Little Phatty recording techniques with MPC 2500

Cicatrix · Post by **Cicatrix** » Tue Feb 23, 2010 12:13 pm

Hey, I was curious to which method people prefer to record their LP, who are using an MPC in their setup. Do you record directly into the MPC with audio track/JJOS or direct record/Akai OS? so you have a sample of your recording in the MPC. Or do you prefer to record midi data on the MPC and record the audio of the LP straight to your DAW instead? The way I was thinking of recording was the first way I mentioned, but with a 512c in front of the LP

. I actually do not have a LP yet but I plan on getting one in a week or two!

Well, I bought the Little Phatty Stage II today! I'm ampered up. It's going to be a long week until it gets here.

Hey thanks! I scooped one up at AudioMidiDeals. Yeah, it's a stage II. I was going to get one with the blue leds but when I saw what they were selling the original one with the yellow leds for I went for that one instead.

Ahh nice.. well good thing you got a stage 2.. the original was the tribute, and it was without some features, the stage 2 has all the updated features... the Blue LED's are more rare.. but personally I like the yellow ones better

Just looks so nice.

Actually after I thought about it, I tend to like the yellow better as well. Yellow has more of an analogness too it.

My Little Phatty arrived today

I've been messing with it for about two hours now and all I can say is this thing is straight meat! I'm definitely glad I picked this beast up.

I'm glad you like it! That's exactly how I felt before I got mine. All I can say, is it was the first thing I bought in quite a while that met and exceeded my expectations from it. First Moog, what a magical thing hahaha.
