Such units were marketed mostly through the Guitar Center chain, meaning everyone with a guitar and a Peavey amp also had a four-track recorder.Ī decade or so later, supposed technological advances led to PC-based recording, which turned something artful and nuanced into something indistinguishable from the formatting of an Excel spreadsheet. The driven few who remained immediately began craving higher sound quality and, yes, MORE TRACKS, which was right around the time that multitrack cassette recorders became affordable. ("Ugh, that's me"), leading most folks to quietly set down the acoustic guitar they got for Christmas and never pick it up again. Since we weren't exactly expecting Abbey Road quality results from our cheap, portable cassette recorders, listening back to those first bedroom demos was exhilarating ("Hey, that's me!"). I'm a bit biased because I own an MPC, but I don't think you can go wrong with the One.Let's say that you came of age at a time, long before the internet, when the ONLY way to get your song ideas down in some sort of audible format was to grab the nearest portable cassette recorder and hit PLAY/RECORD at the same time and pray the batteries haven't died since you last used it. I can't remember the name of the software, but Ave Mcree has a YouTube video on the software. Yes, you can convert Native Instruments expansions to MPC. I've barely used Splice but it seems like a great resource for music producers. Splice is subscription based site that allows you to download a certain number of royalty free audio samples, midi files, etc. I watched so many YouTube videos on my MPC before it arrived in the mail that I was able to make a beat within the first hour of taking it out of the box. If you decide to get an MPC, purchase the MPC Bible - it's a digital book which walks you through everything in the MPC start to finish. I'm a guitar player, but I've never used any music production software or tools. This is my first MPC and first device I've ever used for music production. I have an MPC Live 2 (which has the exact same operating system as the One and the same workflow).
