[Download] Building on what I've learned and created with the MPC Live for the past five years, the Force is the choice for moving forward. Everything you've ever learned about MPC is useful knowledge with the Force, every program or project you've ever created with the MPC can be imported into the Force and remixed. I can't be more pleased.

[Download] Im not a Musician. I work in video. I was tired of depending on musicians and audio sites to help finish out my projects. I know enough about music, that with this product im dangerous! Its exciting and very easy to learn if you have to passion for it.

[Download] If you are on the fence about purchasing this gear, I can only say it is the best thing I have ever purchased for music production! It really does do it all.

It is made well, sturdy, and the number of short cuts to achieve any number of functions has been amazingly well considered. The ability to integrate a data ssd hard drive in the unit itself is brilliant, but they didn't stop there ... you can still access media via SD cards and USB drives.

Akai has done a great job of addressing most needs in this one maschine!

[Download] I was debating (and saving) to purchase this program (that I studied and learned in college) when I came across this version, at the same time I had just enough to make the purchase. This is a wonderful program tried and true, top of the line. Any DAW will help you arrange music, but just like cars, some fit differently. A Chevy cobalt will get you to your destination as well as a Rolls Royce. They will both technically do their job of getting you to your destination, but one will feel just right, comfortable, natural. That's what this program is. Comfortable (since it's what I learned on) an extension of my creativity, like a piano or my voice. Thank you B&H, sent from above in his perfect time, for providing this deal when I needed it. This is the Rolls Royce of DAWs for me.

[Download] I am an electronic producer and use Ableton quite a lot. I recently acquired the Uhbik FX bundle and what can I say? This bundle is an amazing deal for the money! Each element of this package provides a powerful, complex set of options in a neat and intuitive package. The beauty of these effects is that they maintain their complexity without sacrificing a simple and easy to understand user interface.

[Download] I have only had the Electribe for 10 days or so, but so far it is one of the more useful rhythm tools I have used. I play mostly folk, blues, and world-type music but I have already developed some excellent rhythm tracks using mostly the percussion section and going light on the filters that significantly modify sound. Another positive factor is that while simple to use initially, a person could spend months experimenting with the different sounds and filters. I also like that it is both a box that will essentially play the rhythm track for you or you can play it as an instrument. While I would like a song mode, it does have a Pattern Set process that allows you to string many four-bar pattern sets in a row by just touching a button before the end of the last beat of the fourth measure of a pattern. I would like to have eight measures instead of four and the Chord function would be more useful if it displayed the chords being played. As usual, ordering from B & H was easy and the delivery was prompt. I love the free Expedited Shipping.
