OK please tell me how much you think, i mean how could Armin afford this, did he Dj for a long time until he could afford these or what....please tell me cause i wanna get something similar since Djs don't grow until they create their own songs..
robstar
About 100 grand maybe even more(?)
Dj_Psygnosis
Yeh but how did Armin afford this...i mean he was like everyone here right...

was Armin a usual youth Dj who had inspiration for being a dj...how did he grow big...

i mean did he Dj for a while and get a setup to make normal songs and gradually buy more equipment..



OK another Question....i know Ferrys first song was Out of blue (i think), did he do the same thing.
robstar
I would like to know that too mate.
I have mailed a few Producers/Dj's and asked how much money they make...but nobody wants to say that.

bitches!!:whip: lol!! :D
Robert
you dont need all that stuff... especially if you dont know how to use it (im not implying you dont know tho).
Dj_Psygnosis
yeh i know i won't need all of that but i need some stuff that can enable me to make tunes that i like not tunes that the computer only limits too...

i wanna think of a song in my head and just create it, i got heaps of new riffs, melodies in my head but i want them to come alive.
Robert
you should try software first. dont go of buying all that stuff.
Seventh City
yes robert is the master of software synthesization
Robert
no im not, what im trying to say is use software first. if you're crap at that chances are you wont do much better with hardware.

A lot of people don't go and buy all of that right at once...that's a huge hit on one's bank account. He probably bought most of that stuff one-by-one.
