What wid it boss! About the MPC, it's really just a matter of 'will buying this gear better suit my needs or the needs of my clients'? In most cases the realistic answer is no. But...a lot of these cats don't know shit. The first question people ask is 'do you use an MPC?' (which is usually followed by 'do you use a Triton'?). These dumb-dumbs think that because their favorite super-producer uses an MPC, if they buy one too, their music will magically become like theirs. Gear is only a tool, it's a creative mind and real talent that count the most. None-the-less, if your studio is open to the public, I'ld put an MPC in there atleast just for show.
If you arn't really going to benefit, spend the money on gear you will get more use out of. MPC 2000 series are common, you'll always be able to find good deals on them. Theres countless amounts of people who bought them thinking they'ld be transformed into their favorite super-producer the moment they turned it on but then found out real quick that making hot beats isn't as simple as buying an MPC.
People forget, an MPC is only a midi sequencer with a built-in downscaled sampling option. It's really only useful when you have a lot of midi gear you need to use at the same time (in which case you'ld want a 60, 60ii or 3000 since the 2000 series only has 2 midi-outs while all the others have 4).
