The internal timing of a software DAW like Cubase/Nuedno is deadly accurate - and an MPC has no particular advantage. Things can get a little sloppy if you use midi - but you can always input with midi and then quantise if necessary (many types of quantise to choose from).
I've owned many drum machines, and have no desire to return. Even free software and samples can outperform the old drum machines. |
Yeah, you're right. It is difficult for MPC users, like myself (MPC60) to give in to software, but really, take away those nice big pads and there is no advantage in timing, (people say that the quantization on an MPC is different, but....)1/8th is 1/8th. Obviously software sequencers are precise as shi-.
Actually, I think we all crossed over kicking and screaming on every single piece of equipment, like compressors, but where we are at now, it's clearly the way to go.
Re-drum is an awesome drum software, plus there are many that simply use the 808 technology. Give in and lose that bulky crap. The MPC is legendary, no doubt, but so are leather football helmets.
