AKAI Professional MPC Live

This is the one!
I’m a drummer at heart but I’ve wanted to make music for backing tracks to drum to..
I have very little musical knowledge in terms of scales, chords ect and the way this device performs in terms of one button touch chords relative to the key you are making a track in makes it so fast to get a chord sequence together so easy!

I’m not going to go into all of the manipulation effects because the sky is the limit with this, covering a range of genres and that’s why it’s used in many professional studios around the globe..

It’s primary base is hip hop RnB but a lot of those genres have cross reference to other genres as well..

The sound bank in the machine is colossal and any musician will be able to find sounds that he or she can work with and even manipulate to his or her liking..

Haven’t used the sampler function yet but I’m sure it delivers on point..

The only thing I would say is get a decent set of headphones for tracking and monitoring, speakers can give a false output based on the acoustics of the room you are in.

That’s is you use this in a home studio where acoustics can be an issue depending on your sound engineering skills and the positioning of the speakers..

I have keen hearing..
I know surprise right?
Cause I’m a drummer and all..

Pay out and buy this because it’s so accessible with the touch screen the amount of control you have is insane without hooking it up to a computer..

The sensitivity of the pads and the screen are phenomenal!!!!

Buy nice or buy twice! :)
Very happy with it!

So easy and very enjoyable to use
