/10 of what it’s offer and that you can find in so many cheaper rack samplers. It Will take laptop space on your desk for almost nothing and your production Will be better using straight the One in this case. More cohérent sound signature.

[@ProdbyGrimeyred]

I use a 2500 and a 2000 for different reasons. I use em both in FL. I also run my turntables and mixer thru the 2000 into the 2500. Big difference between the 2 when it comes to sampling. I use the 2500 for the 8-outs and run it into my interface. This way I'm using the 2500 to do drums and assign samples to the mixer of FL or Pro Tools and make the beat live and it's recording live. Saves alot of time and I don't have to sequence anything. Just mix and edit. Those are the times when I'm using a multitude of chops. But whether it's the Mpc or FL I set it up this way to be able to use either or and don't have to disconnect or move anything.

[@descendancedenoefilsdadam1028]

@@ProdbyGrimeyred bs you are a delusionnal Guy that don’t use equipement or even software in a proper way. And 10 month ago you promised that your channel Will be the biggest in hip hop. And nothing. Go find a real work.

[@youtubenatan]

I don't know if any of you know this, but you can go into the menu under preferences, choose general, and on the Vintage Mode selection, you can use the MPC 3000, MPC 60 and the SP1200/SP1200 ring for your main output sound. I usually use the MPC 60 or the SP1200 most of the time. The SP1200 Ring sucks though. Try the other one's out if the drums aren't knocking like you need them to 🌗

[@_boof]

Bro get you the 404mk2, thank me later. Its the equivalent of 2000xl as far as the "interface" aspect youre talking about. I agree. the fact the 404mk2 sold with a more basic interface should tell akai something about that. But we are spoiled with these new MPC's.

[@Hottsauce188]

What a treat this video was. Spoiled us with the length too lol. The spouse/partner video is actually a great idea haha. I always wonder for producers like you who have a studio at home but have a family- do you have set hours where your partner and kids know they can’t disturb you unless it’s like an emergency? Do they ever get resentful of the amount of time you require to be isolated from them and working on your craft? Long comment and you don’t have to answer but I do think it’s an interesting topic. Anyway- salute!

[@Deatg-ek8rf]

Good man!

[@Beatmakinmc]

Some notes for Conductor. WHEN you have the time, try to program the drums on the one but midi out of the one into the 2000xl and trigger the drums from there! Also from what I hear, a 1000 or 2500 with the JJOS is like a bridge between the older MPC and the modern. Dope video, channel and beats man! - Phil A

[@sgtcreasegrease]

was gonna say the same about the 1k/2500. Got a 1k on it with jjos 2xl on it, wanna get a 2500 as a studio companion piece to the 1k. Same exact workflow since the operating systems are the same plus they're compatible with each other, you can load 1k projs up on the 2500, you can put internal storage in 'em both, get a cf to sd adapter... Its really a no brainer tbh

[@NetraamNav]

I started with a 2kxl in 2004. I memorized it in and out. I could type blind on that thing. Saving samples went so fast. Later i bought a mpc 2500. I sold m both to get maschine mk3 in 2020 because it is faster but i missed the mpc so i got a mpc 1000 5 years ago. I ended up using the mpc way more then the maschine so i sold the maschine. It’s something about the mpc that i really like. So i also got a mpc 2500 again. The 1000 and 2500 are the perfect upgrade from the 2kxl. They have all the things that i missed on the 2kxl plus they have the feel of the 2kxl. So win-win.

[@OBDPVCR]

My biggest regret in my music career was buying the MPC 2000XL instead of an SP1200. Everything I LOVED about the sound of Hip-Hop in the early/mid-90's was from the SP1200 or an AKAI sampler with a S950, but those DRUMS and 12-Bit harmonics was what I was chasing. Even tracking your songs out of the MPC into Pro-Tools was painstaking and often resulted in you losing some of the in-box magic due to latency when tracking out the stems. The MPC doesn't really have a sound, and for whatever "swing" you get, I think you're better served with Ableton or another modern equivalent that drastically reduces your time from idea to finished beat/song.

I would still use my MPC 2000. Fully blown out with the Zip drive 250mb.. Roland JV 2080 and an M-88 controller. If I was still in the game. I heard so much about the MPC one.. Now you make me want to get one. Lol

Started on the mpc one and still using it. I have tested all the other mpcs and the one is by far my fav of the modern mp’s especially for the value. Definitely gonna pick up a 2000xl one of these days tho.

The MPC One is amazing for making beats, not so much with the synth plugin sounds. Even though they can be used, they just don't compliment the drum kits that well, but there are some descent sounds in the plugins. It's just not many and you have to search and tweak them out. Akai needs to focus and work on really quality synth/orchestral plugins, and they will have the edge over everyone then 🌗
