    I continued this conversation over at the Ableton forums as well. The advice there was to avoid M-Audio for build quality and step up each of the selected pieces to more production minded equipment. In place of the Novation Launchpad it was suggested I use the Akai APC40 for its knobs & sliders in addition to the pads offered by the Launchpad and the Novation 25 SL MKII over the Akai MPK25 as its mapping features are more robust/intuitive. The cost of the APC40 and the Novation 25 exceed that of the 3 other smaller pieces so I'm still undecided. Any input from hardware users is appreciated as I've heard great sound being controlled by just the Launchpad and a Korg nanoKontrol . Thanks

    Also, I found some of this gear used from Guitar Center. Anyone ever buy used music gear? I've bought used computer equipment before but never music. Shy away from or what? Experiences?

    • yeah, M-Audio is usually not very good in terms of built quality (compared to other brands)Miguex
