What's the catch with the behringer pro vs mini, besides behringer being general assholes. A 4 voice 16 osc prophet vs clone for $100 sounds too good to be true

Ok Comboomer posted:American Musical is a moog partner and they do zero credit check interest free financing but this isn’t the Bad With Money thread I'm not sure if they have two financing systems there, but Affirm is not a great solution if that's the only one they offer. You need to link it to a credit card, and you need to have the full remaining balance available in credit every month. If you owe them $800 and need to make a $50 payment, you still need $800 in available credit on the card you used to get financing or you default and they demand full payment. And if you carry a balance month to month, it's also not interest free financing, you're just paying the interest to your cc company. If you want to pay it off early, it's a huge hassle. I went through this when I financed Ableton suite and never again

Wrageowrapper posted:So what is the general synth nerd consensus of After Later Audio in comparison to Behringer? ALA do the occasional new thing but most of their catalogue is MI clones. Is the problem that Behringer doesn't give credit to the originals or is the issue more in how they are made? Sorry for the dumb questions but I've only been a synth head for a few years and still need to catch up on my drama. The scummy thing about Behr to me, business wise, is they'll copy currently available stuff. Take the Abacus for example, that's just straight up designed to cut into Make Noise's market on Maths since you can just go buy it there still. They're not bringing back an old sound in that case, they're just ripping off a smaller outfit and using economy of scale to undercut them, and that sucks

I listened to yesterday's Benn Jordan stream and they kind of touched on it, wondering out loud why, to use our example, behringer couldn't sell the Abacus to MN for basically $99 a pop, MN continues to sell it at their price and shift from assembly to basically drop shipping the units. "Everybody" wins (except the consumer who never sees a $99 maths clone) and nobody looks like an rear end in a top hat. Thought it was an interesting take but I have to imagine at least one side had explored that option

The MPK is like a PlayStation controller. You can map knobs and buttons to various functions within your daw, and the keybed and tap pads serve as the main midi output. Alternately, your MPK comes with a copy of MPC Beats, a DAW which is specifically designed for use with Akai controllers, and as a bonus utilizes all the little stenciled settings on the controller most owners ignore If you need something to produce sound, I suggest Vital synth. It's free

The Rhythm Roulette series on YouTube is a great window into what gear professional producers actually use. Seeing guys who make six figures still using QWERTY in FL studio as their keys, it's wild. I saw a video with Four Tet once where one of his pieces of stage gear was an old laptop running old shareware audio recording software that had long expired and had the nag screen still. He uses it because he can tap the track pad and get like a 0.1ms latent return on a sample, faster than anything else he'd come across

I was listening to Mr Bill's podcast with Barclay Crenshaw and they were talking about reaching the point where you can't find any source of creativity with a piece of gear anymore. That using something for a long time can create a kind of comfort where you're not pushing it or yourself anymore, and that even something as simple as switching from one piano to another can reopen those creative pathways
