• Musical Equipment Dilemma
    1 replies, posted
so as of now I've managed to gather up 300 or so dollars for electronic music equpment. Over the past... Year? year seams about right, I've been working on using ableton live as well as serato itch, and I think it's about time that I actually bought equipment. the only question is, what type. Hopefully over time I will be able to accumulate all of these things, but as of now I need to decide which to go with. my ideas are as such Novation twitch- cool controller that can control serato as well as ableton I believe [img]http://www.djtrend.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/novation-twitch.jpg[/img] or a combination of an mpk mini - an iddy biddy key-board thing with 8 drumb pads and some knobs and a novation launchpad - a bunch of beautiful light up buttons that works well with ableton [img]http://www.dv247.de/assets/products/81722_l.jpg[/img] Which option would you suggest I go with?
Buy an audio interface and studio monitors instead of midi controllers. You can get an akai LPK25 for a few bucks and for making electronic music that's all you will ever need in terms of midi control. If you want to DJ specifically get the Serato Twitch(personally I would save up some more and get turntables + a mixer with timecoded vinyls if I wanted to DJ but whatever) Don't rush to buy stuff, you won't need most of it.
