Reason isnt stiff if you dont program your drums to the 1/16th note inside the machine. If you dont know how to use an MPC right your shit will sound stiff and rigid too believe that. Having an MPC doesnt automatically make people beat making gods. You have to learn your equipment whether its hardware or software
I wouldnt mind an MPC just for the feel of quality pro gear though. I love the feel of those pads

Fuck that...here is what you do..
1.break open your piggy bank and get all your money together.
2.pedal your bike to the bank where your parents opened up an account for you and draw out all $35
3.pedal as fast as you can to the nearest guitar center...and dont stop at taco bell and trick your money off on them burritos..
4.Wait all night at the front door until they open at 10 A.M.
(make sure you dont leave for a second or someone may take your spot)
5.when the doors open run as fast as you can to the pro audio dept...kind of like you were running to get willy wonkas golden ticket.
Now if you are lucky they may have a box of fruity loops for ya...

so if you make crappy beats with an MPC, then what? you gonna buy something else or hang it up? Honestly people think getting a box with some pads on it is gonna make em kanye or some shit. There is still people making hits with the old ass ASR-10. its not the gear its how you use it
fuck it thoug if you have the bread and you really want one give it a shot. My deal with those is I wouldnt want to get one unless it was a 2500 because I want the 10 analog outs that the 1000 doesnt have, the 1000 has 4 unbalanced outs. . I would spend my money on alot of things before i'd drop 2 grand plus ram upgrades and shit for a 2500 though

^ when you track your redrum to the sequencer, click on the redrum sequencer track, and then go to 'edit mode' when you do this, the drum lane should already appear, click off everything else, expand the drum lane window, and do this
1. click off the magnet sign next to the grid size, and set the grid to 1/64 (so now your percussion isn't restricted). Remember what the grid size was before you change it, because you'll need to put it back after.
2. now move your zoom bar all the way to the left
3. now you can move freely your percussion to make it less 'stiff'
4. then click the magnet to 'on' and reset the grid back to it's normal setting (be it bar, 1/2 whatever you had it on) then all you need to do is delete your unwanted blocks, and copy and paste your amended ones in their place.
i do this, takes no time at all, and kind of fun to see what kind of sound you get.

shit i just use my padkontrol, i hate programming shit on a 16 step. its a pain in the ass. Before i had the pads i'd do it on my keys. I only programmed them in when i first got started. its too time consuming for me. Then I quantize fiddling with the settings a little bit so its not all 16th note stiff all the time. Fuck it sometimes i like it like that too depends on what im doing. I can't wait till reason 4 comes out and i'll have more control of the swing
good tip though sip, i'm gonna have to try that
