Hello all
I see this thread has been going for a bit. I'm in the process of getting a new midi keyboard. I was looking at the M-Audio oxygen series keyboards. It looks like it has been a journey for most of you to get this thing working. I'm pretty new to music recording and have a basic concept of how this stuff goes together. I'm excited to be able to record music and put it together to make a song. So far for my journey I feel like I have spent more time watching videos and reading threads then actually making music. I want a keyboard so I can play some cords and do some drum stuff. I have a M-Audio axiom 25 controller now and have no idea how to get it to work with cakewalk. other than the keys I can't get the pads to work. Anyway, I was thinking maybe i should get a new controller and that will be easier. but it looks like it's just as much of a headache. So, to the point of this. Is it worth it to get this controller or should i be looking for another one? I really like the look of it, and it has all those pads. and weighted keys. I don't know if this resonates with you or not but i want to make music. Not spend my very little spare time being a programmer. Once you have it set up is it all you thought it would be? are you making the music you hear in your head? Any suggestions would be great.
