Lamont,
I know you are a big fan of the Akai MPC's,what do you think of the MPC 4000?
is it worth the money? I had been thinking of getting a used one,but I'm
leaning towards a Trigger finger and Ableton Live. I already have a laptop
and Reason so Live is looking better plus they seem to have frequent updates.
Let me know your thoughts. I'll be mixing in PARIS. Thanks in advance.
respect
Nappy

LaMont,
So you basically use your MPC for the sequencer? I can
see why you like the Korg box with both a MIDI and USB output as well as
the XY pad. I hate the sequencer in Reason and hope the sequencer in Live
is better,if not,
I'll have to get Logic express for sequencing. So now I have to decide between
the
Korg controller and the M-audio one. Do you have the Trigger Finger?

Hi Nappy, I have used the M-audio trigger finger, and it's does the job well.
But, if I were choosing btw the 2 units, I'd choose the Korg.

Thanks Thad,
I'm leaning towards the Trigger Finger
How does Lives sequencer compare to Cubase's sequencer?
Have'nt got live yet,but plan to get it real soon. I have Reason 3
but I hate the sequencer,I hope Lives is alot better.
