Hi everyone. I'm new here. Before I start with my questions. Lemme give you some background.
I've been into music since I was probably 11. I played a lil bit of guitar and bass. My bro has a drum set and I'd mess on that sometimes. Then I got into DJing. Like doing battles and scratching.
I want to get into making beats and doing some freestyle hip hop stuff. Like J5, Atmoshpere, etc. Music in that genre.
My equipment list consists of:
Technics 1200s
Vestax PMC05II
Mackie CFX12 mixer
External CD recorder
Boss drum machine(not sure what one, but I'll find out in a week, I'm out of state right now)
I'm just curious what kind of inexpensive(under $1000) pieces of equipment I should look into getting.
I'm considering a condenser mic from MXL. I was looking at the MXL990. Its cheap, but all the reviews I read from people who owned it liked it. So I'll give it a try. I was also looking at the AKAI MPC1000. Does it do more than beats? Like rhythems or whatever? I'm not too familiar with how drum machines work.
Does anyone recommend a recording program that isn't too expensive to put onto a computer?
Any suggestions? Thanks for your time.
