so i've focused on creating a working setup for the forseeable future.
i'm going to get a new laptop.
i'm thinking that i'll run soft synths & FLstudio with Battery 3 primarily off this machine.
it will also double as my "dj" laptop when i try to go for some small gigs by this summer. once i get a suitable midi controller (here) i'll try to put in 40-60 hours of study time with traktor and get my blends to a solid level... haterous real djs can get the diddick.
eventually i'll move on to the vestax midi jawn, but for now.
secondly i'm going to add an mpc to the mix. a full blown, sampling midi production center.
i've been subconsciously longing for a machine that consolidated the pieces i use some. like i hate having to sample into the computer, save the sample, then chop it, etc etc... i mean honestly i'd like to try out the mpc for a week before i BOUGHT one but hey. in this business you take risks.
the desktop is going to get a new motherboard and 2 350-500GB drives in RAID, windows xp pro and a clean wipe down. 1-2GB of ram. hopefully i can get rid of the 19" crt monitor i currently have and move toward a 17-19" LCD. i'm going to get an external 300GB drive for the laptop so i can store my music on it.
i figure once it's all done, i'll be looking at a $2k or $3k bill.
