MPC 2000XL WHAT HAD HAPPENED WAS..

[@wmextra]

You found your niche in the game friend good content man

[@DyReckProductions]

Thanks fam.

[@jonhrabkofilms]

Totally confirms why I’ve been using this as my production studio centerpiece for 20 years! Thanks for doing this series man!

[@zonasound]

U don't need to change. I do this full time and I have everything. I welcome software drum programs superior drummer more for live drums, battery, maschine.. and can create on all, but the MPC 2000XL is my desert island pick, because it makes me create in a different way thats more physical, eyes off the computer..Its sequencer and sound engine is amazing, it has a special tone and knock to it, regardless of what style of music you create and it locks w other machines like a tank..The best investment anyone could make.. When I got my 2000 it only came w one floppy disk 2 stock 15 stock sounds.then they upgraded the zip disk for the 2500.

[@INFINITEMUZIK71]

Still have my 2kxl. Had plenty offers from ppl that wanted to buy it from me, but I refuse to relinquish it. The feel of the pads is phenomenal and, like someone said, using the slider to trim samples made workflow better. The only complaint I had was the timestretching. It took so long sometimes that I could go take a shit, come back to it and it'll still be timestretching lol... Overall, one of my fav purchases EVER!

[@DyReckProductions]

I feel you fam.

[@ManoOne-Music-Production]

I use it to sequence all of my gear. Solid. Pro tip: you can avoid using the wheel to trim samples (which takes forever) by using the slider while holding SHIFT.

[@DyReckProductions]

Oh ok cool.

[@dalejohnson1796]

What?! How did only just learn this trick after owning mine for nearly a decade lol.

[@ManoOne-Music-Production]

@@dalejohnson1796 not surprised! I don't know where I read about it... This was one of the main reasons why I sold my 2000 and got the XL (that, and no folder support on the 2000... Huge mess of files). That SHIFT+SLIDER to trim is life-changing. Reminds me... I need to make a 2KXL Part 2 video on my channel, and cover sampling. Lots of SP-1200 stuff there BTW 👋

XL or 2500? Strictly for sound quality..

[@lorenhoward8178]

The first MPC that let you load up multiple programs at once. Game changer for me. You could make a program of all kicks, all snares, hats, etc. and have them all loaded up and switch between them for the first time.

[@DyReckProductions]

Yeah. it was a trend setter.

[@shinbakihanma2749]

Damu the Fudgemunk is the one dude who takes his 2000XL in the park, and blast his beats. If you were in NYC somewhere when you were in that cypher, it was probably him.

Speaking of taking a 2000 or 2000xl around, I was just watching Hustle & Flow and I thought of the scene where Shelby pulls out his MPC 2000.

[@randomrandy3059]

It may seem complex but it’s really not if you understand a lil bit.

[@davidrogafeller7464]

That performance was on SNL too, he had ballerinas and it was unforgettable, had the MPC on this Roman pillar looking thing. Personally felt it was the best SNL music performance. I can’t find it on KZbin cause NBC/Comcast is so stingy with their copyright laws

[@TranceCore3]

I got the Live II which isn't too bad of a device, but these vintage ones to me seem like a rite of passage. The live II is great, but it feels more like a laptop to me than anything else (and that's actually awesome)

[@equinox7364]

I feel you on that. I own the live II as well and still I feel like the older Mpcs are a rite of passage too. How’s do you like live II?

[@MicrophonesInTheTrees]

If you're into breaks/loops, move on. There's a bug where you have to add a couple of dead seconds to your samples if you want them to loop right once they're in a program. I struggled with it for a couple of years before getting real and getting an SP1200.

[@DyReckProductions]

Oh wow ok.

[@DJDionP]

Funny what you said about Alicia Keys, I just recently saw a picture of her at like 13 or 14 with an sp1200 and I think it was an mpc3000

[@OBDPVCR]

One of my main regrets in life is buying an MPC2000XL over an SP1200. SP1200 is the sound of Hip-Hop. Especially drums. It's a cool UI and the layout is awwsome, (I had the zip disk too so plenty of space) but the MPC has no sonic personality whatsoever. That jog wheel tho was butter.

[@DyReckProductions]

Oh ok I feel u.

I feel you.

[@dracobaby9]

I want mpc, but I been making beats in reason and logic, to go dawless sounds so scary to me.

[@DyReckProductions]

Right now the new mpc's are like a daw basically..Just in a hardware box..The ONE is the best buy for the money.

[@chowdermonsterr]

Make the switch to the off white beige big box hardware and you’ll never go back. Daw will only be used to record into and mixing/mastering. Programming your actual beats tho…you can’t replicate that feeling by using daw. Not even a midi padded box to the comp can capture the workflow of a true vintage hardware sampler

[@Dispatcher813]

Only option I like about 2000XL is the factory Multi Card Reader in the MCD model. Other than that, I prefer the 2000 "classic."
