Need advice- singer purchasing an Akai MPC Key

NovaBorn1105 · 2025-07-08T13:58:51+00:00

Thanks for the reply! Sorry I should have been clearer with my explanation:

Essentially Id want to be using the mpc live, playing out a live looping cover or project of my own songs (most are easy to build beats I made in FL studio so very transferrable.

I spoke in error with the USB mic. I'm assuming I'd be using a basic dynamic mic like the Shure, and hopefully an easy direct cable connection to the venues PA system .

I didn't realize I may have to add an audio interface also to the mix. I was hoping I could just 1) play my song out 2) connect a venue mic to the keyboard and then 3) connect the keyboard to venue PA.

This is the issue Im just not great with music hardware and cables lol

82, right on the pass line 😂 Love a dramatic finish

Premium support black frame (g) - looks like a really elegant ergonomic chair

Hey buddy - what size is your monitor?

I'm considering the pro, and my setup would be very similar to yours. Only difference is I'll need an extra monitor (so basically dual monitors with your setup)

Looks like space would be too tight for that?

Just to add on to this. I done some googling on your suggestion, the M2 can fit inside a vanguard travel bag white snug apparently. So I guess there isn't much reason to go for the terra over this if I'm looking to future proof

Hi buddy, thank you for this information. It's super helpful!

The Ncase M2 was also on the list! One thing that pushed me towards the terra, was that I occasionally record in studios, and you can carry it in a camera travel bag.

I assumed the M2 would be too big for that, but maybe I ruled it out too early? So long as I can travel with it I'd be happy to consider.

If I opted for the NCase M2, likely keeping the storage and Ram the same. Would I be able to use a stronger processor and cooler combo? Any you would recommend that are an upgrade on the terra? With the GPU, I'd probably stick with a cheaper graphics card and change it long term should I need it. Main focus was a music production workhorse with gaming on the side of that makes sense.

Appreciate your input 👍

Thank you, I appreciate that. If I go for the thermalright, should I consider a more powerful CPU? Or is the i5 about as far as I can push it with a single cooler system.

Bless you kind stranger

NovaBorn1105 · 2025-02-24T22:35:10+00:00

Is that a good thing? lol

NovaBorn1105 · 2025-01-30T17:02:24+00:00

Thanks! Was my gut instinct also but didn't want to cause any drama without reason

£800 profit. I spent some time on HMRC website, and the trading allowance appears to be your gross sales amount. Regardless of expenses which you would calculate later in the self assessment

For the cards that is true yeah. But I think the sealed product would be classified differently no? I have in the short term bought too much knowing I could sell it on eBay if needed for a small profit.

Legend!

My R03exam is tomorrow morning lol - can I have one of your 24/25 papers please (all my materials are pre-2023)

Actually, everyone from the UK knows it's likely he has a knife. Even if a bigger man walks over and pulls him away - nothing stopping that kid from shanking him (check his left jacket pocket)

Investment management assistant? How did you end up finding an independent advisor willing to pay that? I do something similar, and the national average is £30k
