I am just in love with Akai's MPCStudio MK2 controller and using the MPCSoftware. The process is so easy to just load the software and start creating music.It is especially fun for making learning more fun because with this setup we can easily record something that we are learning and then add in some music and create a fun track that we can listen to again and again and share with friends and family as well.MPCStudio also makes it easy to create your own background music for a video you are creating or for a podcast to add a cool feel to your content. It is so easy to start making music since when you purchase this product it comes with so many drum kits which are pre-made elements of music such as the Basil Kit made by Snipe Young. Once you load it, you can start tapping away and hear the cool kick, snare, 808, melodies and cymbals that Snipe setup for us to have fun with! I also love the ability to record audio and chop the samples and the MPCsoftware makes it so easy to easily cut and paste the audio and increase or decrease the volume levels as well. I also love how this MK2 has a data dial that you can use to browse samples and also use to zoom in and out of audio recordings.
