"J Dilla Flipped on his 3000 so hard, it ended up in the Smithsonian" - Great quote
Lol. thanks..he flipped it crazy.
Yeah. I went to see it and you can feel his energy. No lie....
Amp Fiddler should be going nuts. He showed him the basics and took it 10 other levels. Lol
@@DyReckProductions frank said in an interview that Jay dee's mpc was stock. not upgraded at all.
@@titanjake8640 Lol. I feel u.
@@DyReckProductionsYou need to hire a new research team. Almost all of Teddy Riley’s hits came long before the MPC 3000 existed. The MJ Dangerous album was recorded in 1990ish, for instance.
Shout out to you for having DJ QUIK open this segment. Quik is one of the most slept on but at thr same time highly respected producers in the game.
Thanks fam. And your right.
One of the GOATs
Facts bro!
Jay Dee’s 3000 is like Jimi’s white Strat.
Lol. I feel u.
Nah, Teddy Riley already had the daddy for the mpc3000 which was the MPC 60. Teddy didn't skimp on new equipment. He was the first producer in New York State to score the MPC60. 90% of his hits came from it. He would also be able to afford many MPC3000s when it came out. Maybe he borrowed QTIPs Machine when he didn't have his on him, but it is hard to see him throwing away his old MPC60. It swings even better than the 3000 and bangs even more with 12 bit grit. Teddy had an SP12 or 12000 I believe. I have both the 3000 and the 60, but I prefer the mpc60 with the new MPC3000 software upgrade for hard swinging dirty crusty hip hip. .The MPC 3000 itself still does my the bulk of my work though. It is better for long samples , clarity and deep basses with it's filter. The mpc60 can still sound clean depending on what and how you sample. . Both great machines.
3000 is the flow master the swing is on point and the sound can be gritty or gold ...the Champ never left.
Lol. I feel u.
Only the real know how influential this mpc is. I remember being a kid dreaming about one of these lol
Facts!! Me too.
Not as a kid, but in my adulthood it is a big dream...
We’re still dreaming in 2020
I grew up down the street from E40s dad. Earl has two half brothers. O e of them was big into music. He's the first person who showed me an mpc. He had a 3000 laying on the floor. I couldn't believe those pads were how you triggered to music lol.
still dreamin
This was pitch perfect. Yeah, the 3000 was the Hattori Hanzo of Production. My homie ended up with an MPC60mk II, but everybody was getting in on it by the time the MPC2000 came out. My favorite was the MPC2500 because of storage. I was a computer geek and I saw how the MPC was going to need to evolve to stay relevant. They almost lost it after the 5000... Welcome back #AkaiPro
Lol. I feel u.
I love all the MPC drum machines. My favorite being the 2500.
The 2500 is dope..I like the sound.
the 3000 and the 4000 is king and queen easy.. i just can't decide in which order haha! 60ii is the prince?
I think the 2000XL might be the prince
There all royalty lol.
Ricky I have all 3 plus a SP-1200. Tryna answer a question like that will drive you nuts... I love all my babies... lol😆
@@thadirtyabbott33 I’ve owned to SP-1200 and it’s best used as strictly a controller for the S950 or the Ensoniq ASR-10 IMO. I hated the limited sample time and those weak ass filters on each channel. The MPC totally shits on it in sound quality, features and functionality. Not knocking those who love the SP but I just couldn’t wrap my mind around why it was considered by some on par or better than the 3K and the 60 or 60II back then when it’s obviously not but to each it’s own 🤷🏾♂️
@@willie8707 I'm a gearhead and music enthusiast to the fullest...
What the sp brings to the table the MPC's don't. And vise versa that's the beauty.
It's like dating and appreciating women and all their differences before you settle with one. If you ever....
Not to hijack the thread but to me.... The lack of sampling time ''forces you to be calculated and creative with your choices of technic, approach and samples.
Now people have computers and samplers where you can sample a whole album +. And the music hasn't gotten better because of that.
