WOW this is awesome for real!!. The MPC has always been a big part of my music since 2007. i started on the MPC 2000 xl. Now I'm on the MPC live 2, it's amazing to see Akai still making great gear. Respect to Jermaine Dupri, all the legends that made hits that we have listened from the past, present & future .
I think the key to this video is that JD still loves his 3000! Even at the end of the video he’s pointing to his true love for the 3000 on the floor. The new MPC’s are amazing and feature rich, but old is still gold as proven in this video.
Yeh facts I know why he loves the 3k when I went from 2000xl to to the 3k everything sounded better the samples when you sample, everything just bangs hard straight out the box not to mention the low end and timing etc I will never sell my 3k ever 💯
@@JamesThomas-pv5en yeh now its just a DAWbox with plugins, pretty lights and mediocre sound. They forgot all about amazing sound quality in about 2003 and now it's about flogging us expansion packs because our drum samples sound weak as a kitten. Why aren't they prioritising sound quality ? The sales would go so absolutely crazy given that everyone is making beats rn.
How does he not get credit? Whats the amount of " credit " in your eyes he should be getting? Dude is mad, respected by his peers, and the ones he's put on in the music industry.
My comment was meant as a compliment to the contributions JD has made to the Hip Hop community without getting the credit " I " feel like he deserves. My comment wasn't meant to create a dispute about who is the best producer. I don't do internet arguments. Please miss me with that.
Man I remember when we got the MPC3K & it had the ability to Sample Digital, I had everybody tripping on how I flipped a sample... Akai MPC 35 yrs!!! 🥳🤩🥳 #SaluteJermaineDupri...👑✨👑
JD been using MPCs forever and I know he's already been using the Live and the X so I'm intrigued to know what that new feature he said is a game changer.... gotta be MPC 3 software!!
I'm waiting for someone to put the MPC X Special side by side with the MPC Renaissance because they look identical with that colour scheme. The X was obviously designed directly off of the Renaissance, the colour scheme making it very clear.
The MPC X SE color way and layout is designed similarly to the MPC 2000. Why would you think they’d make it look like the renn, it’s a classic in its own right, but not a pivotal moment in time and design like the 2000.
The MPC 3000 was the last model Roger Linn signed. I will discuss why in an upcoming video. I owned the 3000 a few times. Had it had the capability to store gigs of sounds, I’d still own it. That’ll being said, it’s still the greatest of all mpc’s
Mpc 3000 was the best,the sound was made for MAKING RECORDS,coming from the sp-1200 under the tutaligege of Dj Quik,and being able to use those techniques,accompanied with the midi sequencer "GAME CHANGER" #akai #Rogerlinn #BruceForat #hiphop #BrianG #LordKnows
All they have to do is be nice and get Linn back on board. Too stubborn to do so. Price would go up and people would still buy the machine if it had better converters. Doesn’t have to be crazy price hiking to get a better sound. If old tech can sound better how can new tech sound worse. Just don’t get it. It’s 2023.
The Mpc 3000 is the best drum machine ever made I know why so many producers from hip hop/RnB to house/garage etc loved and still love and use the 3000. Anything you put through the sound converters just bangs. I bought my 3000 off of Andy Mac in 2005 after watching him make beats on it and as soon I got it home I made a banger drums just sounded so much better and the timing and that was just the drums 😳I remember Mr Mac wanted to borrow mine years ago when he got rid of his 3000 because his drums and low end wouldn’t bang as hard 😜😂 using the 2000xl 😂I see you Mr Mac still got my 3000 and will never sell it ever!!! So happy for you Andy your doing Big Tings now.
@@AndyMacMPCclub lol 😂 I wish nah I bought your white one off of yuh used to come to your home studio a lot back in the days watch yuh make beats and talkbox etc the good ol days eh 😏yuh still don’t know it is??😂
Telling you akai make that 3000 re issue use the old circuitry mixed with the new feature of today's machines. Rosum remade the sp 1200 to a T. You can as well.
They are all about workflow now and basic circuitry with a fat price tag.. never going to change. We can scream all day but if a company is that ignorant to professionals well it says a lot considering all the mainstream producers have said the old machines were better
@@powderedtoastman3093meanwhile the new MPC's are selling like hot cakes man. So why would Akai listen to a quiet minority when the majority is talking extra loud with their buying power.. Asking this as someone who wishes for an updated modernized 2KXL...
Jack O’Donnell doesn’t give a fk. He shafted the best thing to happen to Akai. Roger Linn Now it’s a joke. Waiting for 3.0 software for over 14months. Useless they are
Jermaine Dupri is definitely one of the best hip hop producers period!!! He made great music that banged hard and was never too complex just using simple sample etc
JD is being super modest lol! ALL of his classic HITS were made on the 60II & 3000LE! He just recently started working with the newer MP’s (X/Live/Keys) within the last decade(5+yrs).
Just got the One and I can say Akai kept the life of the 1000-5000 series, and repackaged it into a mobile powerhouse. You can make the same beat on a computer and it won't hit without some tweaking like the MPC does out of the box. Im going on 29 and im slowly transitioning into hardware.. Mainly because i can afford it now lol
ILL GIVE THIS MAN CREDIT FOR STILL MAKING BEATS ON CAMERA!!.......SOMETHING DRE, RZA, MANNIE FRESH , OR ANY OTHER MYTHICAL PRODUCES ARE NOT DOING AND SHARING TIPS TODAY.... SO SALUTE TO JD FOR GIVING THE PEOPLE A GLIMPSE INTO HOW TO DO IT FROM A LEGENDARY PRODUCER
If they make a re issue of a 3000 and its form factor along, with the buttons and lights like the New mpcs, I'm sold, but more importantly, using the old circuitry would be a major overhaul that we would love to see. If the old components aren't available, they could collaborate with black lion audio, jazz cat etc to change the converters..
Old converter’s aren’t available yet the newer tech sounds worse… how is that even possible to achieve. It’s mind boggling that they can’t get it to sound as good as the older machines in 2023
to my knowledge Roger Lynn said he coded and the circuits are abusively different especially if a person or company hold patents. this is why after the sig. everything about the MPC was different. Now inmusic is just using spare parts trying to make a quick buck...
@@SergioMartinez-el8kg inmusic they can but that would include lawyers, Big Time money just to start the process lol and so much more to make a qualitative signature Roger Linn MPC 3k dealing with modern technology.

