I used MPC5000 and own MPC Ren. Akai software lacks Audio, you can't complete your songs with vocals in it, you can't record vocals on MPC prior 2.0. Well you can but not worth your time and effort as you will need to export to DAW anyway (so easier to get vocals recorded in DAW and arrange everything there).
This was one of my reason why I bought Push 2 with Live 9.7. I want a controller and software where I can write music, record vocals, arrange, mix - all being done in one program instead of wasting time for exports and imports all the time. Plus it makes arrangement much easier as you have controller, and you can still work on developing tracks while doing arrangements (instead of just arranging with exported audio files).
Hope this somehow makes sense? Both are good and different, I haven't been using Live prior buying Push 2.
Would MPC 2.X bring me back? Will you be able to do everything in one program from start to finish?
Not sure.....
