Peace.
I have come to the realization and conclusion of the title concept because of the way Akai handles the new MPCs. Many people are experiencing gliches still and trouble with their MPC Live/X. I read where a person had to send their MPC back TWICE and still got a new one that was glitchy. That is INSANITY!
I may be blessed to have a working MPC but to see 70% people not happy and their machine not working and how Akai reacts bothers me to a certain extant. I'm happy l wanna see others happy. If my machine works but others don't l can't even have a convo because theirs don't work, its insane.
This is the end of the line for the MPC. Even if Akai comes out with another one l wouldn't buy into it. Which l doubt they will. If they were to make a new one it would have to be top notch made. No more crap.
1. 8 to 16GB Ram, option to upgrade to 16GB ram.
2. Disk streaming.
3. Automation lanes.
4. 8 outs, stereo and mono.
5. Portable with a battery.
6. Midi should work, MPC be a Master or slave.
The list goes in.
It will not happen.
I have long prepared to produce music without the MPC. When it first came l daid l would use only 30% of it, if that. Some clown comes in here trying to make me look bad cause l only use it at 30%.
If that clown knew that l didn't need every aspect of it he wouldn't have said that.
At this moment l don't need it, the computer and the Daws l use have taken over. The future of the MPC in my setup looks bleek asf!
Reason 10 and Studio One 4.5 is off the chain. If l want to drum in drums l can use my keyboard or the LPD8. The things l have in each of those DAWs are sick a l wouldn't trade them in for no MPC standalone. Studio One 4.5 OMG! Presonus is killing it. No other DAW gives the headroom S1V4 gives. The chord chart can help you assign a chord if you don't know how to play is insane! In Reason there ate Refills that you can get with the exact same sounds e.g. the Kawai keyboard, Triton Rack, Virus Ti etc and don't have to spend thousands to buy. Its just great to be in this position.
The MPC is to weak in comparison , l have come to grips with this. I don't care what Dan or what any of those guys say, l stopped listening to them in 2017. When they say one thing and another thing happens l call it bulls**t.
Akai may do better if they made a bonified DAW.
People are spending their money on a product that should work. In my future the MPC will be something of the past. Great when it work and memories but reality is a mutha. When my MPC goes that's it. So l will enjoy it while l can.
Akai as a company better pick up and get on board. No other company is going that route cause they know the future is not with a standalone.
I have let go Avid and its crazy ways. I let go Apple/Mac, to expensive for no reason. I let go Waves products at one time but lm back with them because they wised up.
Im at the point to use good quality things with less headaches. A producer should be doing music not trying to figure out glitches!
