both.

Launch Pad isn't even on the shelves yet, nobody has any experience using the LP.

at least the other guy got the pricing right.

they're very casual forum users looking for info. if it was a regular forum whore badgers would be unleashed, there would be blood and spooge all over the place.



OP - wait until after the New Year to get info like this.

Ive used both. what are you looking for? you want something small and compact ( lp ) or something that has knobs and faders ( apc ). I like the buttons way better on the lp, alot bigger and a bit better response than the apc.

There you go OP... You now have an answer.. The thing about all these 'a vs b vs c' type of threads is that everyone will have their opinions, workflows and preferences and after you've read a boatload of replys, you'll probably be more confused and torn.. I'm not in any way saying not to ask what, why and how people like one piece over another.. just be prepared to go round the houses in making your mind up on what gear to buy (presuming that's why your posting)

'One mans food' and all that..

Also If you want help in deciding which is better for you.. Be more specific and give us some details regarding your setup, what you want to do and not just ask what is better..

And as others have said lp aint even out yet...

just sayin........
