Think of production as if it was magic. You don't want to use the same wand as your favourite magician. You want to learn the tricks that he performs. That is what's important...Not the instrument that he uses.

One true thing and the biggest mistake we all make as beginners is thinking that copying the equipment that our favourite producers use will mean we will sound like they do. Once you get some production knowledge under your belt you will see how ridiculous that path is. You need to learn how to produce..Once you do it will provide so many answers for you. The toughest part is building up an instinct for what production is. At the start its brutal..I feel for you man. But once you get about halfway you already know what the next half is..You can see the light at the end of the tunnel and you know what questions to ask at that point..At the beginning its so confusing you dont know where to begin at all.

The best thing you can do is find out which equipment is the best. Not which producer uses which equipment. The best sequencer will always be the best sequencer as the best synth will always be the best synth. You need to study what makes a synth good.. What makes a sequencer good. And it's not specifically something that pertains to any of us. You have to figure out why it's right for you.


You are on the right track though like I said earlier. If you get a Mac and Logic and a Mackie Control you are going in the best direction possible. The only thing that can go wrong after that is if you don't apply yourself. Studying is the most important part of this..coupled with trial and error. And never stop asking questions.



This is the thing "There is no best" Its bad form to speak in extreme specially in music... Go tell a gibson guy fender guitars are better.....
