I would Love to add this to my recording studio, beside that Akai makes great products. MPC studio and Renaissance is the future.
I use Traktor for track decks, and recently started to useing Ableton for adding audio samples & more spesific effects to create background & atmosphere to my sets. I use Xone 4D as analog mixer & midi controller but it's not enough for control everythings.
Also i want to thanks everybody, who spend from time from their life and trying to share with us information and their priceless experiences. I learnt a lot of things from here, and just a few another websites (similar with askaudiomag.com)
I can fix my problem with a few extra modifier button and creating another layer. It's not big problem for me. I hope this controller go to person, who is really need it to improve his creativity on music. After when we're listening him music, everyone will be winner ;)
Happy new year to all :)
1) Its portable
2) Its slim
3) Its a Midi Controller wich means I can use it in all my 4 music softwares.
4) It comes with about 7 or 9 Gb of sound library and MPC Software
5) It has a lot of control and the easiest way to create loops in MPC soft.
6) Its an MPC product
and 7) Its just what I need!
Nice one!
Thanks

(excuse my french) Good luck to everybody that entered!!!! Akai Pro MPC Studio Music Production Controller!!!
I have to have it !!! its mine !!!
- I don't have the money to buy one at the moment, otherwise I would
- I am a loyal Akai Pro customer, currently using the MPD26 and LPK25
- I would love to use an MPC (in any form) to add to my production/performance.
Anyway, it´s a great prize and i´m sure who wins it will make it worth it´s value!!!
Using ableton live suite 9 with the lpk25 & the lpd8, I just need more pads like that
Thank you
I would love to win an MPC Studio because MPC has the best Algorithm for creating Good feeling Grooves.
I'm a Musician That likes to feel my Music !
And for me to push buttons essentially... I love pushing buttons that's my favorite work ;)
With Akai's move into software and hardware integration, it's just unbelievable what can be achieved. This is something that I could not have perceived in years past and even the MPC1000 has nothing compared to this in terms of portability.
I can go on and on and on, and would probably need a few pages to write about the Akai's creation here, but I'll stop here by saying that:
"I would love to win because of my cravings for that legendary MPC sound, it's warmth, portability, creativity inducing capabilities, and the fact that it's place as the center stage of my (very minimal but effective) studio will set me on my way to being that prolific producer that I think I can be."
Matt
that i can lunch mor mpc`s at the same time,eche instance a controller,
that`s preety nice,i think it work`s with the mpc element,that users can run more instances,so why not 2-3 controllers at eache time in the DAW!
Steve
im i need of a up to date beat controller to keep up with the new age beat producers of today
P.S. sorry for my english
Good luck to everyone!!
First project when I receive an MPC Studio = A track made on MPC about MPC for MPC.
MPC: Music Production Center
or
MPC: My Personal Catalyst
Thanks for the opportunity.
Also, I'm more of a 'Pads' than a mouse & keyboard beatmaker.
Until one day, when I first saw a band.
Of course with limited knowledge, I know some of the instruments,
Drums, Bass, Guitars.
But there's one thing that I can't name.
A square equipment with 16 gray pads.
"What is that?"
Curious, I started to search about the band.
It is Linkin Park.
and the Asian guy with that weird 'instrument' is Mr. Hahn.
from there I started to get to know more about AKAI,
but never had the chance to own a product.
I wish I could.
and this is why, I deserved getting the AKAI MPC Studio more than the others.
For experimental musicians here
And this is like a space machine and i love it
It's also a good thing to know about your blog! Keep running it!
I've always trusted Ask Audios reviews so I know that the Akai MPC Studio is an awesome controller. To include the videos in the price is a great idea! If I won it would be one of the best days of my life.
Thanks you Ask Audio for an amazing magazine and great website.

Happy new Year and thanks so much to make music possible for me. The MPC is the most amazing instrument I've ever heard of.
I FEEL THAT IF IM ABLE TO PRODUCE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC TRACKS I CAN FIND ANOTHER AVENUE BESIDES SPORTS FOR OUR YOUTH TO FOCUS ON BESIDES THE DRUGS&GANG VIOLENCE.

