I'm thinking next year will be the year for equipment upgrades so I expect to be broke during most of it for that reason LOL.

Here's what I'm going to upgrade to (since I want to beef up the hardware route and blend it in with software)

I'll add an MPC 1000, Triton rack, Fantom rack, Korg D1600, an additional M-Audio midi controller (I want to go USB completely and stay off the game port...it's about ancient these days), monitors, a new rackmount preamp, rackmount effects processor, rackmount eq, and a couple of additional mics.

Luckily, I should make enough at my new job to where I can take care of my bills and all that and upgrade a little bit at a time. I'll probably get the bigger stuff (Triton, Fantom, MPC) when I get school pell grant checks...heh it's good to be in school.

Anybody else have any recent or planned upgrades? I'm just curious.
 
I feel ya ..I plan on adding a Korg D1600MK2 to my EMU XL-7 Command Station..dont really know if i want to add software or not..get some Active Monitors (6.5" or 8"), and i might get something else..dont know jet..im looking at the price..we will see..should have the Korg by the begining of the year..
 
All i really want now is another mic... maybe an AT4050. Theres nothing wrong with the one i have (Behringer B2), but it would make me feel better just to have a choice. I like the quality of my recordings, so the outboard effects processors dont really tempt me (i have one i dont even use!). I wouldve been interested in a MPC/Triton -- but now that I got these soundfonts... :D But, I do wanna get some acoustic foam/room treatment material..ive been putting that off for too long -- though have debated just recording vocals in the bathroom (cant front on that "tub" reverb, lol). Maybe a portable drum machine also, for putting down ideas on the train...or the couch (sometimes I just dont feel like sitting at the keyboard!). Ive used the Boss DR-5 before...its tight
 
dammit I knew I should have went to school, Id be finisned by now,lol.
