I realize this has probably been asked here a lot, but I was looking for some of you experienced producers to help me out starting up a life-long dream of mine. Specifically, equipment suggestions I need to go from square 1.
I have roughly $2,000 (3 max if needed, but I'd like to keep it under 2) I've stashed to this point strictly for this endeavor. I figure thats enough to get started with equipment I wont outgrow in a short time.
First of all I realize this is not some hobby you buy your way to glory in, rather it is a mastered art and so I hope no one takes offense. To start, I have minimal experience of actual production, just playing around in FL for a while until now since I have the funds to get serious. I have spent a good deal of time researching and learning the craft as much as I can without actual hands on work. I just need the resources now to log time on.
A few things in addition;
- I'm looking to make hip hop beats mostly
- I already have a custom computor I built that should be able to handle just about anything
- I currently have FL studios and Ableton Live installed on my computer, not sure If that makes any difference.
I appreciate any and all suggestions/advice.
