Answer by mtvtoni
As in the situation of samplers, the 2500 is sort of a high end
and requires total synth and drum microphone setup. The range
of microphones gets expensive. The ideal place to go nowadays
is rent a band room at a rock strip rental for a month. By the
month say for 200-300 the equipment on hand can be reviewed
and start by looking for a rental club that is making home cds.
To make a few cds or tapes, get your work lined up and totally
rehearsed say for 100 hours before you even rent. Facts are
out there, your mixing, and sampling so effects are various out
through breaking new sound barriers. Be sensible don’t buy
equipment if you can rent it, due to the constant upgrade and
variety you may need. http://www.yamaha.com

Article by Shannon Sobcheck

The original Akai MPC was designed by Roger Linn, who was hired as a design consultant by Akai. He developed the functional design, including the panel layout and software/hardware specifications. He then created the software with a team of engineers. The hardware electronics of Akai MPCs were designed by English engineer David Cockerell and his team. Cockerell was a founder member of the synthesizer firm EMS (co-creator of their famous VCS3 along with Peter Zinovieff), and had then worked for effects manufacturers Electro-Harmonix.

The Akai MPC is a professional and user-expandable 64-track sampler-sequencer workstation. Akai MPC comes with 2MB sample memory which can be expanded to 32MB. Sampling specs include a cd-quality 16-bit, 44.1 kHz sample rate in stereo or mono. All the necessary edit tools are here: tune, pitch shift, truncate, looping, key placement, velocity effects and more. Akai MPC feature up to 32 voices of polyphony, complete MIDI implementation, a built-in disk drive and a SCSI interface prepare this sampler for any situation.

Answer by costel
I would lean more towards the Akai piece. Ableton is an insanely amazing piece of software and is SUPER versatile. You can do so much with Ableton, your options are endless.
