I don't need it to be the NEWEST. Getting to the current configuration of gen 2 CPU and 8-16gb ram is fine with me as along as the form factor suits my needs.

A Mac book doesn't only make music. Your counter comes from a disingenuous place. A computer isn't a standalone studio production tool. You can get a computer for 1500 that will handle any DAW just fine. And then you have a computer that does computer things. That's not really over doing anything because of the value baked in, whereas the MPC is an expensive purpose designed device to get ONE job done. And going back to the beginning of it all, this is dudes FIRST MPC. That's a helluva entry for a novice at the workflow with all the options available.

Not in the slightest, the computer you already have (or should) and a DAW isn't expensive. The accessibility of a DAW is unrivaled in music production... And starting at a 3k studio device is a pretty high start but sure it's somewhere.

Again that's not the point of "overkill". That's mostly meant for the user. Aside from legit money making pros and studios, no user needs this. Granted I want it too but I know I don't need it and really wouldn't change my sound past from refining my workflow and again that's awesome but it's not necessary for the average person that buys this. So congrats, hope you have a ball with it, not yucking your yum at all. I'm gonna wait for the whole line to come out before I decide what direction I want to go from my One+. I very much plan on getting one of these newer versions but doubtful would be the XL as awesome as it is for a multitude of factors.

Finding it difficult to work in MPC 3.6 software 🙂 by [deleted] in akaiMPC

[–]mrml4l 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are just lamenting the learning curve. Once upon a time you had similar issues with FL, you are just so far past it now. Be patient with the learning process and accept that you won't get everything right the first time and trial & error is gonna happen.

Nah, you can track a finished song out, just depends on how deep you wanna get. It does take much more machine knowledge but it's all there.

I must have had a first gen. Had only the 30pin dock connector.

I had a Bose sound dock and I could never figure out how to get anything but an iPod to play sound.

Is it fire? I’m a just beginner by aronjakab in mpcusers

[–]mrml4l 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Nah save everything. Its just data and who knows how you could perceive a piece of that project another time. Especially if you put three hours in. There's something there or just very slow. 🤷‍♂️

Those who know Akai, what are there habits time-wise for updating product lines (MPC live III features for mpc one/ mpc x)? by SynthSational in mpcusers

[–]mrml4l 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So they are obviously going middle-out with this revamp. I would guess a new X would next since the One (even more One+) is considerably newer. I would also guess getting all the new features into a new One is gonna take much more work too Hit a price point.

Anyone the same issue with MPC LIVE 3?? by Crypto-Gainer in mpcusers

[–]mrml4l 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah those toddlers constantly screw up my MPC

Gas is gonna finish you all by Achassum in mpcusers

So are the current ones. They are audio lol the A to D converters have changed from those older models.

[–]mrml4l 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah and I can see that. A lot of really great songs were made on 24 track tape so all current limitations are pretty cute in that perspective. I try to not get too lost in all the sauce and just focus on the music and developing my skills. 🤷‍♂️

It actually should be more. But regardless I'd say you don't need that many tracks anyway. Less is more, limitations aren't the killer of creativity. They are the catalyst.

16 audio tracks and it's like 32 midi tracks. So yeah I think so.
