The older MPCs holds so much value. You snagged a good deal bro 💯
Word definitely. Btw love the things u do on that 2500 . That Coffee and cocaine !
@@SauceSoundz lol apprieciate the support big bro - & likewise! that 2000xl of yours is magic
@@bonafidebeatz20 thanks fam
Congrats bro! Nothing compares to the sound of the 3000. 🔥🔥🔥
I was worried it was gonna be hype. It's not! Good thing I love the workflow on my other machines or else I'm scared they would get abandoned lol
Word! I will never sell mine Incredible!
Fun story telling, always nice to see genuine excitement caught on camera. Heres to cooking up bangers and chopping amens 🙏 on that beast
Thanks yea I thought that would be a cool thing to see. Glad you enjoyed it
I copped 2 MPC3000LE's off of Reverb a couple months ago and another LE off Ebay. Got a total of 3, all in pretty good condition. I don't ever plan on selling them unless money gets tight. I tell my family all the time, when I die, don't sell my equipment for a couple of dollars. I have equipment that can pay off debt. LOL
Haha wow. That's crazy. But people don't believe it. It's gonna be more expensive later. Especially the LEs. I got my crackhead one knowing it won't be an investment but I know I'm not gonna lose money on it either. I'll be able to sell it for what I got it for at the very least. Thanks for watching man
You got tha LE version 👏🏽 👏🏽👏🏽
Had to!
An absolute classic MPC 👌🏾nice cook-up too sir!
Thanks fam. Appreciate it 🙏
Congrats OG 💯 I’m new to the MPC world so I’m definitely saving up for one myself
It's def a dope machine. And if u got a newer one to help u chop samples when u don't feel like doin that all day even better
Anybody with vinyl and or Technique 1200’s should have an SP1200. You’re doing yourselves a disservice.
Hi mate, congrats¡¡¡¡ on that MPC, it's like the cadillac of MPC's, hope to see more rhythms around here.
Oh yeah for sure. Made some pretty nice joints already
I remember going to West LA Music and seeing 8 MPC3000LE boxes stacked by their stock room door, ended pick one up that day and 3 weeks later picked up a second one
Damn that's a hell of a come up
@@SauceSoundz one got stolen and I sold the other one about two years ago cause of a hospital visit to later find out my insurance covered it 😢
@@fadusysko oh damn.
That’s amazing bro!!! Have fun with that thing !!
Thanks fam. Had it for a while and I can't get away from it. Love it so far!
YO! SAUCE THAT'S CRAZY! Congrats! Life goal right there!
Thanks my bro. Def was a life goal of mine. I'm really happy with it. The sound is no myth either. I def hear it
@@SauceSoundz Genuinely happy for you man. One of the best beatmaking channels and you seem to be a great guy. One of those friends I wish I had IRL. The happiness is obvious! Now some 3000 heat!
@@slik_p damn thanks for writing this. It means a lot. 🤝 This is exactly why I started my YT channel . I put a lot of time in this so it's really nice to hear. And same here. Your a cool ass dude and those beats you post on insta are 🔥. First beats on the 3k are a lil rough but slowly getting better. 😅
my dude RIP 🙏🏿 Lil Ced had one of these back in the day and made BANGERS on it! He the reason i started making beats
RIP 🙏 . And thanks for checking out the vid.
Congratulations bro. Welcome to the MPC3000 club. You wanted one and now you got it. I know the feeling. Enjoy 👊
Yea man the more I mess with it the more I love it. Don't even wanna touch any of my other machines RN and thanks man I appreciate it
@@SauceSoundz Sampling a sound into the 3000 and the sound played back really makes a big difference. I would advise sampling using the analogue inputs and experimenting with recording in hot and at different levels. You'll never consider loading samples again lol.
Congratulations bro on your new old gem. I only know the device from J. Dilla and have never seen one, let alone touched one. It looks and sounds damn good. How is the workflow compared to the mpc 2000xl
Thank you. I love this thing.. If your chopping a lot the 2000xl . If your strategic with your chops and know what you want the 3000 can be fast cause it makes up for everything else with the button per function workflow. But for the way Im used to working the 2000xl is the one if i got more than a few chops .