I put it to you like this...
My 3000 is at the center of my studio and not neglected at all. But I use my 60II the most and it's only got 26 seconds of sampling time... 👍🏾
The mpc 3000 has the heart of the mpc 60 those machines have that groove when you turn the quantize off just like the SP1200 it has a certain signature groove that makes that snare crack hard I always use the SP1200 as a controller for everything it turns loops on the ones different than anything out there
I feel u fam.. you definitely feel the groove on this machine.. it comes alive lol.
Props for having that throwback DJ Quik interview, he was dropping knowledge in that one. That's classic pre-youtube video.
Yeah man.
Loving this series! Greatest MPC ever. Hope you do the ASR 10 & X in the future.
No doubt.
Still got mine! I wouldn’t even think of selling it.
I feel u.
Still got mine also
Having had just about every MPC besides the MPC 60, the 3000 was a truly remarkable machine. I regret getting rid of mines and I had 2. The 4000 to me is second to it but in certain things I would rank it number one but overall the 3000 is truly a work of art.
'rid of mines' 😅 you are plural?
Man I needed this, I used to be obsessed with all the Akai,Emu and Ensoniq boxes. They all have flavor of their own. Don’t forget the legendary rack mount entries, like the S950, S2800 and the EMU Emax. Of course they didn’t have the coveted sequencer but what an amazing combo with the 3000 sequencer. Definitely my favorite of all the series.
No doubt the rack mounts are nice..If you dont mind the space it takes up you basically can get the vintage sound engine and features of any legendary mpc minus the sequencer..and for a good price.
I bought a 3000LE at my local pawnshop for $800 in good condition a few years ago. Still own it and will never get rid of it. Long Live The 3000.
No disrespect but I find that hard to believe
@@djrek521 got mines for $850 in 2016
@Dj Rek - I ain't gotta lie to kick it. I even bought an ASR-10 for $350 at my local pawnshop.
The 3000LE is being sold for crazy money on eBay for $4000-$5000! I'll never sell my LE.
I was 14 when this machine came out. When I turned 18 I still wanted one but couldn’t afford one. Never owned one but worked on a few in various studios. Lovely machine. Built like a tank.
Yeah man.
Bangladesh made a vid showing how he made A-Milli using the 3000...straight 🔥🔥🔥
Oh ok dope!
It was a 2000xl not 3000
@@babar141 , you’re right my bad lol.
Bruce Forat who use to work for Roger back in the Linn 9000 days stepped to Roger linn after the release of the MPC 60/60II and told him he was working on a new project and asked if Roger would be interested Roger said he was out the drum machine business .Bruce told him to take a look at what he was working on a little while later the MPC 3000 came out the akai rep came to my house to see what us hip hop kids was doing with them cause at that time they were primarily sold to studios cause them joints was around 3500.00 before tax back then . Side note I was the first of 5 to get one of these in Canada when they first dropped and ended up copping the MPC 3000 LE #0009 when they came out a few years later .
Yup that's facts... I just talked with Bruce... He even showed me a picture of him working on stuff when he was younger working for Roger. Might be on his sight not sure.
Oh ok cool..I know Bruce hooked up everybody's MPC's.
@@DyReckProductions Yeah Bruce is a Master Jedi of The MPC 3000
3000 is boss but 60 is killer too
BROTHA, YOURE DOIN' GODS WORK!!!!
POWERFUL & INFORMATIVE SERIES!!!!
BLESS....
P E A C E!!!
Same here..Thanks fam.
I've had the MPC 60ii, 2000, 2000XL, the 4000 and now the Live. I started out on the original 60, in '88. I've also used the SP12 and 1200 extensively. Out of all these machines, the MPC4000 is the Grand Champ. A total beast and my favorite to use. #akai #legendary
No Doubt fam.
Making a beat on a new MPC is like ordering take away. Making one on a 60 or a 3k is like bow hunting yourself an elk and eating it raw.
