Sometimes it feels like,the more software sequencer technology advances the less of a role performance seems to play.and more and more automated features pop up to save you time,the less input the user has. The truth is he doesnt, all he does is drag round loops that have already been cut up for him,to me that just doesnt make sense to me wheres the performance in that?. I know someone that writes all his music in reason ,and he hasnt even got a midi controller of any type,so i ask myself how does he play his beats, I agree haze,i think programs like acid an ableton live take the skill and fun out of it its to easy to just load up some loops an go i did that,ya can write a tune in about 5 mins,without moving anything but a mouse.is that a good thing? Last up by least I truely believe that the MPC or keyboard allows one to put more feel (expression of the hits, timing, and dynamics) into one`s music than any software could. And some of the visual feedback with a large monitor is lacking but the plus side is you learn to use your ears more and you with learn more about musicial notes. If you are crazy for drums and rhythms it is the most expressive hand drums no doubt !!! Now coming from the software sequencer world the arranging loops and samples on the MPC is a little more shall we say hands on with extra steps compared with using a mouse drag and drop see. One thing though the MPC is a drum machine. So I wanna ask all you MPC users, how is the MPC compared to a computer program like FL Studio or Acid Pro 4.0? I've been thinkin about gettin a MPC 4000 for a while especially, when I heard my favorite producer (Kanye West) said he uses one in an interview.
