| I am definitely not a pro, but I work on a lot of hip hop these days and I have managed to use the MPC as nothing more than a scratch pad these days.
We get samples from everywhere... cd's, vinyl, movies, whatever.. it doesnt matter to me either way.
We edit everything in Nuendo, than rewire Live 3.0 for all of our loops. That works best for me when im time stretching.
The best software I have been using is SampleTank 2XL, Trilogy, Stylus, and Battery. I have managed to get just about everything I need out of them. I also play with reason, but that is just to put down an idea. Some sounds are usable,but i get a lot more out of the other VSTi's.
again Im not a pro, but ppl have been feeling our sound and its been keeping me busy.
hope you find YOU.. thats all that matters
