HARDWARE VS. SOFTWARE

[Meelo]

just doin a lil survey.. my bad if its already been posted, couldnt find shit with the search function..

if you use hardware...MPC, Triton, etc. state what you use..

if you use software, reason, fruity loops, etc. state what you use...

if you use both, state exactly what.

thanks.

I use both...for the actual music portion I use hardware. I only use software to arrange things into song format.
Hardware:
Sp-303 sampler ,8 track digital recorder and a couple of Emu sound Modules...mixer and turntable too.

Software:
Cubase and acid

mpc is dope but if u tryin to conserve money,get a trigger finger or the mp pads from akai, analog mixers can be exchange for a control surface for use in software, most are motorized,which is a plus+ saves money,but an analog mixer can serve for more outputs/inputs depending on what your trying to do,sometimes better sound quality

i have an mpc,and If I didnt I would never consider getting those midi pads...the mpc strong points aint having pads..its just a bonus..

I'm just using FL Studio right now with lots of VST/DX plugins.

But I'm planning on throwing in a midi controller or 2 very soon.

I do most of my sequencing in Ableton Live with a ton of VST's or Fl Studio depending on how I'm feeling. I have Pro Tools M-Powered also and an M Audio midi controller I use with my laptop. I chose the software side just because it real portable and less expensive for me + I'm still trying to get the hang of things. I guess it's kinda cool I can get busy wherever I'm at. All I have to do is pack up my laptop, midi controller and some headphones and I'm good. I'd love to have a hardware setup tho.
