I'm just going to be brutally honest here for a second.

If you really have no idea what you want (or why you even want it) then I think it's better if you get nothing at all. I've seen people buy expensive gear time and time again because they think it will make them a great producer only to find out that same gear collecting dust in a corner somewhere a year later because it didn't magically improve their productions after all.

if you can't make it sound good enough hardware won't help.

experience experience experience is what counts, stick with what you have, maybe think of buying some monitors.

You weren't as good at dj-ing after 4 times as you are now right...

i saw that the supernova is good but i dont know what hell it is lol

By reading this alone it tells me one thing.. You should do some research if you wanna get hardware. I can't imagine asking a question like this on a forum... Type supernova in google or yahoo search engines and you will find quite a lot of info about it, and eaven some sound examples of what it can do.. How did you find this site man?

Can someone explain to me why people don't do any reasearch on their own?

I could, but you might as well google for it yourself

Stick with software for a while until you have more experience is my advice.

If you realy want to buy one of the synths you mentioned remember that as far as cheap hardware goes you will not be able to get a variety of sound to make for a full mix. Sticking to one cheap synth will push your music into one corner and all your mixes will sound a little too similar. I don't deny it's good experience though, especialy if you intend to invest at a later stage with more synths.

Software is very cheap per module compared to hardware, if you don't care for the copyright infringements it's even free on open-source vendors. Having an array of different software synths is <<>> a better sollution than a single hard-synth that offers less flexibility.

With experience software will be enough for the production of the best of tracks. Theirs plenty of guys I know who just bought themselves a good retailer laptop and some good headphones and are signed to reasonable lables.

If you considder spending up to E1400,-- you can choose between an extremely fast computer or a good synth module. Keep in mind that the purchase of a synth will make your production proces less CPU intencive, but more HD intencive. Considder that CPU's are evolving according to Moore's law and HD's have been spinning at the same rate for years. So with the future in mind <<>> you should opt for a CPU intencive production proces.

kind regards,

Charlie D

Review Latest Track; Charlie Delta - Then The Days Where Long

Music is as universal to people as breathing. We've probably been at it since before we even started talking. Immaging two cavemen smashing away at a peace of flint to make a spearhead. It wouldn't take long for them to learn te synchronise the sound. And there you have it, the words first percussive band.

Music has survived wars, famines, the plague and many other things and has evolved with man across many cultures. Dance music is just the next step in the evolutionary chain. My guess is that it will probably be with us untill we are extinced.

true.
try sticking to wat u have and improve ur skills with it first.

Well, the price is probably the same if you buy it now or later. Buying a synth with little experience is like throwing yourself in the deep end. So to some extent it can't do any harm.
