Hi,
Also theres
the korg electribe s. I like it because it has sampling capabilities, a squencer, and cool effects.
Your not going to be able to get everything on this budget, but with a few pieces youll soon have enough to really learn about recording. Then you can upgrade piece by piece your studio and with what youve learned with your starter set up youll be a bad mutha fucka.
Id say you need a mic, a soundcard,a pre amp, some speakers or moniters, some keys and a sequencer. The important thing at your stage is just to get all these bases covered so you can learn, then piece by piece get better gear.
If you have a decent computer at all heres a few options:
n-track:
www.fasoft.com
orion:
www.sonic-syndicate.com
and for a soundcard maybe an sb live. Theyre not the best, but they have a built in sampler. If you already have a sampler, then a better soundcard is the delta 44(for down the road in the future perhaps)
So, youll use your soundblaster as a sampler, and record on n-tracks and orion.But, youll need a keyboard to do that:
alesis qs 6.1
roland rs 5
yamaha cs 2x
So, you have to decide what you wantb to do. If you could boost your budget up to $800 or $1,000 then youd be able to start recording complete songs so you can learn.
Remember, the key here is to get set up so you can learn. Then youll upgrade and be able to kick ass.
Peace,
Robert
