The idea of having a standalone equipment would help combat the distractions associated with working on a desktop (tFB, email, youtube, etc.). Yes, I have a top spec 2019 iMac and I could just spend the same money on a great audio interface, a beat pad, ableton Live. I'd dare say that I have more experience with a Tascam 4-track cassette recorder. On top of that my experience of DAWs go as far as Garageband, and that was rather limited. Please bear in mind that I have no idea what I'm talking about as soon as the words Digital or Midi come up. It isn't clear how good an audio interface / ADDA the X is. Internal audio interface (for recording Line in Keyboard, Line in Electric guitar, XLR Mic'd guitar amp, XLR Mic'd vocals)Įxternal audio interface (in the sense of using the MPC X as an audio interface between a microphone and the computer's DAW) Used prices seem to be dropping with the launch of the MPC Live II. On the other hand, it does seem to cover most of what I'm after. Rather than do the DAW route (audio interface, beat pad, DAW), would the Akai MPC X cover all the grounds? On one hand, it looks like some of the MPC X is way beyond me as a way to manage sequencers.
So with both heads open, I began looking at audio interfaces, DAWs and drum machine/sampler/sequencers. There is a part of me that wants to write songs in the vein of Koyaanisqatsi (especially The Grid with its glorious arpeggios) or The theme from S-Express, and do my own messing with James Brown along the lines of The Payback mix or Blue Note sampling like the Beastie Boys' Root down.Īnd at the same time play and record Hendrix and Beatles songs.