Dyreck, you got some of the dopest content on YT
Lol. thanks
"and thier aliens...so you know its out of this world" LOL good stuff brother! Yea The 3k always sits as the KING of MPCs. The 4k and even the X is good....but the 3k will always reign.
Lol. I feel u.
I used Reason for so long that when I got the MPC X I was not impressed. But I still love and use my MPC 2500.
@@edwinragland2883 Its def. not for everyone...but as far as sheer bells and whistles...there isnt much it cant do though....swing, and all its full of goodness...the DAW itself needs work but the unit itself is robust.
I still love the 4,000, you can do anything on a 4000 especially as good as it's timing is. You can turn the timing off on the 4000 and it's exactly what you play in it. Not to mention if you go into its inputs digitally, you can use any converter as it's front end.. so theoretically, it can sound like whatever you put in it also.. that makes it a beast.
They made the 4k future proof..Its still a beast till this day,
Got the MPC 2000, SP 1200 and the ASR 10 and still use them from time to time today. Have since purchased the Mpc One for ease of beats in FL. I hate the "connect the dot" beat making. With all, I have all the clean and grimy sounds I need. Love the old school gear with the new.👍
Today my favorite is the MPC X. It just comes off. I like that it's fast getting an idea down. 2.10 update 🔥
*The Teddy Riley portion is wrong concerning the MPC3000. He had already worked in QTip's studio, worked on 2 Guy albums, & worked on Michael Jackson's Dangerous album years before the 3000's 1993 release.*
Yeah he was on the 60
Tell em for me. Teddy was using the mpc 3000 daddy which was the mpc 60. I have both. I prefer the sound of the 60. The 3000 sequencer is better though. I use both.
J Dilla did quantize certain aspects - the foundation of the beat like the hi hats, the kick , - right on the grid lines. He did a swing quantize as well that sounds like 'by feel' . There' s a mythos there that has been hyped up a tad.
Oh ok ..Might be right on that.
I actually just got back from Washington D.C. and was able to see J DILLA's MPC 3000 and every single beat was going through my head as I stood there for 5 min.
Lol I feel you..Thats dope!
The 3k timing was just different. Don’t believe the “myth” lie. What people don’t realize is that “swing” is not just about timing but also velocity. Roger did something in that unit…. It’s subtle but noticeable. You could turn the swing off and loop a straight Billie Jean drum intro groove and the magic still happens. It’s the 3k. Everybody knew this. Radio ready out the box.
Roger Linn lifted the curtain on his secret groove sauce a little while back:
"My implementation of swing has always been very simple: I merely delay
the second 16th note within each 8th note. In other words, I delay all
the even-numbered 16th notes within the beat (2, 4, 6, 8, etc.) In my
products I describe the swing amount in terms of the ratio of time
duration between the first and second 16th notes within each 8th note.
For example, 50% is no swing, meaning that both 16th notes within each
8th note are given equal timing. And 66% means perfect
swing, meaning that the first 16th note of each pair gets 2/3 of the
time, and the second 16th note gets 1/3, so the second 16th note falls
on a perfect 8th note triplet. The fun comes in the in-between settings.
For example, a 90 BPM swing groove will feel at 62% than
at a perfect swing setting of 66%. And for straight 16th-note beats (no
swing), a swing setting of 54% will loosen up the feel without it
sounding like swing. Between 50% and around 70% are lots of wonderful
little settings that, for a particular beat and tempo, can change a
rigid beat into something that . "
Wow interesting..Real creative way of thinking.
Good to see the thumbnail game is improvin 👍🏾
Thanks fam.
It still is the greatest drum machine ever.
Lol. I feel u.
Dilla 🎶🤟🏿 Detroit Stand Up
Lol. No doubt.
Almost a crime u hadn't mentioned Zaytoven or Shawty Red or Lil Jonn but then again the list is pretty long cause the 3000 has been the king for a long time! I've used one some, mainly just tracking out other peoples beats tho. But my trusty mpc 1000 still right by my side.
