I have an old ass windows xp laptop and fruity loops, it cost me $0 because it is not mine lol, I'm trying to change this.

I want to get a better setup with a proper DAW, MIDI controller, keyboard maybe.. Trying to get an idea how much a proper setup will cost me. It'd also be cool if you have some tracks to show that you made with X setup so I can see what each slew of gear has potential for.

thanks

It's not what gear you have it's how you use it.. and fruity loops is a proper daw

Its embarrassing that I have this much kit and nothing to show for it, so I'm not telling. Suffice it to say, "too much" and "too much".

THX!

lol, are you trying to imply I am a thief nowaysj?

Looks clean abcgle, how much coin?

give or take would have been about 10k. dont have too much to show for it as of yet(been too busy trying to make the most of my youth) but have been back into the past few months and its going good so should have some stuff to be proud of soon.

I got a 2010 Imac I just bought,Fast track pro interface(complete crap),some alteclansing thx bullshit speakers(monitors is my next investment..),Axiom 49 midi keyboard,ADC SS-300SL Stereo EQ and thats about it..got a pic of the setup but it's on my iphone and I'm too lazy to upload it haha

My totally wrecked studio at the moment:

Production: Korg PadKontrol, Sennheiser HD-25 II, and a Dell Dimension 5150 with a whole 1GB ram
Mixing: Behringer DJX 700 which is horrible and 2x Denon DNS3000 with popped out cue buttons on both

most of you are fairly lucky

I studied all my life, and worked very hard to afford what little I have.

This is signature deserving.

pc: custom ~ 500 dollars
interface: emu 1820m, which i payed like 450 for at the time, now worth probably like 120 (4 years later)
monitors: yamaha hs80m's, which i payed 400 for the pair
headphones: shure srh840's, i payed 90 dollars
midi controller: keystation, payed like 100
synths: virus ti, payed around 1200 for it about 4 years ago
roland jp-8080, payed like 150 for it off ebay
estimated value: $2,890

How you like that jp 8080. I wanted one back in the day so bad.

What kind of sounds do you use it for?

i rarely use it anymore, i bought it in 2006 when i produced trance based music.
i mostly use it now just to practice sound design, and fuck around.
it has an awesome supersaw waveform that i have yet to see emulated in any software or another synth, so for that, it's great.
other synths you have to use a extremely fast lfo synced to the pulse width, but the jp, you just dial the super saw, set the detune and it sounds dope.
the filter is pretty decent also and has a nice warmth to it.
