I was to your myspace once and heard background noise on all of your tracks.
it's probably the power supply or the sound card in your computer. 
MPC 2ks are cheap. just cop one of ebay and control your DAW/software with it if you need the hardware under your fingers.
as fun as an MPC is, if you know how to play drums, nothing can beat a nice set of Vdrums.
why not assign a midi knob/slider to set the tempo in your DAW/sequencer?
leave the acapella unwarped and "ride" the hosts tempo to fit it.
sort of like varispeed on two decks, where you match the tempo to the "master" deck.
it's easy to set up and nice for subtle tempo changes too. |
Perfect answers, and I love the 1 about limiting yourself. I look at it like this, unless you have plenty cash to play with your usually going to end up buying 1 workstation so thing of your sampler of choice and use it as via hardware mentality.
Battery triggers my one shots or easy sample chops because i use it thinking its a complete mpc minus the sequencer and kontakt as a sound module-asr 10 sampler with all the efx and editing. If you want grit and all that shit sample thru an old ass win 95 comp with a soundblaster isa joint u can cop for like 20 bucks and their goes that grittyness lol.
And yeah i do miss hardware dont get me wrong cuz their nothing like turning on an mpc and feeling that cold ass steel / aluminum in the morning but man i wouldnt trade my laptop in for the world.
