Komplete 5

[Tony Scharf]

I went to demo maschine...and walked out with an MPC...

Reason?  the guy at GC and I spent 30 minutes trying to get it to see
the sound card, and then the computer kept crashing...

Ok, so..my pc *is* better maintained than the one at GC (it was a mac,
btw) but the experience highlighted exactly why I didn't just jump
into maschine from the go:  I spend enough time mucking with computers
that I really really don't want to in the studio until I have to.

So that's why I got an MPC.  That and they had it miss labeled as a 1k
instead of a 2500, so I got it for a steel (not much more than mashine
actually...)
