if that`s the case then the answers evident.

If you have skills as a drummer then it would be retarded to even go that route of coarse and a daughter`s tuition for college and a mortgage car payments ect... is very good reason to buy a cheaper peice of equipment but I`m sure your aware that with everything in life comes sacrafice,what you think I don`t have a car payment a mortgage?Yes I`m a normal bill paying guy just like you but if you really want that sound cause you want a shot at doing this professionally then make the sacrafice and do it,now I guess we will get into if your physically challenged then you should buy a cheaper peice of gear huh?
 
To each his own! I have had absolutely no complaints whatsoever with my drum tracks! (Wellll, 1 song did have this OVER-POWERING Outta'-Space snare sound!)

Peace
Mr.Q
 
...................further more, the MPC are EXCELLENT in the rap & r&B
genre's but serve no use in more complex rhytms that are required in Jazz. My brother owns an MPC and could not replicate a syncopated kik-snare hi-hat rhythm, nor did the machine impress any-1 in 3/4 or 5/4 times.
Like I SAID b-4, you don;t have to spend 2-3k on a drum machine to acheive the sound you want!!! 1 of the many Roland/Boss or Alesis machinesserve the purpose of providing ample rhythm!
Again, for that kinda' money buy your own drumset and learn to play. You'll sound WAYYYY better than a MPC!
 
You sound dum

WHAT?It can`t do more complex drum rhythms? Ever heard that saying it`s not the guitar it`s the player? Well you can basically apply it to this situation.You can set the MPC series drum machines to Hi Res which means you play it and get exactly what you played without quantization.So if your brother was able to play the drum rhythm than that`s what he would have got.Not for nothin but are you actually serious?You can get quality drum tracks from these cheap ass machines youv`e mentioned?Well then your about to change the game huh?Could you name 1 song that`s been in the top 40 that the drum tracks were made by either one of those peices of shit youv`e mentioned?I`m waiting for this one.:confused:
 
WHo the fuck said anything about top40!!?? Also,if you read what I wrote I stated Jazz, with complicated and syncopated drum rhythms! Fuck the top 40 as a lot of that shit is garbage anyway!
Also, have you forgotten that this is HOMERECORDING.COM!!??
Not Prorecording.com!!

BTW, speaking of my brother (spam time), Please keep an eye out for his new album ,released by Universal coming out late October early November simply titled, "Chris Collie Sez"; rap & r&b flow!

Fuck the MPC, (though I gave props to my brutha' which he used on 4 tracks of his new C/D's!)
 
Shut up and listen!

I said top 40!And by your response I see that you can`t name anything.And if your brother comes out with them wack ass boss sounds his album will go as far as your post!And I havn`t forgoten that this is homerecording.com but should that stop anyone from trying to make quality music.Simple and plain I`ve used the Boss sp-202 dr-5 and that 770 one and I have never said there not good machines they just put out poor quality sounds.Even if you have them mastered by the best they still sound cheap!period!Now if you wanna argue that than you obviously don`t know what your talking about!So let me ask you something?If their so good than why doesn`t DJ Premeire use one?Or why doesn`t DR Dre use one?Know what they use?That`s right MPC`s.......2000,3000,60.I don`t even own one I work with an SP-1200 and a Triton along with effects processors and pre amp`s and digital recorders.What I`m saying is the sound for say Hip-Hop has been defined ,doesn`t seem fair but it has so if your not using what the boys pumpin out hits is using than your just pissin in the wind!Anyway have a pleasant day:)
 
sleep, you are obviously a retard. Everybody knows that I have a top 40 hit, and I did the drums with a casio keyboard and a boss DR-550mkII. If it was just the DR-550, my cut wouldn't have gotten the spins that it did, but since it is an mkII, my track just oozed the groove. That drum sound was so choice, it made me slap my momma. You are the one that don't know what youaretalkinabout.
 
Hey Brad what`s the hit?Name of record record company and exactly how many hits did you make?You wanna get into name callin bitch?No problem why don`t you tell your mother if she sucked dick for 20 instead of 10 dollars you might have been something!
 
MODERATOR!!!! MODERATOR!!! This guy just said something bad about my mother!!!! Isn't that grounds for dismissal?

