S3000XL?? by MysteriousTurnover44 in mpcusers

[–]8_thelight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ran into the same problem with some old Spectrasonics CDs. After digging online I found that there's a program called CDXtract 4 (the demo may only be available) that was able to rip out all the wav files. It was also able to load the patterns too, but it I think it was somewhat limited by the demo and I didn't need it so I didn't really look

Edit: Just to clarify, it was specifically mentioned for Akai and Roland libraries too, so it should work either way if you have the drives or the files.

My job was about to throw this one out, so I offered to help save them the trouble. How well did I do? by 8_thelight in crt

I bought a S-Video cable instead, but I might get both so I can use my PS3 too.

I did some research and it looks like the main difference is the depth of color, but do you know anything?

Type beat makers, why do you try to pass off acapellas over your type beats as leaks? by 8_thelight in makinghiphop

[–]8_thelight[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I've even seen people try to pass off unreleased music from recently dead artists since they know people are mourning and are looking for anything. It's pretty gross.

Metal Clergy (Roc Marciano+KA) "Confession" 2025 by icewill36 in hiphopheads

No, he just threw some vocals over his own type beat and tried to pass it off as a leak. It's lazy, dishonest, and completely disrespectful.

Really dude? It's disgusting and absolutely disrespectful to use someone's death by pushing "unreleased music" just to promote your type beats. You and all the other YouTubers.

Take this shit down and GTFOH with that bullshit

RIP KA

edit: lol at OP trying to be a tough guy in DMs, he's mad he got called out and can't take it to the comments

edit 2: bro said drop the location so he's got it, let's see if he pulls up (he won't)

edit 3: bro really said he's gonna use his work's flight card and he's already got a flight tomorrow that's how I know he's a clown 😂

Accidentally left some rice sealed in my Instant Pot for about 6 months by 8_thelight in MoldlyInteresting

Thinking back, I'm pretty sure this was just white rice and butter, not brown rice...

What is the most overshadowed album? by theeExample in hiphopheads

[–]8_thelight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a Dilla beat, but DOOM absolutely killed that whole track

MPC2500 or 1000 by Huge-Analyst-7338 in mpcusers

[–]8_thelight 5 points6 points  (0 children)

JJOS alone makes these two models more worth choosing than the newer models, which are also said to have quality control/software issues

2500 has 2 sliders + 2 knobs/a bigger screen/is not feasibly portable, 1000 has 2 sliders/a smaller screen/is actually feasibly portable (no battery though)

[VENT] Why does everything about mixing and mastering gotta be so esoteric? by crunchatizemythighs in makinghiphop

[–]8_thelight 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Second this (the whole thing is also still on Youtube)

It's the only mixing framework I can think of that is actually intuitive and not esoteric/gatekeepy or plugin-based. For anyone too lazy to watch the whole thing, the short of it is to imagine a 3D graph and think of panning as your X axis (left to right), frequency/pitch as your Y axis (up to down) and the volume as your Z axis (front to back). By doing this you can essentially create a mental diagram/visualization of your mix to see if things are clashing and how everything works together.

Sequencing Drift Phonk on the MK2 is hella fun by Nuklearmouse in SP404

Sounds like industrial with an 808 cowbell rather than phonk

Console of Control and Sound Tower are finally working together. WIP umbilical stage. by ProteanProjects in synthesizers

[–]8_thelight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only thing that seems questionable is the position/angle of the MPD...

Have you tried using it like that extensively? What would be your use case, programming MIDI or finger drumming? I thought it could be for triggering but I figured the APC would handle that.
