RE: ASR X PRO = Pro ?
hey R-tek thanks for not burning my head on a stick for turning my back on
the MPC cult
.. glad to c u backing me up actually...
Jondl: thanks for the SCSI research.. concerning "the learning process" I
have a job opportunity to go on the road with a theatre play so I'll just take the RM1x with me and when I come back a month later I'll b set to hook it up to the rest of the kit)....besides my real gain is that: my 4 years of ASRX experience is put 2 use again.
my only fear is that I'm making the wrong choice:: everyone loves their
mpc,, heck R-Tek can't go on without it!! I've only had it for a 7 weeks,
with the standard 2mb of ram, (vs. my 4 years on the ASRX which makes
me wonder if I would do what I'm doing if I had 4 years on the mpc????),
but within that time I've sampled quite a bit, and often found myself crying
for a High Pass or Resampling.. and like I said I dearly miss the way the X
can chop in real-time!! I really bond with that method...is there any other
sampler out that can do this!!???
concerning ASR X VS MPC work speed/interface: : the MPC has
dedicated buttons and a big lcd which make u think it would b faster/easier
in use. but the fact is: there r allot of shortcuts on the X and second
functions by holding two buttons down, u also don't have to go through
trim & programs and sampling is done with a touch of a button, with
imitate access to all sampling parameter on any sound via touch of a pad, all that really makes up for those dedicated keys..
and R-Tek u do all your sequencing and drum sampling on the MPC, perhaps u can enlighten me of its magic and how it helps u make music? cos if the only reason people buy it is cos of its reability and tight timing, I'll b sadly disappointed in the standard the market has fallen to, its great to carry your kit live but besides
that its just another box. basicly I'we xpressed why the ASR X is so fantastik, can u do the same with the MPC prehaps that will open my mind.
