True, vintage workflow is dope in its own way and can lead to different results. As a professional producer with a family, I became obsessed with streamlining my workflow and getting more efficient so I appreciate the more modern MPC One in my studio. I’d like to get a vintage unit later on.
I feel you. Most times I just sit and relax making beats on my laptop stretched out on the sofa. When I fire up my gear, it can be time consuming, but I usually finish with a beat that I feel proud and accomplished by. Tracking out in to the daw is the other annoying aspect lol.
My mpc 2000 maxed out was 6 minutes sampling time. That was amply more sample time than I’ve ever used. The sound is unique compared to my mpc one, Fl studio SliceX , EPS 16 plus or Triton Pro. I’ll never sell it. I love the sequencer and the other functions on it. It’s a relic but I can live with that.
This is why the mpc and all mpc's are best at being drum samplers and midi sequencers. I used to try and do everything on one machine and grew frustrated threw time. You get the best out of production equipment when you use it for it's strong points.
I have this love for the 2k classic over the XL. It just has a good crunch and my WF is so much better. Nice video man I have most all MPCs and incorporate them. Simple and fun instead of looking at the screen.
Sometimes times you don't need to turn the volume down. Try playing with the attack to lesson the harshness but still preserve the presence. Great video 😁 Need more of this 2kclassic love around here.
Is that “note off” featuring you used in the new mpc live 2 bc i don’t think i’ve ever seen that !? (I got the mpc live 2 but that sounds was pretty cool & the drums sound good, warm & crunchy on there🔥🔥
I have the 8-out now installed, and it barely glitches. Flicker here and there (not often), nothing that really hinders or makes using it less enjoyable.
yea I should of said that. You can def mute per track... just on the mpc2000xl you have a screen you can use the pads to bring in and out of mutes. Its not a game changer to me, because reality is the beat will be dumped down to DAW and arrange as needed. Appreciate it, next video will be way higher quality with lighting.
@@basedvato no you have the same track mute function you go on the on track in the screen with the arrow and you push open window button now you have the track mute page for 16 tracks at time like the mpc2000xl.
@@uoffanaan oh shit. you are a legend. Just check, never thought pressing the open window on track mute section. Theres no dedicated track mute button like on the xl but the screen still exists on the classic. Thanks for information.
Thanks lol I need to upload more. I get to wrapped up playing with gear, and never set up the camera. I recently been playing the ASR-10 more and need to get some stuff out.
I'll tell you what is a better sequncer/ sampler is it the octatrack . In fact dare I say the octatrack is the best smapler that has came out in 10-12yrs(?) I know people that use it JUST to sequnce their entire studio.
Nice setup. I get my character from the sp-505 & mpc live. With the live you can have 4 fx on each pad & 4 fx on each track so you can really create some crazy stuff with 8 fx & my 505 provides a great sounding reverb & lofi effect. I also have the sp950 pc plugin if I want a sp1200 sound. For fun live fx I use the 404mkII. Every sampler has its own sound. You just have to find what you like the best & hopefully you can afford it. 😁
I just noticed you have some R1MX videos... I use to have a RS7000, really sad I sold that piece, now they are super hard to find, and might just get a motif for that yamaha sequencer and bread and butter sounds.
easy way is to sample just them in (from laptop or any sound source).... and then assign what you sample to the pad. There is also ways to load samples straight from floppy or in my case a SD card.

Stereo sampling can eat up to much sampling time. So I just typically sample a mono channel. The mono sample will be heard on L+R. On mix down I can just add a imager plug in to give stereo width.
@@basedvato that's crazy lol so all your beats in the machine only play in mono before the external daw mix?? just upgrade your ram or I guess whatever works for you I don't have that problem at all on the live or the 2500 I can sample whatever I need I sometimes sample 10 different songs lol make 10 different beats in one session and then separate later if I wanna focus on one particular sequence that's a lotta work tho bit I guess not if your used to it by now it would drive me crazy tho I gotta hear my mix stereo left and right
@@1234DLTS I hear ya. but Id rather track into the daw mono because the individual outs are mono on the MPC. If I need more stereo dynamics ill throw ozone imager on the sample to widen the spectrum. Also can pan the drums to widen. I do like the idea of a MPC live, and saving a song to a ableton live als, and move it straight to the daw. Track out can be very annoying.
@@basedvato trust me I understand and know I have a mv 8800 a mpc 2500 & a mpc live the live is good for mixdowns nonyrack outs no more and you can use mpc beats software with you mpc 2000 it nightvhelp tremendously with the mixdowns cause you can take the whole mixdowns In one file and transfer it to any #raw drag and drop the whole session into your saw and mix it no track out at all and more efficient because it's not a recording it's the actual files peace hope you figure it out bit download mpc beats software and at least try it

