opinion on some hardware

[kim206]

sup siccness fam, i been using fruityloops for almost two years now basically that is my tenure as a beatmaker and i wanted your opinion if this was a good setup to accompany FL. I had a extra thousand left over and i wanted to cop these items. Let me know if something is uneccesary or replace an item with another, thanks.



Behringer Eurorack UB802 mixer
Stanton T.50X Belt Drive Turntable (for sampling to pc)
E-MU Xboard
Korg MircoKorg
Fostex PM0.4 Powered Studio Monitors
Sennheiser HD201
Alesis Sr-16

1 question, should i leave out the drum machine since i got a bunch of drum kits already on FL or Cop it, and if yes what can I get for 150 instead of it.

I'd leave that out.

i think u should get a direct drive, its safer. Sometimes u just need to scratch.

Id also leave out the drum machine, thats wat fl basically is.

I think the micron sounds better then micro korg

I've seen used 1200's going for $150...and even a used 12 is gonna be a lot better than any belt drive...but I guess if you're just using it for sampling its okay.

good advice yall, thanks. one more thing big hollis beats are crazy anyone know what he uses , he probably utilizes fruityloops since i herd the scratches varouis time on some X - Raided songs. didn't X stated big hollis beats were not generic but not real? thats why he got new producers? anyway the unforgiven lyricall and production wise is dope. i know hollis didnt do that but man tjumbs up

^^^ I cant say for sure what hollis is workin with today but he previousley was using mpc and hartdware...so it seems unlikely he would take a step backwards and go with fruity loops.

i think he had a bunch of rack modules... i heard triton (or trinity) sounds, mophatt, proteus.. i dont know.. just listen carefully cause he dont tweak his sounds far from the presets

Last time I was at Hollis spot he had a Fantom XR, Motif ES, and a few other modules and some software stuff too.
