[choppybeats]

Let's be honest though, it's only for nostalgia reasons. It's a mpc 4000 at a pawn shop near me for $400 that I'm about to buy for that reason. But after seeing the live and the X what other reason what someone still need the 1000/2000/2500/3000 for?

I used to think like that, but sometimes less is more.

Sometimes these new hardware's have so much screens menus it disrupts the workflow.

Did they reissue these? You see where im going i think .. Im getting different types of hardware.. Interface maybe a controller for djing.. So if i got mpc live now and didnt wait. That would be it

Mpc live and mpc x will make the old mpc's useless

Nah. Even if it's for nostalgia purposes the authenticity of the sound there will always be a niche for old hardware. Thats like thinking people dont/wont want classic cars because newer cars are made better, safer, faster, more powerful....

Your sorta right.. But it also on the user.. Ill fukk with anything as long as it fits me.. And what i wanna do.. But old hardware has a sound to it.. But nowadays u can integrate old with new with ease

Integration has always been possible through midi. shyt you can play your melody from reason and pump the drums on an mpc or sp1200.

I like hardware regardless at the end of the day it's an instrument. I know some cats that can draw notes and sequences on fl and put together songs without using a midi keyboard it's not a necessity, for me I like the instrumentation of it.

Thats not what i ment.. Live or x on paper is the perfect machine integrated software.. Standalone.. Easy storage.. I use my asr-x with ableton exporting beats. Midi isnt really a standard anymore. I use it but its not.. They throw it on devices still for it to sell i a little but more .. Midi like scsi as far as relevance. I use it any form of technology with music i dont give a fukk ..i dont like favoring new or old.. I used to be like that.

I see what u mean with that last point yea l like to see how i can find a way to tie old and new to get a nice work flow going
Keeps it fresh

If you have a decent laptop or cpu just buy the mic software dolo. It's like $200 or so. Which ain't bad

I'm moreso looking for a standalone where I can make beatss on the go and on my lunch break at work and shyt.

Might settle for an ipad with beatmaker 3 for the short term and save longer for the mpc live..I could afford the ipad in like 2 paychecks.
