Hi folks this is probably quite a big open ended question, but generally looking for tips please.
Currently im using what I would call my hifi separates system to listen to the output of my MPC. So output of the MPC > USB Audio interface > Amplifier> Passive speakers. The amplifier is from the 90s and is what I normally also use to listen to music. The audio interface is in use because I also use my PC with a DAW to create music (am beginner level I would add).
Ive heard it said (and read) that with regards to making beats on the MPC, you do not always need to mix and master. Im not sure if this is correct or not (possibly depends on genre) and I am not anywhere close to that stage but in an effort to make my humble studio setup as future proof as possible, my Amp is starting to develop issues and ill need to figure out a solution ie replace with another amp, or should I be using 'studio monitors' straight from the Audio Interface to get an 'accurate sound' ? I guess im curious what other people use for their MPC setup (in order to hear the output through speakers), and because I also like to listen to music - do I need to think about having a separate system for listening and one for creating?
On a separate note as am just curious, if you wanted to create a track with the MPC output combined with an instrument being played externally, what would you actually use to record the track to digital format? Thank you folks for reading and any pointers are appreciated.