Yeah..The list goes on and on for the 3000..Awesome machine.
favorite MPC is the 2500, midi'ed to the S3000. I used the 2500 for samples, and the S3000 for all my drums. To this day, I'm chasing that sound again.
Nice set up.
An MPC2500 and JJOS with the XL screen is soooooooooo Dope!!!!!
My beautiful baby mi 3000 is a goddess 😜the warmth, punch on low end and the groove swing timing is unmatched. This thing switch on load samples and make a track and it bangs hard straight outta the box. I will never sell my 3000 ever!!!
I feel you!!..They cost a fortune right now.
Truth, on my MPCX I have my setting to MPC3000 and every track has the Sp1200 and then followed by the MPC3000 vintage plug in..
Lol. I feel u.
I remember people trash talking the MPC2000s when they came out, calling them cheap chinese made rubbish, and a step backwards after the 3000.
But the MPC2000 stood the test of time, didn't it?
I'm curious if the MPC has anything unique to offer these day, has got that MPC swing using a DAW?
The mpc 3000 had the best a/d converter but the newer workflows are better, yes i can say that...i used linn 9000 to the mpc5k next week ill test out the ren
My personal favorite is the MPC 5000. Incredible device.
Nice.
Man good looks. I just typed “dyrek mpc3000” last night and was like man no 3000 video??? Well look what we have today 😁
Lol..No doubt.
The best series on RUclips bro. Good ish Native shades what had happened was.. lol about to get on my Mpc live 2 retro rn.
Oh ok the retro looks nice..I was thinking of getting one.
@@DyReckProductions it’s pretty dope. Thanks for your amazing content
Dilla didn't turn quantize off. That's one of the biggest myths thats hurt young producers who think that's the trick to good drums. Before they even know how to make good drums with quantize.
Dilla tweaked the swing settings and would put some snares a grid point off but you can tell his beats are quantized even when snares were off
The Mack 10 album cover ''The Recipe'' sealed the deal for me when I saw it! Go look it up... SHIT'S MEAN!!!!
Lol..yeah I just peeped..nice.
Im obsessed wit the akai mpc 2000 and 3000 plus the asr 10… i dont have either yet lol
Lol..you'll get em soon.
Beat Thang...wha had happen was
Lol.Yeah I did that video..The beat thang had potential when it first came out.
I owned the Akai MPC 3000 LE. It had a sturdy built and swallow menus. It also had a slightly darker sound for a 16 bit sampler. However it also lacked a lot of features like time stretch pitch shift and wave editing. I just don’t see why people are paying $6000 for 30 year old technology.
Only reason I think people are paying so much for these old pieces of gear is because of famous producer used them and for some reason they think they can be like J dilla or whoever.
Can could never be like anybody but yourself and buying the same gear as your favorite producer won’t change that.
Older gear is the more tedious to use and new gear has better workflow.
I hear you..Most people love the 3000 for the sound..Alot of the new stuff even though there good..Sometimes cant give you the punchiness or artifacts the old stuff can give and on some tracks it makes a difference.
@@DyReckProductions The sound isn’t that much different from the other MPC’s though. I think it’s more in peoples heads than anything else. It must be the fact that a lot of “legendary” producers have work with this machine.
@@Number1DriversSeat Dr Dre did make it a must have.
@@DyReckProductions Dr.Dre also used a 50-piece Orchestra along with the mpc3000. I think a 50-piece Orchestra is out of the reach for most burgeoning producers.
@@Number1DriversSeat Lol.
I have every MPC. the 3000 had a groove. the 4000 most features but too many menus so it ruined the workflow. I always resorted back to the 2000xl. straight too the point and most reliable in the clutch
I feel you..If you want to just bang out your beats the 2000xl is dope!
Great Video! MPC 3000! is the GOAT! I Still Have My MPC 3000
No doubt.
