MPC or Maschine (For my setup)
MPC or Maschine (For my setup) Posted on: 02.09.2012 by Jona Slon Okay guys there are probably a few threads like this but i need your help with deciding which i should get so ill give you all the info straight up.I'm tossing between one of the MPC's or the Maschine. Basically I don't plan on using it for DJ'ing or anything but i would like to be able to have a piece of hardware that i can use with my producing. I produce a range of music but predominately traps (as it's called now) kinda stuff but i also make some electro stuff too. I already own Ableton and a novation launchpad. So as i see it heres how it stacks up Maschine: good software to come with it loads of samples etc. can be used with ableton as a midi controller BUT Can't be used without a computer (obviously haha) MPC: dedicated piece of gear no need for a computer does nearly everything the maschine can do and more (depending on which model) BUT A little more pricey (not that bad really) Some more info i owned an m-audio trigger finger but sold it because i didn't like the fact that it was just a midi controller with no real purpose in my set up. Before you say the Maschine will be the same it comes with it's own dedicated software so i see that as a way around the problem. I have never owned an MPC before either but i know of their great quality. I'd like to keep it under $1000AUD too Thanks guys | |
