The MPC live has a lil Dawism in it. Do you think the X is more of a Daw than the Live? In standalone of course.

Reason 10 looks really good. That is a lot of stuff included for the cost.

Yes sir. Reason is a deep program lm still learning it.

Nope LIVE and X are both Digital Audio Workstations. You can edit, record, copy, paste, compose, import, export, convert, mix, apply effects, sample, arrange, eq. This debate again! No way.

It is a Digital Audio Workstation. Won't get an argument from me.

If you're producing music with a certain complexity in the layering of the sounds, coupled with an arrangement that requires going above and beyond chaining patterns together, then yes, you probably need a DAW.

I don't see the MPC as a proper mixing environment beyond basic tweaks and broad brush strokes.

I’m still bitter parsec is not included in reason 10.

This is my perspective too.