@@SauceSoundz thanks bro
That was a steal
Yes man. Sometimes you just gotta throw an offer
I've used a few MPC3K's over the decades, and the experience never disappoints! It was the backbone of my studio in the 1990's. Congrats! Also, I played literally hundreds of shows under the moniker Sauce, before I became SnowMetal in 2012. It's even tattooed on the back of my neck. :) Anyway, great video. You are destined to be successful on UA-cam!
Thanks man, I appreciate that . And yes I was sauce since like 99 but looks like they'res a few of us around the globe. Your nasty on the keys man. And thanks for the luv 🙏
Damn she is beauty
Thank you
The Greatest Mpc Ever Made And You Can't Argue This point 😂
Yoo I'm starting to think it is man. I love this thing
Nothing can touch it…
It’s always fun seeing someone first get into a new piece of gear. I reached a point with my 3k where I could guess the value while truncating well enough where I would just punch the numbers in and then only use the data wheel a little. Mine had a broken side as well but it was also a crack head special. That box as well and my 1200 I regret selling. I think I’ll grab an LE now as well.
Dem crackhead specials . Man 😂😂 and I think I'm getting there lil by lil I actually almost enjoy it now
Congrats!!! I LOVE the use of the soundtrack from It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown during the reveal to your friend!
Thanks man. Yea that's one of my favorite beats. Bro where u been at?! You were like my favorite music channel! Gotta make some more content man!
@@SauceSoundz thanks for the love! Ironically, in a way I have never left you guys: it’s just been a combination of Life (constant changes), and of me trying to decide on how I want to re enter Content Creation. My studio/equipment/methods have changed quite a bit, and I’ve just been trying to decide on a Content Creation path forward that’s sustainable and satisfying to me at the same time. I’m not far off from starting up again, I think. Your stuff has evolved and in a good way-again: Congrats! Keep up the good work!
@@thefunkymunky9084 thanks. Well whatever you do I'm looking forward to it. 💪
brooooo !!! super jelly lol like some pb and j. But anyways. .. congrats on the new purchase!! Just subscribed.
Haha yo thanks man I appreciate it. Lots more to come
I sold my custom MPC3000 many years ago... I dont regret it at all... Although I grew up using the original MPC60 and S950s in my earlier years, the MPC3000 is a great machine for people who have patience. Using it as my master sequencer and drum sampler proved to be very time consuming and it really slowed down my workflow. Way too much start and stop... Having all of the separate outputs is great, but I dont track more than 2 outputs at a time, and its because I am using decent channelstrip preamps before hitting tape. I dont have 8 Avalon737sp units to run my mpc drums through, I have (2). These days, I have an MPC1000 just laying around which I dont really use at all. The MPC3000 is a status symbol, just like a Rolex or a Mercedes Benz - It makes you look like you da shit... But in all reality, as a music producing device, its absolute trash in every way.
Nice comment, after years I am getting back into production and was wondering if you could answer a question for me..sounds like you know your ishh.What equipment would you recommend for me getting back into this..last equipment I was on was MPC60.
There's a video of Ian Pooley talking about his extensive use of the MPC-3000 adding a groove and a sound that you just don't get in a DAW, the daw being more sterile. It's not work if you enjoy it, right?
@@project-95 you can literally get same swing in logic, the mpc3000 is a low end computer at the end of the day, by the time you make one good beat on mpc, i've made 4 beats and recorded songs on them and mixed and mastered.
@@oceanaverecords I can also drive the wife's Qashqai to work but I'll still choose the V8. It's not always about the end result, but the fun you have getting there. Using real instruments is fun. Using a computer mouse to drag windows around feels like work, I do it when I need to, not because I want to.
3k is a step back for sure. They're stunningly beautiful though.