Love the workflow bro. Glad to see another fellow MPC user killing it 🔥🔥🔥
I don't own a mpc but a mpx16
It has no sequencer but to keep it traditional I'm recording everything onto tape
I bought my MPC2000 in 2000 and I was a happy camper...thank you for your video, :)

Goated beat
This is the same setup Kanye have his setup. He uses his ASR-10 for chopping samples (slave) and his Mpc 2000 for drums/sequencer (master)
He dosent do this anymore ..... ACTUALLY Just blaze has his ASR-10 wiot beat still in it.
And a Proteus 2000 as a sound module

Very cool beat

Man Kanye makes me wanna get these. He’s a beast with them. Especially for me as a beat maker and soon to be a producer. I know what I need now

great og tip... thanks man, gonna try that out before playing with some levels.
Facts. Or the velocity - I use that a lot to bring a sound down but by intensity. I love it.

The pads on the classic are the best I've used.
If your blue screen is an mpcstuff V2, according to their website, it will glitch on any 2000 “classic” that has an installed 8 output board.
I have the 8-out now installed, and it barely glitches. Flicker here and there (not often), nothing that really hinders or makes using it less enjoyable.
Mine does but it calms down after being on for a while. Not a problem.
Fire set up!!! Do you know how I could sync my MPC to reason? Thank you
YES !
You still have the trackmute function in the Mpc2000 classic but no dedicated button.

2000 is the best MPC ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love the sampler but withtout any ugrades it's just too slow for me right now
Thanks!
Great Video. What is the sample at 14:00 secs ?
thanks man! I really wish I remember the sample, I just grabbed a random 45' off youtube that day.
Thanks !! It was amazing how you made a great tune from it 👏
where did you get the screen from.
I just bought a another 2000xl from reverb. Getting back into it again, have the time now. Hey what sample is that
I'll tell you what is a better sequncer/ sampler is it the octatrack . In fact dare I say the octatrack is the best smapler that has came out in 10-12yrs(?) I know people that use it JUST to sequnce their entire studio.
97, right in the middle of your guesstimate 😆
What SD drive are you using for this? I could not find one specifically for the classic 2000.
O dog I love it
The MV 8000
What drum kit do you use man, very sick ngl
Thanks! If I remember this might of been from the "12 Bit Soul volume 5" they have some nice sounding drums on drum broker.
Damn how is yours so clean?!??
lol lucky finding a good shape one to start, before I started the upgrades.
Dope stuff. How do you track out your sounds for mixing?
You need a mixer
Dope video

Every sampler really does have its own flavor. All those SP's are really nice to add color to the mix.

Great vid. Why no usage of note variation slider?
I just don't really use it. I just dial in what I need on knob instead.
If u dont mind me asking im new but how do i load drums into the mpc

Not a whole lot of sampling time??? It can sample for up to 6 MINUTES in Mono, 3 In stereo...
why are the samples you take in mono only in the left side ???🤔🤔

@@basedvato your definitely doing way more work than you have to these days to get the same exact results faster work smarter not harder ....
Can you record samples directly from your pc to your mpc?
definitely, main way I throw in samples...
@@basedvato does it have some sampling limits? can you sample a whole song in one take? i find it difficult to find info on this...
Must hip hop heads sample in the asr 10 and sequence with the mpc just saying.
true... or load drums in MPC, and use asr to chop longer samples, and instrumental parts.
1997 for the 2000 and the XL was 1999
Do they have firewire on pc?
I think you could by a firewire card for a pc. I think overall its a eaiser protocol with mac imo.
2000 came out in 97
97 it came out
97 I believe
Dope shit would love to mix your stuff hmu lets link
