I use one of these and it’s fantastic.

Today it's... somewhat different, and more involves space, light, comfy furniture and the minimum of necessary gear to realise my creative projects... we all mature, I guess!

Bingo!!!!!

But it is like a constantly changing landscape for me, recording, I may be in a rickety old cart one day, a car the next, then a train, or a Liner going to strange lands, that’s how I view equipment, it carries us on our journey, and we use what we need, and what suits us at the time, and no one w ...

I’ve stuck the list in the Miscellaneous section of the Free Ads.

I’d be prepared to drive it somewhere worthwhile if that helps (within reason)!

Mods - Please delete if this is against the rules. Following an intensive gear clear out, I have the following bits still available.

That's how I got into the 'gear' mess I did!!!!

I've been away from the site for a while. During this time, I have sold all my gear. All I have kept is my MBP, UAD Arrow and my soft-synth/sample libraries (enough to sink a ship!!!) All I need is a controller keyboard and a good pair of headphones. The controller keyboard will be easy to sort. The ...

Lovely playing.

Always found drums a pain to program on the MC500. I used to program the drums on a TR909 and then record the midi into the MC500.

Ah..... the good old days!

I use my Kronos for sketches, but to be honest although the idea of not using a DAW is attractive, the Kronos sequencer is tricky to do serious editing with. Some folk are Jedi-like with what they’ve managed with it, but I’ll stick with Logic! Spot on!! Before the advent of DAWs, I used a Roland MC5 ...

It seems that everyone is on the 'no DAW' bandwagon these days, but I don't think it makes things any easier. To get a complete finished 'mix', I would agree that a DAW is the certainly the easiest way to achieve this. As I type this, I am sat on my sofa with a MBP on my lap working with Spitfire's ...

Interesting Guido3 saying about getting away from similar chord shapes by using a keyboardless MPC X this from the gent that got that lush Vintage Vibe Deluxe. Ha..... You are indeed quite correct! The VV73A lives away from the rest of my gear at the moment. Currently, it's kept in the house with ...

Great question!!! I have owned a fair few over the years and can confidently say you will find the experience frustrating. The Montage and latest Fantoms aren't really workstations now. The Kronos was probably one of the last true workstations. Recently, to get myself away from my Mac and DAW, I ...

You can turn off the ‘Throb’ in the settings.

I can identify with this. When I was younger and had much less money to spend on kit, you had to learn a piece of equipment inside out as there was no other alternative. The older I get, the more disposable income I have, the less deep into a synth I tend to go. As a result, I have far too much kit ...

Not if you buy 2

The Motu MIDI Express XT can be used standalone as well as with a Mac/PC. It’s a great bit of kit.

I’d get a TB2 Satellite as a bare minimum. Especially on a TB3/USB C Mac.

As I have mentioned in previous posts, the only thing I would change with hindsight, is more onboard SSD storage. Mine has 512GB, I should have got 1TB. Ciao Guido, is it for having more space or because the 1TB version is faster? I’m in the hunt for a new mac too (got MBP 2012...) Thanks! It's a s ...
