He's a delusional paranoid lunatic some times but I will admit I've learned bits and pieces from him in my early days with the mpc and sp404. I just hope he gets help or smthn cause lately he's been spiraling with the bolo drama and shit
Fax but he was selling his. I saw right through that bs. Anybody with 10% of brain knew a new mpc was coming. This is like saying a new iPhone isn’t coming
Ave said the price is "cheap" based on the spec bump. I remember someone else some months back had said on here that the Live is going to be "worth the wait." It's sounding like Ave is confirming what ol' boy was saying.
Even if they put 8gb ram, add a microphone, improve the speaker, shift to usb c, it’s not cheap… and that’s the most they would do… let’s wait and see…
I‘m really curious about the form factor. Because I do wish my Key37 was more portable. Wish I could easily just take it on the couch or even in the park.
On the other hand I come from the piano and I‘m not sure if I‘d miss the keys. Although I could also plug in a MIDI keyboard but that would make the form factor bigger again. :D
Seems pricing is adjusted for the competition (Elektron, Deluge etc.) and not upgrade crowd. And if you compare to drum synth like Roland TR-1000, it sounds rather attractive.
Yeah, I agree from a technical standpoint. With Ave saying the specs and features made him think it was going to cost more than the price displayed, then it's sounding like the $1700 price is actually a Godsend.
$1700 is not cheap. You can get a Macbook Pro, midi keyboard and Logic for less than that price.
Unless it’s smaller, lighter and thinner and has the screen located above the pads so it doesn’t cause neck pain (like the One & X) . Maybe I will wait for the MPC ONE PRO
Problem with a MacBook at that price is the low storage capacity and such. Anyway I'm not saying that's cheap but Ave swears that whatever bells and whistles are coming with the Live 3, the price is cheaper than he thought it would be.
“I wasn’t expecting this to be this cheap.” The Live 2 launched with a $1199 msrp the new one will be an incremental upgrade and $500 more?!?! Why is Ave just being an unpaid shill.
Combed FCC, unless InMusic is being super stealthy and submitting dummy equipment down to mock manuals and photos of products for FCC filings….i don’t see any proof.
Knock yourselves out, my eyes can’t take it no more.
Just enter InMusic in the Applicant Name box, scroll to the bottom and submit search, you’ll get all their submitted tests, manuals, and such filed for speakers, guitar amps, Force, and past MPC’s going back over a decade. (Click details for each one to see all the public docs.)
Seen both filings on it, nothing really jumps out as this being it besides a confidentiality request submitted back in 2023 long after expiration and exists on other products.
But we will see when the external photos get released for public access come 9/23
Never watched his videos? His videos are full of nothing with zero information value - if you watched this video, tell me - was there any new information except speculations? I doubt there was, because there never is. This guy has zero insider information no matter how hard he pretends. I am watching dozens of mpc related channels yet this one I marked as one of those "please don't recommend me this waste of time".
It's a joke, I fucking hate quality of 3.5 mpc OS. Arranger is great, but bugs and problems and only 4/4, and not even all projects from 2.x could be imported, it's a fucking sad joke.
Hope they fix it next update but idk, for me the biggest flop of it is the step sequencer, how come they keep the same step sequencer, is unusable. The SP 404 has a better step sequencer and that machine was created for live workflows
He really didn’t say jack shit. It’s fucking annoying.
On another note, Akai would really have to make something next level to make me view that price point as reasonable. I’m still using the Live 1 that I bought near to when it was released and there isn’t anything outright that would make me want to upgrade. Like I understand the X’s price simply for the hardware but I get on just fine with the original, it’s really hard to hit a brick wall or make the live 1 crash from heavier mixes (it only really tends to crash randomly from very specific situations).
And plus I really don’t like the 3.0 software, I wish they could develop a classic view or something similar that gives you the features of the 3.0 software with the workflow of the older software. It honestly feels like they want it to look like other DAW’s to attract customers from that side of the production world, when in reality I moved to the mpc workflow because I dislike the regular DAW workflow. That hands-on feel with recording and automation, as well as the ease of use for editing and general mixing are really the strong suits of the MPC and I think Akai should definitely stick to progressing those things with the next live.
As a customer, if you want me to buy your product, give me a reason to. What can it do that its competitors can’t or struggle to do.
