I have one the mpc's at home along with S950 and S700 but I also work with FL, Logic and SX on my laptop. Im currently upgrading the studio so it will have a different outfit in the next few months but aside from all the gear I like the environment the most, almost perfect acoustic treatment, daylight, airflow regulation through out the rooms and wireless connections up to the front yard garden/parking. You can check out the portfolio at www.bigmouth.nl ( sorry, its in dutch ).


why would you move your equipment out yo house? i mean i know alot of people are setup like that tho. do you have some equipment at home also? or is it all in the studio?

Its the reference I dont get at home, I've been making beats for 15 years on starting on both hardware and software and the standards you set for yourself become higher every year. Its those things that would make you change your setup from time to time, change the approach and learn a new trick to improve your delivery for production, mixing and a bit of mastering. I eventualy saw/heard my limits and focused more on what I can achieve at home and I think its pointless to do certain things at home because I dont have the proper dimensions, conditions or the proper nearfields. I also dont work in the studio cuz im not a recording engineer ( dont want to be eithe ), im a producer pur sang and do my own projects whenever I like. In any case, you dont need a lot to work out your projects and any project well prepared means less work in the studio, meaning less out of your pocket when having your stuff mixed/mastered. Its like questioning why someone would go over the trouble to setup a booth at home, buy an expensive mic and try to record as good as possible. Its achievable but you can also get an sm-58 at home, work out your project and then have serious recording session at a proper studio and save your money on high end gear at home ( unless you have the ideal situation at home, but that perhaps 2% on this board ).

What size do you expect it to be? It is a little plasticky, but I like the pads.
