Tips for a beginner
Hi everyone!
MY SITUATION.
I know a bit about music (theory, guitar, sing, percussion) but never tried making anything "digital". I'm a bit confused by all the different device names (sampler, grooveboxe, synth, midi controller, looper) especially since sometimes the same device can do a lot of things.
WHAT I WANT.
I would like a physical device which is portable, with a battery and a speaker to play around and have fun making music by myself. My goal is to HAVE FUN, LEARN and PLAY with other people randomly, I'm not seeking anything professional at all of course.
I also have a macbook pro, which can be useful with a midi controller, but I think I would like a device that CAN play by itself without being connected to a pc.
I would like to be able to have access to a sound library (or make my sounds), play them, record bits of them an play multiple track of different sounds.
SHARE YOUR WISDOM.
What KIND of device am I looking for? A groovebox? A sampler? A loop machine?
Any specific hardware you feel suggesting me?
Anything I should pay attention to?
Device that peak my interest: TE-K0II, MPK mini, Ableton Move, Akai MPC.
Sorry for the confusion, I know nothing at all, and thank you again!
