You seem to be mistaken. No one needs anything from you - certainly not "approval".

Buy a portable battery pack.
Or, buy an MPC Live with a built-in battery, since - you know - it's
a thing. CharlesRandolph wrote:Full-size pads
Learn how to finger drum on any pads. People do it on Force, Alesis SR 16, Linnsturment, Korg KR-55. It's the person not the machine.
Many actually prefer the larger pads of a traditional MPC. If you've ever used pad controller with smaller pads, and you think it's just as enjoyable experience to use them as a proper sized pad controller, you're being disingenuous.
CharlesRandolph wrote:Also I saw your 3D printing stand, it's good but not made for finger drumming. Also the angle you have it, the pad size doesn't matter. (IMAGE BELOW)
This is a ridiculous and baseless statement, and also has nothing to do with the Live/One comparison. That said, the stand that I had 3D printed is
perfect for finger drumming. I use it regularly and have never had a problem. You're really reaching here, Charlie.
CharlesRandolph wrote:Phono pre-amp in for sampling a turntable
Connect turntable to mixer for better control, lower noise floor, and stronger/cleaner output signal.
Or, buy a Live and not have to worry about extra gear. Additionally, if you've ever brought your Live on the road and wanted to do some record sampling and crate dig, you're missing out. Oh wait - that's right - you don't have an MPC Live.

Sure if you buy cheap SATA drives. Which is still a waste because you're not benefiting from SSD speed in standalone anyway. Also now you have to make 3 backup of that 256 GB to 1 TB drive. If you're serious about your music.
What are you getting on about? Even a "cheap" SSD is better than a comparable SD Card or USB Stick - both price and performance. And what does backing up your data have to do with anything? Nice strawman, Charlie.

No really honest keyboard player uses wireless keyboard. The latency is trash. It also drains the battery.
Nonsense. Honest? LMAO
You
do realize that there are more uses than just keys for wireless controllers, right? Additionally, laying down pads and strings is perfectly capable over Bluetooth MIDI, latency and all. I mean, if you're an
honest keyboard player and know how to play.
CharlesRandolph wrote:WiFi (easy Ableton Link, easy sync to Splice)
Good for small data sharing with a network, unfortunately the LIVE and X does not have that functions.
It also drains the battery.
Huh? The Live [b]
does have WiFi, and Ableton Link works perfect over it. And being able to wirelessly sync to Splice (and update your library) is pretty damn useful, unless you're a fan of wires. Have you ever performed with other musicians using Ableton Link to wirelessly sync your gear? It's pretty awesome - I suggest you give it a try. Branch out and learn.

More outs
This works if you have an interface or mixer. But that's what exporting stems are for now.
This works if you have a PA and you're performing, and want to utilize more outs.

This is always a good thing.
Finally, we actually agree on something. Stop the press and alert the fam.
