Hi there!


I would like to ask you some help with the following. I'm currently starting off with producing some electronic music. While I'm learning to work in Ableton, I'm searching for some budget basic gear to get me started. My plan is to start off with this:



  • MacBook Pro (owned)
  • Ableton Live 9 (owned)
  • FocusRite Scarlett 2i2 audio interface (owned)

Planned to purchase:


  • Audio-Technica ATH-M50x headphones
  • AKAI MPK Mini MK2 USB MIDI keyboard controller

My goal is to get used with producing electronic music and just to start off making my passion more active. I would sincerely like to hear your opinions about this!
I was also wondering how I connect/plug this headphones and MIDI keyboard. Do I use my audio interface for this?

Thanks!
Marcel
 
Yes you need an interface as the MIDI keyboard is to be connected via that and headphones will go into your laptop's headphone jack and skip the Akai and look into hardware synths that are also standalone but can still be used w/a computer.
 
The Midi board can plug in through USB and the headphones can plug in with 3.5 audio jack so you dont really need an interface with those but if you decide to get studio monitors they will need an interface to connect.
