my setup and , should i change it?

my setup now is a yamaha a5000 sampler and an emu xl7 which i'm waiting to arrive in the post. the thing is i've always wanted an mpc and i realize if i sold these two units i could afford an mpc... should i do it?

no sequencer/daw/whatever?

i'm assuming this is not the case.

6 and half a dozen mate.

the emu is a nice piece of old kit.

those yamaha samplers beat the shit out of the old akais if i remember rightly.

still, you'd get more headroom out of a decent pc and some vst's ... it's all digital domain after all.

if hardware 'hands on' is your thing, then spend the extra cash and get some good controller hardware.

(my two cents worth, tho not preceded by 'hay guyz', or Q... so probably worthless.)

the xl7 IS a sequencer.

what do you mean by controller? just a good midi keyboard? or maybe i could get an akai midi controller to get best of bother worlds????

aye, a midi keyboard with assignable knobs.faders/pads,

a pad controiller, a matrix controller... whatever suits your working method best./

thing is, a lo0t of these queries requiring advice on what gear to buy ort not buy are entirely dependent on what music you want to make and what environment you like to work in.

as i said, just my two penn'orth.

sell it all and take inuit throat singing lessons

it's the only way

learn/sample/record the fuck out of the a5k and xl7 while saving up for mpc

buy mpc and learn/sample/record fuck out of it

decide which you like best

sell or keep the rest
