Second this . I bought one in 2013 when I started getting into producing , I made shitty big roomwhats popular at the time house and thought I was the don . Point being , I had GAS Gear Acqusation Syndrome and thought that buying a launch pad would turn me into jeremy ellis . I used it about 3 times and it is currently sat on my desk . Although , I do use it as a midi controller for cue pointsFX in traktor . My point on GAS everybody has this and people don ' t really realise it , a new midi keyboard will NOT improve your production abilities as you ' re capable of drawing in midi . But , if you use it right , it ' s good to have infront of you . I would avoid all live performances until you have better electronic music knowledge .
