The thing is 16 bit 44.1 which is basically cd quality. 3 mother boards! that right there i think is huge on what it does to color sounds. the mpc 3000 has THREE DIFFERENT MOTHERBOARDS. i've tried countless settings on plugins and different chains with different analog emulation plugins and its extremely difficult to get anything close.įor one. but also analog and unique in a way only to the 3000. its frustrating.Īll of this coloration is extremly subtle. but the more you try to pin it down, the more you think of it as an "analog clean". it seems to give it this extremely extremely subtle cabinet effect but i cant pin it down. as opposed to digital where you can hear frequencies all over the place and kicks and snares will share all kinds of similar frequencies. you can hear it in machines like the sp 1200 too. so if its a kick it sounds one way, if its a snare its sitting in a different place. it's placing each sound in a frequency shelf almost. it's shaving off high end frequencies in a unique way it's adding a subtle mid/low punch to the attack but only to the lower frequencies. and i'm 100% open to ideas and suggestions. So what does the mpc 3000 really do to the sound? how is it coloring sound? Let's talk about it. I'm super afraid that I simply won't be able to use it. I've done everything but shell out the $3000 to buy one. also the musical context of hip hop from the 90's and 00's and who was creating it and what they were using to create it. also tidbits from long discussions from guys like young guru. i've taken frequency analyzers to these videos and audio. there are also minimal videos online comparing raw audio on different machines including the mpc 3000. in addition to stuyding the music of these guys. most of his snap came from the adsr inside the 3000. but im starting to come to the realization that dilla was pretty raw going into the 3000 for the most part. theres nuance there like what the rest of their chain is. dre, black milk and the drums and samples they use. everything i know comes from studying guys like j dilla, dr. The toughest part of all of this is not actually having any hands on experience with an actual mpc 3000. in hopes of recreating the magical sound of the mpc 3000. Ive spent a really long time studying different analog emulation plugins and their capabilities. it was starting to be emulated in plugins. and by the time i had the knowledge that this sound was analog and was essentially the opposite of digital sound. ignorance kept me pushing with the computer workflow. I'm the perfect age that I started making music in FL studio in 1999/2000 with computers, with the sound of the 3000 being my north star. I cannot stand the sound of digital and my brain simply isn't wired for clunky groovebox workflows. I daydream about digital emulation of the mpc 3000. I'm sure you guys would bring lots of info. I decided its time to direct this discussion here instead of living in my head. I probably think about this way too much.