New Mpcs will remain to be trash until they get a dynamic eq to actually be able to mix in the box. The MPCX couldn't even crossfade correctly. Sold my MPCX in 5 days🎯

ho mpc3000 = 1994 its the best period of Rnb, groove. so much hits. But if all want the 3000, why they dont recreat a 3000
JD is one of Hip Hop's greatest producers, that doesn't get the credit he deserves. This dude consistently creates hits!
How does he not get credit? Whats the amount of " credit " in your eyes he should be getting? Dude is mad, respected by his peers, and the ones he's put on in the music industry.
I disagree DJ Quick is the best hands down
I think JD and DJ Quik are top tier producers. Both are great with the pen too. So So Def has been making hits for not just years, but decades!

Jumped on day one... watched the sunrise, grew a beard all before I finished my first session ever. Lmao 👊🧡👍
Legendary Shit as Always Miss Working with you JD keep Bang em Out You showed me me a lot of my yrs in the ATL THANK YOU

We get it, the MP is the greatest. I need to see the uncut interview.
Wish this was so much longer! Loved it.
B Cox Cookup drops real soon!
JD is a legend and one of my major inspirations.
I just left JDs house when this drum was dropped off!!
The 3k... just hit different... I wonder why
This put. Smile on my face when I get off work ima live stream cooking up on my Mpc live 2. They almost got me lol was going to add this to the cart
hellllll yeaaah 35 years!
Lol I have the X(original) live 2 and the key 61......why am I contemplating on purchasing this???🤣🤣🤦♂
jd efoort is not sincerity its persuasion.
effort*
Respect to one of the GOATS!!!! wonder if Teddy Riley Timberland DarkChild and Neptunes going to jump on this!!!
If they also get it for free they will for sure!
I'm hoping! Teddy is touring right now with KS! :-)
Timbaland and Neptunes didn’t use MPC
One of the most inspirational producers of this era. MPC Software Tips
Would it be possible to add a second "midi" track to the Bassline plugin to do thing like glide, accent, etc?

Thanks guys, thanks JD…legendary
I though Jermaine Dupree said the MPC 3000 was better lol 😂
One of theeee BEST to ever do it!!! Top 5️⃣ All-Time! 🥁
the episode has me thinking of getting the AKAI 3K
looks clean and sounds even better. I currently have the Akai Professional
The model wouldve sold more if you got Roger Linn back and had his signature on the s8&^^. After all, he did start the s&&^ with Akai
It's the crates on top of crates of records for me. That new mpc special edition is fire too
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge, King
That MPC changed my world!!!!!
Love to have one.
JD's 1492 was one of the greatest albums.

We need a linear arrangement view on the hardware.. how long is it going to take
Will we see it in 3.0?????
What is he talking about when he says this new MPC can do something the old versions could not? Something to do with 808 tuning?
Where is my MPC3.0 with spectrum analizer, graphic eq, line arrangement, full automation, deeser....? 🤣
Thats what i was waitin on,a fab filter style eq in stand alone😂.
This will be my first MPC!
Love the subtle nod to the 3000 at the end
4:36 what was he gonna say? Akai "chopped" it out for some reason...
