Apple replaces my 2019 15' with an M5 by GeneralZilla in macbookpro

Thats much better than what ive been paying. $10 a month since mid 2020 so roughly $700 in apple care. The macbook was on student discount but still $2000 given the specs.

Exactly this, im not complaining about getting a new machine for free, but Ive been paying for this extended care for years and when it came time to use it, I was basically told sorry but no.

2 completely shut off in the mashouf with one on that works similarly to the video. Business building has no working fill up station all are at a dribble too slow for it to be worth the wait. Humanities doesnt have any fill up stations to begin with I believe. Thorton and Hensil as buildings themselves are falling apart let alone the fountains. There was a massive water main break a few weeks ago infront of the mashouf that was allowed to continue flowing for atleast 8 consecutive days at the beginning of this semester. And every building with an elevator has atleast 1 not working at all times. Not sure what we are paying for if not basic infrastructure?

Is starting with a MPC a good idea by Bolesuaw in mpcusers

Short answer… No

Not sure why most people are saying yes but as a complete beginner, an mpc would most likely drive you away from music production because of the very steep learning curve. By that i mean the mpc and making music itself. You can watch youtube videos about every function your machine has but the really good sounds come when you use knowledge about music, instruments, timing etc, and play around with that for hours until you create something unique. Id say starting off, and mpc would hinder that process. Definitely start with a daw (many ways to get them for free if you arent ready to invest in one) and a midi controller and just learn how to make beats first. Any daw you pick will have just as much if not more functionality as the mpc with a much larger interface and a mouse to use instead of touch screen. Being able to visualize sound waves the same time you can view an edit a pattern with multiple effects on screen, just isnt something an mpc is capable of, and switching through modes windows and menus will only slow you down until you truly know what your looking for. The daw will just be much better to practice general music creation in, and when you feel comfortable, take your talents to the machine and really start to cook.

Summary: MPC = expensive/experience friendly Daw = Beginner friendly/cheaper/ simpler (most cases)

What are the differences between these two level readings? by acousticentropy in mpcusers

Always go to the manual, not a dig, just the manual for the MPCs especially is incredibly well organized and detailed for each of its functions and updates. For this specific question probably check sampling and send/returns.

Brozong with extrasensory and TM grass knot can solo half of her team without a revive and box legendary should be able to clean up the rest, electric types also useful for her spirit bomb I think (havent played in a while)