He was looking at that mpc2000xl like it was a snack…..😂😂
😂😂💀💀💀 I'm dead ! He actually makes some ill ass joints on his mv8000 but I'm tryin to convince him to borrow the XL so he can join the cult
@@SauceSoundz actually I was talking about you when you say “I like my live but I loooove my 2000xl “ then you looked over at it with like LUST in youre eyes…..I swear I saw lust…
@@zapatatheghost90026 oh word man. That thing helped me out in some rough times and brought out the best in happy ones. Love my XL
@@SauceSoundz 2000xl since 2001 still got mine
I got an Ensoniq EPS Classic on Reverb for $400 with full expanded memory and shipping included
Nice those sound really good
Awesome my brother man! one love from the city of Melbourne.
Thanks my bro happy new year!!
I got love for the 2000XL. That's a beast and I love using it, but the 3000 is more intuitive with it's button per function and for me the only way I can describe it is the sound is more record ready. Both are great in their own right though. I will never sell my 2000XL
I'm loving it so far for sure. And def is making me plan things out a lil more than I would with the XL
that's a beautiful piece right there 😎😎😎😎🤪
My MF dude DJ LA! Wats good!!
@@SauceSoundz hahaha bro I think your my lost twin. Hahaha I like watches too. I almost bought a Rolex like 13 years ago. I was always into watches too. That new mpc is sick bro. I can’t wait till you make more beats out of it.
Praise!
🙏🙏🙏
Congrats 💯💯💯💯💯
DJ rock cee! Thanks man. Some of your videos helped me out on this purchase and in decisions in upgrades. Your channel is everything. Thank you for what you do 💪
@@SauceSoundz 💪💪💪💪
Ayo bro, mad props keep making videos you showing up in my recommended! You doing things right much love, and I hope your studio grows🔥
Yo that's what's up thanks for letting me know. Got some cool ones coming out . Thanks for the luv 💪
Screen upgrade will do you justice congratulations on your new piece
Just installed one. I'm in love with this thing now. Thank you I really appreciate it
my homie made beats on one of those joints in the 90s. his drums were crazy!
That's exactly why I got it . 💪
Glad you were able to get a 3000! I won't use one after J-Dilla Blessed that machine unlike anyone ever will. My current go-to is the 2000xl (Blue Edition); the workflow + no fx on my unit = having to build and chop manually which is the way to do it in my book. Definitely agree the older units will gain value soon like the SP-1200.
Thanks man. I appreciate it and I'm loving it. I hear you but if u think like that than we can't touch the 2000xl after Pete rock, exile, Marco polo, Kanye etc. blessed it either 😅😅. Thanks for watcji6abd congrats on the XL. 8 outs are everything!
@SauceSoundz True I hear ya 👍
And if you have any other questions on the 3000, hit me up....
Best sequencer ever!
So far it's looking that way !
Do the old ones really sound that much better than the new ones
Sound is subjective but to me and to a lot of people they do. I got a 3k, a 2kxl, and a live 2 and I would def list them in that order in regards to sound IMHO.
Btw look up Bruce Forat in Cali he works/services Akai samplers. Get it looked at, saludos 🙏🏻👊🏻💯
Oh word yeah he's the man thanks
What a beautiful machine……
Thanks my bro
@@SauceSoundz hell yeah bro, you gotta drop an album now that you got new equipment lol that’s the ritual
@@dbeeesbeats haha got some beats I'm working on now. So far I'm loving it . It's making me approach music a lil differently too
Dude the best was hard. Especially with the added video
Thanks man appreciate it. Def got some better stuff on the way
@@SauceSoundz I can dig it
The contrast button under the record level is a push in light.
It happens to everyone lol.
I just replaced the screen. It was completely burnt out. Thanks though man I appreciate it
Editing numbers use the left-right cursor button for bigger increments thousands instead of hundreds combine with jog dial..
