GEEB Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 Yesterday i was reletivly excited about stopping by my local guitar center to pick up a midi controller, this one was on sale for 100$ so i bought it its a midi controller you connect to your computer i use it to make beats and drum in the samples i chop up, i get home set it up and play with it for hours tapping away trying to compose some shit with my new toy the BOOM! my computer crashes, i let it slide this time, but i soon find it keeps on happening, so now i return it to the store and get 85 bucks back because of the restocking bullshit, and now i have to pay 200$ instead to get one of these or wait for another month for this: i dunno if i should wait for the akai or should i just grab the korg, the point is it ruins my day when shit end up not owrking and then you dont get all your money back for it.

estaked Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 id say you should get what ever is gonna work better with your stuff, but if you gotta wait it will be better than no waiting and having shit mess up... idk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GEEB Posted August 15, 2006 Author Share Posted August 15, 2006 yea, ive been doing some research on it and as of right now the korg is looking really good, as for the akai i havent seen any information or videos that pursuay me to wait, we'll see. maybe i could compose a 12oz theme song or somthing doesnt deto or any of the other 12ozers work with music software like fl studios,protools or reason?, thats a whole nother thread though.

GEEB Posted August 15, 2006 Author Share Posted August 15, 2006 I feel what your saying about buying one of these, but since i havent gotten too serious with what im doing i want to master what im doing with less, then maybe ill upgrade to one of these.

GEEB Posted August 15, 2006 Author Share Posted August 15, 2006 I wish i had an apple setup for somthing like logic, unfortunately i blew my tax return for a new PC just to make music its a really good computer. but i know for sure logic is a really good tool.

26SidedCube Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 A midi controller that looks like an MPC? What's the advantage of having one of those over just having a keyboard (ala piano) midi controller? Is it so it looks like you have an MPC? I'm confused.

podrido Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 u should get one of these to coampnay your drum pad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26SidedCube Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 See.. this is where I'm confused: You can tap out drums on one of those just the same as you can on a drum pad... why do you need two midi controllers when one can serve both purposes?

Guest spectr Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 well just get a copy of logic for pc then. i can't run logic on my mac right now since it is not working properly and just collecting dust on top of a giant kilm that is just collecting dust. but i have used logic for pc before its not all that bad a bit dated now, but still a dated version of logic is still better then most other things on the market. and yeah kaos pads are where its at. i am planning on getting one once my boy makes it out to cali with my tables..

defyoner Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 i thought this thread was gonna be about when something doesnt work.. 1. You remain calm and try to fix it. 2. Beat the shit out of that material item till that fucker works. 3. leave it in the "hands of boogie" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
