Hi all,
I have decided it is about time to start building my little home studio. I am a guitarist first, so I have that base covered. I am mostly concerned about my choices in keys/synths.
Let's say I have $1,200 to spend on getting my studio started. I know that is extremely modest, but it's all I can do at the moment. I'm looking to start with a keyboard/synth, 8-track recorder, and drum machine. All this equipment must be used, of course.
I'm looking to pick up a used Boss DR-660 for drums, and a Roland VS-880. Both used I can score for about $800 on HC or eBay, unless you have any other recommendations. I'm focusing on the keys/synth now. That leaves about $300-$400 for that.
What do you recommend for a good, entry-level, professional-sounding keyboard/synth — in the $400 range, used?
Thanks!
