And there is 3 types of suckers out there. those who want to pay a little, those who want to pay a little more and those who want to pay alot.. using the mpc one hasnt held me back from doing anything its still and mpc. the fact that sceners still have this logic that they get more or a better product for more money is hysterical to me because it points out who doesnt understand the device they are using.

MPC buyers get bamboozled because inMusic knows there are suckers juuuuust like this who are willing to drop extra for crap they dont need or that isnt worth thousands more.

How many of you MPC key users who already had an MPC didnt feel remorse about the 3500 dollar purchase? Be honest... you guys know what your money is worth and that the "top tier" is a sham.

You do have a Valid Point to some of these statements. But....Paying a lil bit more does give you more Hardware Features. Yea...We don't NEED the Extra Hardware Features, but its nice to have. That's what EVERYTHING in Life is based on.

If I want more Rooms in a House, I pay more.
If I want More Gadgets on a Car, I pay more.
If I want a PhD in College, I pay more.
If I want Lettuce on my Chicken Sandwich, I pay more.

It's The American Dream. Life is a Sham :lol: We're All Suckers To A Degree

The X was worth the premium to me. The extra keys. The q links the bigger screen.

I may add a live this year for portability but I wouldn't sell the X.

I've watched plenty of videos of people using the live and have no regrets.

awesome if you'll pay 1500 - 2000 more for qlinks and a screen of no greater resolution maybe you'd like to buy some swamp land in florida. premium investment in a sunny warm place.

Lol no.

UK live 2. £900 X £1250

Your maths is a bit off.

£350 for the extra io interface and screen.

Will I update to the possible XL for extra ram. Nope.

I used to hate on the Mpc live but that form factor makes more sense the more i use it. It was a roger linn design rip afterall. wouldve been perfect with a dedicated program edit button tho. I see they tried to please us with the new costum menu on the left.. Decent alternative so its probably not happening.

A smaller live with the mpcone pads, a few more buttons would be stupid ill tho..word

Mpcone still the most fluid of them all.

prog edit gang.

Wish I could re-assign shortcut buttons on the X.
I'm in grid mode all the time. But rarely in the mixer as I work more with hardware
