this video is really making its rounds. smh... I really don't agree with most of what he says in it. akai plug ins? really? over the top plug in manufacturers out there? thats just not one that comes to mind... I would rather they get in tight with arturia or spectrasonix or something... that is if you are talking about some deeper level of integration.
as for hardware upgrades etc... I don't see much wrong with the akai hardware layout. maschine and the Mpc (both ren and studio) both have hardware that works great for their workflow... I don't see a huge need for a change just yet on the mpc side of things. the software I am all about upgrading though.
but if you are constantly watching manufacturers as though you have to be one or the other... or "jumping ship" then you are looking at it all wrong. its just a tool... a carpenter doesn't stop creating houses until he gets the latest greatest hammer and was soon as dewalt drops a new tool he freaks... why should production be any different?
sorry I think I just took this sillyness way to seriously LOL
