Must agree on the Mackies. Being a DJ i get alot of
my inspiration from music, and i love vinyl if you are going to take samples
from it my suggestion: Don't skimp on getting anything but techniques. My story,
i payed what like 600 dollars on stanton str8-80's. Now they are sold for
100 dollars and on top of that i payed about 800 dollars for 2 used 1200's and a
coffin. What did it all end up costing me? Well if i would've been smart and
gotten then 1200's (new) for 800 i would've saved 600 dollars. Lesson learned.
Do it righ the first time.
TRK.

Hhhhhmmmm well, personally, I'm going the "both" route. I
already have a $5,000 hardware studio, but I realised that, at this point,
most of it is crap. I suggest you NOT skimp on monitors...... I did, and
I bought some OK ones.. but you defnitely want the best you can buy.... i.e.
-> Mackies. I got Alesis..hehe
I'm going to save $6000 to
$8000 on a studio this next yr, and I've decided to spend it on:
$1000 -
vinyl (for my DJ habit. hehe)
$500 - new DJ mixer
$400 - FX module..
probably Lexicon or TC Electronics
$300 - hardware EQ
$500+ on a REALLY
dope compresser
$300 - Rode NT1 mic
$1500 - huge Mackie board with loads
of channels..... or... a nice digital desk
$900 - MOTU digital interface
for hard-disk recording
$2000 - Virus Indigo 2 or Nord Lead 3 (when the
price comes down) BOTH of these are COMPLETELY, UTTERLY,
SICK
minus one or two things... I think I went over my limit here but I
think you get the point. Get some great software plug ins, sequencers,
sound editors, and loop-manglers, but whether you pay for the real thing or
not is up to you....... I know when I have the money, EVENTUALLY I will buy
all the shit I have (Logic, Cubase, Fruity, Softsynths, etc)

$5000 - $1000(monitors) - $500(decent souncard) =
$3500 left over for a lot of weed. you don't even
need new software or anything! pro is a relative term.
wares will not make you a pro. skillz, time, and
knowledge will.

I am wanting to invest in some new hardware/software so I can start some
serious production. Right now, I am running Acid Pro
and Fruityloops on my PC and have a butt load of samples. What else do I
need to look at? Lets say I have $5000 to spend on
building the perfect studio, what should I buy?
