    this was so helpful . thank you so much for taking the time to add the files. Such a big difference listening to the full mix vs just playing a drum loop AB. That 3K sounds BEEFEY Thank you

    The 3k has way more body to the sound and much punchier sounding drums, but too be completely fair I’ve been using the 2kxl for like 7 years now and have learned that it all comes down to good mixing, with the 8 outs and a decent mixing console you can get beats on the 2kxl hitting just as hard as any other sampler out

    I’m listening to this video using a JBL Charge4 bluetooth speaker. The sound difference is borderline dramatic. The 3000 is more punchier while the 200xl is more fluffier but good. But I would prefer the 3000.

    3000 more punchy and full but 2000xl was warmer on the tone especially in the kick drum

    I like the way it sounds coming from the 2000xl, it sounds a little more balance the mix but the 3000 sounds a little more punchier.

    Excellent Video Rock. Keep them coming bro. I have the mpc Force, the Maschine MK3, the 2000xl, the ASR-X, and i had the EMu SP1200, and had the Maschine Mk2. So i do know what you talking about when you say ... "just can't touch that ole school feeling from those MPC's and that EMU and Asonic. Beautiful bro. Its not about money, its about the culture.

    3:52 MPC 2000XL vs 4:46 MPC 3000 But 3000 has extra snare on 5th to 8th bar. You didnt include that in the 2000XL version. At any rate, I didnt know that the XL had so much grit compared to 3k. I would love to hear a 2k vs 2kxl. I heard mfs say that 2k has more grit than 2kxl. Never touched a 2kxl. I prefer nothing but pads on the right side and no swivel screen.
    I agree on workflow. I used a 60II and 3k in the early 90s. Then used a 2k in the late 90s. I never looked back.
    I disagree on quality. That ish is subjective. Some people believe that vinyl has better quality than CDs. Some people disagree.

    I come from the 2000XL & REN. I’ve always wanted a 3K since like ‘07. Is it true that the 3K doesn’t load .pgms only .snds? 🤔

    The 3000 has better kick transients and it's easy to tell, given the fact that both samples where recorded under the exact same conditions.

  • @Ink0ne415
    @Ink0ne415 5 років тому +5

    To me it depends on what you going for, the XL got that grit and you can here it no doubt. The 3000 reminded me of rehashed mp60 2 roger Linn just cleaner warmer sounding. The grit is what makes your drums knock in my opinion grab a sp1200 for that tru grit.

  • @peppercrybeatz
    @peppercrybeatz 2 роки тому +1

    I’ve made rap beats on the 3000 and they do sound amazing, but the 2000 sounds grittier to me on this video. It depends what sound you’re going for I guess

  • @Metamophisis

    On the 2KXL you can convert drums from 16 to 12 bit or even 8 bit. It doesn’t show it in the manual you will have to get a ebook for that trick 😉

      Metamophisis way back I accidentally stumbled across it, resampled a 10 second sample and full thought my mpc froze, but for some reason I left it going and came back to it an hour odd later and it revealed to me how gritty this thing can get haha!

    The output fidelity on the 3000 is crisp and more tight.it also has a bit more gain and better sound imaging while the 2000xl has that grit but its a bit muddy and airy. i love the XL but to me the 3000 gives that tight punch.

      @Jedeteach I had the same experience between the 2000XL and the 3000. When I sampled a kick hihat and a snare into the 3000 for the first time I was sold and I had to have it. The sound jumps out at you like it's 3D compared to the 2000XL. IMO the 3000 sound has dynamic width. I didn't appreciate that until I tried it for myself. Those who think that's nonsense haven't tried it
