Peace, people.
Well last night, I was doing some music for my new video for the Live, since I have had it for 2 months. So I never once used the Live, I was strictly using my 2.0 on the laptop with my Midi keyboard and it was easy as pie. Akai has been getting a lot of flack so I said I will do some thing in the positive light.
It was easy to just get my midi keyboard up and run, just turned on the midi box in preferences and bam keyboard up and running quick. I loved that.
So I was going through the Air instruments and man, I tell you they sound amazing! So I just played out some stuff so when I present my video people can hear the Air Instruments, and the new ones I never knew existed.
Midi latency? Oh my GAWD! Man the midi handling is better and superior to Reason, and Studio One! Man everything was hitting on the grid with having to fix up my piano playing or chord playing. I mean the latency was accurate as f*** I erased what I played a few times cause I couldn't believe what was going down. I am straight loving this. No interface either, just straight midi keyboard and laptop. +1 for Akai with that. S1 did an update their midi gotten better and they have a new look, so midi handling imo is:
1. Akai's 2.0 software
2. S1V3.5
3. Reason 9.5.
Midi handling is the most important to me cause I play piano and when you capture a moment you don't want to have to go around having to move midi notes to the correct grid spots.
I have enjoyed that, and I will be in that more!
Anyone having good times with the 2.0 software?
