I have the MPK49 already...

Already winning?

Basically just useful for loading 16 different sounds and seeing what goes good together? Couldn't I just do the same thing with my Launchpad?

Shit has always appeared to be an overpriced gimmick to me. For the less money you could be buying a proper drum pad controller like a padkontrol or something.

(and yea, Midifighters look pretty gimicky, it's just a midi controller with arcade buttons if I'm not mistaken)

Re-reading the OP is making me feel rage-y again...if you can just do shit with your mouse OP why the fuck do you own a launchpad, a midifighter or a launchpad?

Do you know what to do with you dick or do you need help with that too?

I'd sell both and get an MPK61 for the 4x4 grid of pads. Then do the pad mod so they're more sensitive. Then spend the extra loot on other essential gear. You have nice monitors and an interface yet? You're pretty much set for control surfaces, start investing in other areas. Get a zoom h4n or something to record sound effects. You have nice headphones yet? Just assess where you're lacking and figure out what would improve your production the most.

Or just mail it to me

Pretty sure the launchpad isn't the same as a drum pad controller. It doesn't output velocity, only triggers, correct?

Just ask the universe to hand you the Maschine manual init m7.9

Also, yes...you didn't explore Maschine enough. I don't really mess around with VSTs in mine to be honest, I just bounce things to audio and load them onto the pads.

How long have you been doing this that you are dumping thousands into a home studio?

Nope bought it brand new...got it for 550. My computer is basically a gaming performance rig.

I haven't been doing this long (NOWHERE near as long as you guys)...but I have a very musical and computer-esque background. I played the violin from ages 4-13 and the guitar somewhere in there. I had Reason cracked when it first came out. I'm about to be 21, so I was messing around on Reason when I was like 10 years old. (i was like im 10 and wat is this). I taught myself how to program at 9 from reading source code and expanded my languages to C++, C, HTML, XML, CSS, PHP, Java, Javascript. I've been listening to techno music (I dont call that fucking shit EDM I hate the term) and spent a very long time on MySpace music about 8 years ago searching through EVERY genre of techno music finding a "particular" sound and music I had in my head due to my crazy imagination. I ended up with hardstyle and hardcore because dubstep wasn't even invented yet (but in my head it was) that I know. I gave up the search, then one day in highschool dubstep sprang onto the scene and I knew I had just fucking found what I had been searching for my whole life. Sounds gay as fuck but I literally breathe dubstep. I saw Blade when it first came out and when I saw the opening with the underground rave I knew I wanted to do "that". I was obsessed with subwoofers before I even heard one or had a car to have one installed. I remember watching Tiesto In Concert when Youtube was still a baby website and I KNEW I could see myself doing that but I thought it was just a pipe dream.

I started going to raves and events not too long ago (although I have been doing all this shit before it blew up in the US) and the idea of me doing this again just kept fucking bugging me and bugging me and BUGGIN me to the point where I kept thinking "what if". So I bought a Pioneer DDJ-T1 and fell in love. But I wanted more. Every day straight up thinking what if I won the lottery? I could buy the most ridiculous studio and NEVER leave. What if I just stumbled upon a bunch of money to get me every tool I needed to make this dream come true. Then a couple months ago (not going to state who it is) someone comes to me with over 30,000 dollars STRAIGHT cash and says "Buy everything you need".

I used to dream of getting with the hottest girls in my town and months later they would hit ME up and be on MY dick. Shit, I fucking dreamt the Megamillions 350 million dollar jackpot numbers two years ago but didn't play the numbers and lost out on all that money. The universe literally HANDS me whatever I want in life and I fucking know it, and it fucking knows it. Whenever I think about something so much it falls right into my damn lap.

You will see me on stage and I won't stop until I see a crowd of 70,000+ people in front of me enjoying my music. You ever get that feeling that you just know something is right? It feels like my fucking destiny.

edit: Shit I just got tears of joy re-reading that.
