Hello all
a little background
Ive been using FL since ver. 3 but only as a hobby, but as of late ive been wanting to get serious. I wanted to go the MPC/hardware route, but i stumbled on this site and read up that with software i can do the same things. Ive been using my typing keyboard as a "keyboard" and many people say im pretty good at what i do. Im ready to take it to the next level. Ive searched the forums and im not quite clear on what i really need to do that. I don't need to be able to record vocals or anything just yet. I just want to be able to have the best gear to enhance my creativity. Im not concerned with getting "G.A.S" because im very good with money and ill ask a million questions before i spend a dime.
From my research i understand that i need:
Audio interface
Decent monitors
midi keyboard/and or some pads
learn a new type of software (personal choice)
What are some things i should consider?
Can any of you guys give any suggestions on what i should pick up?
I just got a 5000 credit limit at musician's friends
and about 3-4k in cash to blow. I dont reallly want to charge but i will if i have to.
My Computer setup is:
AMD 2.3 triple core with 3gigs RAM (running 32 bit xp but im going win 7 64 in a few days)<----is it necessary?
I run FL 9 Pro with sample tank, FM8, kontact
Im thinking of switching to cubase. Not because i dont think FL is good but because i just like the challenge of learning.
What software should i pick up coming from something like FL? What else would i need to purchase with that?
Any help is appreciated....thanks in advance
