When you buy a license, you gain the ability to run it on all three platforms and with no constraints how many of your machines you can install it on. No hardware required - I can be on the plane with nothing but my notebook and some headphones and be creative for the entire flight. |

| juan garcia 18.12.2009 | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9jv6M...layer_embedded check that out! more as something you can do....the pleasure of renoise is you can do most things with just the keyboard, which is handy cause its always there some good articles on createdigitalmusic blog recently as well. with rewire and JACK, the cool thing is its not like you are limited to just using one program either. I highly recommend people try the demo of renoise. you can save your work, it's a pretty non-restrictive demo, which is almost necessary if it takes you a while to "get" the tracker interface. happy tracking! |

| Amada Brierley 11.12.2009 | m-audio axiom 49 is cheap, has 8 pads 8 sliders and obviously a keyboard. Looks pretty good |
| juan garcia 11.12.2009 | hey no problem. keyboard looks good, got knobs for mapping to different things. yeah, or korg padkontrol if you can find it in that same range admittedly i'm not familiar with what else is out there in the oxygen8's price range, so do some research if you like. |
| Doug Bieling 11.12.2009 | Charo, many thanks. So maybe something like the oxygen8 keyboard and a 16 pad controller then, like one of the older cheaper akai units? |
| juan garcia 11.12.2009 | IMO a lower priced midi keyboard and a lower priced 16 pad controller (if a pad controller is wanted) is going to take you further then the apc40 from a production stand point. the other approach is to reduce point and click is to change workflow, going from midi sequencing to something like a tracker which is mostly keyboard input in a logical top to bottom fashion. If you haven't tried Renoise maybe check out the demo. good luck |
