This post is no longer needed. If you are interesting in helping me out, go to "Newbie" section. I can not find the Delete button here so I am writing this. Thank you and sorry for the confusion.

Hi Jin,

I think I can help here. You said this was your goal: "I just want to make music that sounds SEMI-PROFESSIONAL and that's able to be put on youtube and create a mixtape and it sounds just like every other video / mixtape out there, maybe even better."

You can do that with much less than what you listed! A lot of people think it's the software or the gear that makes audio sound professional or not. But that isn't entirely true! If you want to hear a song recorded using free audio software (Audacity), a regular PC with the on-board sound card, and a cheap $5.00 PC mic, check out this YouTube video I did here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OigIc1RrUTY

I'd say you could DEFINITELY make semi-professional (even professional...to heck with the "semi") with Reaper as your multi-track software (incredibly awesome...I use it as my primary DAW), and Audacity as your editor.

I hope this helps you....and saves you money!

Good luck!

Jake
