Is it possible to avoid fancy software and still be able to produce some A+ tracks ?
I was just having this argument with my friend, and I wanted to know what you guys's opinion is. I think it's not so hard given the right equipment.
The only equipment that I use is a Korg Electribe EMX-1 synthesizer / Music prduction station (which I absolutely love) and a simple CASIO CTK-700 used as midi controller for the synthesizer.
I find myself in desperate need for more synths in my tracks and my synthesizer can support up to 5 per track, however if I get two of them then I will end up with 10 per track then I will be talking business.
Also I find myself in a desperate need for independent volume controller for each synth.
Maybe you guys can share some experience with me on my choices here .

Correct.
And to answer the question, yes. There once was a time when music was entirely analog. Basically the 1980s and earlier.

Demoted's right. All those tunes were made with fancy hardware.

OK, now that we have an agreeement point here.I have mentioned the hardware that I have and that I feel a need for something else amongst my gear what would that be ? What would you guys think would dramatically improve my track's quality / make my productions much simpler ?

It takes time and practice to convert from a noob to a producer.

I understand that, and I agree that it takes time and patience I am not rushing any of that, but what I am wondering about is that considering how small my set is (just an EMX-1) would there be something you guys might think would be a good idea to try out and maybe add to the set ?
I know this type of question wouldn't be easy to answer as there is no specefic answer to it, but put yourself in my place what would you go out and grab next to improve the quality of your tracks ?
