I bought the Arturia Essentials MK3 midi keyboard. I liked the 9 knobs and sliders. I assigned the sliders to the channel volume sliders in Ableton so i can mix the song quickly without using my mouse. And the 3 modes switch on the keyboard let me quickly switch between Ablteon assigned stuff to a softsynth for example. Im happy with it. Could have felt a bit more solid/quality but it was like 220 bucks.
Hey! To be honest, I haven't had much experience with it, but it's weird that you say that because I ordered it the other day! Lol. I am doing a video on working with preamps and the Push 3, and this is one I want to try. I'll let you know how I get on!
Great vid, and i'm going to be picking up that interface! I appreciate this is what you would do, but you can get much better value for money going the windows route. Mac do NOT hold the crown on quality and reliability these days, if they ever did! A ThinkPad T14 Gen 1 from 2020, with a Ryzen 7 CPU and 16 Gb ram is less than half the price of that Mac, plus the CPU benchmarks better too.
I would argue that you don't even need to start out with an audio interface if you just want to make beats without playing any instruments or doing vocals. Just get good headphones and buy a controller that comes with Ableton Lite and you're good to go.
Yeah, that’s a fair point. I guess I was classing a studio setup as having the ability to record audio as well. Without that, it could technically not be called a studio, but then again I dont know what else you would call it lol
@@pushpatterns My current setup contains a Push 2, an MPC Live 2, a Move, an MPK Mini Plus, a decent pair of audio monitors, and good headphones. But no dedicated audio interface. Still it's perfectly suited to beat making and music making, like many other setups without audio interface out there. A studio for me is a place where you create something, regardless of any live recording capabilities.
i agree with most things but the microphone. I would not recommend to upgrade to a Sm7b as it’s not a condenser microphone. It’s not an industry standard mic at all, I would rather you get the Rode Nt1A at that point. but good video i love most of the recommendations.
Thank you for your comment and for watching. I agree it isn't a condenser mic; I never claimed it was. However, I disagree that it isn't an industry standard; it has been used in most studios where I've worked and appears on numerous records by bands like the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Smashing Pumpkins, Iron Maiden, and most famously, Thriller! Additionally, it's a superior choice for beginners since you don't need to stress about room acoustics and background noise when getting started.

Wow, that sounds like a great buy and such a good idea to use it as a mixing interface!
Amazing video!!! Glad to be the first to comment
Thank you! And congrats :)
Great recommendations.
Thanks! did you think about getting anything?
What do you think about the "iRig Pro Duo I/O" as soundcard? I want it as small/portable as possible and i dont need the absolute best.

@@pushpatterns Very cool! Would love a review on it if you have the time and possibility after you used it a bit.
Also, i can read your mind! 😁
@@alexdahlin8562 haha scary!

Hey, thanks for watching! Thanks for sharing. Can you share a link to the computer for everyone to see? That sounds like a great alternative to a Mac.

Replaced parts in a modern mac?
Sorry, but what exact parts can be replaced in a mac?
Case? Power cord?)
Yes, the case and power cord, but the SSD, battery or display as well, when it comes from an official reseller or from Apple.
Yep, You can also replace the body work, screen etc..
