Settling With Less

[gm2sick]

I have a question. I'm in the process of picking out some equipment. At this moment, I just have some studio monitors, a computer, software, and a USB M-Audio Microphone. I was thinking of buying an AKAI MPK Mini. If i did buy this I'd be able to buy it like real soon, but from experience would it be worth to wait to get more money so I could buy and MPK 49, or another all-around MIDI Keyboard thats probably 3 times more expensive? My idea is that if I can get this AKAI MPK Mini, I'll be able to make music a lot easier mean while. Then later get a good keyboard, and sell the AKAI MPK mini or still use it for taking it around. Been trying to get a job where I'll be able to work close to music, or even be able to get discounts on equipment, can't be too picky though at this point.

If anybody has experience with this, or just wants to put their 2 cents in, I would appreciate it. Thank you.

Hi! I'm new, but i can tell you from my 3 months of beat making, the smaller keyboards (FOR ME) are a pain, I like having all the room I need to lay down a track, and switching from octave to octave is (call me lazy) a pain. I'm personally saving up for the 49 key. If you have the money, get the mini, but definitely save up for a larger keyboard. Thanks!

Well from your post it sounds like you really want the 49 anyway, usually when im like that even if i buy something different in the meantime, i always go back and get the thing i initially wanted. With that being said, Id wait if I was you and get exactly what i wanted to begin with.
