MPC CONVERTERS VS WA-2MPX.. WHATS WORTH THE $$$???

Instead of some MPC Converters, try running your MPC through Analog gear and explore the sonic landscape.

I own a mpc2000xl its night and day!Its inspiring as i'm creating a beat on how hard it hits! Mpc-0ne, liv and x are cool but light!I'm not trying to use 50 plugins to equal the mpc2xl

Well done man! I have the same unit and it’s everything you said!! Engage the High gain and adjust your input to compensate for the volume increase, then listen to what the 6 tubes sound like engaged!! 🫡🚀🚀🚀🔥

Im definitely going to get 2mpx to warm up the signal from my mpc x

always good videos, You should also upload the full listen of Marco Polo's "Bap Essentials" expansion, if you have it available.

Oof those live drums with heavy sat sounds beautiful! I personally haven't had any issue with the mpc one's own converters. I have the luxury of a few higher end choices and interfaces but the MPC standalone is perfectly usable (as you have just demonstrated).Great video!

I have a hardware vocal chain. I tried a test with a wa73 preamp to wa2a compressor. I made my bass mono and put a single cable from the output of my rme babyface(cubase) to the input of these hardware device and the output of these devices back in the input of my rme babyface. Obviously this is mono, but the difference was huge. The mpc plugin bassline sounded digital and weak. After the analog stuff. It sounded more open and alive and more musical and real.

Nice! Great solution, rather enhancement to signal.

From what I heard from the designer of the 2mpx the high gain activates the 3rd tube not tape sat.

It would be cool if made a video trying to match the WA sound using the MPC FXs?

I process on the way in. For mic inputs I have an ART Voice Channel which I'm very pleased with.

Dope 🔥 Thank you for making the video 🙏

I really liked the + HEAVY Saturation on the Mini D Bassline but that same setting on the live drums it sounded just a little distorted like it was clipping. I run my MPC live Out into a Joe Meek 2 channel Peamp, but this Warm Audio seems to make the tracks sound "Bigger" like a Dirtybird Production ala Clause Vonstroke track. I might have grab one of these from Sweetwater! 👍👍

[SunlightOfTheSpirit]

Great video, how would you approach recording through this unit into your DAW? Would you have to do one channel at a time?

We need to get Hit Boy in this debate. Because he has made the MPC Live 2/Fl Studio thing work successfully without these vintage machines. AND HE DID IT WITH NAS several times. And he has a video going back and forth with Alchemist (MPC 2500). So, what is Hit Boy doing with the MPC Live 2 that satisfies us, but we ourselves are not satisfied with the Live 2? I have a 4000 and ASR 10. Just curious….

Currently researching this issue and ran into an issue. I'm not good enough to use and afford analogue gear. Is there a huge sound difference between stock mpc one sound, tascam 16 processed sound, and analogue gear? In other words is it possible to use the tascam 16 as budget analogue gear to a similar effect?
