Curious why you're interested in hardware, considering the incredible advances in the actual electronic processes (plugins, etc.)?Recently, I've started taking an interest in music equipment. Mostly electronic stuff like samplers, drum machines, synthesizers, etc. I'm thinking of buying an MPC1000 once I find one at a good price. What about your thoughts on music equipment of the sorts?
It's mostly just personal preference. Software is great, but does way more than I actually need. My setup is very minimal, just using a music tracker as a sequencer and a software sampler. Exploring hardware is more interesting to me than just using software.Curious why you're interested in hardware, considering the incredible advances in the actual electronic processes (plugins, etc.)?
It's still pretty modern for it's age. I won't have to be dealing with floppies like the older models...WOW!! Spec says that device is 20 years old! Wonder if the rest of the info is accurate.
I can totally dig that. Whatever inspires, man. I guess I'm kinda doing that same thing with regards to "how" I'm executing my recordings. Though I am using a PC DAW, I'm also using a very old physical DAW (Roland VS-880EX) I've had since the 90s. I'm trying to be very minimalist with regards to spending. I'm currently on medical leave, so money is tight, of course. But it's a rejuvenating challenge, not only to relearn the mechanics, but to do so with spending as little as possible. I'm only using a free DAW and plugins, and I'm using my old Roland to record the physical performances -- basically as an audio interface, so I don't have to drop $150-200 on a decent audio interface.
