I would stick with Reason 12 and learn it inside and out. If you prefer producers that sample I'd suggest Serato Sample it makes sampling and chopping easy. Just drop wav or mp3 and go.. either way just keep at it.

The Truth
I’ve really been considering the MPC Live but that 1299 price tag got me like :huhldup:


But I really want a DAW that I don’t need to use my laptop for. Just straight old school. I have the Maschine MK3 and honestly, I hate Native Instruments Programs. It’s strictly Techno shyt to me, I don’t like the DAW even though the tech is amazing. The workflow isn’t there for me.

I know you can use it as a plugin in FL and stuff but I still can’t rock with it and it’s overly complex.

I heard you can use the MK3 without a laptop though so ill look into it

you can find the MPC Live first version for sale often and even the second used. like OP a lot of people hop on to beat making wave and quit when they realize that they don't have the drive.

I don't think the MPK 3 has sampling just built in basic minimal sounds for beginners. that won't cut it short or long term. if you want stand alone you have to go mpc live... I think you meant you wanted standalone hardware. DAW's are all computer based.

Rozay is obsessed with being a student of the game. He think he supposed to be studying the greats. He like the idea of being a producer more than the literal act of making music. I believe he lacks the passion to get over the frustrating hurdles that come with learning how to make beats. Most people who invest in equipment end up letting that shyt collect dust. They get too frustrated with not getting good quick enough.
Ok I’m gonna spend the day making beats. If I come up with nothing, no p*ssy for me tonight

Yeah thats what i meant.

And the reason I said the MPk3 might be able to be used as a stand alone is because I saw it in a review. Still won’t change much imo, because it’s just a workflow issue to me.

And no, I don’t mean I lost motivation. Been making beats on and off for awhile, I just stop due to other things going on that requires my attention.

Ill look on ebay or something for a cheaper MPC Live.

How you like it? I was tempted to cop one recently. I just find the daw so convenient. I started out with a ASR10 ..
I just got it a couple weeks ago and haven’t tucked in at all with kids getting ready to go back to school, but I’m happy to provide an update when i can. I have historically fukked with Nuendo, a little FL, some Ableton, and a touch of PT.

I was interested because I'm so use to the linear style of sequencing but I hear you can't do that on the new mpc's. I have a mpc200xl that I never touch because I'm so into Reason + vst's. I recently copped a ipad with BM3 but miss the key/pad feel.

I'm really trying to resist buying more gear but you know how that goes.
