ogbama liked some posts in an old thread from 2010, our old warren buffet and industry discussion, man that was a good discussion, Id forgotten about thatLet us know how you like it!
Absolutely! I don't see alot of reviews but what I've seen have been very positive. I'll maybe even do a video or 2 if I get time.Let us know how you like it!
I saw that, we always did have fun lively debates. Makes me miss the old guard around here. I considered Relic, Dac, Stress all real life friends as we would talk on the phone, collaborate and sometimes even fly out to meet up. We all met here. I owe a lot to this place for sure.ogbama liked some posts in an old thread from 2010, our old warren buffet and industry discussion, man that was a good discussion, Id forgotten about that
That's amazing!I saw that, we always did have fun lively debates. Makes me miss the old guard around here. I considered Relic, Dac, Stress all real life friends as we would talk on the phone, collaborate and sometimes even fly out to meet up. We all met here. I owe a lot to this place for sure.
sucio, stress and I are still friends on FB and talk from time to time but both those guys are largely out of the game sadly. Relic fell off the face of the earth. Relic worked in the court system and has seen some shit. OMG did you ever hear the verse he did for me on a song where he played the part of an abusive boyfriend? He had seen so many court cases he made it super realistic. It still gives me chills check it out at 2:48 it’s NUTS.
yeah I agree, pads are quickly growing on me. Somebody has brought a nice controller to the studio an Alesis keyboard, the keys are weighted and its a joy to use, the 16 pads feel really nice to use. I want one, my oxygen61 just feels so cheap in comparison.You'll definitely appareciate having drum pads.
I used my midi keyboard for years.
Drum pads changed slightly the way i make drums. And how i use sample chops.
Getting a keyboard dramatically changes how you make melodies and such.
Getting a drumpad also adds a new dimension to how you play stuff.
I really can relate to the "kids are sleeping part time to create some music" part. Luckily, my kids are a bit older now and I can invest a few hours every week to make some beats.Thanks for the quick and in-depth replies you guys. Much appreciated!
Thanks @OGBama I wasn't aware of Qrates. Looks really interesting.
@thedreampolice Thanks. I know what you're saying regards the end result but I actually do get a buzz out of making music. I'm currently in the zone of "kids are sleeping, pour coffee, lights dimmed, candles burning, headphones on". I get right into the vibe of it. The standalone music centre doesn't really appeal to me at the moment. Perhaps later down the line if I end up going live but I suspect at my grand ole age of 37 that I'll be doing that. @Fade I do love FL Studio and believe it only gets better with every update. I want my MPC / hardware to definitely sync with it.
@Fade I'm the same dude. I spent so long researching. I'm still very much old school and stuck in my ways. I considered so many older models - but then I thought that might actually hold me back and the chances of updates and syncing with my current setup were probably highly unlikely. Besides I have so little free time these days that any time I do get I like to be productive and as creative as possible. Thanks for the insight as always dude!
@2GooD Productions I don't know about getting bored. I've came in quite fresh to the new FL and I'm enjoying it. I think I'm more concerned about not being as productive or creative as I can be. If there's a quicker / better way to achieve what I'm already doing I'd like to get it and not feel like I'm wasting time I don't have to be. Thanks for being the first person to say don't get it. I fear I may disappoint you!
Guys, to put you in the picture. The MPC Studio is the entry level MPC. It's the cheapest. I feel like it's me dipping my toe in. If I like it and it works as I think it will I can see me having no hesitation in upgrading quite quickly. The Studio generally churns out at around £200-£230 and there's a local place doing a sale of it at £160. For me that's buttons for a a device like that and I can see me picking it up at the weekend. I will keep you all posted. Thank you very much for all the input and feedback!
