Hey since I’ve got your attention I have a question I’m struggling to get answered : for background I’m from the 80’s and started with analogue synths (Juno 106, TR’s etc) and after decades of DAW’s I think I’ve finally found my creative solution (as I had previously writing with sequencers and midi - all Dawless). Here’s my question : I’ve had my MPC One+ for under a month and still getting to know it using the manual and some YT videos on v2.0xx. Would you recommend I master v2 or just dive into v3 beta from the off? Thanks in advance m8!

I learned this when I saw producers rave about Schwabe goldclip. I am very sensitive to Gas and make impulsive purchases because of ADD. I got the demo of Goldclip and used it on one of my tracks. I made 4 versions of the track, used goldclip on 2 of the versions and listened to them blindly in the car. Afterwords I checked which versions I liked. The Goldclip versions were not it. Saved me 250 euros.
