@BorrisInABox Could also use Note, I kinda abandoned it after Live came out since I like working on the desktop more than mobile.

@BorrisInABox Lol yeah that makes sense. More than happy to use Note as well, just not the biggest fan of trying to do music with a touchscreen.

@ZBennoui Neither was I. That's why I was so excited when Move happened.

@BorrisInABox I'm thinking about picking one up, I jusst think it's kinda expensive for what it is, but definitely a good product for sure.

@ZBennoui Look at what some other grooveboxes are doing for the price, and it's pretty reasonable. Plus it's accessible.

@BorrisInABox Yeah good point, I'm not really a hardware guy so haven't been following that market closely, but I do think it's pretty damn incredible that Move is likely the first piece of professional music hardware that just has accessibility out of the box

@ZBennoui I always have been, probably always will be a hardware-first kind of guy. I have never done well inside of DAWs for making music. It just hasn't worked for me. I've tried so many things.

@BorrisInABox Yeah I started out with hardware when I was first getting into music, but I got a Mac pretty young and the fact that it could talk, and I was finally able to have a better understanding of what I was doing without having to look at a screen had a very big influence on me. Still have an old Motif XS just hanging out next to me, got pretty good with that, figured out how the sequencer worked relatively quickly, but never was able to do much sound design with it.

@ZBennoui I did a lot of sound design on the Motif classic and later the XS. I had the most fun with my old Ensoniq TS-12 workstation from 1993, though. Got sounds out of that which I still don't think a modern DAW can produce. Also enjoyed real analog synths when I had access to those.

@BorrisInABox @ZBennoui Ableton Move, buy with Affirm. My job is done! https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/Move--ableton-move-standalone-instrument

@mcourcel @BorrisInABox Lmao absolute legend. Thanks.

@ZBennoui @BorrisInABox I have to admit that I'm tempted. Especially before it gets hit with a 25% tarrif.

@mcourcel @ZBennoui Congratulations, it comes from Germany.

@mcourcel @ZBennoui I think Sweetwater still might be The only official dealer in the United States, but the thing is made in China, by a company in Germany. So, except for financing, you might get a better deal, especially now, if you buy direct from Ableton.

@BorrisInABox @ZBennoui Okay, I will sleep on it then. Not on the Move, that would be uncomfortable.