What has become of this place? This guy makes Mr.QQ cuss and now he says my mom orally gratified him for money?
sleep, I am going to pray for you and your MPC so that you will soon see the casio/boss light.
 
oh I see what you are!

You not only a bitch but a snitch I see.And I don`t have an mpc punk!Read!
 
It was a joke, sheep. Get over yourself.


In response to krakit's original question: Most drum machines have a demo song or two programmed into them. They usually cover all of the sounds available in the machine. If you go into a store and mess with the machines, you probably can figure out how to get the demos to play. If not, just ask a salesperson to help out.

As far as the multiple output vs. 2 output: I see the advantages of the multiple outs, but I have gotten along fine with the DR770 that has the stereo outs and the one individual out. Each drum sound can be tweaked and panned in the stereo field how you want it, and I feel that with enough parameter tweaking, you can eliminate the need for multiple outs. And I think the sounds are quite competetive with a little outboard processing.

Listen

You know what I don`t want to get into a pissin match with you guys.I was asked a question and simply answered it,seems to me that some people are just mad that they can`t afford a quality peice of gear and that by no means is my fault.I simply stated that if you want to make quality music you have to get quality gear.That`s all!If you want to race cars are you gonna go get a yugo?Dale earnheart Jr would smoke you right? Than if you look at my earlier post you`ll see I stated if your in this seriously than invest if not a boss or whatever is good enough.What`s wrong with that statement?Is that not true?I find this place very good for info on alot of things I don`t know it all shit I don`t know a whole lotta shit and don`t claim to but what`s obvious is just that obvious.
 
No hard feelings then, sleep.

But I'll have you know that besides having a hit song that I made with a casio and a boss, I also professionally race cars and I do, in fact, drive a Yugo. I have won many races with this car.
It's a newer, faster model. Perhaps you've heard of it?


wait for it...
































wait for it...





















It's called the Yugo Screwyourself.




BAAADUMMMP BUMP... SPSHHHHH!
 
Brads mom gave him oral gratification for money?.....some of my boys say they got it for free:eek:
 
Yo' sleep, calm the fuck down!!!! You mention top 40!!?? What??
Britney Spears, Christine Aguilera, Mariah Carey!!?? Who gives a fuck about them!! My point to this ENTIRE thread is that you can get quality "canned" drum sounds from most machines! The MPC
is just anutha' drum machine but priced @ 2 or 3k, depending on what model you buy,which produces the same "canned" drum sounds like all other machines."CANNED DRUM's"
As far as my brother is concerned , obviously you don't have a clue what the fuck what you're talkin' about. His c/d has 12 tracks
of which 4, the MPC is used. the remaining 8.... a LIVE drummer
with back-up band!!! It ain't my brand of music but I support him
whole-heartedly like I would any musician? BTW, R-U a musician??
'Cause ANY musician will tell you that live drums are the best any way!
Now go back to bed.....you need some........

Peace
Mr.Q
 
Brad and Mister Cue Suck a dillznik

Yes I am a musician,I`ve been playing Bass and Keys for 11 years,and I know live drums are better than sampled drums of course!Like I said I don`t wanna get into a pissin match with you guys and then you try and start it again,for real fuck you,and you too Brad bitch ass punk muthafucka,what pussy you got balls now since your Moms retired?Fagot ass muthafucka,any of you muthafucka`s wanna get it on,download your shit and we`ll see you got skills.Now shut the fuck up!
 
Ooooohhh,I'm impressed!!!!!!!

Playing Keys and Bass for over 11 years!! That's impressive!
I've only been playing bass, keys, gits, trumpet and drums
for over 30 years with some jazz & r&b credits to my name!!

I'm not gonna' stoop to your obviously infantile/juvenile level and just simply ignore you ! You have a lot of growing up and learning to do son!

Peace

Gee, and I was trying to make nice.

Hey steep, if I download my shit, as you say, how are you going to tell if I "got skills" anyhow? You gonna come over to my place and listen to my "shit" once it is downloaded?

But I like your style, sheep. It's unrefined and kind of like high school bathroom grafitti, but you have potential. If you ever get out of Brooklyn and come out west, we should hook up. We could go out for dinner and dancing before I take you home and screw you.
 
The RETURN of....................
