hardware:still working on the hardware!!

damn. what you you people doing with all that equipment? producing beats for other artists, making your own tracks, video game soundtracks, film scoring, etc.?

as far as just making beats for the streets, i'm using a qy100 and a es1 (can't afford much else) and i'm selling tracks for local artists and mixtapes. no, it's not the big time yet. but i am getting my tracks out there. i think i'd have a heart attack if i sat down in a home studio like some of you have (Mr. Chris). i'd have to sell my body to science to buy a mpc4000 and a motif.
