What machine did he run the mpc outputs thru to get that compression on the final beat? The drums always , especially the kicks, had a distinct knock in the mix. Even moka only shit, on certain albums of his, has a certain sound on the mix on the final sound of the beat. Ive used mpcs throughout my 'career' (until the past few years since i been on the roland sp joints and recording a lot of live one track at a time 8track shit)... Regardless tho, i could always get my drums kind of knocking on the mpcs, but i never ran the outs from the mpc into any processor to get that real good punchy final mix.

Im not using pro tools and still not on the software shit.

If anybody can drop some jewels itd be appreciated. Ive taken most of the year off from recording to get my headspace clear but im going to crank back up very soon and want to see if i can get this certain sound out of mu shit that im looking for. Still raw, but looking for that certain knock and snap on the back end.
