+1

I think a lot of the older prodcuers like armin , marco v and ,arcel woods etc had to use hardware in they're day ass software didn;t cut it so they have a lot of equipment. Now a days though soft synths rock almost as closely as hardware so most of the new guys breaking into the scene will probs be software only. like me

Absolute rubbish...

why is everyone arguing about proper monitors being essential? they are...

as someone who hasn't had the luxury of producing on a proper studio setup its terrible not to have good monitors...and you can't produce anything meaningful without them. sure you can sequence a song and get a general layout, but you have no way of knowing exactly what your sounds sound like. going over to my friends studio not too long ago...i was blown away with his sound...i agree with the people saying first update needs to be soundcard and monitors...

I'm thinking you chose your words a bit wrong there but that most certainly is not true...

My friend uses a pair of Sony speakers ripped off a mini hifi along with onboard sound, but would still pwn most of the gear whores on this forum on production/mix quality lol :P

all i'm saying is if i try and make a song on my crappy soundcard and speakers....i burn a copy after i think i'm getting somewhere and listen to it on a different system...BAM...sounds totally different than i thought it does. levels are all whacked...sounds are pitchy. that's no way to go about making professional music. you need at least some improved sound gear so you know exactly what you're working with. i can't wait to update my setup with those things...i know it'll improve my productivity 10 fold...

What you say makes sense, except for the last line. I've heard that one too often with regards to some piece of kit somebody doesn't have.

Anyway, decent speakers are a must.

the only reason i say that is because when those things happen i basically get frustrated and stop working. once i can alleviate that frustration...i feel...at least for myself...i'll be able to improve my work flow and finish projects. i have a lot of unfinished things on hold until i can afford the update. i just don't really feel like i can provide any kind of polish without them...

i know for a fact that i could spend £2000 on a moog voyager and instantly my sound would improve 1,000,000 times. no software synth can match that bass warmth.

my ideal system would consist a nord lead, a voyager and a ssl duende. all running into a logic based apple.

this would cost just over £6000 but i know i would need nothing else for production of my music.
