insert's Electronic Studio Setup

the headphone jack is dependant on the speakers, and you can't separate the outputs/volumes dispute the knobs. the audio jack for the headphones was literally just held in by the soldering joint with no other mount(no idea who thought this was a good idea) so it broke off. other then that, it's fine. checks basically all boxes on paper, but falls short in a few areas.

easily the best feeling keyboard for 250$ (cad off amazon) from my experience. fairly no thrills, but it's easily some of the best feeling keys from what i've experienced. not quite good enough to replace a fully weighted for me, wish they coulda snuck a few sliders and or drum pads on this even if it bumped the price up like 50$ so that way i use it basically as my workhorse, but good enough overall. just get a lunchpad mini on the side if you want the drumpad i guess. included software is eh, the only thing i really feel like is worth is the gentleman, being a very solid piano synth sample thingy. add a 20$ sustain pedal off of amazon and it really helps the experiance.

powerful monovoice synth, nice built in arp synth, and the built in (but optional to using) midi keyboard built in (which works without being plugged in) easily makes this a stand out desktop synth for me. the the "semi modular" patch bay i can extend out to my other synths is very nice to have. easily my top recommended beginner synth.

however, i will say that i feel as if it's rather limited, and keeps sucking me into the same patches, so that can be annoying

read my review of the launchpad mk1 for my opinions on that, but as for this, much more useful. being able to control the pan and level of your 8 main tracks, and have an ease start stop button is much more useful then the launch pad in a studio setting

as the title says, somewhere between an at-2020 and my xm-8500, and each are solid, only got cause it's basically the only solid usb mic i used.

as the title says, not too much more to add other then it's just really fun, quick, and easy to pull out and play around with

after having this since 6th grade (over 10 years now) she's still kicking, batter shits out, knobs are iffy, and many other issues, but i still love her, solid beginner bass, wouldn't sell her for the world

love this, no thrill, the matte black looks nice compared to other budget speaker options. if oyu can find these for a good $, i see nothing wrong with these. they are a little gutless in the bass though.
