I've been using AIAIAI TMA-2 headphones for almost a decade now. I love the modularity that lets me replace worn out or broken pieces without throwing out pieces that still work. I hope AIAIAI is successful with these monitors so they can continue to bring inventive design to the market.

Sponsorship aside these monitors are super nice and if I were in a position to grab a pair for my studio I would probably just get these so I can take them with me
glad to see them add the simple feature of overdubbing live. very cool new 404. makes the thing way more powerful then the 404a or sx.
Jon makes Beats he does indeed ✨️🚀
Man that cp keyboard is SO fun. My buddy used to take it to gigs and plug it into a weighted keyboard. The sound engine on that series just rocks. So saucy
This chord progression reminded me of the strokes! This was a dope beat! 🔥

Sir, that Monomachine *SFX6* is *l o v e l y !* That is an *OG* flex - I remember watching you on Mass Appeal; Rhythm Roulette, I think! Nobody can hip hop and boom bap on the OT like you. Synth is such a good flex, can’t get over it😂🤙🤙. It would be dope to see you sample flip and use the MM6 as your companion keyboard with the OT. Much love!💜💜

Dude you’re such an inspiration! Out of curiosity how do you handle samples that have a very wide stereo image that don’t sound good when collapsed to mono? Do you just avoid using samples like that? Or do you try to make them mono compatible with production techniques?

Good ear I would guess. You could for example never learn any music theory and instead just listen to a lot of music and make a lot of music to train your ear and figure out what you like and what you don't like. I'm kinda going off here but writing music is all about knowing what you want and until you have a palette large enough to paint what you want to see you wont end up with "sick chords" so to speak.
