We don’t want you to think that what’s below are complete reviews of these products. Over the last few months I took an in-depth look at all three options to give a basic synopsis of what was available and how to integrate them into your rig. All three of these solutions offer a powerful software choice with a unique workflow, send and receive MIDI clock and can be used both to create kits for improvisational drumming and pre-arranged rhythms and sequences. The choices I settled on were the Native Instruments Maschine Mikro MK2, the Akai Pro MPC Studio and the Arturia SparkLE. The preferred solution must include a robust sound library and a powerful piece of hardware directly integrated into the software solution. I have been looking for a solid tool to integrate into my rig which would allow me to develop my own beats and easily integrate them into a live performance, all at a reasonable cost under $400. Between deciding on the software you want to use and the hardware to use with it, the costs can become astronomical and the learning curve may be extremely steep. There are a lot of tools of varying price, and choosing can be a very personal experience. Most of us have our software of choice and have to deal with the various limitations involved, but many DJs also want to start integrating tools into their rig which allow them to develop their own sound and style on top of their song selections. We are seeing live mashups, integration of original pieces, and live remixing stems. Many still mix two tracks all night long, but a lot of DJs are starting to integrate original works into their sets. The last decade has brought a huge change in how DJs perform.
