Like i've been saying, I sold a bunch of stuff and got me a little cash to work with and I blew it all and thensome today lol.
I went and got that new Dell Studio XPS this mutherfucker is loaded with that new i7 intel quadcore 6 gigs of DDR3 ram and a 640 gig hard drive, this badboy was number one since i can use it for way more than just recording music and making beats, My final goal is to have a full blown multimedia workstation crackin, audio/video/photo the whole 9
So i slid over to guitar center and got that Akai MPD32 controller, seems to be built pretty solid nice pads and knobs and shit, i was debating on either this or that new mashine NI has. it was a toss up and i went with the MPD.
I also got the reason 4 upgrade with recycle. I was getting burned out on reason 3 but i was thinking i already know how to use it really well, might as well upgrade and learn the new shit on it. will be a quicker learning curve than learning a whole new way of doing things with the mashine or an MV or MPC. With recycle i can get my chop on the right way instead of imoprting little chops from my super streamline version of cubase and mapping them in reason (pain in the ass)
Lastly i copped the Artura Factory analog experience VST that comes with an integrated controller. I gotta say out the box this is the finest built midi controller I've ever touched. Built like a tank out of aluminium and real wood panel sides. I'm hoping the controller will work well with reason because for now I'm virtually DAW less, maybe my old ass versian of cubase can host it. from the demos it sounds great, I wanna eventually wanna make samples with it and chop em up in recycle and drop em into rex or nnxt.
All in all I dropped just about 2 racks today, i can't believe i spent that much money but i think in the end its gonna be worth it. I'm glad my gf has no idea how much this shit costs lol shed probably try to bug out on me! I'm about halfway done with the foundation to my audio suite, in the next few months i wanna get a new interface with more i/o and a good DAW and some plugins. I wanna get my setup to the level that i can record bands. It will take time but at least i got my ass off the pot and am moving in the right direction.
