Best Way to Sample Drum - MPC or DAW

[T. Gundersen]

If I had a sample from a CD that I wanted to work with, I'd straight import it as a file onto my computer and work with it ITB. Best workflow for me (what do you feel is the best workflow for you = the solution you gotta use).

You can always process the sound as needed in the mixing stage.

True but my issue is the fact that the MPC does convert the sound to a different 12bit type. The MPC60 that is. This makes the sound very crunchy if you want to call it. So to sample to MPC through a Neve and then have a slightly different sound, wouldnt it be better than straight import to the box and then cutting up? Or maybe straight import would not diminish the quality in anyway right?

if you gonna record or import your samples straight into your daw and work from there, i guess you dont need a mpc right?

Try it in every configuration you can think of, then see which you like the most maybe?

Maybe see about getting the thing you want to sample on vinyl too?
