It does not count as equipment but one choice would probally be some kind of production school/lessons. Second would be a trip/permanent move to the uk since at least where i live in the U.S the dubstep/any other form of electronic music scene here is not exactly great...
If it had to be a space / items
A space for a venue and sound system for that venue this wouldnt have to be huge just big enough to hold people and let them dance and maybe a bar.
Items if it had to be items
Serato, mpc, some sort of midi keyboard a few daws and a bunch of vsts whatever is left monitors and saved for later lol.

I would buy a reliable computer and then buy all the software I use regularly but haven't already brought. Then I'd get some pretty good monitors, probably a7s. Then I'd buy a pair of technics and a decent mixer. Then with the leftover I would buy as much crack as I can afford and lock myself in my room with some supplies and see how much of an album I can produce before the crack kills me and then make sure the album gets released and channel 4 makes a program about me. Tell me you wouldn't listen to that album

I'll do a turd on your monitors for free, and you can call it whatever you like afterwards.

I'd just have Mala spit on a track of mine. His saliva would increase my prowess 10fold.

Actually addressing the question... I really would like to get a UAD Quad Super Flex Fuel Flux Capacitor type card, or three, and a daw that actually handled synchronizing latency properly. UAD is seriously THE sickness.

Maybe I'd get a 1/2" two track, and a stack of tape.

I'd get an mpc 4k totally maxed out.

SP303

I'd get the highest quality 16 channel mixer.

I'd get health insurance.

Fast reliable laptop, few cheapish pieces of kit for imaginary potential live rig (t-resonator, cheap comp/limiter to stop it blowing shit up, 3 laptop riser things, launchpad, a tiny tiny tiny mixer. soundcard with lots of ins/outs and minimum latency, some software I would love to own, couple of 57/58s.

Small but nice second-hand rig, maybe 4k at a guess. Makes peoples houseparties more fun and easy, lets me fieldtest tracks, potentially adds a extra (tiny) stage at friends outdoor parties, plus I can play "Im taking my ball and going home" except for adults :wink:

Thats ten grand right there. Kinda depressing really lol :u: -w-
