I usually correct and redo posts with errant links/images (when I run across them) so the discussions can continue but there's no links to correct?!

Whenever I'm away from the studio for a long period of time, like when visiting the hometown or going diggin' in other states/countries, I think about getting BACK to the studio too much. When I'm gone, thats when ideas keep attacking me and I can't do anything but wait until I get back.

So ever since getting the maschine, I'm pretty much portable. A maschine, laptop, and some studio monitoring headphones will do the trick, but my goal is a small audio interface, macbook pro, and a usb turntable. Until then, I have the basics so I can say that its a good feeling to be able to work on all these ideas attacking me. I recommend going portable to all producers who are on the go a lot.


no offense but aint it obvious that if you wanna be portable you going to need a laptop, maschine or mpd + ableton, or some kind of midi controller and software of choice like reaper, portable tt and a audio interface..I mean dont that shit sound like common knowledge or somethin or am I just really smart :mrgreen: :lol:

a laptop and a midi controller ain't no "studio"... an MPC1000 can accomplish just as much and is just as portable if not even more so... welcome back, pound. :lol:

If I travel, I always got IPOD+404/303+Headphones in the backpack: get the job done well and still cheaper.

Your portable studio ain't much less than my entire studio these days. And I used to have racks full of stuff back in the day.

About the only hardware I use are my couple of TL Audio boxes. I don't even have a mixer anymore - can always route something into my Alesis io 26 audio interface if I need to.

My most portable solution is Nano Studio on the iPhone 4.

i guess portable studio is all about smartphone apps these days. i've tried them but i find the best thing if i'm away from home/travelling etc is checking out music on a portable player of some type and soaking it up. That maybe provides a bit of inspiration for when i'm back in the studio.
sp202/303/404 is nice too

Does a portable studio really mean a laptop and drum midi pads? to me that just means portable beat making... in which case i'll use my iPod with nanostudio or just take my mpc.
