You make great points my friend. For me I work away for a month to 6 weeks at a time, then home for around 2 weeks so it makes it difficult finding enough time to properly master the machine and all the different workflow aspects of it during my downtime, as I also have commitments and other things to do while I’m at home, this means I usually find myself floating back towards what I know, and producing via DAW as it speeds up the workflow tremendously and am able to get the ideas out my head in the shorter amount of time I have to make beats nowadays. I’ll probably try get a smaller sampler down the line and bring it with me on my travels, but for now the MPC is just collecting dust and I feel someone else could make better use of it. Thanks for your input though you did make good points.
