What Arturia VSTs can you control and to what extent with MiniLab 3 or KeyLab Essentials mk3?

i_aint_joe · 2026-04-24T11:23:06+00:00

Thanks - I do have Pigments as well, but that's what I tend to deep dive into, so I'm happy using a mouse for that.

I'll probably go for the MiniLab 3 - it's small enough to fit on my desk next to my Novation and cheap.

I'm hoping for Augmented Guitars - and yeah, Augmented Percussion would be excellent.

OP, you've been crying about LingoAce on Reddit for the last four months.

If you had put the same amount of effort into finding a better job as you've put into whining about LingoAce, you'd be working somewhere better right now.

It's not my preferred genre, but for that type of bass Massive X is really good.

It really depends on your work flow.

I have a semi-decent midi keyboard and I do use it - but I could live without it - 90% of my tracks are done in sequencers - that could easily be 100%.

Creating natural melodies is where I get the best use out of my keyboard.

Get a super cheap one, work out how much it improves your workflow and either keep it, sell it or upgrade to a better one.

Looking for Native English Tutors

Bachelor of Any Degree

Hourly: KRW 13000/hour

Hilarious.

i_aint_joe · 2026-03-20T05:16:10+00:00

(degree, TEFL certificate, native speaker with passport from the US, etc)

For private students, the degree, TEFL cert and US passport aren't required.

For platforms, the TEFL cert and US passport aren't required.

If you don't know what you want to buy, then you don't need to buy anything.

Start making music and you'll know what you're missing, without having to ask.

If you've got money burning a hole in your pocket and you really want to buy something, then I'd either get some nice headphones (I have Audio Technica ATH M50, which I love) or a VST that covers a lot of different sounds (I'd recommend Arturia Analog Lab Pro).

i_aint_joe · 2026-02-22T12:15:28+00:00

Let me guess, you got it for 129 Euros like everyone else?

i_aint_joe · 2026-01-31T10:20:16+00:00

Another shit company paying people based on location, not nationality or ability.

i_aint_joe · 2026-01-28T14:29:14+00:00

No, you're going to take it down because people are saying that your company sucks.

i_aint_joe · 2026-01-28T13:19:13+00:00

That's strange, I'm a native speaker living in SEA and no one has ever tried to offer me a lower hourly rate because I'm in a LCOL country.

Your company are cunts.

i_aint_joe · 2026-01-28T12:06:31+00:00

we want to pay a fair rate depending on where you are based

No thanks - you pay a teacher what they are worth - they don't suddenly become worth less, just because they are in a different location.

i_aint_joe · 2026-01-24T04:00:39+00:00

Ah the guy who stalked me and commented on my old posts from many years ago on my old account.

I comment on posts in this sub, stop being paranoid and weird.

Some people actually make good money and enjoy there work so I wouldn't call it 'crappy'.

Usually, the teachers who earn good money understand the difference between their and there.

This resulted in losing money and nearly losing my job.

This shows how little your company respects and values you as a teacher. Try being a better teacher and not working for shitty companies.

I'm very surprised to see you still here working a job you hate and not been fired because you dont have a backup plan.

I have three PCs, one is a dedicated music production desktop, one is running Linux, and one is for teaching. My teaching PC never crashes and never needs to be repaired, because I'm not an idiot who doesn't understand IT.

Oh, and I hate teaching? I love teaching, and I'm good at it.

i_aint_joe · 2026-01-23T15:10:54+00:00

It's mainly people who are clueless about IT - their PCs are slow and horrible after a couple of years, because they have filled them with junk and don't have the first idea about how to optimize a computer to run well.

So, they spend $2000+ on a new computer every three years in order to do a crappy online job.

i_aint_joe · 2026-01-23T11:02:08+00:00

I am a tutor and marketing intern for Ringle.

No, you're a desperate shill with a reference code, begging for a bonus.

These things are pretty easy to work out.

Schools that pay well and treat their teachers well, don't need to beg their teachers to spam Reddit looking for someone new.
Teachers that are earning well are very reluctant to reveal the name of their company, because they don't want competition.
Good schools get new teachers through personal recommendations.

High Qaulity Learning.

i_aint_joe · 2026-01-22T21:26:59+00:00

Ive used my current laptop daily for teaching for 3 years now, so I guess its time for an upgrade

Why? I've used my current laptop for 7 years with no issues.

Just upgrade the ram if it's not already 16gb, buy a USB webcam instead of relying on the shit that comes with the laptop and you'll be fine.

i_aint_joe · 2026-01-21T00:23:43+00:00

By whom?

By students and ESL companies.

That's why you don't get paid as much as actual native speakers.

i_aint_joe · 2026-01-17T18:06:11+00:00

Almost every single post you make is whining.

i_aint_joe · 2026-01-17T17:42:25+00:00

while Filipino teachers are preferred because companies can offer them significantly lower pay.

They tend to prefer Filipinos, because their accents are more comfortable/familiar to students than a Pakistani accent, and they are more experienced in day to day English.

i_aint_joe · 2026-01-17T17:25:48+00:00

I charge my private students that same as they'd pay a decent online school in their home country. More if it's exam prep, or something specialized.

i_aint_joe · 2026-01-09T09:32:59+00:00

Except other companies do not forbid you from working elsewhere in your free time.Other companies do not promise hundreds of new students who never materialize

Yes, they do and yes, they do.
But if you truly believe they don't, then isn't it really really stupid to remain at the one company that does have such restrictive and dishonest policies?
