Key Takeaways
- The Akai MPC Studio yog tus tswj kho vajtse rau Akai's MPC 2 app.
- Ntau tus neeg ntaus suab paj nruag nyiam qhov kev txhais tes ntawm cov khoom siv suab paj nruag.
- Kev sib xyaw ua ke yog kev sib koom ua ke nrov thiab muaj zog.
Akai's MPC Studio tshiab ua rau muaj kev sib cav ntawm cov suab paj nruag nerds. Nws yog lub thawv pheej yig-ish ntawm cov nyees khawm thiab pob qhov rooj uas txuas mus rau ib qho app ntawm koj lub computer, cia koj pob zeb Akai's MPC app zoo li nws yog cov thawv khoom kim heev.
Musicians nyiam nyiam qhov kev sib tw ntawm kev kho vajtse dhau qhov tsis txaus ntseeg ntawm software, thiab cov tswj hwm zoo li Ableton's Push (pib ntawm $ 799) coj lub cev mus rau lub zog audio software suites. Tab sis Akai tau nce qhov kev ua si los ntawm kev nqa qhov zoo li tus tswj hwm zoo ntawm tus nqi pheej yig heev $ 269.
"Hardware tsuas yog 'tes-rau,' yooj yim thiab yooj yim. Muaj ib theem ntawm kev cuam tshuam nrog cov khoom siv uas tsis tuaj yeem hloov nrog nas nyem, txawm tias lub tshuab zoo npaum li cas. tig lub pob qhov rooj, thawb lub pob, lossis txav ib qho fader tag nrho muaj qhov cuam tshuam tam sim ntawd-tsis yog ntawm lub suab paj nruag nkaus xwb, tab sis tus neeg siv, thiab, "tus tsim suab paj nruag Ric Lora hais rau Lifewire ntawm email.
Brain vs Tes
Kom tau txais lub tswv yim ntawm vim li cas kev tswj tuav tes yog qhov tseem ceeb rau cov kws ntaus nkauj, cia peb xav txog qhov kev ua yeeb yam nyob. Peb tus kws ntaus suab paj nruag tsis tseeb tsuas yog tsim kom muaj lub ntsiab lus tseem ceeb hauv zaj nkauj. Cov neeg tuaj saib mus rau txiv ntseej - lawv tag nrho rau hauv nws. Nws yog lub sijhawm rau poob. Puas yog peb tus kws ntaus suab paj nruag khaws cia cov neeg tuaj saib qhov nro nrog lub pob qhov rooj, thiab tom qab ntawd ntaus lub pob kom cue qhov poob? Los yog lawv puas nas mus rau ib qho screen slider, sim txav nws smoothly, thiab ces nias lub icon?
Ob leeg tau txais txoj haujlwm, tab sis tsuas yog tus qub cia tus kws ntaus nkauj ua ib daim, thiab xav tias nws tiag tiag. Nrog rau yav tom ntej, lawv kuj tseem yuav ua lawv cov se.
"Cov tswj hwm zoo li MPC Studio thiab Ableton Push yog qhov nrov heev vim tias lawv tso cai rau ntau 'hauv lub sijhawm' tswj thiab ua kom muaj zog rau hauv koj qhov kev ua yeeb yam," tus kws sau nkauj Brad Johnson hais rau Lifewire ntawm email. "Txawm hais tias tsis muaj dab tsi tsis ncaj ncees lawm nrog lub programming suab paj nruag ncaj qha rau hauv koj lub [Digital Audio Workstation], koj yuav poob qhov kev ua tau zoo uas ua rau muaj ntau yam kev ua yeeb yam zoo."
Tus tswj hwm MPC
Qhov upsides rau cov thawv tshwj xeeb yog manifold. Tsis zoo li cov apps, cov nyees khawm tsis txav. Lub pob qhov ntim ntawd ib txwm nyob rau sab saum toj sab laug, thiab koj tuaj yeem tuav nws yam tsis xav. Thiab kho vajtse feem ntau tsis tshua muaj siab thaum nws los txog rau kev ntseeg siab-khoom siv sib tsoo, tab sis software tsoo ntau dua.
Kuj, koj tuaj yeem tig lub thawv tawm, tom qab ntawd tig rov qab rau ib lub lim tiam tom qab, thiab koj nyob hauv tib qho chaw.
Tab sis nws kuj yog-los ntawm kev tsim-tsim txwv. Ib qho khoos phis tawj tuaj yeem nthuav dav, thiab rov kho dua yuav luag tsis kawg. Cov kev tswj hwm tib yam khoom siv uas muab qhov kev nkag siab zoo, kawm tau-cov leeg nqaij-nco kev paub kuj tseem ua haujlwm ib txoj haujlwm, mus ib txhis.
Qhov ntawd yog qhov uas txoj kev sib xyaw ua ke tuaj txog. Koj tau siv Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) zoo li Ableton Live, lossis Akai's MPC2, nrog rau tag nrho lawv qhov tob, nrog rau tag nrho cov plug-ins (cov cuab yeej ntxiv thiab teebmeem) uas koj xav tau. Txhua lub sijhawm koj tuaj yeem rub tus nas yog qhov ua tau zoo, tab sis thaum ua haujlwm thiab sau, koj tuaj yeem siv kho vajtse.
Qhov no tau ua tau yuav luag ntev npaum li peb tau muaj suab paj nruag software. MIDI keyboards thiab controllers tuaj yeem txuas mus rau feem ntau cov suab paj nruag apps, suav nrog cov hauv koj lub xov tooj. Tab sis cov no yuav tsum tau configuration, thiab tuaj yeem flaky nyob rau hauv cov nqe lus ntawm kev ntseeg. Qhov zoo nkauj ntawm ib yam dab tsi zoo li MPC Studio los yog Push yog lawv tau tsim nyob rau hauv tandem nrog cov software, thiab cov kho vajtse yog tsim los kom zoo kawg nkaus mesh nrog cov kho vajtse. Ib hom suab paj nruag cyborg, yog tias koj xav tau.
Muaj ib theem ntawm kev sib cuam tshuam nrog kho vajtse uas tsis tuaj yeem hloov nrog nas nyem, txawm tias lub tshuab zoo npaum li cas.
"Ib txoj hauv kev sib xyaw yog txoj hauv kev zoo tshaj plaws los mus rau kev tsim suab paj nruag hauv lub xyoo pua 21st," Eloy Caudet, tus tswv ntawm Wood thiab Fire recording studio hauv Aachen, Germany, hais rau Lifewire ntawm email. "Akai ́s MPC lossis Ableton Push muab koj lub peev xwm los tswj koj DAW nrog koj cov ntiv tes thiab tsis nrog tus nas, thiab qhov kev xav no tau ze heev [rau] kov cov iav analog tiag tiag."
Yog tsis muaj dab tsi ntxiv, cov neeg ntaus suab paj nruag niaj hnub no tau ua phem rau kev xaiv. Cov twj paj nruag zoo tshaj plaws tuaj yeem muaj tus nqi qis, thiab hauv hluav taws xob hauv ntiaj teb cov kev xaiv yuav luag tsis muaj qhov kawg.
Thiab qhov kev sib tw nrov no yog ib txoj hauv kev zoo los ua kom lub zog ntawm cov khoos phis tawj dav dav nrog cov tib neeg xav tau twiddle knobs.
