Reason vs MPC

[N.Y.S.O.M.]

wassup gang i was at my boys crib in harlem he has Reason he does his drums n all that but i like my mpc for drums n sample it feels like im gettin closer to Reason then my mpc if i knew how to mess wit redrum n all that i would but im tryin to keep my mpc in the loop

not sure of your question, but REASON RULES!

I was thinking about getting an MPC but I dont see where it could step my game up really...in Reason 4.0, I can basically get my drums to swing how I want them so right now an MPC would be a waste of money to me.

MPC puts off a different sound, but the options available in Reason are endless vs. an MPC being limited.

Not unless it starts collecting dust. You could always hold onto it. Im just saying they both have benifits. You could always use your Mpc as a controller or somthing else for your station you know.

DON'T SELL IT! UNLESS YOU'RE COPIN' THE MPD32!

Use it as the number one controller. That way you keep the feel of beating on the pads. I have my MPC as the main controller and my Axiom 25 is in the chain as well. Ableton Live as my main DAW with Reason Rewired. An unbeatable combo!

Wow, that's a crazy statement.

To save us from a three page thread, let's just agree that Reason has limits too and some of them are quite illogical. - Especially for it to be at version 4.0. The same workarounds/fixes/adjustments/extra steps are just as easily utilized on an MPC.

Pound for pound, dollar for dollar, workflow for workflow.
I say stick to your personal preferences and let that guide your decision(s).

 

[Kontents]

Agreed, but My statement referring to reason being limitless is based off the fact that its software based with rewire and numerous frequency tweaks.

 

[Griffin Avid]

Yes, I agree too, but that's like also saying my MPC + this other stuff is ...unlimited.

I love Reason too, hell reason 4 is that joint BUT!!!!

A sampler that doesn't sample?
An all-in-one that doesn't record audio?
Or host VSTs/vsti?

That needs a more powerful app (what will REwire and also NOT host VSTs or record live audio?) to be fully realized?

You can't even Rewire Recycle. That's plain crazy.
And I always hear from (strictly) software cats how their approach is more flexible and thus *better*.
Strange how that never translates to their tracks.
I have yet to hear it or get any meaningful angles besides "What I can do if I wanted to".
But it's always impractical stuff that leads nowhere.

Oh no I'm falling into the three page thread trap..

Well Put! lol.

Honestly Just having the option to make beats with the MPC or with Reason is productions main keys to being versitile. You have options to produce at two different methods.
