I recently purchased an MPC 2500 with jjos and am slowly learning how to use this thing through youtube videos.
Youtube videos only go so deep or only answer so many questions so I'm looking into the 2500 tutorial book.
But then a number of people have suggested that I sell the 2500 and pick up a studio or renaissance being that it's easier to use as well as technology is continuing to advance.
In my mind, I felt I needed to pay my dues in a sense by learning the hard way first, getting the feel of the 2500 before jumping straight into the digital world.
Kind of like how a dj starts with pioneer decks and has so idea what to do with vinyl and a pair of 1200s.
Is this a comparable analogy?
Anyways, I've done a little bit of research and most of the threads about my comparison are about three years old. Mostly complaining of poor software and bugs. I assume now Akai has worked out these bugs.
So are the studio/ren now better?
