Merideth Garnder 04.01.2013	Originally Posted by Jack Hoesterey Thanks HigherFi, Before I bought I bought anything I drew out and thought of my setup for like 6 months... And demo'd gear. Finally I asked for it for christmas from my parents and it came. The setup does have a lot of potential I agree, I hope to incorporate some abelton into it ( I have most of Mad Zach's) packs. My next gear piece will be a maschine... But I have to 1) learn what I have 2) Decide whether to buy my friends MK1 for 200$ or a MK2 for 500.... any Ideas? Just with Mad Zach's Sound Packs.....you can spend hours and hours loading up samples and getting used to using drum racks with the User 1 Mode with your Launchpad. The real fun is when you start getting a nice collection of samples and etc. and start layering on top of your sets. I would just try to map out as many things you can with just the Launchpad alone in Ableton and get used to using it. Once you feel like you're hitting roadblock with the lack of knobs and faders (like I did), THEN look into maybe adding something else. If you're not fully understanding how to map a LP, then the Maschine isn't going to help you any further in my opinion.
Ami Lele 03.01.2013	Originally Posted by HigherFi I have the MK2. It's really budget-oriented, I'd say. Fully contingent on "...the ease of which you acquire such funds." I don't believe for a second that the MK2 out performs the MK1 on any musical level. I asked for the old one - received the new one. You could get the MK1 and a copy of LOGIC for less than the MK2 and be covered up with potential for a very, very long time. Who did you ask for the maschine 1 and got the MK2? What did they charge you? And I acquire money by... Waiting for the summer to get a job (I'm 14) or waiting to get gifts for christmas and my birthday which is tomorrow!
Ami Lele 03.01.2013	Originally Posted by HigherFi For me, the decision would depend if NI make the jump with Maschine & the remix decks. The RGB pads are worth it, if they do. Then again, you can get a lot of plug ins with the money you save. I just got mine and am rather enamored with it. Is yours a MK2 or MK1? So, which do you believe is a better idea?
Shan Bauerly 03.01.2013	Originally Posted by Emery The LP wont work with remix decks. So the TMA-1 Studio ear cups snap right into the DJ TMA's? Id be interested in that, but I can't find replacement ear cups on their site. any suggestions? Just send Aiaiai an email.
Geri Jarra 02.01.2013	Originally Posted by HigherFi Yeah, you won't get anywhere with remix decks and the Launchpad. You can map it to fire the track/sample in the top slot, like sample decks used to be, but that's it. You can, however, map some effects to it and use it like a midi fighter. I was just looking at your kit believeing how much power you actually have in such a compact rig. Pretty amazing what you can fit in a backpack. Check out Mad Zach's sound packs. TMA's with the over the ear urethane ear cups from the TMA1 Studio are also killer. They just snap right in. Nice rig. The LP wont work with remix decks.

Ami Lele 02.01.2013	Nice, Thanks for the tips... Abelton ( launchpad edition at least) is very over-welming and frustrating for me. How did u learn it? And that gig is nice... I am not trying to downstage you, but I just found out yesterday, from one of my friends that he knows someone who opened up for hardwell recently and I was soooo jelous. The kid is 15 ahhaah
Merideth Garnder 02.01.2013	Well I see that you have the JWill's Midifighter mapping on your LP. I don't believe you can map the LP to do what the F1 does in controlling the remix decks.....I've been trying that for a while and gave up.... You should really look into controlling Ableton with the LP and getting in control of Ableton's drum racks and effects racks.....takes a little research but it's improved my sets and the creative process a whole lot! We opened for Norman Doray and Funkagenda at Avalon Hollywood a couple of weeks ago and even they were asking about some of our live performance techniques.....although they kicked ass on CDJs!!
Ami Lele 02.01.2013	No in traktor
Ami Lele 02.01.2013	What is the difference in the logo? Does my s2 have the new logo? And thx for the feedback
Khadijah Bucker 02.01.2013	looks good, love the headphones and cap combination. wonder if you can buy the platters with the new ttraktor logo separately, my s4 has the old logos

Ami Lele 02.01.2013	I believe I will use it like an F1...
Claire Auyeung 02.01.2013	Great starter kit! Are you using ableton and Traktor on the same system? Or do you use the launchpad for other things?
