  • @ericbarritt304
    @ericbarritt304 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Am very beginnerish in putting down music thru DAW - from the Midwest. Does the Essential MK3 produce a better sound than the Keylab MK2? The sound you're making out of it sounds really good. Other TH-cams' on the MK2 don't sound so good. I've already spent $20 bucks on an earnest hold for the MK2, and it's making me lose some sleep. The MK2 invoices out at $689. This Essential MK3 comes in somewhere over $200 plus dollars. I'm hearing that, out of the box, the MK2 after-touch is barely noticeable, but with so overwrite adjustments, it can sound better. The Essential MK3 doesn't have after-touch but I can probably get by without it. What I like about the Arturia is all the software that comes with them.

  • @keithdunwoody1302
