: Hi everyone,
i myself make dance on a virtual studio setup.i have an athlon 900mhz pc with 128 mb ram running cakewalk pro,rebirth,simsynth,fruityloops,vsampler,cyclonix vocoder and rubberduck.my keyboard is a roland xp 10.this kinda setup works for me 'cuz i have almost everything any pro has!and it cost me far less and takes up no space.at least not physically!now if u get cubase,that would be even better,'cuz rebirth runs inside it like a plug-in!rebirth is simply a must if u are even slightly serious about dance!if u wanna keep it totally virtual,i suggest simsynth!it's only 40 quid,but makes the kinda sounds that the 180 buck steinberg model e does!for samplers try mellotron or vsampler!cheap and cheerful!if u need a midi controller keyboard why not check out the yamaha djx 2?looks can be decieving!!there are about 500 sounds on board this thing,so it isn't just a controller keyboard,although it sells for that much!as far as mixers are concerned,i don't use one,but obviously,it makes a lot of difference!for the price,the powerpad by spirit is a brilliant powered compact mixer,with a great sound!plus being powered,u don't need an additional set of monotors!if you wanna skip the mixer and buy some monitors,check out the videologic sirocco spirits!great!
if you'd rather have a hardware set-up,then my pick for a great dance synth is the yamaha cs2x!for drums use a roland dr 770 drum box or a korg electribe ER 1!you do see that this would cost you far more!and we haven't even bought the sampler yet!soft is the way to go,mate!cheers!and remember,your pc must have at least 128mb rams!the more the ram,the better the performance!
: I used to have a home studio set up, it was mostly synth moduels and based around an Akai S3000 sampler.
: As I have been away from music for the past 6 years or so, I would love some advice on a new set up.
: I would love to run Qbase on the PC as that is what I had experience with as a sequencer in the past.
: Can I acheive a good virtual studio set up using the PC as the heart? Or will I have to get a mixing desk and moduals again.
: I aim to program a variety of music....but mostly digital dance stuff, so need good sample manipulation e.g. good resonance filters etc.
: Any help would be appreceiated, and happy new year everyone :o) : Ricky
