Howd you save up for one? Theyre all like 1k and I think that you need some extra shit like a 8/16 track recorder w/ em to save wht you make. Did you kill or rob someone or wht? I heard djin is a good way but ehh inno. A couple ppl i kno also said that makin beats and sellin them on myspace or whtvr with keyboards is also a nice way to get money for em. So yeah im jus wonderin cuz i want one by next year.

what? Recycle IS time compression/ expansion. Every other time bending software is based off of recycles slice concept.

actually, y'all a witness to me saying: I just got my first hardware sampler today 22.03.2007!
AKAI MPC 500 is under my fingertips right now! Congrat me fam! For the question: I sold my DJ equipment, but before I did, I recorded every single record my dad and mom had in the house worth recording.

got kicked outta 2 colleges and ended up working 7 days a week at my dads gas station. Saved up all that money and finally bought a korg ES1 mkII, then a SP808ex to use as a multitrack and then the 2000xl, Korg ESX, Sampletrak, Yamaha su700, sp 505, a busted ass RS7000, and the worst machinery ever made, the MV 8000.

FL Studio 5.0.. Just saved up for a bit and went with the "Producer's Edition"... working on gettin my first hardware sample (MPC 2500) by the end of this summer. It's good to start with a cheap sampler to (a) make sure you have a passion for it and (b) if you can make something hot without needing the best equipment, you know you can make it...

yah, one of these was my second big music purchase...the four tracks thing is kind of limiting but you can bounce down to one track internally or resample four track stems back down to the pads so it's not as bad as it sounds.

I saved for awhile to get one of those back around 2000 when they were around $800 retail.
I worked at a deli (full time) and lived with some coke heads who wanted only $280/month rent with a friend so I only owed $140 a month.
