new keyboard

hey guys i'm going to buy a keyboard just for my productions (no live performances,etc etc), shall i buy it with 49 or with 61 keys? the price difference is just about 50� (m-audio oxygen). cheers

Stay away from M-Audio.
Look at the Novation Remote SL instead.

well I've got M-Audio and it works great for me... Radium 49, just enough to do the job .

+2 i also have it and i even use it to control Native Instruments Traktor to make my own mix sets =]. It's a good choice! I hate the feeling of M-Audio keys, so casio'esque.

I use a Casio, because it was the only USB one I could buy here without to have to ask it to the US.
Have been using it since 6 months so far, and I dont have a single complain .

Kopi =o.

I got the radium 49.. quite happy with it. For home use I'd go for the 61 key version if you got the room.

I'd say 49 keys are enough. Got a M-Audio Axiom 49, and I'm very content with it, never needed more, and I dont see me ever needing the extra keys in the future.
