Hey,
I'm in the process of upgrading my studio and buying and choosing new gear. I primarily make R&B, and Hip-hopbeats. I've being a 10year ableton user(software only) and really enjoyed it. Lately I want to get a little bit unchained from the computer(no mouse) so I've been looking at the MPCX or AbletonPush2.
My Dilema is idk what one to get. My fear of the MPCX is that I feel like it might be moving backwards. With only 8audio tracks in standalone, no built in synth like the 5000 and so on. Other than that I love every other aspect of the MPCX. Being able to make beats with no computer and limited effects and sounds to get you more creatively thinking.
My fear for ableton Push2 is that it won't completely control the software and I'll still be using the mouse a lot to create beats. Also I have a fear that since ableton live is at version 9.7.2; so that makes me think a new version is right around the corner and possible new hardware to go with. I'm not very fond of paying $$ then a month or 2 later something new comes out.
If anyone has used either Newer MPCs or Ableton Push 2 I would like to hear your 00.02.
Thanks for your replies in advanced.
