Re: Is it worth it to get a MPC 5000 when you already have Protools
Other alternatives to the MPC...
1. You could use the pads on your MPC-2000 to control the sounds in a software drum module like Native Instruments Battery....or FXpansion's GURU-which is a sound-source and a pattern sequencer which is sort of set up like an MPC.
2. You could check out Native Instruments Maschine, which a hardware/software drum solution along the lines of an MPC. A lot of people seem to like this one.
As to the computer--if you don't want to build one, consider a Mac...they can run Windows as well as OSX. The current iMac has a quad processor and a 27" screen for about 2k. Towers, of course, are quite a bit more.
