Pro tools is NOT THE BEST its just the industry standard for recording studios across the world......if you plan on jus recording and takin your sessions to a professional studio and havin them mix it then pro tools is your best bet....but if you can handle mixin yourself theres a few good progams......


i use:
Cubase SX3 or SE3 http://www.steinberg.net/33+M52087573ab0.html

and

Samplitude http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/Jun03/articles/samplitude7.asp


i can hook you up wit either one holla at me on pm........

i use the Rode NT1A microphone
http://www.zzounds.com/item--RODNT1A

your gonna need a usb or firewire audio initerface for your comp......make sure it has phantom power for your mic

http://www.zzounds.com/cat--Audio-Interfaces--2418


and some decent studio monitors for mixing
http://www.zzounds.com/cat--Studio-Monitors--2862

if you wanna make beats reason or fruity loops are about the only programs you can easily make beats wit on a comp.....i can hook you up in that area as well......

if you make beats on the comp then you need a usb midi keyboard.....not cuz it sounds better like someone else said....(midi doesnt produce sound it jus sends information to your system and tells it to play notes and velocities and such....the sound depends on your SYSTEM not the board) but because it will be more realistic to playin a real keyboard and give you the hands on instead of cliccin with the mouse.........the more sophisticated the board the more features it has and the more expensive they get.....some of them come combined with audio interfaces so you dont need to buy it seperately.....

http://www.zzounds.com/cat--Keyboard-Controllers--2684




otherwise your gonna have to cop a workstation keyboard like a Korg Triton Extreme, Roland Fantom, or Yamaha Motif

http://www.zzounds.com/cat--Keyboard-Synthesizers--2704

if you got 2-3 g's to spend cop this.....its a windows based pc built for music with keyboard attached....all you need is a mic and some monitors then you set.....

http://www.openlabs.com/




so as you see there are a lot of options out there.......nake sure you know what you need and what you dont before you waste money......and dont listen to too many people who barely know what they talkin about....ask some cats who been recording for a while if you need some tech advice.............checc out the studio forum here on siccness.....theres been lots of threads about this.......

then once you get all that figured out you get the fun of learnin how to hook it all up right and use it correctly.....this shit aint some overnight hobby mayne....i been doin it for years and finnally got it all down.......

i make slaps wit fruity loops.....listen to this.....its 3 beats in one so let the whole thing play...and these arent even my best jus some quicc ones i made.....

www.myspace.com/valleypain

like i said dont listen to people who dont know what they doin wit it....it jus takes time knowledge and some natural talent....
its not what you use its how you use it.....dr dre made some of the best beats on earth with way less then what we have today......

PRO TOOLS IS GOOD. GOOD QUALITY. BEST PROGRAM OUT RIGHT NOW. BUT ITS NOT ABOUT THE PROGRAM. ITS ABOUT THE MIC THAT U GET OR HAVE FEEL ME. IF U HAVE A GOOD AS MIC AND RECORD ON COOL EDIT, ACID ETC AND YOU KNOW HOW TO FUCK WITH THE VOCALS IT WILL COME OUT CLEAN AS FUCK LIKE IF U RUNNIN PRO TOOLS BUT YOUR NOT FEEL ME

come on tank you been doin this long enough i think you should know that pro tools doesnt change a thing about your vocals without you doin it yourself.....the quality might be better than cool edit but you still gotta edit and fucc wit your vocals to get the mix right regardless of what program you usin......pro tools aint magic its jus convenient....and you have to get the compatible interface wit pro tools so you end up payin out the ass jus for that shit.....

IF YOU STARTING GET SOME SIMPLE STUFF. YOU CAN STILL MAKE VERY GOOD USE OF IT. YOU DONT WANT SOME EXPENSIVE SHIT WITH A WHOLE BUNCH OF BUTTONS UNLESS YOU REALLY KNOW HOW TO USE IT. SOME OF TODAYS BEST RAPPERS HAVE USED FRUITY LOOPS YOU BE SURPRISE. WHATEVER YOUR DECISION BEST OF LUCK.

hell yeah,makin intricate and complex string,bass,and synth patterns IS A BITCH without a keyboard.I got make hella dope drum patterns on FL studio but strings and shit is a bitch.beats dont sound tight without complex shit like dope basslines or strings
