Can someone help me decide something when it comes to Sampling while DJing, as I’m debating between the following:
Current Setup - Serato Sample + Push 2 Controller with Ableton Link + Denon Prime Standalone*
Potential Setup - Akai MPC Live II with Ableton Link + Denon Prime Standalone*
Potential Setup - Pioneer DJS-1000 + Denon Prime Standalone* (if feasible)
*own both the Denon Prime 4 and Prime GO
Thanks!
Well, I was having the same dilemma. I decided to go for Maschine plus. Ableton link, wifi, best time stretch algorithm on the market so far. Djs1000 was also in my consideration, but no ableton link and a bit limited compared to akai and maschine. Then between akai and maschine - hardware specs and time stretch algorithm was in consideration. Maschine came on top. So far can do a lot without breaking a sweat and sounds good when synced to prime players vie ableton link. Akai is not bad, maybe I would also buy akai force, maybe mk2 if they make it. But also I know maschine workflow better too. And I already had maschine jam that works stand alone with maschine plus. Making it a very powerful setup without need of a computer.
