also tidbits from long discussions from guys like young guru. i've taken frequency analyzers to these videos and audio. there are also minimal videos online comparing raw audio on different machines including the mpc 3000. in addition to stuyding the music of these guys. most of his snap came from the adsr inside the 3000. but im starting to come to the realization that dilla was pretty raw going into the 3000 for the most part. theres nuance there like what the rest of their chain is. dre, black milk and the drums and samples they use. everything i know comes from studying guys like j dilla, dr. The toughest part of all of this is not actually having any hands on experience with an actual mpc 3000. in hopes of recreating the magical sound of the mpc 3000. Ive spent a really long time studying different analog emulation plugins and their capabilities. it was starting to be emulated in plugins. and by the time i had the knowledge that this sound was analog and was essentially the opposite of digital sound. ignorance kept me pushing with the computer workflow. I'm the perfect age that I started making music in FL studio in 1999/2000 with computers, with the sound of the 3000 being my north star. I cannot stand the sound of digital and my brain simply isn't wired for clunky groovebox workflows. I daydream about digital emulation of the mpc 3000. I'm sure you guys would bring lots of info. I decided its time to direct this discussion here instead of living in my head. I probably think about this way too much.
