Hey guys,
I've been browsing and getting involved, reading various comments across this site and an many others for too long now.
I've been using FL Studio forever. Like literally forever. I'm reasonably comfortable with it. Too comfortable, probably.
So I'm solely a sample based producer. I'm all about the sampled beats. As you know most producers worth their salt that do the same have an MPC, of sorts. I suppose I've gotten by with the DAW setup and been pretty happy with my outcomes, on the most part. However after a daddy duties induced hiatus of 5+ years I'm now looking to produce beats again, consistently, put out vinyl on regular basis, and supply as many MC's as I can with some background noise! I want to have the right setup.
I keep asking myself (mainly when I get roped into watching an MPC video) do I need an MPC? Am I holding myself back? am I affecting my workflow?
I've looked at the MPC One for a while and talked myself down alot. I've then looked at entry level MPD's. I've been okay and not been dragged into them, however I keep looking at the MPC Studio - and it's a nice price bracket too. I'll forgive myself if it sits gathering a little dust, however I actually think the more I look at it the more it appeals and I should just make the step.
For reference - I currently use Slice X or Fruity Slicer to chop and then use my AKAI MPK Mini and I'm actually using the keys as my pads.
Any help, input, telling me my current setup is fine would be much appreciated.

Cheers!
