I basically got 500 bucks Cdn. to play with. I got basically nothing besides FL Studio 4 and a good computer. So here is what i am planning on getting right now.

PCI Audiophile 2496
Oxygen 8 (or possibly the Radium???)

Anyother recommendations on synths...keyborads?? I could scrounge p a few more bucks for extras

If I'm not mistaken, the big draw for the oxygen series is the built in sound card. So, if you're going for the audiophile, your best bet is the Radium. I have a Radium 49 that I absolutely love, and it was under $150, leaving me a little left over for "inspirational purposes"

i would get a micro-korg

plenty of presets for trance house and other genres as well as recording ur voice and modifying it which would be pretty insane with vocal tracks

gl on ur choice

I wouldn't be able to stand a 2 octave keyboard(Oxygen 8)! That's just not enough keys dammit! The Radium's alright, but I wouldn't pay that much for just a midi keyboard conroller.

So personally, I would just get an old keyboard off e-bay and use it primarily as a midi controller, and then invest in some good vstis.

Thread about midi controlers...great !!.
I'm going to buy midi controler
Evolution MK 449 USB. Anyone could help me with choice ?

Well since u live in toronto...

goto mississauga hurontario (hwy 10) and lakeshore since u'll be driving south take a left keep driving east until u reach a store called

L.A. music which would be on ur left side

Go in and ask to speak to the owner...tell him ur real interested in buying Micro-Korg but only have about 450 cash...it sells for 500 but if ur confident and negotiate with him it will work

again this piece is awesome

u can basically make a melody of ur voice!

If im not mistaken, the Oxygens dont have a built in sound card. Its the Ozones that do. Same thing, just with a sound card. I dont have it backwards, do i?

um...ah...er... My bad, you're absolutely right. Get a radium anyway. Much less switching between octaves.

The Edirol PCR-50 midi keyboard controller is very nice too

get a radium 61 and a m audio delta sound card look on ebay and just pay attetion and shit and you can find them for cheap. itll use your full 500 but itll be well worth it especially if you plan on doing alot of production.
