but I like to DJ you're going to want/need two sets of cans then. headphones for dj'ing you want heavy and loud. for studio you want them to be flat frequency response across as broad a range as possible (some go as wide as 10hz-25khz). the sony mdr and pioneer dj series for example colour the soun...

for the ubergeek mathematicians among us who know how to use expression evaluators like what used to be in GoldWave for windows, here ya go:

dead simple to do with fm synthesis actually. you'll want a noise oscillator mixed with one or more sawtooth or sinewave oscillators (at very low volume) your envelope for the static/noise should have a sharp attack and depending on how 'open' you want it, a short or long tail but at much lower volu...

i never thought i'd find anything as dead-simple as fruitytracks (not fruityloops; dead product by same guys) now that i've spent a couple of days in ableton's arrange view, there's no going back to anything else. not even cubase. as for renoise/other next-gen trackers -- if i never see another colu...

good luck finding a used fs1r -- anyone who's got one isn't letting it go. there isn't really a bad time to use fm synthesis. once you add filters into the mix it's the same as anything else, imho. oscillator(s) + filter = subtractive. even a monosynth using a ring mod is a 2-osc fm synth (ring mod ...

electribe esx1 to get the whole idea, all the phrasing, and most of the fx and step-edits to fx/filter/etc.
then record each part and tweak with 10-band eq individually on the 'puter, then multitrack the structure of the tune itself.
render down and clean up. done!

i prefer stepsequencer+mouse.

what the 1000 lacks in glossy features like mp3 & data cd playback it gains in total stability and dead-on ability to scratch-cue.
800 and below lag a bit in that regard. noticably.
