Going to France! - Travelling Producer's Equipment?
Hey, so basically at the moment I'm using a 2006 old model MacBook Pro with 2GB ram, not your strongest laptop for making music but whatever. I use Logic Pro to make Hip-Hop/R&B/Electronic and sometimes Indie music (but I don't have much equipment for recording live instruments). I'm going to France for some work experience at a Golf Club Resort, but this summer I really want to get my producing skill up to scratch nonetheless. I wanna make hot beats, as cheesy as it sounds.

I have a really old yamaha 69 key psr something or other which I hook up to my laptop with a midi-to-usb cable. I use it a lot. However, for travelling, and staying somewhere as a guest, it's not ideal. What's a cheap, small, travel-friendly alternative? I've got about £100-200 to spend. If it comes with a mpc that's even better.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks man. After some shopping around using reviews of those two, I found the mpk mini which is basically the two combined which takes up fewer USB ports... I only work with two and use one for my external hard drive so really it's ideal. So I ordered it!

Thanks