Omg dude thank you so much 🙏🙏🙏
@@SauceSoundz luv bro, u got my old setup made crazy beats with that thing, can't replicate in DAW, use to have the 2000XL. Google ''Jazzcat Akai'' our go to guy for all things MPC in the UK, I think the LCD screen might be a kit, I know they are in old akai like S950 and S3000xl, in meantime try contrast button my G, annoying when u can't see or put a lamp over it😂,proper old school. Subbed
The 3 thou is a beast 💪
Word it is
Congratulations!
Thank you!
Huge inspiration
Thanks for watching 🙏
Congratulations
Thank you! I appreciate it!
I had both i still like 2000 xl more... Sound is almost identical i love waveforms on xl can chop faster effects and you can resample on xl. I just like it more but visualy 3000 is so beautifull
I'm still trying to figure out what I like best. I'm not sure about the sound part.. especially when you add the 8 outs to the mix . For whatever reason 8 outs on the 2000xl aren't as strong as the stereo outs. But choppin is way more fun on the xl. But as far as which one I like more, I still don't know. Something about the xl just calls me... I'll do a sound test sometime this summer between the units. Thanks for watching
@@SauceSoundz I was wondering how you were doing with the 3000 now that you've had it for a while?
I was just reading what you said about not knowing with one you preferred, the XL or the 3000. I've got both too and the answer for me is both. There are some tracks that I know that, for a certain feel it's better to use the 3000, where as others I know for how I want it to sound it's best to use the XL. With both the 3000 and the XL I can use either the stereo outs or the individual outputs.
Both MPCs sound amazing through the individual channels on my Soundcraft Signature mixer although sometimes I want the glue from balancing the mix in the MPC and exporting it from the stereo outputs. They both give me the sound that I want, I'm efficient with the workflow so I have resisted buying a modern MPC.
What's your verdict with the two MPCs?
@@RoomAtTheTopStudio maaannn... I can say with no hesitation that the 3000 has taken the main stay at my desk. The 2000xl I do use when I wanna just chop something up and wanna make something quick .. (generally speaking) my live 2 sad to say I have turned it on like 3 times this yr.. it's cool but after getting 8 outs I haven't looked back. The XL is amazing and I have so much fun on it and I do love the sound. I make different kind of music on each unit, I do straight chops mostly on The XL where the 3k I kind of think about what I'm gonna do more like fitting pieces to a puzzle. And I've made some wack beats on the 3k and even tho there wack the fact that the sound is so damn good I end up kind of liking them. So yea the 3000 is it for me, plus I feel like it does midi better. Thanks for checking in. I'll do an update video eventually. Hope all is well with you my brother
@@SauceSoundz Thanks for letting me know. Like you I do straight chops type work on the XL and things that bounce with the 3000. I'm fast at chopping on both the 3K using my ears and numbers, as well as with the wav form on the XL. For MIDI I kinda like the XL a bit more but I use the 3K or the XL to control a poly and a mono synth so it's just a case of what seems a little more easier to do. They both sound amazing IMO. It's great to see someone who uses and loves the same tools as I do. I look forward to more content from you
@@RoomAtTheTopStudio thanks man I wanna hear you do more with that Moog!
What monitor speakers are in the background ?
Focal shape 65s
Hey bro, push in the Little button under the volume and record button. Sometimes the light is off because it has been pushed down.
Wow man thanks a lot I appreciate it 🙏
Nice… I miss my MPC 60II 😭
Man I would love to have one of those too
Yea an MPC 60II fully loaded memory, OS and scsi upgrade and a 3000 would def be goals..
I was going through a bad divorce and I stupidly left it at a studio and forgot about it for 3 months and when my head cleared back up the studio had changed hands and idk wth happened to it.. want to see a grown man cry? Lol that was me.. my syquest and Iomega drives along with all my Akai and personal 3.5” disks, 2 Event 20/20 Bas monitors and monitor stands… gone! I’ve had 3 instances in my life where gear disappeared or got lost everytime it devastated me.