The 4K, 3K, 2000XL and MPC X. In that order were the best MPC’s I’ve ever used. The 4K and the X are the best of the lot when it comes to features for me. As far as non-MPC’s it’s the Ensoniq ASR-10 and the EPS-16+. The dopest midi combinations for me was when I had the EMU SP-1200 controlling the ASR-10, the SP-1200 controlling the Akai S950 and the MPC 2000xl controlling the ASR-10. I’ve been blessed to have sold and bought tons of setups in my lifetime. I currently own a 4K, a MPC X and an Ensoniq ASR-10. I use them all separately.
Nice studio set up..Iconic equipment and sound. You got the clean sound of the 4k but also the warm low end kind of sound with the asr.
I was waiting for this video. 🔥👍🏿😎
Lol. no doubt.
I love the MPC 60 - the only drum machine that looks like it could ring up your groceries!!
Lmao!
We Love You 😅
Oh I knew what Teddy was using. 😂
Just found your channel, this is fire. Looking forward to more of these
No doubt fam.
MPC3000 is the 🐐 of MPCs.
Lol. I feel u.
Word!
Bruh MJ head snapping for a snare is golden 😂
Lol yup.
The sp 1200 and mpc 3000 made the golden era of hip hop
Yeah fam.
I started out making beats with a non-sampling Akai product, the XR20 around when it came out. More of a groovebox but it got me into an MPCish workflow. Later down the line I got an MPC1000 with JJOS, and then went to the MPC Live eventually.
Oh ok nice..I remember wanting to try The XR20 when it came out.
If Akai was to come out with a reissue on a MPC like Rossum SP1200, it should be the MPC 3000.
That would be dope!
6:45 that 3000 is fresh.
Lol Word!
I’m weak at the MJ impression lmao
Lol.
Got mine in 93 for 2800. She needs a lil work & storage mod but I cherish it til this day.The tricks I learned on there. Just copped the MP One 2 months ago. Oh damn
Lol..Nice.
Your review had groove like the 3000!
Lmao. Thanks fam.
Jay Dee aka J Dilla, Dr Dre, Dj Quick were on MPC3000
Yup.
I'm going to look into this very soon but as of right now: Don't tha SP1200 do tha same thing, if not more ? Again, I am gong to look into this but once you put tha sounds into either one of these machines, it's tha buttons and faders that make all of tha magic happen ( AFTER ) you run sounds through these machines, right.
Plus I always wondered why I never really heard a kick and a snare by itself, it was stolen / sampled, lol.
Dog I really like this video series and the insights on the mpc evolution.
Thanks fam.
@Dyreck Productions. The MPC 3000 is classic and in time it was the best music/midi production groove box. But I truly believe with any MPC you can do the same thing you can do with 3000. You can make any MPC sound warm and grimey it what you put in it. With that said in my opinion I think the MPC X is the best MPC created. It has tons of features and chopping a sample is so easy with a few different ways of chopping. Also you can mix and master right in the MPC. You can use as a standalone or if you daw person you can hook it up to a PC. So and what happened was with mpc 3000 is time's changed and it's still over priced on Ebay
its damn near 5 grand lmao
I like the MPC x workflow..its fast its like a daw in a box..and you get your creative idea out quick.
Such a sweet little box. Just awesome.
I had a MPC60mkII and get busy now with my X but the 3000 was the only one I owned that I actually miss!
Is there something the 3000 has the the X doesn’t?
@@mattmediate6928 Not at all. Just at times you have some equipment you rock with so well that you get emotionally attached to. And for me it was the 3G
J Dilla turned the lights off on the MPC quantization department 😅😂
Word!
Note: I think Mel Man really programmed Dre MPCs. Ala Chronic 2001....my opinion
Side side note: I never used Quantize even before lol! It makes it too on beat and tite
Facts. And he was from VA too. My city. 💯.
Definitely wit you on the Mel Man thing... He the first one I ever saw wit a tricked out 3000 by my homeboy Bruce Forat...
