...been moving toward the mobile mentality. Battery powered guitar amp with built in effects (Line6 ain't sponsoring me...yet), 6-cell netbook juiced up to 2 GB RAM & a lean XP setup & good HD space, Ableton Live 8 Suite, a just-good-enough little M-Audio USB ASIO dongle, and a pair of seal out the world Sennheiser cans. Not to mention a pretty good number of axes, a bass and some other miscellaneous MIDI gear...like the APC40 I'm finding a total blessing. As a tactile musician - I push or hit strings in various circumstances, right - it's like a whole clip fueled binge of variable BPMs, EQ Three, Beat Repeat and even line-in recording stereo guitar from the portable amp...anyway, this digital stuff mixed in with analog attitude is greatness.

Don't get me wrong, I've spent years trying to make mics and the-best-I-could-afford 4-track Tascam and half-stacks and rehearsals trying it the traditional way. Nowadays though, it's amazing the options in order to focus on the composition and phrasing and style instead of fighting with a baseline of quality or trying to get three or four people to hit the right notes at the right time. Now I can take my 'band in a box' almost anywhere, and with the korg nK and nP, actually trigger live in performance then focus on guitar for the melody line, well damn, I'm excited. Also, a place like this helps me learn more, meet new folks and maybe share in return.
This is my little setup:
Gemini XL-500 MKII's, Pioneer DJM 300, Presonus Firebox, Novation Remote SL Compact, Event PS5 Monitors and a Hackitosh DAW
Current Top 3:
1. Loco Dice - Seeing through Shadows
2. Light Year - Sex Education
3. Simian Mobile Disco - Cruel Intentions (DJ Pierre Remix)

How you liking the Korg Microsampler? I was kinda thinking about getting one of those.

liam
how was it setting up the hackintosh?
any continuing problems or performance problems?
@jasonmd2020
the microsampler is nice with 8 banks and 36 keys meaning 36 samples per bank from a-h. basically u can play ur samples in notes with the keys and u can sample anything into the microsampler but at 24 bit u can sample up 20 plus mins of samples. the cons about the microsampler is that you cant store your samples in any sd cards or any sorts of external storage. its portable but not as portable as let say a roland sp404sx or sp555
but if you dont mind the size then its portable enough for to bring it anywhere as it can run also on batteries and also you can record your sample and sequence and have overdubs like the kaossilator but longer loops. it doesnt have octave up or down. the good thing is that if you're looking at a sampler and also a midi keyboard at the same time for production and such then the microsampler serves its purpose. for me im routing my kaossilator, monitor out and other external audio like for example and ipod or pacemaker into my microsampler and also i use the midi with maschine and also ableton. and besides you can have up to 16 pattern sequence which you can make into the microsampler.
the verdict is that if you're looking at an all rounder sampler with midi keys into your daw and also midi to control traktor then microsampler is for you or to play your samples in notes and scales. the bad thing is that its not as portable smaller samplers such as roland sp404 and also the non existence octave sliders on keyboards usually and also external storage.