I WILL BE ABLE TO CREATE MUSIC I CAN HELP BRING MY COMMUNITY YOUTH FIND THE LOVE OF MUSIC CREATION A WAY TO MOVE FORWARD& MOTIVATE THEM TO BECOME BRIGHTER FUTURE ADULTS EXPANDING THERE GIFT&LOVE FOR MUSIC
Great reviews on all the products on this site also! New destination for reliable reviews!
1) i start to learn make electronic music with ableton, and i think use an MPC is fantastic.
2) no money...
Thanks :)
I do not have a controller of this kind.
Sitting in Logic and and add notes using a mouse does not create the most appealing music in the world.
And because I am only 14, I don't have much of a choice on where my studio goes; that's up to my parents. So having something like this would be perfect for the situation I'm in studiowise!
Me is still hungry
That's reason why me
Wants MPC from AKAI!
Pad one one love
One for you all
Two beats too big
Plays on and on
Three pads no bust
Cuts scratch black dust
Pad four rap more
You want you must
Five fingers girls gingers
Swing eras Blues Jazz
Made diffrent sixth frame
Sex fame over game
Lucky seven be mine
You sound so fine
Eight ate peace now
MPC State Of Mind!
Good luck and happy new year!
And I really, really want to own one.
I hope i win, or someone who really needs it.
I hope i win, or someone who really needs it.
I need this piece and it would be dope to get this as a metaphorical thank you for my long time loyalty and service to such dope ass products.
Cheers! :)
so thats why i want to win
I can't take it! I have been browsing all of the current MPC Midi Controllers online and only the Renaissance and The MPC Studio fit my needs. They're just way out of my budget :(
Please, AKAI, I need it badly.
But I'd like to...
I'm without work,I have discapacity and it's difficult for me to walk because of an accident.The only thing that keeps me alive is making music,,I haven't got much pay though I see all these controllers and i die for having one,the only thing I could afford was the AkaiLPD8 but I'm sure I could make this MPC work work and work.Thanks and good luck all
there is simply no other reason that i would like to win this wonderful tool in the MPC Studio in that i have a long time love affair and deep affection for the Akai brand and a sincere and very deep passion and enchantment for music creation. the marriage of these attributes are powerful and cosmic. it is for that very reason i should win. i've seen Akai University MPC Moment videos with Young Guru, the Hitmen, Gaslamp Killer, Pete Rock, DJ Premier, Baby Face, the legendary Marley Marl and many other greats and felt like i gained tremendous info leading up to the purchase of one of these machines one day. yes! I am unashamedly a fanboy and don't miss a moment to log in to Native Instruments Maschine products and regulate the misguided tales and disparaging comments users leave about the Akai MPC line...not on my watch.
Thank you again Ask Audio Magazine!
This would allow me to produce live Hip-Hop with friends instead of just in my DAW.
Last year (2013) I was on the Dancefare in Utrecht (Netherlands) and I saw the demo and review of the MPC Studio and to me the MPC is a lovely marriage between hardware and software.
I just registered specially for this contest but I regularly read your articles, tutorials, intervieuws and reviews and I love it!
Keep up the good work!
Drew

Best regards
The project consist in a shared studio where everyone could improve the equipment of the studio by putting a small amount of money!
Hope you read the comment! :)
I just want one!....Isn't that....enough???
Regards
Krzysztof
Good luck all and thanks for the prize!
and banging out some mad beats, yo!
1...2...3...4... please i want that MPC to make my way on top to be part of the best
I really don't have a decent MIDI controller to speak of. Would love to have this to work with Ableton Live 9.
Thank you for the opportunity!
Shannon McDowell
je le veux !!! pour améliore mon set !!!!

Hope I win.

Also Known As Indispensible!
I would be grateful to win this controller because it would make me more efficient while creating music. I'm currently unemployed because I'm a caregiver for my Grandfather, a world war 2 veteran and I can't afford any kind of gear. I'm making music 100% ITB and I use inexpensive M-Audio monitors and an inexpensive 4 octave keyboard controller that has no pads, sliders, etc. My only free time is spent making music and the MPC Studio would be greatly appreciated.
I always hope to try play with it! :)
good luck to all! :)
Stringent quality standards FTW! AKAI! YAY!
and I would love to hear what this sleek piece is all about. Send it right over!
But in all seriousness, its an awesome piece of kit, and it would be fantastic to be able to use something other than my iPad or my computer keyboard as a MIDI controller :)
Good luck everyone!
Pleeeease!!!!! :)
Greetings from Italy!
ASKAUDIOMAG.COM,
P L E A S E help bring a big smile to a longtime music enthusiast that has been wanting an AKAI MPC for well over a decade!
THANKS & Good Luck to ALL contestants (:
This MPC looks like a beast
Good luck to everyone :)
Back when coming home from a late night studio session in summer 2010, I was transporting my gear, and was robbed. I lost my 828 MKII audio interface, 88-Key Korg Triton Extreme, KRK Rockit 5s, a plethora of pedals & controllers... basically over a $6k loss right in the middle of some heavy projects.
Currently I'm using a paired down setup since then with an old 828 MKI, midi controllers and 3rd party soft synths in my Logic setup.
I would love to get back into my MPC technique and reintegrate the sound and feel of the MPC in the projects I'm currently embarking on.
Thanks in advance!
1) Dynamic workflow and design, best of both worlds!
2) Portability, this alone would secure it as my primary Groove Sequencer!
3) Last but not least, my fellow students (Online music school) would be envious.
Good luck to everyone

Over the years, I have bought second hand S2000's, a CD3000, S3000XL's, CD3000XL's, and the latest one - a Z4 (I missed the S5/6000). I now have an MPD32, so I ALMOST have a MPC (everyone says that the Z4 has the same sampling engine of the MPC4000). But an MPC is more than just the pads. It's more than just the sampler. It's the combination of a great sampler, great pads (with a good feel for bashing out beats) and a tight sequencer with lovely swing/groove functions. I'd love to own this because it would give me all of that, with the wonderful bonus of portability. Bashing out Dre style MPC beats on the go??? The only way to travel!!!
That's a real beauty.
Over the last year I have realized how much I truly miss the MPC drumming experience. The pads and the software. Second to none.
I'm currently on the market to get back into a pad controller. Hard to avoid all the noise about NI Maschine.
But I'm all MPC at heart. Winning this MPC would really be amazing!

I have been using a lot of sequencing in Logic, but I would love to get basic ideas on this hardware and mix it into Logic after like I used to with the older MPCs, but I really want to see the new features and take production to a new level.
Thank you for offering us possibilities to make always more and better beats!
Simply essential for all electronic musician...