@@thadirtyabbott33 yessir Forat is the homie
@@titanjake8640
Yep just talked wit him... Been rockin' wit dat dude well over 20 years...
I use to always use quantize and just play the hats in realtime.. but lately i been leaving it off.
I saw a used maxed out 3000le online the other day for $5000. If I only had the dough on hand haha
Wow! thats crazy!..the price on this thing will never drop lol.
Something tells me this beat making machine box may still be an expensive purchase.
Yeah man..It still cost about the same price as when it came out lol.
It’s interesting that you said havoc after Dre. I feel those two producers are very similar. Simple grooves and hard drums.
I have owned several versions of the MPC. My top 3 is 3000, 2500, and Renaissance. Just got the MPC key so wondering how I will like that.
No doubt.
Loving these videos! Just found the channel
Thanks fam!..I appreciate it.
I still have my MPC 2000, and I love her to this day, but I need to fix her up because of dead parts, :)
What video is that with Havoc and the japanese subtitles?
those mpc 60 3000 & 4000 prices are going through the roof its ridiculous.
Thanks 4 the serie of vídeos. Saludos amigo
Thanks fam.
let's put it this way.. Teddy Riley was just one of hundreds of producers using the Box.
Fam......just to be clear.......EVERY FEATURE you mentioned that people were waiting for except SCSI was available on the MPC60II. 8 audio outs, 4 MIDI outs and the groove. The 3000 brought 16 bit stereo sampling.
Regarding the Teddy Riley/Q Tip/Michael Jackson stuff, the 3000 wasn't even out yet. That was in 90. Rolling Stone did an interview on Teddy and mentioned the MPC 60.
@Dyreck Productions I love these videos
QUANTIZE OFFFFFF
Lol.
I saw one in a pawn shop in chicago for 500 bucks in 2009...didn't pick it up and I will regret it forever. lmao
Yay the 3000 🙏🙏🙏 what’s next the mpc60 ii or the sp1200
Lol..the sp is legendary.
Sounds like it's an instrument. Price should be whatever... guitarists expend more for a guitar or amplifier so if you like it, just save for it and go for it. That's it. Thanks for the video I have heard lots of love for the 3000 and 60 but never touched one so I can't say nothing more. :)
Your right though if you really want a piece of gear and you know your gonna use it..save and get it.
"And they're aliens!" man there's always one random line that makes me laugh, but for the rest of my life I'm gonna think that when I see Daft Punk 😂
Lmao!
MPC 3000 is a Beast.
Yeah man.
I remember looking at my music catalog figuring out which MPC to buy for the first time. I looked and saw the 3000SE and the 2KXL. I got the 2KXL. I always wonder what my life would have been like if I had gotten the 3000.
Lol. I feel u..The 2000xl is dope though.
J.dilla was the best on that mpc
ok, i watched three of your videos in a row. You win **subscribed**
Lol. Thanks fam.
@2:00 - it's not magic it's called Quantize (or no Quantize) - that's what makes or breaks all theses little boxes.
Lol.
MPC 500 And MPC 1000 are my first 2 I want the MPC2000XL and MPC3000 MPC 4000 MPC5000 I got to catch them all . My Favorite one is the MPC3000 overall J Dilla Inspired by.
Lol I feel you.
Behringer should make a simple 3000 clone for a cheap price. Sd card, usb connection, some more fx, more memory, no touchscreen but possibility to use a pc screen or ipad to edit the sequences (a la mv8800), and eurorack connection. Everything should be focused on the workflow. The 3000 was one that you could make beats at the same speed or faster than with a pc.
Good idea..You sound like you should be a developer.
tssss keep it low! Otherwise prices will go through the roof! Keep telling em kids that they need MPC Xs or Machines or what not ;)
Glad I bought my LE for $1200! Yeah... the 3000 is now going for $2000 - $4000 and the LE is $3000 - $5000 now on eBay.
