| Skip the keyboard for now and combine your budget on monitors. You'll thank me later. |

You can find a decent pair of KRKs for $500-$600
V6s and maybe V8s. But depending on your room size, the V6s might be enough. Actually for $600 you can probably get both V6's and a small midi controller. Craigslist is our friend. |

| I'd stick to either ADAM or Focal. Both have budget models. If you don't have the $$ for a pair now, get a nice pair of headphones (AKG or Sony) until you do. Don't waste your time with less when it comes to monitors, you're only limiting yourself. |

Seriously listen to Alan. He's owned and sold every piece of equipment I can think of. |

The guys budget is $600 for Monitors and Midi Keyboard, not $1000 or $2000, and headphones wont do him anywhere as good as proper monitors. |

Theres really no cheaper quality monitors then $600?
Thats sad, I got a nice pair of headphone for $120 and was hoping I'd get my monitors for around $300. Guess I'll just keep pushing back buying the first piece of hardware lol (first *nice piece of hardware).
Well honestly then if you can save an extra $100 I think that would work out better. You can get a decent midi board for $100 (it will do the job) then spend the rest on proper monitors. |

Okay so I won't have to make a new thread I'll ask a question here :)
I have been djing for two years now and I finally want to jump into producing before it's too late, as I saw the other thread start producing while your younger is better in the long run. :toothless
I have finally saved up enough money to invest in gear and I just ordered Logic studio 9 for my Macbook Pro.
What are good monitors to get? Someone told me I should get these ones
Dynaudio BM 6A mk II
what are your guys honest opinion? Thanks alot! |
