Just curious about what kind of equipment everyone is working with. Not the typical recording equipment like mixers/mics/monitors and such, but when it comes to beat making, what do you use?

Myself, I've got my Stanton Str8-80 turntables, and my vinyl collection to start off with. I'm also working with Native Instrument's Maschine. I love this piece, and it's the center of my workflow most of the time. I've also got an M-Audio Keystation 61 midi keyboard. It definitely gets used quite a bit as well. Besides those, I like to incorporate live instruments into my beats as well. I've got electric and acoustic guitars, and a drum set.
 
Nice, I think I left a comment on one of your YouTube videos. Are you on Future Producers as well?
 
im using fl 9 ... event 20/20 monitors...and old scs 500 wat mono amp... neuendo 4...my comp has 3gb on the processor and 4gb ram.. on windows seven.. its a really basic set-up
 
I think, . Hip Hop in Session videos will help you discover what you need to create that new Hip Hop sound heard in todays music.
 
I don't produce hip hop, I make dark electronic, dubstep, D&B.

I use Maschine and Ableton Live for beats. Got quite a bit of outboard synths as well, Prophet, Moog, JV, Venom, and a couple of small Korgs, nothing beats a bit of outboard sounds to keep it real! :)
 
I don't produce hip hop, but my music is influenced by 80's hip hop...I'm into breakbeat, drum n bass and dubstep. I have a Roland MV8800, Roland MC307, Korg EA-1, some crates of records, and Studio One software. I don't really know what i'm doing, but it's fun as hell!
 
midi keyboard, motif rack, rnc, software acid, cakewalk, soundforge and vsts and of course vinyl
 
I use a M-Audio Axiom 25 with Reason 5 (beats) (and a massive library of sounds to mix and tweak)
An M-Audio Audio Buddy preamp and an AKG mic for the vocals. Cubase SX3 as the software (too many plugins to list)
Add the KRK Rokit 5's for mixing (I thought about getting 8's but damn I've gotten complaints from the neighbors on my 5's)
Throw in a 32" Samsung flat screen for the screen (used to use 2 flat screen pc monitors side by side)
