      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.

    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.

    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.

    • @BORN7SUPREME
      @BORN7SUPREME 4 дні тому

      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.

      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.
