i'll take the motif, jbl monitors, and project mix and 2500...hit you up with info in the PM


there are more than one way to set this up, you gotta decide which device you want as master and proceed with midi from there...as far as audio simple example: turntable to motifs inputs, motif outputs to mpcs record in, mpcs outputs to mbox.

Like this ol' saying goes..."there's no crying in baseball". But saying something similar for music production would probably go like this...

"There's no instant gratification in music production"...so in other words, you'll need to learn your gear almost inside/out so that the technical stuff doesn't slow you down.

It's a small price to pay in order to enjoy a lifetime of pleasure...so start reading & understanding.

If you wouldnt type in caps people would be more friendly towards you. Writing in caps on a forum is the same thing as constantly shouting to your mom you want something. Does she apreciates that? Mine wont.
