I'm afraid that if I buy this it will end up collecting dust somewhere along with half the guitar gear I've accumulated over the past year and a half lol. One of those things where I dream of producing and creating my own music but the reality is that I never actually do…. 🤣

Loved this thing - had an older model back in college (used it for chipmunk sampling bc kanye west).

Dont let the price fool you, at this price point - getting semi-weighted keys is a steal & makes a huge difference.

Also comes with ableton lite - great DAW software for all your composing, mash-ups, dj, etc.

Do you know how to play a piano?
I don't which is why I've been using Maschine and AbletonPush for years. You can easily pick up a Push 2 for or Maschine mk2 $200.
If you know how to play piano, this MAudio is a great portable controller (but you may prefer a 49 or 61 key instead), better than the Artiria imo, especially if you use Ableton (super easy to learn, very intuitive program). The pads and encoders are more akin to Live's interface so it should be easier to develop a workflow. Semi weighted is super nice.
And Ableton Live Lite can get you very far if you're in a budget.. it'll force you to bounce down tracks and render audio bc you only have 8 channels (I believe).
If I were starting production all over, I'd get:
1) Ableton Push (most likely over Maschine even though I prefer Maschine's controller workflow over Push's), and
2) Probably Omnisphere and learn the $h¡± out of it..study it and become a master because it can pretty much craft anything you need. Serum or Pigments could possibly do the same also (wave table synthesis). Serum you can rent to own through Splice. Don't fall into the "latest and greatest VST" trap... I've seen production tutorials of guys creating incredible sounds with old versions of Massive bc they know it like back of their hand.

If you ever thought about making music and you have a computer, this could be all you need.

Guitar center will usually price match. Support your local music stores.

Do a google search for "comparing" these two, there's al lot to consider (pros and cons). If you have Arturia synths, the Mini3 is better. I think the Oxygen pro has full size keys, semi-weighted, and aftertouch which is huge for "feel".

Amazing piece of equipment but you may want to consider the 49 or 61 key version if you intend to be serious about producing music

Why pay ~$30 more for this over the 32 key?

Maybe he means, if you want to continue to have a brick and mortar building full of instruments in your town, then give them your business when possible. Online shopping is killing off a lot of retail locations.

I have both an minilab mk3 and kelab essential mk3, though the latter is registered under my son's name so he can get the software. I highly recommend those over any other controllers for two reasons. First they come with a ton of great software that would likely run over $200 if you bought it separately. Secondly once you are in arturias ecosystem you get good cross grade offers. I got pigments for about $60 and the v collection for $150. That is $800 in soft synths for around $200.
