I just picked up an akia s2000... for a really good price.

anyone have any good tips for me about this piece of equiptment??

-D.

i hear it works great as paper weight..




you should get MESA if you insist on using the akai.. greatly facilitates workflow

old skool sampler crew!!!!!

Definatley Old School


I downloaded MESA, and as I have a few old PPC's in the garage I figgured I could now put one of them to work in the studio. I guess I like the Idea that ReCycle! can send the sample to the sampler and I can then sequence in Cubase as per usual (I know I could just use the .rex in Cubase, but it was a good price). I also thought of trying to find an old Amiga for that truely old school feel... But, shall see how I get along with the akai first.

Is this the one with the classic 'jungle' timestretch algorithm?

Think that's the s950 mate.

I still love using harware. Plus you always get no latency and leave CPU available for other stuff. I still totally use my Emu for most of my tracks...

Just bought myself an Akai S3000XL before christmass, its mad such a difference to the overall sound of my tunes compared to my 8 out soundcard, Best buy ever.

you did indeed, thanks a million.

ps: can the fx be assigned to just one output (ie: output 1 rather the been set to output 1+2)?

the s2000 time stretch is really cool ... and the low pass filter is great as well ...

S2000 is the lick. I love mine to bits. I dunno how to timestretch or nothing on it, I do stuff in weird ways!

I just think it kicks ass.