Ayo don't feel bad man, if its the same MPC I saw on reverb there might be some shady ish going on with it. In any case nice come up hermano! Salute 💯🙏🏻👊🏻
I def see it. I knew it was gonna be a hoopty . Haven't seen anything major yet besides the screen. But I can tell something ain't right with it. Let's hope it's just cosmetic 🤞. And parce muchos gracias!
@@SauceSoundz Oh my bad bro didn't mean your unit, that was a come up for real. I meant the one that got away, yeah researched it and something seems suspicious. So you got blessed brother!
Reverb doesn't show prices settled on. It should. It keeps prices high. You can only sell if people are buying, and people aint buying now
Prices on everything are crazy. I much rather buy new in most cases because of it
now you can use stems in your live 2 and resample into your 3000
That's gonna be fun. Can't wait til it comes on standalone
@@SauceSoundz yup its on stand alone now.. I will be in tune with your content.. I just got me a 4000
@@SheCallsMeTyrone 4000 bro I was debating heavy on getting that. I gotta hear how that thing sounds!
@@SauceSoundz it sounds solid many different options ... either record in analog or edit and chop loops etc in a DAW then do a file transfer to alternate the work flow.. got some tape decks to route sounds in there too and will purchase a trumpet because I play for years time to really sample haha
@@SheCallsMeTyrone now that sounds dope. Make ur own pets rock horns 🎺🎺
The sample sounds like a MF doom
Thanks man. He's one of my favorite producers
I had em all the the 2500 my favorite or the 4000..
If I had to start out now fresh I would def prob get that 2500. The Jjos and the 8 outs make it a monster.
@@SauceSoundz facts
Sauce sounds has all the gear
Hahaha tryin to get to like 1/8 of your arsenal! Peace bro 💪
@@SauceSoundz you got a 3000 I’m pretty sure I looked at that one before because of that tape residue. Congrats my brother
👍
Nah it's the most expensive used older Akai MPC of all time especially it being limited edition of the 3000
I'm happy 😊 for you brother May Yahweh bless you 🙏
Thanks my brother. I appreciate that
Much love brother and may Yahweh bless you and your music 🎶 🎵 🙏
Jesus dude, over 16 mins til its even plugged in 😅
hey man I was excited 😂😂
My understanding is the 3000 has a feel. Not a sound. That its known for. Sell it and get the Rossum. Sound and feel
It def has a sound compared to the others I own. But I do wanna get an sp1200 at some point . Hopefully sooner than later
If ypu werent rocking lo like stadium 92 series or avirex or pelle leathers back in the days you werent rocking hot gear
Had a few of the stadium joints 🔥

Word 👑
What is the ROI of this old ass MPC?
Happiness lol
Oh you must be new.
You should google it.
All that money for no record deal or radio play? For something that old. A fool and his money shall soon part LOL
2000xl pads and 3000 pads are not the same *3k mp is much softer
Oh ok thanks for the heads up. I noticed they feel a lil different and the color is a bit darker on the xl. Appreciate it
Nothing like a Rolex. Certain watches and cars are literally investments.
Not so much for technology.
You don't even need a "box" to make beats anymore.
You have software now.
A lot of these older machines can be had for a song.
REVERB..is way overpriced for a lot of their gear.
A old mpc is not like a synth. The 3000 can’t do 10 percent of what the new mpcs can do. I wouldn’t want that thing taking up space in my studio. But have fun.
You’re wrong bro. the 3000 can do a lot more than 10%. In fact, it can do almost everything a modern mpc can do, if you’re willing to customize it. The sequencer has a natural “swing” to it that just can’t find anywhere on anything, believe me, I’ve tried everything, I heard that Roger Linn put an algorithm in it, that intelligently nudges midi data into a certain spot to give it the most “swing”. the sound of it, also has yet to be duplicated, something about those filters, but it makes everything sound fatter, warmer, better. You can make a great beat on a 3000 without barely even trying. I would say an mpc3000 can do 70% of modern mpc, but what makes it special are its unique features That no modern mpc has.
Some people ain’t built for it.
Less talking more previewing please
