I paid $400 for my triple core, but it was a refurb

some speakers, a turntable for my vinyls...I guest that 1000$ is all waisted now!

really no idea. i got $500 sitting here and I dont know what to buy lol
id say new comp but i just got one...


i think NFX posted this becouse he has 1000$ on his hands and doesnt know what 2 buy

i think by now NFX has what he needs, and if not he know's what he needs

I would buy a digital mixing controller. Love the tascam dm3200 but its $ 3200

if i had a thousand dollars given to me, i wouldn't spend it all right now. i would use it to build up my lab. and these are the things i would buy.

Cubase(latest version)
Cubase tutorial $ 40
FLStudio tips and tricks $40
Tascam USB interface$ 100-200
Condenser microphone_price may vary
1 TB Hard Drive'$ 200

I'll have about $370 left so i would save it for the future.

I would buy a Mpc500 and some better speakers cuz my wally world speakers just don't cut it.  also a decent mic.

heres my list ^^

What i would buy:

some curtains to hang on my walls, for better acoustics $200

the MPC1000 padfix upgrade (the pads i have now will undoubtably cripple me one day) $180

the MicrokorgXL synthesizer $549

Donate to warbeats (always intended to, still have not gotten around to it ) $30

Some XLR cables for the microkorg $40

that leaves me one buck, wich i will invest in a random homeless person asking me for change ^^

This would be a great start to a decent studio.
I am a rapper who is learning to make beats on something besides "Music Generator", I have been watching the Tutorials and practicing with FL8, but without a keyboard I am having difficulty being as creative as I would like.

And my current PC can't seem to handle the multiple processes in FL8, especially when I play a sample while my project is playing to see if it has a similar sound, but the dual core with plenty of RAM should fix that issue.

Not to mention a decent Mic and a professional piece of equipment to plug it into would give a better sound quality to my verse recordings.

Love the tutorials, keep'em coming.

here is what i would get: Mpc1000 for sampling from ebay hopefully for a price lower that 999.99
and a Turntable so i can do some needle dropping.

Well I've been looking at prices a I can 1 funking midi keyboard with $1000 and not even a great one... funk
