ive been doin hip hop beats for awhile now..but i was in my friends studio and i had to move so im going to build my own now..and i need a sound module...with good sounds and stuff... for hip hop..any ideas?..ill be using a midi controller for that...
 
You gotta be a little more specific cuz... I used a YAMAHA MU-5 to do a track once (bottom of the barrel) and it was actually kinda tight. On the other end of that you got a full blown TRITON RACK... You got cats using some of everything that makes noise since the 70's to drop beats...

What's your price range?

What's your existing gear?

Holla...
 
right now...the gear i got is a alesis sr-16 drum machine and a shitty midi keyboard...and a audio teechnia mic with a art tube pre... im gonna get a mpc200xl and a better midi keyboard... to go with the module im going to buy....price range is probably under 1000.....but if i gotta spend more i gotta sped more...nah mean?
 
Lotsa great modules out there.

Mo Phatt
Triton
XV2020, 5050, 5080
(I kind of even like the Proteus modules - 2000 for sure)
Motif
blah blah blah, list goes on.

Depends on what sounds you're looking for (specifically, not just genre 'hip hop" but *which* hip hop sounds you're looking for)

Another 2 centz I could hand out - Akai's dropping U.S. distribution, so if you pick up an MPC, expect *no* support for your gear. I would take a long hard look at the *why* you're purchasing it so as to be absolutely sure you're buying it because you have to use it for production, or because someone told you to, or "everybody's using it". If it's what you have to have, then more power to you.

You could actually have a backup plan with a Yamaha motif (keyboard) so as to have sequencing/sampling capabilities, and you could drop the MPC all together. Motif reads akai format samples.

Or do the computer thing... (or not). That's always a scary road. But lotsa people do it.

Lots of options, and lots of homework for you to do.

Bang for the buck in my opinion under 1,000 - Roland XV5050 or Motif Rack.

Have a great one, and remember - all this information is worth my 2 pentz.
