Good job and presentation... Also when you're checking the levels... Hit sound and #6. Move over to volume and see if you getting that extra boost to 200 from 100. And check the filters... Them filters are EVERYTHING!
Good video. I found mine in 2018 at a pawnshop. $650!! Man I was screaming. The next week someone brought in an MPC 60ii with external HD for $200. Man...both worked very well.
Got a 60 mk1 for the super low and had to replace the backlight, volume pot, full level tact and thats about it! pretty happy :) and upgraded the OS to Vimana 3.10! The unit already had the Ram upgrade.
Yo DJ Rock Cee can you please do a video on how to fix the ground on the sd drive and how to get rid of the headphone diatortion id really appreciate it. Love your tutorials man you have really help me upgrade my 3000
Replacing all the tact switches is not a bad idea on units this old anyway - however like mentioned in this video, I'd highly suggest a desoldering station and a lot of experience using it. Hopefully the MPC3000 control boards are not as flimsy as the 2000XL/4000 control boards. I went through and replaced every switch/fader/pot on my 2KXL/4K (and customized the LED colors on my 2KXL) - but even after many, many years of electronics repair, these MPC control boards are the ONLY PCBs I've actually managed to pull multiple pads off of. At least on the 2KXL/4K, the control boards are pretty cheaply/horribly constructed. Hopefully with the 3000 being older, they didn't go as cheap with the construction ...
Good stuff as usual DJ Rock Cee..My mpc is distorted at the main left channel and the headphones. I can only listen on one ear, i use a splitter or outboard mixer. Big thanks man, I will check out the ground issue. . The good thing is the 8 individual outputs are ok so I still can work for now. MPC3000 for $3000 to $7000? Why the hell Akai don't reissue these machines like they are now doing with the SP1200
@@DJROCKCEEENTERTAINMENT its sad man. Pity man ..They could both make a ton of money and make a lot of beatmakers happy. A newly designed 60 and 3000 with larger touchscreen, USB interface, and internal drive would sell faster than anything we have on the market now. Again, thanks for all that you doing for the culture. We appreciate it. Long live these machines. Long live the real hip-hop..
There will never be an MPC3000 reissue. The SP1200 reissue is being done by Dave Rossum himself, with his relatively small company. Ignoring the fact that the 3000 is a far more complicated unit (and would be far more difficult to "reissue"), a huge company like Akai is never going to do something like that.

mpc 3000 and mpc 60 on a whole build quality than any other mpc
Yeah man had similar experience with 2k switches. The boards is like paper plastic you know? Sux.
Make sure you ask alot of questions to the seller! Don't matter if you seem annoying.
lol
What is a good price for a 3000 LE in 2023 when the machine is in good Condition near Mint? Thx a lot in advance

I don't think we will ever see a re-isue mpc 3000 or mpc 60 because Roger Linn and Akai been at War for Many Years Over Money

You have any input on wav to snd file conversion software? Having a hell of a time finding a legit one - much love
sorry brotha I don't use converting software every I do on the mpc 3000 I sample in to get the best out of the machine !! one love bro !!
Yo family good channel. I have a question about soldering how can I contact you??
Could you explain the grounding issue when the headphone jack has a high pitched noise ? What do i ground to what ?
what you think about the mpc 3000 vailixi software?
best thing since slice bread
What is that device that sits below the mic (on the right) 🙏🏾
tascam mixcast 4 podcast mixer
Wow how cool ! Do you know how to ground the drive in order not to have the noise in the headphones ?
from the ground wire of the drive to the chassis of the mpc 3000
@@DJROCKCEEENTERTAINMENT all right ! I’ll try this to fix it thanks man
DJ Rock Cee, are you going to be selling any mpc 3000?
I will sell every machine I have but never the mpc 3000 or sp1200 lol
DJ ROCK-CEE Best hardware sampler channel No doubt!!🥰
thank you brotha !!
Just get a live/ or a X and make life easy
have those already and I don't use it
People are crazy paying that much for mpc 3000 lol You get a whole studio for 7000$
It’s a waste of money to pay that much money for a MPC 3000. I had the MPC 3000 LE back in the day.
